It was the other way around, Philip was trying to conquer Greece and he figured sending a threatening letter to Sparta might be enough, since at that point they were about powerless.

So the invasion was always planned and the courtesy of the answer didn’t matter.

This is interesting but not really justified historically. Celsius predates the concept of absolute zero, and water is very important to our world, not just ourselves.

You think people shouldn’t be allowed to… file lawsuits? This is all that has happened so far, there is no court decision yet.

Restreindre le droit de vote ça me paraît un symbole terrible, ok la démocratie représentative c’est pas parfait mais au moins “à chacun sa voix” est un point de repère simple.

Si on abandonne ce principe ça pose la question de qui est “le peuple”, de qui répond à cette question… Un remède pire que le mal à mon avis.

People who are pro choice might still choose to have children.

People don’t necessarily inherit the political opinions of their parents, and can change their outlook over time.

People can spread their ideas through other methods than reproduction, such as debate, educating other people’s children, or sharing their opinion on Lemmy.

The game also supports NVIDIA Reflex technology, but Unlike Anti-Lag+ which works on a driver level, Reflex is incorporated into the game itself.

This shows how Nvidia’s size and money allow it to improve its market position without necessarily having better tech. They may sign deals with game developers to implement Nvidia-exclusive features rather than have to tamper with DLLs and such.

War isn’t inevitable. Back in the cold war it was averted multiple times, and the USSR had a much more closed economy than China’s. China going to war with NATO would lose them all their largest trading partners.

Even going as far as calling her husband an asshole (might be true, I’m not married to the dude).

You misunderstood the text, the sentence is :

If only I got a penny for every time someone said: you don’t look like a computer scientist, I could be Mackenzie Scott without having to marry an asshole.

She’s calling Jeff Bezos an asshole, not her own husband.

First, what makes you think we can? It’s a strong claim to put forth without evidence.

Second, I won’t be there in the future, so I’d like things not get too bad in the meantime.
