Truss is a bad example of this because she actively chose to dive off the cliff.

Parking between the lines in the parking lot? You can just drive over them. wake up sheeple you can just stop your car anywhere

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the fbi probably needs a higher standard of evidence than “trust me bro” to get a warrant on a freshly out of office former president. Good thing this guy claims to have incriminating recordings of trump and oh wait he conveniently can’t produce them, definitely not suspicious. I’m going to assume ‘I was in the sinaloa cartel but they let me leave because I was tight with Epstein’ guy isn’t throwing up even more nutjob red flags.

Ok so we agree “some random guy made an unsubstantiated tip to the fbi about a (then) former president” is not news or noteworthy.

So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit’s. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.

‘sure it’s just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn’t make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true’ A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn’t news just because you want to believe it.

+bonus round ‘oh you’re skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?’

‘try it (nobody will do anything about it and nothing will happen to you)’ oh ok. Not normally how you would use that phrase confrontationally.

She had no intention of shooting, she said.

jesus christ I hope her lawyer approved this statement.

Oh so not even you, thats where someone else will draw the line.

I like the implication that everything else was acceptable but if he threatens a statue that’s when you’ll do something,

Oh yeah, that’s why a republican wins texas by 30% in a midterm. lol

Honestly I think this is great. Some tacky bloodsport arena is a refreshingly honest reflection of the true national character of this country.

Much more fitting than the weird civil religion stuff going on in the rest of the national mall. This country does not deserve dignity until it stops being a global force for evil.

Because obviously it’s impossible to take a photo with an underexposed foreground object and overexposed background.

Because the image is gold and a shade of blue that you can get from white if your white balance is bad enough.

yeah no shit that’s the emissions per capita part. It was ‘oversimplified’ but I guess still too hard for you to understand?

Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.

If you didn’t actually have a rebuttal you could have just not engaged instead of being a smug prick with nothing to add.

OK then explain how increasing population reduces demand for goods and lowers GHG emissions.

Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.

It doesn’t need to be, the core concept is simple. We are already overpopulated because we are failing to sustainably provide for 8 billion people. Doubling the number of people to provide for is not going to help.

The only people here conflating economic value with human worth are the people who are outraged. An easily automated employee isn’t of high value to a company, like no shit.

total emissions = emissions per capita * capita

Unless we figure out carbon neutrality without cratering HDI in the next year or two maybe lets work on reducing birth rates. ‘we could have 20 billion people if we all live like subsistence farmers’ is fucking stupid.

Downvoting not because of the sentiment but because I am so fucking tired of this gif.
