They’re not shutting it down because they don’t want to pay for it. They’re shutting it down because it’s created the longest-running record of atmospheric CO2 levels, and climate facts hurt oligarchs’ feelings.
They’re not gonna let anybody else operate it either, regardless of funding.
Never mind the bird; everything else about this is fucking ridiculous! I’m talking about both the concept of sending the waste to be composted that far to begin with, and doing do in a truck instead of a train. It’s stupidity2.
I’m surprised there aren’t massive protests scheduled for July 4.
The real welfare queens.
So… people’s vocabulary is getting improved?
Of all the criticism of generative AI (and don’t get me wrong: I agree with most of it), this is the least compelling, IMO.
Okay, fine: he tried to be counterproductive and still managed to fail at it.
I’m contemplating making a sign for my bike trailer that says “IF YOU ARE ANNOYED I’M HERE, TELL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO BUILD A BIKE PATH”
I’ve been thinking about doing similar for a long time, but I’m worried it would trigger more road rage.
That’s conceptually just such a crock of shit anyway. It’s fucking ridiculous reporting on the rate of change of a rate of change in order to distract/obfuscate from the actual amount of the quantity being measured.
What you’re doing is white-knighting for the gestapo. That’s weird.
Quit trying ‘to be fair’ towards thugs who absolutely give zero shits about being fair to you.
To be clear: I’m not saying you aren’t factually correct. I’m saying that, in the Thunderdome of public sentiment, that sort of comment comes across as excusing fascism and that’s why people are rightfully getting pissed off at you for making it.
“Longtime party insiders” whining about him is how you can tell he’s good.
He"s using synecdoche, saying “DNC” when he means “the majority of prominent Democrats.” You’re speaking specifically about the actual DNC. That’s why you’re disagreeing even though you’re both right.
Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.
Because back in the day when blatant sexism was the norm, women were excluded. Women-only tournaments were an attempt to correct that.
In a perfect world, everybody would play in the same tournaments and all genders would feel equally welcome to them, but that’s not the world we live in.
Congratulations, dipshit [Schumer, not OP], you’ve done something perfectly counterproductive by (a) making it sound like (presumably) something that’s less of a blatant Orwellian farce that turned people against it just because of the name, and (b) creating confusion that makes it harder to organize against it because now there are two different names out there.
Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.
If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.
Okay, fine: to the extent that a non-genocide position existed, Harris was it.
But the real point is that even if a person disagrees with you about that, they still should’ve voted for Harris. She was at least objectively not more genocidal than Trump, and infinitely better on basically every other issue.
Why isn’t Lisa Tate being arrested for labor law violations?
I’ll be honest: I haven’t made it past (or even to the end of) that episode either. I’ve tried a couple of times, but end up stopping after a few minutes just from the sheer cringe.
And I really like the rest of the show, to the point where I don’t want to skip any episodes, but that one I really ought to skip.
