I was going to be optimistic and say that maybe it's an ousting of toxic leadership, but I looked up Unknown Worlds and they were bought 4 years ago by a publicly traded company 🫤

Thank you so much for the writeup! I'll keep this in my pocket until the long, long wait for my vagina is finally over.

Sounds like a child or someone extremely immature that has uncritically absorbed idealistic, unrealistic, and counter-productive mass cultural ideals (meaning, created by the ultra-rich owners of media/advertising corporations to manipulate the masses for their own ends) without thinking about the necessary sacrifices to achieve those goals, or the negative consequences that would occur as a result of achieving those goals, or whether any of those goals would actually lead to fulfillment and happiness.

More than 1.4% of the US population (5 million people) protested on the same day nationwide a few days ago. It's not nothing. It gives me some hope. I'm a non-passing trans woman and am well aware of the coming danger.

US... does... good?... thing?? Which universe is this?

Edit: On a closer reading, it looks like it might actually mean "if you use AI/other non-animal methods we'll let you skip some safety testing" ("""streamlined review"""). Less animal murder so still good ofc, but :/

I didn't know this until I was watching Dominion after deciding to go vegan. I didn't really think about it much, but I figured they were bred to always produce milk or something, like how sheep have been bred to keep growing wool.

But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.

My favorite debunking is an old YouTube video called "moon hoax not" where a filmmaker explains that the due to technology limits of the time, faking the multi-hour live broadcasts in slow-motion, which millions of people were watching, would be impossible without there being telltale signs of it being spliced film (the splicing, film grain, etc.). Since slow-mo video (distinct from film; TV broadcasts were video) at the time could not play back more than a few seconds of footage, at most, it would have to be high-speed film played back at normal speed. Assuming you could find or make a high-speed camera fit to task. While the first landing had awful video quality, later missions had much higher quality and the film fakery would be impossible to completely hide. People these days massively overestimate the video (and film) technology that was available in 1969. (IIRC. It's been years since I've last rewatched it.)

Edit: TL;DR: Perfectly faking the multi-hour uninterrupted video broadcasts (i.e., either inventing slow-motion video that can last hours, or perfectly passing off a multi-hour film as video) in slow-motion would have been significantly more difficult than sending humans to the moon with 1969 technology.

IIRC, they didn't raise it because of the crashes. It's a privately owned rail line and they don't care about that because the bridge itself wasn't being damaged. It needed to be renovated anyway so they raised it to be level with the nearby at-grade crossing while they were at it.
