  • The amount of it in our environment has been ever increasing though. There's more of it in the oceans, the soil, the rivers, the plants. The whole food chain and ecosystems are contaminated more than ever before.

  • The idea that the actions of world powers are in any way governed by morality is largely a myth. Politicians will try to twist reality and use morality to justify killing people abroad and sometimes morality does align with their interests by coincidence.

    But the motivations are always about furthering financial and strategic interests. See the overthrow of the Iranian regime in 1953 to protect oil interests, CIA coups and supporting murderous dictators in countless South American and other countries around the world, the recent Iraq war etc. If a government gets elected somewhere that would threaten our business interests (by taxing or nationalising them for example), we have historically supported bloody coups to remove them and install murderous facist regimes that enable us to keep making money at the cost of countless innocent lives.

    Strategic in the sense that we prevent other powers in a region from becoming strong enough to challenge us. Keeping ourselves on top and in charge by keeping others down. Israel is a valuable ally in this regard - they maintain power in the region by keeping others down and keep them focused more on destroying Israel than attacking us.

    Palestinian lives aren't important to our governments. They have no real power and there's no real profit to be made from them. Our strategic interest in supporting Israel will always trump any humanitarian interest in preventing genocide.

  • The BBC isn't booking anyone they're just covering Glastonbury festival.

  • What are you talking about bad voice acting? DX:MD was all serious and professional but it lacked the comic charm of lines like "A bomb's a bad choice for close range combat".

  • I would interpret this to mean that your 15 minute break is now a 30 minute break.

  • In the end the RAF are the ones supplying and supporting the terrorist Israeli regime.

  • You forgot the step where they invent a logo that looks almost the same as the recyclable logo and stick it on all plastics but it doesnt mean its recyclable but instead just says what kind of plastic it is.

  • It is absolutely possible to drink an excessive amount through beer alone.

  • Does this work to prevent Windows from fucking your bootloader in all cases? Also I dont quite get the importance of step 4?

  • How does it perform in gaming?

  • Why can't they just write the Necronomicon and be done with mortal matters?

  • Agree. 5 was a fun spectacle but the character switching really was ass, and playing as V it felt like the winning strategy was just buttonmashing. Still was very happy it got made after DMC.

  • When I visited one part of China I was looking for a big bottle of water to keep in my hotel room and went to the local store. I found a big 5L plastic bottle but when I looked at the label I realised it was Baijiu, not water. Something like 57% ABV, and it cost the equivalent of a few US dollars.

  • Don't those things literally have a bus variant though?

  • That X1950 pro and Core 2 Duo are pretty awesome if the year is 2007. 5400rpm HDD lets it down a bit though.

  • If your employer is paying you the bare minimum, then you're the sucker if you're putting in more than the bare minimum of effort.

    Sure, if you work really hard you might get some recognition in the form of a thank you and perhaps a gift worth less than $50. If you do it for long enough you might get a promotion and a pay rise - but you'll still be earning far less than the person they hired from outside to do the same job and you'll have worked much harder for it.

    In most companies, 99% of the benefit from you working hard goes to the owners. They don't give you any more than 1% because they don't have to.

  • What does it matter in the end? Russia doesn't say these bombers and only these bombers are for bombing Ukraine and if they get destroyed we'll stop bombing Ukraine even though we have other bombers available. They'll use whatever capacity they have, so any reduction in that capacity is a win.

  • I've known ket users, and I know how he got that black eye - he tried to walk across a room and fell over and hit his head.

  • "The levels were often above some drinking water limits"
