This would not have been so humorous a few years ago. But, things got worse, now it is relatable and almost true.

So. I tried to imagine things not so funny now that might make me laugh later. And that was not nice to think about at all.

But the future is set by all of us. Today, I set in motion a series of events by killing a caterpillar when removing a tree.

130 million years from now, a future interstellar race that evolve from the butterflies will lose the war for the earth.

Oops

Not in my backyard! Over there is ok

I gained a few pounds, but I’m still in shock over the weight gains I seen since the 1970s.

I guess the only way to describe it to younger people who did not see it, is to imagine most people today putting in an extra 200 pounds on top of what they weigh now.

That is the same ratio of weight increase I saw over the last 50 years

The article itself is decent but that headline lol

It’s about a Bronze Age site in France built on top of an earlier Neolithic settlement: this is not uncommon by itself. The quote by an archaeologist was taken out of context

I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.

But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.

In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.

If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.

The current ftc doing something constructive?

Most likely situation is that this will not happen now, or years from now

Yes, but like many things, have to remove ignored laws before breaking other norms.

This is paving the way for churches to be part of militia groups

(Tax free armed groups openly sponsored by large churches)

Ha, I should be so lucky

That would be a problem in counties that have those laws. The USA will not be among those soon, at least not for all people

The smart money is on a gradual decline of American environmental protections and regulations throughout the next generation

Boooo!

The gift that keeps on giving: people implicated by Epstein or the fallout to his murder are going to be delivering funny excuses, evasions and weak lies

While I think the mod is just doing regular mod stuff; that is an overly broad rule to justify it.

I think one can argue that excellence to our fellow beings would be a revolution that burns all those houses down!

They need an anti insurrection rule on that community, to fit with their plain, vanilla, safe guidelines

It will take a generation at least to cleanse but the reputational damage has been done.

Several generations, probably, hundreds of years, at least. A minority of Jews tore up something that cannot be regenerated easily, while true antisemitism lives on for as long as Christianity exists.

I can flip a coin to decide if any Nobel peace prize winner is an arse, and be correct more than not

My theory is that nano and microplastics accumulate differently in women due to fatty tissue differences , and this is somehow an intermediate step

Cars, roads, and car culture are inflicting harm though, even if it’s seen as a neutral tool by many

I think this would rely on community activism; in America today most activism is internet based, and not neighborhood oriented.

So, I think this has happened before, but not since the collapse of local community politics in the 1980s; but someone more knowledgeable of history could probably find examples from the 1970s and 1960s or earlier.

it’s a great idea and definitely could be used as a stop gap; and I hope to see it used later as community activism gets a reboot later.

But if it can work before then, that would be great

I don’t know, I always assumed the later branches evolved from the ones that survived inside empire the first 200 years. I could be wrong ?
