This is incredibly fucked up. Handmaid's tale was a documentary.

I mean, no? In case it wasn't clear from the article, these are the people that voted for this shit. It's also ironic they're already on Medicare (in their 20s) as it is. This should be an 'I get it now' moment for these families, but they'll learn nothing.

Point of note - it's just 'Ukraine', not the Ukraine. 'The Ukraine' is a label used by those who see the nation as a region part of Russia. Small, but important thing I had to change when referring to it as well.

No

I'm pushing 50 and I tend to think that there's maybe one or two generations left to live before society collapses due to this shit. The copium being taken by some people on where we're at is pretty nuts, not to mention the outlandish solutions people are proposing like putting reflective particles into the atmosphere to 'dim the sun', rather than just do the things scientists have been shouting for decades. I've done my part (which amounts to measurably nothing). But as you said, it's over kids. We're at the part of a roller coaster ride where the first couple cars have started down that hill and there's no way to stop the acceleration of everything else, only unlike the roller coaster, the bottom is the end of the ride.

These specifically are invasive species to these states and negatively impact the ecosystem. It won't affect native species.

Edit to add that these mosquitos are the carriers of yellow and dengue fever.

The funny thing is this article talks about kids. My Mom is in her 70s and I maintain her phone and she currently uses a pixel 6, so it's the latest os of course. Whenever I see her, I have to declutter her notifications. They're constant. Apps and websites have gotten more noisy and aggressive in prompting users to enable notifications or sending constant push crap and I don't think most people know how to disable them while retaining what they're actually wanting to get.

I finally have a void kitty myself and I amuse my friends by sending pictures that state there is a cat in this picture. He is so incredibly light absorbent it is insane.

You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn't anywhere close to being finished.

I find this very sad

And you still can! Only now you can see Brand, errr, Snow as the narcissistic womanizing asshole that he is!

The most successful predator known to man I believe. And they hunt for sport. I love my cats, but they watch the birds through the windows.

I bet the deer are doing terrible though.

I cannot wait to get out of this fucking country.

What I've noticed with my partners 13 year old is how little is actually taught. During covid, he got daily lesson plans for home teaching which took a couple of hours at most. He's been back in person now for 2 years. He gets no homework. He doesn't seem to be taught or retain any kind of knowledge, yet his grades are 'good'. Like, he can hardly tell you what countries make up North America, let alone where stares are or anything actually meaningful like history of... Anything. It seems to me the bar has just been lowered. We keep waiting for this to flip, or school to get 'hard' but it doesn't seem to be.

It's not the MT Yemen anymore! Good on this guy. Shouldn't have to come this method, but I'm glad it worked out.

Isn't this the same guy who got shot at some Congress baseball game? Final destination stuff.

It's 5061 square meters, not feet, Newsweek. That'd make for a pretty small club.

I'm literally the only person I know who uses any of these platforms. A new messaging service out of those won't ever be on their radar.

I don't know what you're referring to
