Sexual objectification does not erase the perceived humanity of OnlyFans creators, study suggests

People who sell explicit digital content online are heavily sexually objectified by observers, yet they are still viewed as capable individuals with free will. These findings challenge traditional psy...

If you have nitro or got nitro again after the last time they pulled this. It's now or never. You *need* to cancel it. If you don't want age verification then you need to stop giving them your money. Send messaged in to their support pages too. It all helps.

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

A case for free and fair elections

Big Tech knows what its algorithms are doing. Australia should too

Australia’s public sphere is increasingly shaped by privately controlled algorithms, yet researchers and regulators still lack the independent access needed to see how those systems work.

House prices are falling. Now we’ll find out who really wants affordability

Australia cannot make housing more affordable while protecting homeowners from falling prices. The current downturn may reveal how serious politicians really are about fixing the system.

The "solar" lambs also had less water stress than their traditional pasture counterparts. Net grazing returns from the two fields were comparable. What tips the scales further is that the field with solar panels also generated clean, renewable power. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 news.oregonstate.edu/news/combini...

Combining solar panels and lamb grazing increases land productivity, study finds | Newsroom

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Land productivity could be greatly increased by combining sheep grazing and solar energy production on the same land, according to new research by Oregon State University scientists.

While the grass growing in the shade was less dense, it was of higher quality. As a result, lambs grown in the shade of the PV systems gained the same amount of weight statistically speaking as the traditional lambs. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 spacedaily.com/b-lambs-graz...

Lambs grazing under an Oregon solar farm had 38 percent less grass in front of them than lambs in the open field alongside, and they put on the same weight to the gram, because shade makes a pasture g...

Shade-grown pasture delivers less grass but the same nutrition, suggesting solar farms might have a second life as livestock habitat.
