Here is some data supporting that Canada is second in per-capita CO2 emissions after the US.

When looking at consumption-based emissions the picture is not quite as dire but it’s still not great.

Per capita means it’s adjusted for the population. Both China and India are large polluters but they are the two most populated countries in the world.

Again?

Starts with green card holders, then it progresses to those who weren’t born in the US via denaturalization (as the administration has already started with), and finally it gets to all citizens. The people cheering for this are the ones who don’t realize that the leopards will eat their faces sooner or later as well.

I don’t know if it’s related to the culture of American exceptionalism, that people are so used to the idea that they’re special and that they won’t be affected, that they never even stop to consider the possibility.

Once you start remembering where the buttons are you get to the advantageous part which is using the controls without ever having to take your eyes off the road.

> “no goalpost moving”

> immediately moves goalposts

Thank you for proving my point.

Now you’re just moving the goalposts and playing with words. Your initial comment only said

NATO membership is off the table, virtually no NATO country wants Ukraine to join.

Which is absolute nonsense.

Ukraine is currently in a war and already pretty early on after the start of the full-scale invasion there were discussions that a country joining during wartime is not something that seemed plausible but that a membership when the conflict is over is something that almost all members stand behind.

You mentioned nothing about it being effective immediately in your initial comment and only claimed that virtually no NATO members want Ukraine to join.

France: “The Participants reaffirm that Ukraine’s security is integral to Euro-Atlantic and global security. France confirms that Ukraine’s future membership of NATO would make an effective contribution to peace and stability in Europe.”

Germany: “‘It was agreed at the last NATO summit that Ukraine should be given the prospect of joining NATO. A joint NATO effort is needed here, so I do not agree with those who say that we should immediately give up on Ukraine’s membership in NATO before negotiations with russia,’ Merz said."

Now you’re just parroting talking points from the Kreml.

Almost all of the NATO countries want Ukraine to join except for Russia’s lapdogs, ergo: Hungary, Slovakia, and the US.

What would it look like to start from scratch with a massively simplified standard for specifying UIs, based on all we’ve learned since html/css was invented?

Probably a lot better. The difficult, and expensive, part is getting everyone to migrate over to this new standard, not because it’d be unfeasible but because companies don’t want to spend any time or money on things that they don’t think will make them profit.

What we’d need is, for example, the EU realizing that Google’s attempted monopoly on the internet is dangerous and requiring a certain standard for private consumer-facing websites to get the ball rolling.

The point is to cause obstruction and attention. Force them to show that they don’t respect the rule of law so everyone can see it, people like the idea of “mavericks who don’t bend a knee to bureaucracy” but when it’s obvious that they can (and will) take your livelihood without leaving you with any legal recourse, a lot of people are less enthusiastic. And if the courts actually put a stop to their efforts every now and then, it undermines their position of authority and shows that the power they claim to wield isn’t as far-reaching as they’d like to pretend.

They want people to give in without a fight, they want people to silently just accept their authority. Don’t give it to them for free.

Anything that makes it even a little bit harder for Russia to torture and rape another country’s population is money well spent.

Republicans.

That is A: debatable and B: something that happened thanks to the lend-lease program. A lot of brave soviets put their lives on the line, but so did soldiers of many other countries.

He did. He helped build it.

Luigi Mangione has not been found guilty of any crime. As of the time when writing this, he is an innocent man suspected of committing a crime. Until proven otherwise, he is not the person who shot the CEO.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention one of my favorites:

Spec Ops: The Line.

The risk with going in blind is that it seems like a generic cover-shooter that doesn’t do everything quite as well as its competitors but it actually works to its advantage once you get into it.

If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it, you can usually find it for really cheap.

I would guess that she’s trying to separate the voters from the representatives, so that when someone calls out a republican politician for being racist, they have a harder time convincing their voters that she was calling them racist as well.

Right now it seems like people see their political party as their identity, there are both democrats and republicans who do it but I’d say it is far, far more common with republicans.

You can, and should, hold your representatives accountable when they do bad shit, regardless of whether you voted for them or not, and if your party starts standing for things that are worse than another party then you should change who you vote for.

It’s a long road to get back from this division in the US, but I hope there’s a future where it’s possible.

Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime’s playbook.
