I like how we’ve gone from looking at the huge garbage patches in our oceans to the amount of microplastic in a drop of water. I don’t see it as a material issue, you pick a material and with enough quantity it will pollute. It is a consumer society issue. But maybe it will be easier to change consumer society by dangling the microplastic threat effect so the actual cause can be treated - wait, the psychopaths in CEO positions would lose money then, never mind.

The problem is the monopoly money is being used in a confidence game that’s being permitted by governments because all they see are more potentially taxable transactions and don’t give a shit about what this means for the longterm health of our societies.

It probably depends on your account. If they don’t think you are trying to game their system and you are a deep pocket consumer, they probably won’t put up too much of a fight, they’d rather keep you hooked.

Wait, so you got charged a year later after returning it? They only issue refunds when it has been sent back, so they are charging you for their own inventory mismanagement, or worse.

The Empire Strikes Back /runsaway

Those were simpler times, where some adults weren’t so insecure they could get offended by cross-dressing.

And then they killed all the Satyr plays because forced insecurities is a great way to make malleable societies upon which to build an empire to benefit the few.

This always ends up being the ending of any such sites. All you have to search for is “Glassdoor” and “sued” to see why.

Javascript? What’s that? I only know of ECMA-262-ECMAScript, rolls right off the tongue!

A VPN is just essentially a change in ISP.

Plenty of children movies appeal to both demographics. LTT’s most recent stream passed some good ideas around about what would have made a better movie.

It doesn’t surprise me. I live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% all of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now, even if it involves come bot casually stealing comments. 🙃

It’s about time, with the way things are going, the Vogon construction fleet can’t arrive fast enough. Unfortunately, they must have realized this making their naturally bureaucratic nature delay correspondingly.

I got one of these emails. It isn’t even MFA, nothing to reply with the code to. It doesn’t even say which Microsoft account, it sent it to my GMail recovery account. It’s so utterly bad not being able to trace the attempt to its source. It’s sus that I’m not the only one to have recently experienced this out of nowhere. Maybe it’s an attempt to farm valid Microsoft emails from the way this service behaves?

I love how your second quote literally and purposely leaves off the last part so you can fuel your argument better. Some people don’t need to be misinformed, they do it to themselves!

Overpopulation is not “anti-natalism”, overpopulation is literally a known and measured problem of biological populations, but some people like to make-believe that it doesn’t apply to humans. Cue “but population really is falling (except not really because we keep bringing immigration from places with lower quality of life and then complain when ours continues to be lowered)” when it itself is an indication that we are reaching the limits and yet are still trying to push past them.

As an aside, lol at new labels like “anti-natalism” showing up that stereotype arguments launched against them, it reminds me of how the GQP has adopted their “woke”-ness label just because it gave them a term to band things that had existed for ages under. I’m sure “antinatalism” will serve as well - not blaming you for it, just realized the term was being paraded around and that it will work out just about as well as “woke”.

Yes, I’m sure the consequences would be horrible if we stopped, but that’s the thing, being already in a shit load of trouble if you pull out is sort of a prerequisite of sunk cost fallacies.

It’s only encouraged because if people stop having children, it breaks the system, an utterly shit system which apparently can’t be fixed fast enough if people stop having children so we better go full speed ahead on a the most moronically large scale sunk cost calamity that is going to hit us like a brick wall along with all the other things piling up.

Wait a minute … does this mean Jesus was undead!? Of course, it all makes sense now!

⁴⁰ And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. ⁴¹ Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” ⁴² And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. ⁴³ And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat. ⁴⁴ Preferably brains.

No, no, you see, because she grew up as a Poo Person she now understand the world from their point and realizes how much they’ve been abused, so she pledges to lead and create a new society because it all turns out to have been a big misunderstanding. Then Poo People learn magitek and we get a sequel with the spin that now they are the oppressors, followed by a movie adaptation that completely ends up killing a cult classic.

That’s why I avoid eating meat and only stick to eating vegans.
