Yeah I hope this bites them.

He promised he would to the Libertarian Party for their votes, at a major Libertarian rally/meeting which he was the VIP guest of before the election.

What’s really shocking is that he actually followed through on his promise.

Weird that this was their big ask, though: pardon the international darkweb drug website guy, because freedom means I put whatever I like in my body with no regulations; be that a fairly harmless bag of weed or deadly research drugs from China or Russia. Why not, say… Federal legalisation of weed? Or something else that would benefit them all in their lives…

Nope:

That was definitely impactful, but I can’t blame gore for that failing, it was a coup subverting democracy.

The judges that helped Bush secure the win were also permanently enshrined in the US’s broken legal system: John Roberts, Brett Cavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett.

First off fuck Trey Parker and Matt Stone for their dumb take on it at the time, climate change is real and I agree with An Inconvenient truth for the most part (one lake he highlighted as drying up in the US was actually drained by intensive agriculture wells - everything else accurate). But his biggest failing was setting up a carbon trading company literally at the same time he was telling everyone climate change was real, and that the best measure to deal with it was governments setting up carbon trading.

Of course as soon as people whom are wary of this huge claim learn that he has a profit motive, then they’re going to suspect he is only trying to line his own pockets.

All he had to do was spread the message and not be greedy, but he couldnt help himself.

Get rekt bozo

It references Waymo’s public statement in the article. The article is the webpage that is linked by OP. You can read it if you click the link, and you can see the quote for yourself.

Ah yes, local strays get tagged and collared and have bells. They also have their ‘family’ members who run the bodega they live out of get upset when other people start memecoins to exploit the situation when they are not family. Stray is mentioned nowhere in the article - and yet if fits your narrative so you try to jam the square peg in the round hole.

I’m done talking to this particular brick wall. 🚫

My quote is from the linked article.

Doubling down and re-stating your claims again as fact won’t make reality change.

I read Freakonomics, it was a gift. It was… pretty bad, oversimplified and constant correlation-causation flaws. But I’m not an economist or statistician so I dismissed it as just some pop culture thing I wasn’t into. Bailed half-way.

Many years later, I saw this video from Unlearning Economics which does a massive deep dive into the Freakonomics writers and books… and it’s much worse than I though.

I highly recommend a watch (maybe on 1.5 speed) before recommending Freakonomics has anything valuable to share.

The linked article, like the person claimed.

“We send our deepest sympathies to the cat’s owner and the community who knew and loved him"

Picture of cat shows a collar, tag, and bell. It’s a pet.

I mean… A large percentage of NFTs now link to nothing. Dead URLs. So the bored ape bros should actually be on the side of digital preservation & Stop Killing Games.

But considering 96% of NFTs are now dead projects worth nothing, the bored ape bros probably just want to forget about the whole thing and move onto the next get rich quick scheme.

One yank’s ‘infested’ is the rest of the world’s ‘appropriately proportioned’.

Same.

Also, for the zoomers who might not get your reference to the mighty KLF:

Ngl all of those things help (as long as the meth is prescribed).

Better idea: delete your Twitter passkey altogether, and leave the stupid site.

I disagree, the League of Nations was set up after WW1 with the specific aim of preventing another world war, their stated mission was to “maintain world peace”.

The League of Nations was absorbed into the United Nations, disbanding entirely in 1946, and the primary United Nations stated mission is again to “maintain world peace”.

So its specifically been created as a reaction to World War 2, and its forebear in reaction to WW2 - its goal has always been to maintain peace and prevent wars.

Its entirely fair for presidents/world leaders to call it out as increasingly ineffective in that goal, especially considering one of its founding ‘four powers’ (Russia, who maintains the membership powers of former USSR) is in the midst of a two year war of aggression with a neighbouring country. And two of the other founding powers (US and China) are frequently provoking war by attacking their neighbours. Their core mission is in shambles.

Yeah, I blocked em because it was too annoying trying to parse their posts - and the comments weren’t very contributory anyway

Remember that scene in Inglorious Basterds where they lock the cinema full of Nazi officers and set it on fire?

Cool scene, just thought I’d bring it up.

Yeah I remember when I finished university in Australia and they asked us to pledge allegiance to the ruling party in a loyalty oath before anyone could graduate.

Wait… no i don’t because that never happened, and this is an obvious false equivalence between the west and China.

Yes, but meat demands are also deforesting huge swathes of land all over the world. Then, instead of forest that are carbon-negative you get pastoral lands and cattle that are carbon-positive.

Brazil’s deforestation is the world’s most extreme. It is at a point now (due to deforestation and livestock) where the Amazon rainforest is no longer a carbon sink and now emits more greenhouse gasea than it absorbs.
