My sister lives in US ans is like that. She's not really conservative but the narrative that 'democrats only worry about trans people' got to her. You don't have to watch Fox for this. It's enough to for example work with conservative people and not have strong personal opinions about those things.

It's all true but at the same time you're missing very important thing: a lot of people support extreme right-wing parties because those are the only parties that offer solutions to their problems. One of the main issues conservative guys see today is losing privileges they used to enjoy. For example I heard a guy complaining about the fact, that when he was younger he got naked into some girl's bed and she only screamed a bit and got angry but today he would go to jail. The big difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals see this change as a good thing. AfD and other parties are the only groups that oppose those changes and a lot of white guys are attracted to that. And it's hard to say they are wrong. For them it's all about their status, they see stopping those changes as a net benefit for them. Accusations like the one against Kevin Spacey are not making things better. The farther left you push those things the more people will be worried about their status and will start pushing back. AfD is an example of this push back. It's not all of it but it's a very important part of this dynamic.

Meanwhile streaming services are jacking up their prices, having locked in their viewers.

That's the one thing I don't agree with. No one is locked into streaming services. Charging the prices people are willing to pay is not enshittification. Encshittfication will be when they buy all the cable TV, shut it down, start producing only reality shows and show ads every 5 minutes. So far they charge more but Netflix is still making Oscar winning movies.

Wait till you learn about locked-in syndrome...

There's no pain involved. This is simply an extreme case of sensory deprivation. After 5 hours it can be stressful but it's not really suffering.

Not a lot of math in this one. At least not in the way I did it.

15 people ride trams in Wrocław.

So now we have to check the global statistics and figure out what's the probability is of someone dying in a derailment and estimate if we should risk it or just let the one guy die. Fun!

DDG doesn't find anything. Looks like it forgot about it.

It's not going to flip. Tolleys derail all the time (ask people living in Wrocław). They can't go fast enough to flip. It will just stop after couple of meters.

Can I still see it if I didn't watch Minions, Minions 2 and Minions 3 or will it be confusing?

Was about to say the same thing. I just had a call to inform my team that they are going to change our reporting lines for the 4th time in the last 6 months.
