There's only two political parties, so vote for the one that's going to win. It feels good to be on the winning team after all.
If you'd like to be a politician, daddy wasn't part of the political elite. You're gonna have to become a communist, or corrupt billionaire before people want to vote for you.
Lying, propaganda and fear mongering is allowed provided you only do it for votes. And to curry favours for donations.
You must harshly judge everyone else on their past -- especially when they were s teen-ager saying stupid stuff on Twitter. Don't worry as a politician, you're immune.
No matter what your opponent says, even if it's a fantastic idea. Shoot it down for the greater good.
Black people and minorities are a tool for pandering to or vilifying depending on the colour of your tie. They can't think for themselves after all.
War is a fantastic way to save the economy by confusing everyone.
And that kids is how you become president of USA/Canada/France or prime minister of UK/Australia/New Zealand.
Can your connections find out if you unfollow them? This is the only thing preventing me from unfollowing.
I've muted a ton of people I don't know at all because their rabid self-promotion or clickbait would keep showing up in my feed. But it is usually the same list of friends liking or sharing that content.
Could you please stop posting snarky and/or assholish comments to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly and we're really trying for something else here. There are other places on the internet to do that kind of thing.
The problem with Rust is that it still can't hit all of the targets that C++ can. I have to support IBM AIX and HP-UX and the only things that I know of that run there are C/C++ and Java.
Lol good luck, shareholders/executives don't care because tomorrow everyone's going to use their cars, have their goods shipped by tankers and Tweet on their plastic covered phones.
Everyone in society decides whether or not a business/industry succeeds or fails. Not a Twitter mob.
You hardly have a choice to avoid the plastic crap in life. You can't even buy salami without it being packaged in plastic. No sense in putting the onus on the consumer, when it was industry looking to cut costs who set up this environment in the first place.
If, say, the price of plastics rises to account for legally mandated recycling and disposal efforts, then plastic use will fall despite demand for convenience of plastic packaging.
They do it because convenience sells and because marketing has indoctrinated us to constantly desire Fresh! New! Pristine! Shiny! products.
Using plastic is the cheapest way for them to do it, since they don't care about the externalities and don't have to pay for the long-term damage they cause.
The solution is regulation. Make the manufacturers bear the costs of responsibly handling every bit of waste they produce, every bit of plastic. Make them responsible for taking back their waste, perhaps with a deposit system like on empty bottles. This will make them reduce their use of plastic packaging, in favor of better designed and actually biodegradable/reusable packaging.
And follow up hard to make sure they actually meet their promises, and don't just ship it all to a third-world country, because they will do that, given the chance.
Close, but you confuse these emissions with those.
Shell pumps oil out of the ground, refines it, transports and sells it, and that oil eventually becomes your emissions and mine. But Shell's production also causes emissions that it controls. IIRC (from very fuzzy memory), if Shell does what the court says, its production-related emissions will be <10% of what its customers emit using what Shell sells them.
It's a mashup of replies that you get on reddit whenever you unluckily stumble into someone with an axe to grind. I think that argument here is that experience on reddit might get negative even when sticking to smaller thematic subreddits.
