Monkey With A Shell

Or one could view it as regardless of efforts at future prevention, we still need to pick up from the past. If we stopped every scrap of plastic in production today that pile of junk would still be floating about for the next millennia.

Then when the 5th largest economy in the world decides they don’t feel like playing with you anymore you get to find out what a budget deficit really means.

He knows just how badly she was able to pull his strings and play him like a puppet. Time and time again. The bit with poking at his rallys was priceless to see.

People have done that for ages. Pic taken of the screen with another device, try and block that now. Basic rule, if you send it out assume it’s no longer private.

One of the few places it could be posted on Lemmy without being down voted to the abyss, but only because it can’t be.

Per household or purchasing body (as in a store or restaurant) I have my doubts. Never in my life have I dumped 3 dozen perfectly edible sandwiches in the trash on any given day.

There are a lot more households than there are stores or restaurants so in aggregate total homes may make for a greater sum, but that’s the same kind of logic they use to say people need to all switch to paper straws and forgo the AC in summer while the rich fly about in personal jets and rockets for a joyride.

Probably the biggest factor compared to something like Tile chips is that it’s embedded into the OS rather than an app. You can turn it off, but you can bet that a letter from the right person can compel Google to turn it back on.

Zuckerberg wrote that the censored content included humor and satire, and that administration officials “expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.”

It does, but given what it is they’re griping about being censored you can bet it was a lot of anti-vax/covid is a joke stuff. People trying to promote vaccination don’t tend to make jokes about it.

Dammit, I was stuck thinking of the stuff in a petri dish.

Anything specific to say they forced others not to run? The whole bit of others dropping out and endorsing happens regularly. Happened on the R side too. Bernie didn’t get nominated because not enough people showed up to vote at the end of the day. Having dedicated fans and lots of youth energy means nothing unless the vote count says what you want when it’s over.

I get the potential gripe, but realistically it’s hard to call it undemocratic even as it stands. People voted for an incumbent (essentially unopposed) ticket of Biden/Harris. Had Biden simply dropped dead this would have been the very same result. We just skipped the whole death part and moved on to the natural line of succession. Besides, how many times have we had a VP become pres or at least the candidate in the past few decades? Better than half since the 70s if I count correctly.

An interesting idea, but I doubt the TV folks go for it. You would have events taking much longer and need more cameras or crazy distant shots to show the presumed gap they would have. Just be a pain to show.

Sounds like no GOG then? If they’re doing DRM free that would seem a natural fit.

A reasonable research priority, if society and business refuse to act on climate matters, at the very least academia’s coffee rituals must not be disrupted.

I might suggest directing searches towards a low acidity variant as conducive to preparing cold brew as another adaption to new norms.

If those people can look at Trump’s record and be fine with it, I don’t suspect the ethics of one’s work as a DA are going to be the deciding factor.

I’m not sure why there’s the need to rebrand confidence to the term dominance…

These are two quite distinct things. The former presents a self-assured certainty in your position, the latter is more aimed at a willingness to call out another on the wrongness of theirs. It’s a tough role to play when the positions of any given constituent and legislator are so entrenched, but necessary. It’s a bit like the comics of the type where you have one side saying ‘kill all X’ and the other saying ‘protect X lives’ and it’s somehow a compromise to only kill a few X…

And nobody cares that Trump is just a couple years younger… plus you know all the autocratic/dictator tendencies thing.

Wildfires happen, it’s hardly a man made action but rather a part of the baseline that we measure our own actions against. The additional amounts added by our actions are the piece we have control of and accountability for.

Never used don’t care really but:

users can also force touch a post in order to open a menu with more options.

Their terminology needs some work, force touching is not ok…
