while you were fighting over epstein and TMZ tier shit, they just pushed forward eighteen bills to "protect minors online" (because companies like roblox won't do their job either)

funny that windows 11 is the breaking point for everyone, as if windows 10 didn't ship with added telemetry, cortana and ads in the start menu.

Okay. The announcement of a new Ace Combat game automatically made the game awards worth it.

If the US doesn't respect international law and illegally seizes foreign vessels in international waters like the recent Venezuela oil tanker seizure why should US citizens respect US law?

The answer is simple: We shouldn't. Respect is something that is earned, not blindly given and the US hasn't earned that respect.

Under international law, the United States' unilateral seizure of foreign-flagged vessels in international waters—particularly for enforcing sanctions—is a clear violation of established international treaties and laws.

International law, including the 1958 Convention on the High Seas and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), prohibits states from boarding or seizing foreign vessels on the high seas except in specific, narrowly defined circumstances which include: Hot pursuit from a state’s territorial waters, piracy, slave trade, and disturbingly illegal broadcasting.

_What Colleges Taught Gen-Z Is Getting Them Fired_

FTA: Seventy-five percent of companies reported that some or all of the recent college graduates they hired were unsatisfactory. According to the same survey, over half of businesses hiring Gen-Z employees believed these young professionals lacked motivation, communication skills, and readiness for the workforce. Many who hadn’t already fired recent graduates they hired this summer said they’d seen enough to avoid hiring from next year’s cohort.

Such reports invite skepticism; older generations have always criticized the younger for perceived shortcomings. It’s not uncommon for aging generations to despair of those who follow them. Poor work ethic and reliance on technology are the usual culprits. In Ancient Greece, teachers at Aristotle’s Lyceum supposedly complained of the slowest and dullest students resorting to writing things down on parchments (taking notes) because they couldn’t be bothered to use their brains.

But the modern culture clash is likely to be acute: corporate norms bear little resemblance to the post-pandemic campus culture from which young people are emerging. But this isn’t just a story of generational tension. It’s a direct reflection of the US university system — and its failure.

Business leaders complain that recent graduates are unable to work independently, lack motivation and problem-solving abilities, and are easily offended.
