Cookie Clicker is almost entirely client-side which means anyone has full access to the source code so it’s really hard to hide secrets in there! i’m kind of itching to make something server-side so i can go “haha good luck figuring this one out”

Reminder that this is an experiment as per their official announcement (screenshot below).
Since this is an experiment, give your feedback to staff!
And remember to be specific on how this new navigation layout they are experimenting with is not working for you; hating it is one thing, but usability on different devices with different screen orientations, operating system, etc., would be much more impactful and meaningful.
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED
this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!
to clarify, this is a petition to get production crew unionized (disney artists are already unionized). Production staff are a vital part of the crew without which NOTHING would get done, but this has nothing to do with CGI artists. It’s only within the last year or so that production has been able to push to join our union (IATSE local 839, the animation guild) and each studio that unionizes production is a huge win.
Anyway its in a really annoyingly out of the way place but in the wake of this stupid ass layout change "experiment"
This is the contact support form which is also the giving feedback form. I imagine this is more likely to get listened to than replying to staff posts with incoherent rage so I recommend just telling them the layout change is really bad before they get a chance to commit to it:
Please be more eloquent than this example. Also to the users with unchecked anger issues that you think makes you cool: no violently threatening the support team please that will help nothing and probably just be counterintuitive Just say the layout is bad and you don't like it. I believe in my heart that we can perform a #ThisNewLayoutSucksAssSweep
//In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Japan] on Tuesday said it was unlawful to restrict the use of bathrooms by a transgender woman at the economy ministry, overturning a lower court ruling. It is the first top court decision over bathroom usage by sexual minorities.
The ruling — a unanimous decision by the five judges on the bench — marks a significant step forward for the working conditions of transgender people, and could affect how companies and government ministries handle similar cases in the future.//
In Japan, transgender people can only legally change their gender if they have had gender reassignment surgery. The woman in this court case was apparently unable to do so due to health reasons.

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.

Remember kids, if a social media feature is ‘only available’ for US users, that means it’s probably so full of flagrant violations of EU privacy laws that you might as well just start sending your bank info to Nigerian princes too.
Relatedly I should mention that the US website Healthline is unusable over here if you decline their tracking cookies. It literally redirects you to a page that explains you're viewing Healthline Europe and so most of its content will be unavailable, but you can see their content if you just accept their cookies :)
If you're looking up info you don't want the government knowing about, like reproductive care, maybe that's something to consider
just as an FYI for those who don't know - the NYT publishes things that are lowkey eugenics and phrenology and race science CONSTANTLY. it flies under the radar except for journalism twitter calling them out but the NYT SUCKS. it is very hard to encourage people to find reliable sources online when the "reliable sources" like papers of record do shit like this, and the NYT is one of the WORST offenders.
Okay. Weighing in on this.
The scientific paper that the article is referring to can be read for free here
tldr; Thomas Talhelm (PhD student, University of Virginia) interviewed over 1,000 Chinese college students from the wheat-growing regions in the north versus the rice-growing regions in the south, and found differences in their approaches to answering particular types of questions which could not be attributed to either pathogen prevalence or GDP. There was a correlation between holistic thought and rice agriculture, which requires an extremely high level of coordination, planning, awareness of neighbors' needs, and community involvement because of how the crop grows. The study did not involve cultures outside of China. All of this occurred between different communities of Han Chinese people. It is an analysis of regional differences involving people of the same race.
Here is a critique containing possible issues with that paper
tldr; The phenomenon might better be described as "rice agriculture versus non-rice agriculture," but even then, there are cultures that score higher on holistic thinking than North Americans and Western Europeans that primarily grow crops with relatively lower community coordination (parts of Africa, South America, Russia, and the Middle East). Beyond this, the cost of crop production/effort to grow is not consistent throughout the world, because local growing conditions vary. The study is limited and needs to dive into other possible variables, but it's not completely without merit.
The author of the NYT opinion piece, T.M. Luhrmann, is a highly respected Jewish anthropology professor from Stanford who primarily studies the way in which different cultures treat psychiatric illnesses, and how the West's lack of compassion leads to poorer outcomes for the mentally ill.
Her opinion piece from the screenshot, which is all of 887 words, summarizes Talhelm's study and then ends with 3 brief paragraphs condemning the individualism of the United States, Congress, and Silicon Valley.
Genuinely everyone on the internet needs to develop better news literacy & research skills and understand that in any publication, there will be some variation in the quality of the reporting based on who your writers / opinion piece guests are. Especially when it comes down to non-scientists having to interpret scientific findings for the general public. But this isn't one of those cases - other than the poorly conceived illustration (which Luhrmann neither created nor approved), her article is absolutely fine. Other people may have run with the study and misattributed its findings, but that's not on her or the NYT.
PLEASE send me any questionable articles by the NYT that allude to race science, and I'd be happy to look into them and dig up the actual scientific papers to determine if / how they've been misinterpreted.
idk what the article actually said because i clicked on the link and the website told me to give them $60
ill be honest your reply makes me angry. Don't spread assumptions like this about articles based on the headline and a tbf absolutely horrendous caricature. like this is what @beemovieerotica means when they say people need better news literacy. Like it literally says in your very own screenshot that it is an opinion, not an actual news article. Sure the paywall on nyt sucks but maybe just don't post about it then when you simply do not know.

The thumbnail on the right features a stylized drawing of two oversized heads in profile pointed towards the center. The head in the top left corner depicts a person with blonde hair and a cool pink skin tone, whose eye is represented as a black dot. In the top right corner is a desert highway receding away from the viewer in one point perspective, with the vanishing point disappearing into a mesa on the horizon. The head in the bottom right corner depicts a person with black hair and a tawny skin tone, whose eye is represented by a horizontal line, similar to a hyphen. The bottom left corner is a sunrise or sunset over tranquil waters, a sailboat drifting to the far right as the land recedes to the left.
