No, that’s cooler than being cool

Bleurgh!

‘Crickets’ is the best Americans can hope for, to be fair.

I must say, I did not notice this lately.

If this really is the case it would mean a big step back. 30 years or so ago, censoring was mainly due to prudish broadcasting networks.

Nowadays it probably will be to not offend the easily offended crowd. Let’s hope it won’t catch on.

Nomen est omen

Isn’t there a possibility to vote for a third / minor party?

If yes, this would be the best choice instead of not voting.

Powerful stuff.

Very well written.

Power is the major reason.

I also would not be surprised if powerful people have to do something sinister as an initiation rite that could be held against them in the future.

Like a dangling sword, should they feel just TOO powerful to toe the line.

If you look at older posts, they too are written like a 14-year old girl would write.

I am afraid OP is serious…

Ah yes. This is how the company apparently justifies it. Right in the article.

Company that mines nickel for ‘green’ electric cars destroys forest in doing so. Ironic

They just come south to sing the praises and advertise for tourism

I think the main problem is not really the number of people that are due to leave.

Most people tend to see and experience the other numbers you mentioned, i.e. 81 Mio vs 84,5 Mio.

How much of this increase can be attributed to organic population growth? How much of it is due to welcoming refugees?

54k really is ridiculously low, but I think an increasing amount of people do not know or care about this number. They just feel their lifes getting harder (not enough housing, food prices, stressed health systems…) and helplessly point their fingers on the seemingly easiest solution.

Al Jazeera clearly have their own biases, but outright banning them would be a bad sign.

They seem to be the only news station with reporters on the ground IN Gaza, so a ban could be seen as shutting the last (official) window of information, which does not sound good at all.

I am of the opinion that we can and should still ignore India without suffering a big impact.

Jup, my “Summer Vacation” is now over. Very pissed off about the weather

Coolyo

Horrible, I really feel for him.

Suffocating the person you have loved for so many years because they have begged you to must be just so heartwrenching.

And to think after that horrible ordeal, you have to deal with all the legal aftermath and be branded a murderer…

This will be interesting to see. I fear that a lot of new Ukrainian oligarchs will be made, who pocket the lion’s share.

Slow is relative, but some Alternative songs come to mind

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Pearl Jam - Alive

Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn
