Don’t Call Me a Pessimist on Climate Change. I Am a Realist.
Same. The so-called pessismists have all turned out to be too optimistic, including me. Things are getting worse faster than I thought they would. People have no idea how much the world is going to change in the next 50 years, but it’s a massive amount just by force of necessity.
8 cities that are making it easier to go vegan.
The propaganda is now non-stop. See it in every outlet and multiple times a day.
Going vegan to make sure the plutes have everything, all supported by the “progressives.” Good times.
I have gained 3 inches on my chest since I started working out a year ago — a big reason so many of my clothes no longer fit.
That was a lot of hard work.

Fucking Christ. The progressives won’t be happy until everyone is a malnourished urchin freezing their ass off in a pod, prostrate before whatever plutocrat is closest.
I wonder how much dye it was take to turn Jupiter pink or blue for a gender reveal party?
I’d have to think about this, but I bet that there are some non-dye chemical reactions you could use, given Jupiter’s composition, to get one or both of those colors more easily. Hmmm, more research is required. Might be able to reduce the dye (or whatever) needed from 10^12 tons to something more manageable like 10^8.
The only positive thing that can be said about Obama is that he was not as bad a president as George W. Bush. I think in a lot of ways Obama was more craven and calculating than his predecessor. Doesn’t matter, though, because George W. was responsible for the vast human cataclysm that was the Iraq war, and that makes Obama look good by comparison.
Do the so-called progressives truly not realize that attempting to ban all workplace romance, all normal human relations, all natural interactions, is only going to serve to exclude women in the workplace, rather than make it more inclusive? How is this not completely obvious?
But, as someone else pointed out a bit ago, progs are all about rules and contracts these days, even ones that have no hope at all of ever working, and in fact will harm the very people they think they are helping.
Was just thinking that a planet in a similar orbital position to Earth but with less axial tilt, more mountain ranges and not as much ocean extent would probably have much more diversity of life than this planet.
It’s a clever trick software vendors and OS makers have played on us where we’re told we must always update immediately for “security” reasons, and then they use this false imperative to push destructive, user-harmful, malware-filled updates at us that disable needed functionality, pilfer ever more data, and generally regress interfaces to the 1980s.
All are guilty, but the worst offenders are Microsoft with Windows, Mozilla with Firefox, and Alphabet with Android.
After watching the fight choreography, editing and cinematography in Atomic Blonde, fights in other movies and TV shows just seem kind of sad and pointless.
I have this same problem with Microsoft Office on Mac and Windows.
By far my least favorite issue is the constant battle I have with locale – I’m not sure if the document creators local was set to EN-US or if my system config is not correct, but every time I try and force the document to EN-AU it seems to switch back seemingly on a per-section basis or something.
If I type in French, even if I type no English and paste nothing into the document, certain sections seemingly randomly switch to English thus putting damn red squiggles under nearly all my French words.
I don’t understand how this can work so poorly. If I say the document is in French, I mean it and I mean it for the whole document. I continue to mean it even if I do type one apparently (to MS Office) English word.
Google wants to kill URLs and HTTP, among other things, so they can control the web. It’s not surprising but what does bother me is just how many people buy their propaganda without a second thought. It is because many who do work for Google are smart that the company can get away with such nonsense.
Google is like a very erudite mugger. I could expound for hours on why it’s a good for society, for the world, for the very future of civilization, even, that you hand your wallet over to me forthwith. I could regale you with tales of the glories of voluntary redistribution, the thoughts of St. Louise de Marillac on the value of charity, quote Ecclesiastes on the futility of wealth, and I’d have you believing you owed me your wallet and your fealty if you let me bloviate on long enough.
That I can toss out so much knowledge and am well-spoken doesn’t mean what I am saying isn’t absolute horseshit. The same is true of Google and the statements of their apologists and propagandists. That they can summon a well-polished argument doesn’t make it true. It just means they went to schools that trained them to sell BS by the word.
But it works and they are going to win — some well-dressed, eloquent muggers will walk away with all our wallets.
Which words have the progressives banned today? Aw, who gives a fuck. They seem to pick a new one about every day, and it’s just too tiresome to keep track of them all.
This story is good, but Neptune is not really very dense.
Neither can Neptune be the answer since the bodies aren’t close enough to the dense, blue giant.
The density of Neptune is 1.64 gr/cm3 while the density of earth is 5.51 gr/cm3. Neptune is denser than water, but our planet is roughly four times as dense as that distant blue marble.
Neptune is denser than Jupiter and Saturn, though. In fact, the density of Saturn is 0.687 gr/cm3, so it’s the only one of the gas/ice giant planets that’d float in a bathtub, if you had a really damn big bathtub. (Water’s density is 1 gr/cm3.)
Neptune’s gravity is only about 14% stronger than Earth’s, so if it had a surface to stand on you’d barely be able to tell the difference.
