We can enjoy a fine vintage shitpost now and then

I’ve been telling this to people for two decades: climate denialism exists to provide a “get out of liability free” card for the folks who’d otherwise be stuck paying climate reparations

The tipping point is going to come 5-10y before the mainstream op-eds that shrilly decry “Why did no one warn us it would be this bad!?” while simultaneously blaming leftist voters, consumers and immigrants for not taking it upon themselves to magic up a solution.

What? They targeted gamers?!‽

That matches with our experience from the US to the EU. Long haul is about 50/50 IIRC, you have to hunt a little bit to be sure the flights you book are Airbus

You have to check each flight for long haul. My SO did a round trip from the US west coast to Germany recently for work and something like 2/3 of the Lufthansa flights were Airbus, the rest were Boeing

Usually European companies prefer Airbus. Lufthansa is usually a safe bet.

US companies? Best of luck.

They’re trying to be the MSN of the 2020s but their userbase has zero interest in advertising or AI slop. It’s not going well and they refuse to focus on their core product.

Friendships are formed via proximity and common interests. Go places with other people who enjoy the same hobbies and make an effort to get to know some of them.

I’m in favor of dictators worldwide standardizing on the cybertruck thanks. It’ll be easy to disable all of them with a garden hose or a baseball.

Cold War 1 never ended, the west got a kick out of telling everyone that they won and took their eye off the ball while Russia continued playing.

There are more Russian agents in the US now than ever before and I guarantee that Europe is getting the same treatment. Small amounts of spending can yield outsized results for Russia, they learned this 50+y ago and are continuing to act on it.
