8th Gen was the last good one, and therefore the best one.

Hey chat am I thinking of the Columbia or the Challenger right now?

And the American sport whose full name is “gridiron football”. And the Irish sport whose full name is “gaelic football”. And the Australian sport known as “Aussie rules football”. And the Irish-Australian sport known as “compromise rules football”. And…

Well, UEFA has already said they’re gonna keep boycotting FIFA tournaments until they receive assurances that this proposal won’t be revived.

Good ol’ geostationary moon.

She’s not standing up in her seat though as she blocks our view of the seat and is therefore beside it (or in front of it from our perspective). If she’s walking beside the desks that implies she’s the teacher (or professor if she’s teaching adults an advanced subject).

Her eye-rolling in the first panel suggests that she’s fed up with whatever nonsense the man is saying. My guess is that he’s proving to be a poor student for whatever reason.

In the second panel I assume she’s invited him back to her place that evening for some “extra tutoring” and in the third panel he comes to realize (to his disappointment) that she wasn’t speaking euphemistically.

My guess is that the difficulty in translating the title is due to some obscure local idiom for “Jucika’s extra tutoring gig” or “Jucika’s evening class side-hustle”.

Also without said word colonies there’s nowhere for facist general to overthrow your democracy from.

Has anyone really been far, even as decided, to use even go want to do look more like?

Not trying to be a smartass but why not just volunteer for Ukraine?

We don’t need a new video to highlight this, we already have an old one:

Just do what you can, when you can. It’s all any of us can do.

Whoever said “instead”?

That’s even more of a reason to focus on buyers rather than sellers.

Because I don’t trust anybody who tells me things I wanna hear like “you bear no responsibility; it’s somebody else’s fault”.

Oil companies couldn’t sell if nobody was buying. The idea that the world can be fixed and I won’t need to sacrifice a thing is a little too good to be true. Sure, maybe others will need to make more changes than me, and I’m certainly not gonna let them off the hook, but I’m not gonna let myself off the hook either, and anyone who tells me I can is selling me something.

“I’m so old, in history class I just wrote down what I was doing”

“I’m so old, my social security number is 1”

“I’m so old, when I piss, sand comes out”

“I’m so old, both the Democrats and the Republicans have asked me to run in 2028”

Most of the factories that manufacture the stuff you use are driven by fossil fuels. The food you eat is most likely grown using fertilizer that was made using natural gas. Unless you live in the forest and eat nuts and berries, you use fossil fuels.

“Popular superheroes are popular” isn’t a deep revelation. People will still flock to see the next Batman movie, too. Deadpool & Wolverine did gangbusters. So did GOTG3. If Tony Stark hadn’t died, an Iron Man 4 right about now would do insane business. And I suspect that if Marvel had successfully rebooted Blade, that movie would do insane business too.

The main thing I’m surprised by is how Marvel has never attempted to make an MCU Daredevil movie, as it seems to me that it’d be an easy sell. He’s their most currently popular character that they’ve never done a movie for (in the MCU at least).

I think Heroic basically already does that though

Zimbabwe can tax the profits from mining AND the profits from processing. Additionally, doing it locally means that Zimbabwean workers get the work, and that the knowhow for doing it becomes local knowledge. Furthermore, this is merely a stepping stone, as Zimbabwe plans to develop a domestic industry for manufacturing batteries with this processed lithium. If you’ve ever seen Rules for Rulers by CGP Grey, you’ll be familiar with the concept that the more a national economy depends on raw resources, the more prone it is to exploitation and oppression, whereas the more a national economy depends on advanced manufacturing, the harder it is for a dictator to exploit, since it means national prosperity depends on a highly-educated workforce, which is antithetical to how brutal dictatorships work.

This isn’t a Chinese initiative. Zimbabwe has banned the export of raw lithium, meaning that Chinese companies were forced to move processing here. There’s no doubt that China wants to exploit Africa as much as it can, but Zimbabwe at least has figured out how to prevent itself from getting completely taken advantage of, and is leveraging its position to turn itself into a more advanced economy.

TBH anyone who thinks that our natural state is calm civility and love has never had to take care of a young child for any significant amount of time. “How dare you touch my toys, regardless of whether I was playing with them” is a universal stage that everyone goes through and that has to be corrected lest the child NEVER outgrow it.
