colonialism facilitating corruption, who could have guessed!

you could […] give anyone any benefit

don’t threaten us with a good time

13% of adults are illiterate (124 other countries in the world with higher literacy rates).

Almost half the population thinks humans aren’t contributing to climate change.

40% of people believe the earth was created a few thousand years ago.

42% of people think Russia is communist.

And on average people in the US think 22% of the population is Muslim, where the real number is more like 1%.

We’re doomed to see this comically bad take again and again unless and until by some miracle the US education system improves

One atom says to the other “I think I’ve lost an electron!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m positive”

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.

Interesting that you think you have more of a handle on the definition of apartheid than Desmond Tutu https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/apr/29/comment

So when the National Party government in South Africa imposed restrictions on travel between made-up areas that basically nobody else in the world recognized as separate countries, that was also not apartheid?

2-5% of the population of Gaza has been killed in the last year, close to the entire population is homeless, Israeli military leaders are openly saying, in English, that their goal is for all the Palestinians to leave to other countries.

What definition of genocide are you using where the current situation does not count?

carbrained bullshit from the guardian as usual. do they wanna cite statistics or even a source on “many motorists, however, resent the changes”? of course not, evidence-free bothsidesing of vehicular deaths it is

this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

There might be something on the wiki, in the meantime how I decide is:

• if it’s a single expanse of poured concrete it’s Concrete
• if there is dirt / grass between two parallel tracks of concrete (whether or not the tracks have any joins) it’s Concrete Lanes
• if it’s just concrete but there are seams where it’s been poured separately, Concrete Slabs

And if it’s anything else I skip.

Existing relationship (boss) might not be leading with compersion 🙃

buried in the middle of the article it says the Tsarist regime banned it and the ban was lifted (still by the Tsars) in 1904. haven’t checked elsewhere.

absolutely. but I’ll bet 10000 Argentine pesos this line is being rolled out across redd*t, maybe even verbatim, nevertheless
