Watched the Lion King as a five year old and the stampede scene stuck out to me. The next day at daycare I bit the teachers ass in the same way the hyenas tried to bite the Cape Buffalo’s tail.
They pride themselves on being well-learned and good at debate, but then you actually make an effort to do so in good faith and they respond in mass downvotes and petty insults. I’ve reached a point where I just respond with beneath-the-belt insults that they respond to by reporting me for bullying lmao
From a fake nurse to a phony list of hostage guards, Israel’s disinformation efforts are becoming increasingly wild just as they lose control of the Gaza war narrative....
Their failure will probably result in all social media becoming increasingly monitored and censored. The same people that call China evil for its great firewall now want their own firewall to avoid having to see anything painting Israel in a bad light.
When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that’s also very...
This came out of nowhere. I think everybody was expecting Dreamworks to make it with the “How To Train Your Dragon Team.” This is such a stepdown from that and my hopes aren’t high if this guy’s only bragging rights are that God awful Uncharted movie.

It seems that I could only find about 18 countries with mandates. That hardly accounts for most of them. There have been an increasing effort to make them but that doesn’t really show that fossil fuel companies are in a losing battle. If anything, they’ve gone up.
I don’t see how the conspiracy, which is what is is, has anything to do with government overreach and digital currencies. The conspiracies usually go into weird territory about being cut off from using your car or similar nonsense. Creating a walkable city is really very easy to do once you weed out the political roadblocks, which is of course much easier said than done. The end result wouldn’t be limiting people’s movement. If anything it would be expanding it when done right.
You do have a point that it can be nearly impossible depending on the country or the city and how much of a grip corporate interests have. My own country has done pretty well with what you might call “15 minute cities.” It probably helps that local government or the cities that built the way they are don’t have a strong multinational presence in them.
It’s alway funny when a Brit gets really mad at any non-Brit discussing politics and says, “it’s not like the US!” Idk their politicians seem to be trying pretty damn hard to ape whatever the Dems and Republicans are doing.
Brits will do this to themselves and then in 10-20 years complain about how they have no friends or significant other because it’s hard to meet people. All while continuing to vote for people like this.
Rural Guatemala and it’s mostly done through mobile doctors because it’s so remote. We have universal healthcare on paper but the government spends so little on it that the resources are awful and private care tends to be a lot better and trustworthy.
I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before....
It seems like people are scared of silence after being raised on constant stimulation. They go everywhere with airpods and then blast the music when those aren’t enough. Even nature trails aren’t enough anymore because there’s always some asshole blasting their music.
They never really stopped bitching about Japan until China’s economy blew up. It’ll be all about China until some other country joins the 10+ trillion GDP club.
German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia....
Just shows how green capitalism is just a waste of time. You’d think a country as geographically small and vulnerable as Germany would take this into account but guess not.
