Seems like they're banned in several countries and by several providers: https://web.archive.org/web/20250531154905/https://catbox.moe/faq.php

My apologies to Catbox, I thought they were requiring cookies or cross-site-scripting

To disable it (for now):

  1. at the top left tap the 3 horizontal lines,
  2. near the bottom tap "Settings",
  3. tap your account,
  4. scroll to the middle and unselect "Smart features".
  5. Consider moving over to a non-psychotic, non-fascist-supporting email provider, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuta_(email)

Anyone know how to get rid of the Gemini icons?

Scientists didn't become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.

When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn't big enough to clear), they realized it wasn't a planet.

When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn't a planet.

Am I having a stroke, or are the photos of the people in that article something you'd expect from a broken AI clickbait site, rather than an article by a public service broadcaster?

Factory farming for the vast majority of chickens, is life-long enslavement in torturous conditions.

Hundreds of billions of non-aquatic animals are enslaved by factory farmers every year.

Trillions of fish are enslaved in factory farms every single year.

Only Yesterday is my favorite by far. If Grave of the Fireflies didn't have the supernatural/Deus-ex-machina/genre whiplash scenes at the end, it would've been my favorite, but that ending ruins the movie for me.

What religion are they? The opposite-of-what-Jesus-taught religion?

According to Sayidina:

66.2% of these were high school students (349), 
30.9% middle school students (163), 
02.8% elementary school students (15).

Causes cited (multiple causes means these total to more than 100%):

349 Academic struggles, concerns about future paths.
284 Mental health issues, e.g. depression, 
148 family-related problems. e.g. conflicts with parents.

This is from a non-paywalled older article from 2025-01 which gives the total of school-aged children's suicides in Japan in 2024 at an all-time high of 527 (the 2 more in the newer article probably corrects cases incorrectly classified before).

"A notable increase was observed among female middle and high school students"

"In 2024, the number of suicides [for all ages] in Japan totaled 20,268, marking a decrease of 1,569 from the previous year and reaching the second-lowest level since records began in 1978."
