Anyways I work in tech so I'm forced to be up to date on it :/

I didn’t understand the post either. I appreciate your sacrifice. 🫡

The reforms would relax the rules of the bloc's emissions trading system (ETS) to give businesses more time to reduce their carbon output than previously planned.

WE DON’T HAVE MORE TIME. THE TIMETABLE WAS TOO LONG ALREADY.

We are SO fucked, and will continue to be fucked as long as the decisions are made by people who will be dead before things get really bad.

I heard that in Jimmy Buffet’s voice and everything. Nice.

Thanks. Not replacing him was an odd choice, though.

I haven’t watched the Simpsons in SOOOOO long. They really benched Apu?

Watching him actually show some emotion was the funniest part. Plus, Hegseth might actually know where the quote comes from, since it was a revered Republican.

An American calling Le Pen “France’s last hope” might cause some Le Pen supporters to reconsider

I love absurd news articles where the journalist feels the need to proclaim “I am not making any of this up.”

I’m surprised that was even allowed on a photo caption. The rest of the article seems appropriately respectful.

Virtually all societies, past and present, have some form of genocide/slavery/discrimination in their past (or present). Humans can be nightmarishly terrible to one another. To me, it seems like the best we can do with such a bloody legacy is to acknowledge it, accept it, make a sincere apology to any survivors (or their descendants), and learn not to let it happen again.

We can’t even get the “acknowledge” part right, so this is gonna take a while.

Edit: I try to be a reasonable, just, and empathetic person, but I do make mistakes. I’m open to discussion. If someone could explain the downvotes, I’d appreciate it.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
