  • You can see from Trump and Bondi's comments that they've already identified several back down positions.

    Presently, they're just undermining the credibility of any documents they have.

    Later if it doesn't clear up they'll just release a few vanilla bits, that say say are credible, which might include some incendiary names, but Trump will obviously be clean.

    They will use that circus to undermine the credibility of the whole thing, it's a democrat invention et cetera.

  • They didn't really "rip into everyone".

    The trial had all the ingredients to stir public interest. It's not really surprising it generated so many stories and headlines.

    In general I think content creators were pretty well behaved. Of course there are some notable exceptions.

  • that's not an unpopular opinion so much as a personal preference.

    This phrase means that "personal preference" is a more apt description, not necessarily that "unpopular opinion" is incorrect.

    Regardless, you're free to discuss your preferences for pizza toppings if you wish, it's just not a very engaging subject.

  • Another term for "record fatigue" might be "maximal misery".

    As in... I already feel miserable about climate change and additional bad news can't make me feel significantly worse because I can't sustain a more miserable outlook.

    Another part of the same thing is that the additional news isn't actionable. We're all already living our best sustainable lives, a new record doesn't change anything.

  • The letters are just the latest embarrassment in an embarrassing agenda, and I'm kinda surprised they're still playing this dumb game.

    I may well regret saying this but it doesn't really seem like there's been much in the way of consequences to the US economy. None that anyone seems to care about anyway.

  • Firstly, I respect your opinion as I probably shared it in the past.

    Secondly, we're obviously talking about making the bed as in after you wake up. Making the bed as in fresh linen is an amazing feeling and absolutely worth while once every few weeks.

    Now, to rebut your comments...

    1. It makes it more comfortable.

    This is a silly reason, and I don't see how it's true.

    It does however make bed time feel calmer and more soothing somehow. In my 20s I didn't care about quality sleep because you just bounce back from anything. In my 40s I do think about things like what might contribute to the perfect night's sleep. Having a shower, putting on clean pyjamas, and climbing into a nice bed in a tidy room just kinda sets the scene for a good sleep.

    1. it doesn't take much time so you may as well do it

    any task not worth my time to be a waste

    this is subjective. Your whole argument may as well be "I don't value having a made up bed", which would be fine, but that's not an unpopular opinion so much as a personal preference.

    Regardless, you don't "make" the bed the same way you make it when putting on fresh linen. You just flick the covers straight. It takes less time than scratching your ass.

    1. It looks nice. And an unmade bed looks lazy

    It's kinda weird how often people do see our bedroom TBH. Usually it's someone using the toilet in the en-suite when the other toilet is in use.

    1. It's a good example for our kids

    There's no way our kids would keep a nice tidy bedroom if we didn't.

  • Also water, they consume heaps of fresh water which is used for important meat bag things like, oh I don't know, eating and drinking perhaps.

    No one is really challenging them on this, but water scarcity is going to be a big deal as climate change worsens.

    Cook the planet and take all the water.

  • Supercomputers once required large power plants to operate, and now we carry around computing devices in out pockets that are more powerful than those supercomputers.

    This is false. Supercomputers never required large [dedicated] power plants to operate.

    Yes they used a lot of power, yes that has reduced significantly, but it's not at the same magnitude as AI

  • Yes but we also consume CO2 if we're part of a society which is net 0.

    As i said up top, the infographic is designed to demonstrate the environmental problems caused by over population.

    However, the methodology used to represent that impact is problematic.

    I'm not saying overpopulation is not bad. I'm not saying you should have n children. I'm saying the numbers here dont withstand a moments critical thought.
