There are some real disgusting people here. Anyone who thinks that the solution to climate change is to kill a lot of humans should consider going first.
The lawsuit is cool and all, but one of the other articles in my feed is that one billion people are expected to die due to climate change over the next century, and this idiot wants to increase oil and coal production.
I guess the lesson is that Netflix was always doomed the moment the companies that actually produce and/or own all the content realized how lucrative streaming could be. They were only as successful as they were because they had no competition.
Also, blowing up the dark ones is canonically a bad idea. It's a representation of humanity’s tendency to react with irrational fear and violence against things we don't understand. If it seems foolish to you, congrats, you understand the point of the story.
The nosalises were added to the game because shooter games need generic enemies to shoot. They don't exist in the books, so the actual plot doesn't mention them.
I'm sorry, what? Are they defining "democratic" to mean that each government has a say, regardless of how democratic that government itself actually is?
The article that this article links to says that the rocket failing wasn't the outcome they hoped for but since the launch was a test rather than a critical mission they spun it as a learning experience. Also apparently the explosion was a deliberate self-destruct after the engines failed partway up, so at least that system works.
In socialist analysis, there are really only two classes: the working class and the capitalist class. The difference is that the capitalist receive passive income from their legal ownership of the means of production and while they may choose to do some sort of work, they are not dependent on their pay for survival.
The idea of the "middle class" is a relatively recent invention which in this analysis serves to divide the workers by giving some of them the impression that they are higher status than others while still leaving them subordinate to the capitalists.
It seems kind of strange to say this when Ukraine is the side currently on the offensive and the Russian government has already faced one challenge since the war began that made Putin look pretty weak.
Also, it's hard to negotiate when you don't trust the other side to keep their word.
A lot of people just treat politics as a game. They don't really care about the issues, they just want "their side" to win, no matter what that actually means.
But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it — mostly in the western part of Beijing.
Saying that the "Tiananmen Square massacre" killings actually happened in other parts of the city may be an important academic distinction, but it isn't a particularly stirring defense of the army's actions.
Except that Chamberlain had the excuse that Britain was not ready for war in 1938 and there's a legitimate question of whether they could have stopped Hitler if they tried. So the US ending aid to Ukraine would actually be a much worse decision than that.
