Oh no, some horrific start-up is going to raise a billion dollars to deal with this in our lifetimes

What would happen if you put a Big Light in a hotel room ceiling? Would the world end?

... That threatening to kill dozens of people by burning down hotels gets you a serving minister on television saying "we hear your concerns"? Or were Just Stop Oil making a big mistake by only engaging in symbolic protest rather than destroying things and endangering human beings? Or ...

Spotted today in the wild: cybertruck (1st), bald eagle (5-ishth), moose (seen hundreds) and black bear (1st). Canada keeps delivering.

I mean it wasn’t bad, just like IKEA meatballs aren’t bad, it’s just very clearly not what people have in mind when they rave about it

Yep holidaying in the Rockies and BC

Had poutine for the very first time, in an extremely tired café attached to a tourist trap. I guess the equivalent experience would be trying Swedish meatballs for the very first time in IKEA.

Beautifully formulated to be quoted as clickbait, but also: endorsed

Such a positive thread. I would add Wikipedia > enormously expensive and out of date encyclopaedias

True! My can’t-be-arsed threshold and the quality of non-iron shirts have finally met. It does not fill me with joy, but as stated I just can’t be arsed

It is unclear what the red button that just says MAX does, but I bet it’s good

What, no, it’s just the sheer amount of oil chorizo can sweat and then cook in. This is not refined , sometimes fat just wins

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.

Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.

As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

just logged on, and every post I open to read replies is like opening a door to find a clown class fighting a pack of raccoons

like, I don’t have anything to add here because they are all coming from different angles and none of them make any sense!

I see we have descended to all out war over cooking and eating today

I don’t know how to explain this other than by using the crude categories we relied on in our politically incorrect youth, but prompting ”Yes/Maybe Later” is psycho bitch behaviour

Feed is currently very heavy on ”look I found someone saying something incredibly stupid on the internet!”

This is not noteworthy! There are idiots everywhere! What you have found is not interesting to a wider audience, and quite honestly it shouldn’t be interesting to you either!

Karate Kid, och jag tror det finns material till en uppsats här för det kan ju knappast ha varit avsiktligt

Always my approach, too, and prepared me beautifully for a career in investment management: clever tricks to protect against drawdowns is a waste of time, the best protection against losses is simply to make more profits

This thread is a work of art (suspiciously located on the wall that the main sofa faces)

Imagine incurring the costs to rewire your entire market infrastructure to chase the degenerate retail trader flow

b) boy oh boy do my children eat like spoiled royal offspring in Versailles, with a healthy mix of fresh berries and fruit available to the daily, all year round

I have indeterminate but strong feelings about this, having grown up in a poor family that picked and froze tons of berries: a) will never shake the feeling that buying little punnets of fresh berries in the shop is outrageously decadent ruined city dweller type behaviour, and b

It feels like nobody understands that at college you take actual classes with actual topics. Conservatives think every class is "Marxist Theory and How to Overthrow the State" and a lot of other people think they're all "Job Skills for Jobbing" but they're usually things like "Russian Literature."
