Hey @bookingcom, I am trying to resolve a duplicate charge for a rental car and your idea of customer service is to reply to my emails detailing the issue with email after email asking me to detail the issue? How do I get in touch with a sentient being directly?

Това да твърдиш че проблем с взаимоотношенията между хората не трябва да се разглежда на базата на взаимоотношенията между хората защото социално инжинерство / identity politics е като да трупаш кофи под теча и да обясняваш как няма нужда от майстор за покрива
Как ще помогне Конвенцията с факти: задължава държавата да създава убежища; да изплаща обезщетения на жертви; да носи отговорност за бездействието си; да взема предвид присъди от др. страни; преследване на насилника независимо дали жертвата е подала тъжба https://t.co/nIfUplbF15

Fantastic piece on language, meaning, and AI. Also, perfect illustration why diversity in tech matters: diversity in ideas (humanities vs programming), in gender, in culture.
This morning—thanks to contributing editor extraordinaire @jsomers—we have a piece by *Douglas Hofstadter* in @TheAtlantic

Good morning! I wrote a happy news story! (Turns out there’s even *more* to love about the bears healed by fish skin)

The story of California's rescued bears isn't just heartwarming. It's the beginning of a new way to think about burn treatment.

Eating sustainably is about a varied, seasonal, and reasonably local diet - not just less meat. It’s also more fun to do than avo toasts all the time
There is a lot of moral posturing about food at the moment - about nine tenths of it is ill informed nonsense

Here we are, Lord, ashamed of what humanity, made in your image and likeness, is capable of doing. Remember us in your mercy.
