Actually that sounds pretty smart. We should absolutely do that !

Unfortunately, Elon Musk doesn’t know you can’t “identify as a founder”. Your gender is valid ; this is not.

This is what differentiates old money from nouveau-riche. They’re both evil, but the first have a sense of dignity about it.

I understand this is (hopefully) not how you meant it, but opposing “foreign wife” to “normal woman” is a rather unfortunate choice of words.

TLDR :

Another explanation for why the JWST may have seen an overrepresentation of galaxies rotating in one direction is that the Milky Way's own rotation could have caused it.

Corrected !

I only read 1984 once in French 11 years ago, so it’s a little fuzzy 😆

The main reason I don’t follow much left-leaning content online is because a lot of it is utterly depressing.

I’m sure there is a way to change the presentation of things to stop fueling doomerism without needing to outright sweep bad things under the rug.

Put more focus on the solutions than the issues, for a start. When covering the opposition, always do so by rightfully making fun of them as the clowns they indeed are. Picturing them as competent in any way indirectly gives them more power.

I personally don’t want another source of sadness and anger in my life, but I do want to be connected to other leftists and leftist ideas.

Literally 1984.

This is a textbook example of newspeak / doublethink, exactly how they use the word “corruption” to mean different things based on who it’s being applied to.

Football (soccer) pitches are also all different sizes, so it’s not even a consistent measurement unit ! (Which is also true of elephants)

Seems like not heating at all may have been even more lucrative, though. Would the temperatures have dropped intolerably low if you did so ?

I’m sure there’s something to be done about the naming scheme even for Dell, though, so it’s a little easier to distinguish the products.
