You're unrealistically optimistic. The earth will cook us off the face of the planet along with 90% of species. It's starting now and will take a few years to really get moving.

Don't worry, we don't have long enough left to institute an insect food delivery system of any note. Pretty soon the bugs will be eating us.

It's been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

Like an episode of Alone, but without the planning, support and logistics.

Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?

Because they can't control them at home.

He has three sets of charges coming total for now. "Honorable" Aileen Cannon is just one judge in his pocket for one set of charges. Other judges won't be bought or threatened into letting him slither away.

The fix was in on our climate by the 90's, the Co2 levels are above 450 ppm. This doesn't have an equivalent in many millions of years. The effects of heat building is cumulative, the earth still has plenty more room to store heat energy, and we've already put more than enough Co2 in the atmosphere to warm well past 2C. We've got years left, not decades. Wait till food distribution systems break down, that's when it'll hit everyone that this is already a done deal. Things will begin to break down rapidly in the next few years.

 

Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

Yeah but it's not a fucking city dude, the comments are addressing the hyperbole in the comment.

How do you clean your ears, bellybutton, toes? And hopefully in that order. Some stuff needs extra attention, and some people have different skin types than you. Go scrub out your toes.

I remember watching a black comedian many years ago and his bit started "Why don't white people use washcloths?", and it got me thinking. I started using washcloths and noticed I came away cleaner, soap on a hand doesn't cut the skin oils and dirt like soap and gentle abrasion can. I also noticed, because I'm hairy, that I get lots of ingrown hairs, especially on my legs. Switched to one of those "poofs" and now I vigorously scrub my hairy bits and no ingrown hairs. Exfoliating helps.

Use a washcloth and don't forget to brush your tongue, you filthy animal.

Not drinking today or any other day. All of you can do this!

I almost lost everything, keeping in mind that even one drink puts me right back on a path to losing it all forever helps me, personally. Can't/won't do it.

 

Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

 

The Ballpark app requires a ton of personal information, way more than I expected. To wit: Full name, Email address, Password, Street address, Telephone number(s), Birth date, Payment data, IP addresses, Location data, Contacts (as stored in your wireless device), Demographic data, Device data, Usage data, Voice recordings, Audiovisual recordings, Information about your interests and preferences, Data specifically requested in relation to an activity or an event (e.g., emergency contact information), Data provided by Other Companies if you choose to connect your use of our services through the Other Company’s service, Personal information of a child if and only if a parent or guardian provides the child’s personal information; and

  • Sensitive personal information*.

This is all required in order to go to a game, all tickets are distributed through the app. There are workarounds, I said I don't have a smartphone, and they allowed it using an mlb.com account. It's tedious. Perhaps this is an indication of what our future looks like, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate modern life without giving up all your data to prying apps, corporations and data brokers. This is just to go to a game, there's no opportunity to print out tickets, show a generated QR code, bar code, nothing. You must have the app to attend a game.
