There might be some bias involved based on the third paragraph:
>The good news is that users can opt out of this data collection by deselecting it during the installation process. However, the process isn’t too straightforward either unlike AMD, which explicitly asks the user whether they want to opt out of data collection. Nvidia, however, enables and installs its Telemetry components by default and users are unable to opt out of it.
> It’s a link aggregator that finds an available file to stream to you from servers that already have the full file, which may or may not have been assembled from a legitimate source or torrent.
That’s literally the argument they use for torrents as well. They don’t host any material, just point to it. And they are still being taken down left and right for breaking some law or another in regards to that.
It’s also cases of no one alive knows/remember how it works, there is no documentation and they don’t want to pay millions and shut entire sites and operations down to reverse engineer it. Specially with the military.
Deleting it goes against the premise of “No stupid questions”. Hiding information in a place literally made to give out information without judging the question, is literally the opposite of the intent.
Many questions posted here are easily answer through wikipedia, and people might ask them in a place like this for a multitude of reasons. One of them being that they avoid looking it up directly as a way to limit themselves getting triggered from the pictures or text that might be there, and just want a more summarized answer to their question.
One important thing to note is that for many it hurts a lot less than you’d think, basically feeling like a light scratch.
Wikipedia has more detailed information and sources:
Those who engage in self-harm face the contradictory reality of harming themselves while at the same time obtaining relief from this act. It may even be hard for some to actually initiate cutting, but they often do because they know the relief that will follow. For some self-harmers this relief is primarily psychological while for others this feeling of relief comes from the beta endorphins released in the brain.
Endorphins are endogenous opioids that are released in response to physical injury, acting as natural painkillers and inducing pleasant feelings, and in response to self-harm would act to reduce tension and emotional distress. Many self-harmers report feeling very little to no pain while self-harming and, for some, deliberate self-harm may become a means of seeking pleasure.
An abnormal amount of lawsuits are settled because the prosecution is pushing serious charges they might not be able to prove. Then scare people into settling by using the drawn out cost of lawsuits, long waiting times for trials(not getting out on bail until trial), etc. Since many people would rather take an average to low sentence from theft rather than risking minium sentencing from armed robbery, or would rather take a low offer from the defendant as settlement instead of waiting years for anything while spending a lot.
No.
Polar bears are one of the few mammals in which “most” of them see humans purely as food. While many other large carnivores are often more careful around adult humans and don’t often go for them directly, unless very hungry, desperate or with offspring.
But it is not strict rule.
On top of that, mosquitos don’t eat mammals in the way you’d think of a “food chain”, as they’re not trying kill their target, just take a small part. The deadly diseases are for them an unintended and actually unwanted side-effect, they want us alive so we’ll make more blood for them to reproduce.
He doesn’t actually have to do anything, some people are such fanboys they’ll do it without asking. Just because they can’t let people have something nice, or just to be trolls.
There’s no need to be mean to get banned.
Just tweet about things like Tawian being a country, tag Japanese governemental accounts while bringing up the horrors of Ishii Shiro, defend children in Palestine, etc.
It’s called “locust capitalism” in some languages.
Since they literally just consume everything and move on to new things with zero regard for anything they affect after the fact.
It’s a strategy straight out of MBA textbooks: Once you’re above a certain size and have a large “common consumer” base, you kick out everyone who would complain about shitty practices and exploitative behaviour. Then you squeeze out all the money you can over a year or three before the rest realize and leave.
It’s fast ROI at the cost of customer retention and long term profits. And investors literally don’t care if the company goes bankrupt as long as they get that money. Because they’ll just move on to the next company and do the same thing all over.
They’re animals, so no.

There are some hints towards the Inca eating llama cheese, but nothing confirmed as far as I know.
And there is nothing to show regular consumption of animal milk or related products in north america before the europeans arrived.
The modern version of a pizza is sometimes said to have been invented in the late 1800s, since that is when the first “proper” recipe is from. But there are a few key points that might inform your question and other answers:
Flat bread baked with toppings already on it has been a thing for several thousand years across the world.
Among which was a type of street food referred to as pizza in Italy before the Tomato arrived in europe
Tomato is from the Americas, it wasn’t known and didn’t exist in europe until the mid 1500s.
On its own a fresh tomato is not very nurishing compared with other common fruits and vegetables, and since toxic versions exisited, it was mostly used as table decoration in places like Italy for a while.
The first mention of tomatoes as an ingredient in an Italian cookbook is from 1692. And it wasn’t widely adopted as a staple food until the 1700s.
There are descriptions from the mid 1800s talking about the wide variety of pizza toppings, as it was already an established food by that point.

Depends on the situation and what you want to achieve.
For example cold and warm showers both have different benefits after a hard workout.
Warm water is better for muscle relaxation, reduced stuffy airways, etc. and is shown to let people fall asleep more easily when done shortly before bed.
Cold showers after intense workouts can help reduce muscle inflammation and improve recovery time.
And on the list goes.
If you shower in the morning or during the day, take a warm shower and end with 1-2min of really cold water. It’s been shown that you don’t really need more than that to trigger a little stress response from the body wich will wake you up, help boost your immune system and can improve blood circulation.
(In general do not take cold showers if you have chronic respiratory issues or you’re already sick)
Depends on the cat.
Some hate it, others like being lifted but no belly rubs, some cats straight up like to be carried around cradeled like a human baby while getting belly scratches.
But in cats often don’t like being pet one single way for an extended period of time or in general be overstimulated. You have to switch it up or they might become “playfully” aggressive to make you stop, and actually aggressive if you don’t.
Odysee is an alternative in the same way that parler is technically an alternative to twitter.
But most sane people stay far away.
