Heaven forbid I have opinions!

Glad I cancelled. If the CEO is this clueless and/or and/or ignorant and/or disingenuous do I really want them responsible for my private data?

Oh you sweet summer child

It’s not the paper that’s at issue from what I see. It’s your binary interpretation of it.

Seems to me people are stumbling on words - “caused” vs “exacerbated” or “accentuates”.

Climate change is both “causing” fires in the sense that conditions allow more fires to grow to become problems and, as the paper says, “accentuate” fires.

Historical forest management techniques, specifically fire suppression, has also “caused” fires in the sense that conditions allow more fires to grow to become problems.

Both these things are true. It’s also true that neither “cause” fires as in ignite them. Wildlands don’t spontaneously combust. In fact almost all fires in the western US at least are human caused with the balance being lightning.

Facts!

It only seems like rocks are brighter when you are dumber than a rock.

I’m not so sure. He’s white and male.

And very old.

Can confirm.

I live in California. My vote doesn’t count for sheeet.

I’m one of those people who spent a lot of time cheer-leading the Democratic party and the Harris campaign before the election. I still think it was the right thing to do given the alternative. AND I still think that anyone who stayed home or voted for Trump is a moron. But now that the worst possible thing has come to pass and we’re gonna have to spend the next couple of decades dealing with the consequences anyway: Fuck the Democrats. I’m done.

Why would you assume “he” as a default pronoun?

Darkness is our fren

Have they come to talk with you again?

An electric toothbrush and more importantly a water flosser have saved me thousands in dental treatment costs.

I too am VERY special.

Edit: But I AM DAMMIT!

“Do you want to be next? DO YOU?”

in no small part because of republican efforts to demonise her

Actually no, it isn’t. It’s because she’s a fucking virulently anti-progressive neo-con. She has done some good in combatting Republican BS and I respect her abilities as a slimy politician in the same way I’d respect an skilled pick pocket, but this has nothing to do with Republicans.

What is dark matter?

I don’t miss dial-up internet,

Nobody “misses” 56kbit/s.

I don’t even like the sound because it’s just digital screeches

When I hear that sound now I am very briefly returned to the excitement I felt in the 90s. It was an age of wide-open possibilities, free from commercial influence. Full of patience and anticipation.

Oh well.

Why does *ucker Carlson always look like he either desperately needs to poop or accidentally just pooped?
