  • It's only fine until those sulfates react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid. That stuff rains back down and contributes to ocean acidification which is causing serious harm to all sorts of marine ecosystems.

  • you managed to piss off a huge chunk of your paper's subscriber base without winning over anyone from the other side

    This never had anything to do with winning over MAGA voters. It was only ever about Bezos fearing retaliation from a future Trump administration if he manages to win a second term.

    There's a reason people like Musk are bending over backwards to suck Trump's dick: They've all seen what happened to oligarchs in other countries who didn't bend the knee when a new dictator came to power. Putin is probably the best and most relevant recent example, but the "Saudi Arabian purge" is another, and similar things have been happening all over the world this century.

  • 32 posts a day is a LOT.

    Honestly, that's not even that impressive... It's only 4 posts per hour over a 8 hour work day, which is completely achievable if Internet trolling is your hobby of choice.

    What's really impressive is the number of comments. I won't speculate on Monk's motives (out of fear of running afoul of this community's rules) except to say that they seem extremely motivated to argue with anyone and everyone who posts a disagreeing comment. Their tactic is to bicker with any dissenting voices (without actually engaging with their arguments) to the point of exhaustion so that no one will bother engaging anymore — a very specific strategy I have to imagine is designed to shift the Overton window a particular way.

    Fortunately, their efforts seem to have been mostly ineffective given the number of people around here who continue to call out their BS. So keep fighting the good fight, I guess!

  • Past a certain age, cats tend to develop that specific physique as they lose muscle tone — usually around 17 or 18 years old. By that point they probably also have arthritis making grooming more difficult/painful, which can contribute to the "mangy" look of their fur. Of course, age itself also affects the fur in various ways including thinning and changes in luster/texture. It's also very common for senior cats to have some sort of kidney disease, which can lead to dehydration that further affects the fur.

  • Maybe I should have read the article

    In their defense, the article is extremely obnoxious to read (at least on mobile). We shouldn't have to scroll past dozens of huge images and 'interactive' graphics just to get to the actual text... and that's with an ad blocker installed — I imagine it's even worse without one.

  • Looks like plenty of people disagree with you

    Those are your words to another commenter, whom I think we can very safely assume is also not running for president. So why bring it up at all if it doesn't matter?
