I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will

I don't know who this person is, but that seems a bit pompous.

Maybe we should be happy it doesn't happen, breaking down all plastics which are currently everywhere would probably result in massive CO2 emissions. That's why I'm always sceptical when these kind of articles appear; it gives some people an excuse to say the overuse of plastics isn't an issue.

I can't find it in the article, but I assume this is the same as all the other plastic eating organisms; They can eat plastic under specific circumstances, but would rather not. What is in the article; they can only survive on polystyrene if it is mixed with other food and nutrients.

Not where I live, we actually have a second christmas day on the 26th.

I got my first extra hour the day after I was born.

Edit: I was wrong, it turns out there was no DST in my country when I was born. So I definitely banked it.

I know, since I replied to this:

I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea

It would actually depend on where in Germany you are going, but since the first Turkish "Gastarbeiter" (among others, quite some nationalities) came to West Germany over 60 years ago, it is not uncommon to meet people of Turkish descent there. (East Germany not so much, they had Vietnamese workers but mostly deported them back to Vietnam after the re-unification.) Combine these Gastarbeiter (and the three generations after them) with a declining native birth rate and an influx of asylum seekers, and it could well be 40-50% all together.

The big question is what the problem is here, and the answer is that the far right wants it to be a problem so they can come to power. So they'll bloody make it a problem and try and sabotage any solutions. These last lines are my personal opnion obviously.

This saviour complex is a big part of it. That said, all these big "self made" billionares suffer from it. That's why they all refuse to pay taxes but will instead make a charity foundation so they can choose which public interest is best served by "their" money. Like another poster said, Elon's public interest is apartheid, which aligns with Trump.

LOL. Also, it wouldn't be my ass since I'm the donut stacker.

Calorie restriction is not the same as not eating.

Depends on the thickness of the donut and the butt cheeks. So probably less than one.

I'd rather not stop eating...

Depends on your definition, but most foods are healthier than not eating.

From what I gathered (years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), he couldn't get funding because he hugely miscalculated the distance to India if you'd travel west, like more than half the the distance. Most sailors and scolars knew better, but somehow he got the funding from the Spanish queen.

The reversed rule in plumbing is only for gas lines in the Netherlands.

Same here, except for my dad, he is clumsy as hell.

I don't think I've ever owned any version of Windows.
