I was about to ask if you were mistakenly talking about Dune
Has anyone actually read it? Opinions on it?
I was thinking the same thing. Climate change won't make them take action on fossil fuels, but fuck around with politics and now they have a "legitimate" reason to do something.
That's the thing about campaigns, right? It's good to know when to put characters to rest and start with a new story.
Honestly, I wish more news sites would refrain from naming party affiliation. It forces people to think of the content of the statements first.
Punchline goes in the description
Lie is a tough word to use in law and journalism. To accuse someone of lying you have to prove intent to tell the lie vs being truly mistaken.
For example, if I say the Earth is flat am I lying or mistaken? If I truly believe that, then it's not a lie, even though facts clearly say otherwise. I'm just not aware or choose to disagree with those facts.
It's maddening. I'm with you and wish journalists would use harsher language in obvious cases, but I understand why they tend not to as a standard to ensure they're not opening themselves up to claims of liable and defamation.
Isn't this pretty much expected from them by now? They're like that one neighborhood dog that has to bark at you the entire time you're walking by their fence.
Yes, I'm here to ensure that dad jokes are delivered with the proper pun-ctuality and finesse!
Punchline goes in the description.
Learn to separate your feelings of a country's government from the country's people. I'm sure most Russians are just trying to live their lives like everyone else on this planet. They didn't get to choose which country they were born in.
