I mean, no? In case it wasn’t clear from the article, these are the people that voted for this shit. It’s also ironic they’re already on Medicare (in their 20s) as it is. This should be an ‘I get it now’ moment for these families, but they’ll learn nothing.
Very true. I mean, people think rising sea levels just means losing beach front property, and they ignore the cataclysmic chain reaction of mass fish die off, acidification, and severe weather. Not to mention the increasing temperatures are allowing for pathogens - in particularly fungi to adapt to higher average temperatures, which means humans (and other mammals) won’t be able to use fevers to fight them off. We’ll continue to see more novel diseases, pandemics, etc. It’s for the best anyway. The sooner the earth can get rid of us, the sooner it can return to equilibrium.
I’m pushing 50 and I tend to think that there’s maybe one or two generations left to live before society collapses due to this shit. The copium being taken by some people on where we’re at is pretty nuts, not to mention the outlandish solutions people are proposing like putting reflective particles into the atmosphere to ‘dim the sun’, rather than just do the things scientists have been shouting for decades. I’ve done my part (which amounts to measurably nothing). But as you said, it’s over kids. We’re at the part of a roller coaster ride where the first couple cars have started down that hill and there’s no way to stop the acceleration of everything else, only unlike the roller coaster, the bottom is the end of the ride.
These specifically are invasive species to these states and negatively impact the ecosystem. It won’t affect native species.
Edit to add that these mosquitos are the carriers of yellow and dengue fever.
The funny thing is this article talks about kids. My Mom is in her 70s and I maintain her phone and she currently uses a pixel 6, so it’s the latest os of course. Whenever I see her, I have to declutter her notifications. They’re constant. Apps and websites have gotten more noisy and aggressive in prompting users to enable notifications or sending constant push crap and I don’t think most people know how to disable them while retaining what they’re actually wanting to get.
I finally have a void kitty myself and I amuse my friends by sending pictures that state there is a cat in this picture. He is so incredibly light absorbent it is insane.
You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn’t anywhere close to being finished.
And you still can! Only now you can see Brand, errr, Snow as the narcissistic womanizing asshole that he is!
I cannot wait to get out of this fucking country.
It’s not the MT Yemen anymore! Good on this guy. Shouldn’t have to come this method, but I’m glad it worked out.
Isn’t this the same guy who got shot at some Congress baseball game? Final destination stuff.
It’s 5061 square meters, not feet, Newsweek. That’d make for a pretty small club.
I don’t know what you’re referring to
Apple is winning the communications game and I’m afraid I’ll wind up switching once they go usb c. I’m sick and tired of the iMessage walled garden when messaging nearly everyone I know, and also tried of the hit or miss debacle of rcs. I will miss the customization freedom (currently using Niagara launcher and it’s super unique ux), but Android phones have deleted all of the other benefits that separated them from iPhones, like expandable storage, ir blasters, headphone jacks, etc. I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I’m sick of waiting for this all to be worked out. Before anyone says to use signal or Whatsapp, etc, it just isn’t a standard here in the US. Folks will never switch off iMessage.
Not sure how you decided this seeing as this benefits people at the poverty line and not the wealthy. Sure, anything can encourage schools to push up tuition prices, but there’s literally a bill in play right now to cap tuition prices. It’s not loan forgiveness, but it’s far better than nothing. Also, the financial impact is a pittance. It’s not the 50k per borrower floated in 2020. It’s not even the 10k the scotus shot down.
It used to make sense depending on your area and intended time you were going to rent for. This assumed that rent was significantly less than a mortgage and you were able to save or invest at least some of the difference. That gap has long since evaporated in desirable areas. In many cases, rent is as much as a mortgage. The problem here is that it prevents people from saving for a down payment (which alone could buy a home twenty years ago), and even if they could, homes are being snapped up with all cash offers from investors or corporations… So they can be rented at a profit. It’s insane.
Thank you. Was going to be my comment as well. And we’re talking fractions of a percent.
“Goods prices have abated…” The fuck they have. Also stop blaming inflation on wage increase. Most of it was caused by opportunistic greed of those aforementioned ‘goods prices’.
Our? Where? In the US? Certainly not in the US. By any measure. Math scores are the lowest they’ve been in decades, same with science. Nevermind all of the fascist 1984 book banning and burning nonsense happening in certain places. These kids are not smarter.
This is incredibly fucked up. Handmaid’s tale was a documentary.
