What do you mean? I can’t think of anything more stable than a grown man burning children’s dolls on the internet after watching a movie based on a toy designed for 6-12 year old girls.

It’s true, you get microtransactions for everything these days. I pay a fee (technically I don’t get a discount) because I told my cell phone provider to stop sending me spam multiple times a week. I’d rather pay the couple bucks per month extra then have to deal with that bullshit.

Watch Niger descend into total degeneracy sponsored by Russian meddling. Way to fuck yourselves and your entire country over for years to come.

The freedom of democratic expression ends where intolerence and policies based on hatred begin. You can’t argue for democratic freedom when it comes to parties that are literally against equal democratic freedom.

Also in this thread, a bunch of regressives that don’t have any regard for human rights.

If anyone was wondering how totalitarian come to power, this is how.

Unilever has been under pressure to pull out of Russia, but says the situation is “not straightforward”.

Yes, what makes it complicated is that Hein Schumacher, CEO of Unilever, would get a smaller bonus if he didn’t support an attempted genocide. Just to repeat that for SEO purposes, Hein Schumacher and the board of Unilever support a genocide in Ukraine.

Its fucking disgusting. La Pen, Brothers of Italy, Vox and PiS are all coming together like some fucked up fascist coalition. They need to all be systematically dismantled.

They have it in a lot of other countries in Europe too. Its fucking disgusting and constantly abused by conservatives. You also see it being used against people who insult the church in certain countries.

I’ve never heard of a super rich person who didn’t want more money

No thank you, we don’t want it anymore. No takesy backsies.

My guess is he got paid off to back down. Putin has a lot of money and probably offered him safety in Belarus as well as a huge chunk of change for him and his troops.

Looks like it briefly went down in 1995 and then started climbing around 9/11 and the war boom. Didn’t the dot com bubble happen around 1995? I figure that could account for the random downturn.

It wasn’t since 2008, it was more or less since Reaganomics and the neoliberal push in the west around the same time. It’s been the same shit ever since, and it’s 100% bipartisan. In fact, the worst offender since Reagan was definitely Slick Willy Clinton, who killed Glass-Steagall and introduced the telecommunications act of 1996, allowing for consolidation of every media empire and telecom network, which severely limited broadcast journalism’s investigative power. It’s been nothing but mega mergers and 1% fuckery ever since. The last chance was Occupy, anyone else remember the lack of coverage? I was in Europe at the time and had to watch fucking RT to see anyone talking about it. They will never let that happen again.

What most of us need to remember, is that they never let it happen the first time around either.

lol, okay there. Let’s settle down and wipe the Doritos from your face, Chequito. This protest has very little to do with any sort of revolution, and even if it did, your next in line after Macron is currently Le Pen, who would simply make things even worse. So really, I don’t think you understand what the fuck you’re talking about.

Good article, and pretty interesting stuff. That said, I can’t imagine this being a “defense mechanism” for increased temperatures, as during the Cretaceous period there wasn’t any increase in seismic activity that we are currently aware of.

Very unlikely that something like the biosphere and geology are connected symbiotically.
