With this obsession for oil, surely climate change is not going to be a problem later.
Let’s not try to be less dependent on oil and just continue to sponsor death and destruction to quench our thirst for it. After all, there is simply no other choice but to continue the consumption.
It’s obvious when you listen to their dictator.
Sad. How disgraceful. Total disaster. Tremendous disgrace.
EDIT: Seriously, I’m not a native speaker and recently someone asked me my level of English compared to one. I wasn’t sure how ro reply. It depends which native speaker. Do we count the accent? Because I’m pretty sure the president of France has a better English vocabulary than the US dictator.
Posing in front of a gas guzzler whining about the high price of gas. Maybe if the US mercenaries bomb and kill more people the price will hopefully go down!
I wonder if just like Brits and French, Unitedstaters emigrating elsewhere will call themselves “expats” instead of immigrants.
We, white people of the west, can go anywhere in the world for work, affordability and/or safety without considering ourselves immigrants.
Many years ago I was chatting with someone from Malmö. He was complaining how immigrants were “taking over his city”. But when I mentioned that I, a Canadian, would also like to move to Sweden, he told me it would be fine, that he would not consider me “an immigrant” because I’m from the west.
Anyway, I understand why anyone would want to leave. It’s just that it seems the vocabulary used is different for different people.
I’m going to add Sony to this list.
It’s a natural phenomenon but AFAIK it can be accentuated or accelerated by the rise of the sea level, or the passage of boats and vessels. It can be entirely normal, but it can also be provoked or worsened by other factors. And that’s why we document and do some research about it?!
I’m not a climate scientist but luckily the Wikipedia’s article on the Streisand effect has a link to coastal erosion if you want to know more.
It’s Barbara Streisand’s.
The term was coined in 2005 by Mike Masnick of Techdirt after Barbra Streisand attempted to suppress the publication of a photograph by Kenneth Adelman showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, taken to document coastal erosion in California.
I find being told to “be careful” irrationally irritating, especially when I’m on foot or on my bike and I’m told to “be very careful” before going on a road. Like, of course, if nobody told me I would have let a car hit me. Or if one hits me, it’s because I wasn’t careful enough.
I understand what people mean when they say that before going on the road, but every time my brain is just like “ok, but some it I can’t control”.
Some drug traffickers can be condemned and pardoned. Some presumed drug traffickers in other countries must be assassinated in the name of national security.
They look so happy to destroy the future. Fuck the environment later, money is now.
The article doesn’t mention any “miles per hour”. Do people in Australia use mph?
In December, the NSW premier, Chris Minns, announced a plan to halve ebikes’ power – and therefore reduce their top speeds – to 250 watts…
This reminds me of a Republican politician interviewed on TV being told that crime rates were down, and him replying “but I don’t FEEL safe”.
Reality doesn’t matter.
You should tell Gemini about it!
Seriously I don’t know what version started what but Android is slowly getting more and more annoying for me to use. It’s like Windows where you have to spend multiple minutes, if not hours, in personalizing and removing bloatware. But then an update brings or restore more shit.
I know it’s not all Android’s fault, but it adds up.
For example, I know they are forced by the EU to lower the volume after a while, but sometimes I use weak bone conducting headphones and I NEED the volume to be at max.
Or another are the mandatory presidential/amber alerts, where the government decides to make your phone scream an end of the world alarm because a child is missing 200 km away. I’d like to have normal notifications for that but no, only end of the world alarms.
This one is on Android though and I’ll need to find how to disable that annoying “you haven’t used those apps in a while so permissions were removed” thigny. I don’t open some apps often, like my backup app, but it’s still used, unless Android decides to revoke permissions automatically. Like, I don’t use Wahoo in winter but when I want to use it back in summer, it cant find my sensors because permissions have been revoked.
I’ve been annoyed and tired of using Android for a few years now. And I obviously won’t go to Apple. Maybe next time I’ll get a dumb phone and just carry a small computer with me for the rest.
In French, il has always looked a bit weird when typed at the beginning of a sentence.

Microsoft. I have used Linux for more than 25 years but also worked in a helpdesk. In some jobs I’ve been able to avoid their stuff completely but most of the time I’m stuck using Windows and worst of all, Teams.
Cars. I don’t drive and won’t drive. I hate cars and hate seeing them everywhere. I moved to a city where there’s bike paths and public transit and it’s great for me but the city is still choked with noisy polluting cars. And I still need one to go back in my little shitty town that had passenger trains for a century before being cut in the 90ies. The whole society is pushing and bullying people into getting cars. You’ll love your new car! You’re not a real adult until you have a car. Get a car!
As a Canadian, I have never seen a bag of milk “sealed” with a rubber band. Plus, standard bags are way bigger than these. Those bags are not Canadian.
En tant que Canadien, je n’ai jamais vu de sacs de lait “scellés” avec des élastiques. De plus, les sacs réguliers sont beaucoup plus grand que ceux-ci. Ces sacs ne sont pas Canadiens.
Genuine. I still wonder if I pronounced it correctly every time I use the word.
Just for fun, look up how much the US army pollutes.
