2019 isn’t some ancient far away time though, it’s just a few years ago. If Facebook were doing stuff like this then, think who else is still doing it.

Seeing as I live here, I’ll take the root beer.

Especially if it’s that Australian stuff with the sasparilla in it, Bundaberg, that stuff is AMAZING!

Those bastar… Wait what?

You can make any graph look bad if you control the axis bounds weirdly like this.

Not that I have good things to say about ubisoft, but at a glance one would assume their stock value plummeted to zero, which is not the case.

That’s pretty dang cool, and 12 is my favourite number too :-)

What’s your favourite number?

Can I buy these as a coffee table book?

Not all the comics this artist has ever made, but just these word ones specifically, a neat little pocket anthology kinda thing.

Pleeaasseee

If it’s added as already opted in, I assume they pop something up to make it clear what’s been added and enabled, and how it affects the user’s privacy, with a link to the settings to change it if desired?

If so, that’s not too bad, no.

If they added it and didn’t make it clear, or worse yet didn’t call attention to it at all, that would piss me off.

Skull and bones emoticons are associated with laughter now? Huh? O.o

It reads to me like they’re very embarrassed for their friend upon finding out they work at that company, a bit like I’d feel bad for a friend that has to work for Jeff Bezos or McDonalds or such.

My god, their planet is exactly like ours but they have labour laws! Quick Daniel, dial the gate! sprays P90

Middle class people worth 800 grand these days, and earn over 60 grand where you live? Damn.

Upper middle class maybe, sure, but middle class mostly doesn’t exist any more, mostly it’s people scraping by on a mortgage trying to act like they’re still middle class :-(

Fake bullshit.

Climate change is real and serious, fake nonsense like this just serves to undermine real information about the ongoing disaster that is climate change.

Ok, but who’s the scientist bloke and what’s he claiming?

Earth is flat? Aliens walk among us? Billionaires are lizards?

Why would I remove it? It’s encrypted and only readable in the phone itself, the only reason to remove it is to upgrade or moving to a new phone where it’ll be wiped and start from scratch.

No, it’s food preparation but nothing is being cooked.

You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it and try hard enough.

“we”

… Might help if we knew what country you were from, mate. Which dollar? Which country?

That’s so callmekevin of u

I’m feelin a lil callmekevin 2day I can’t go 2 school mum

Not enough of the mundane has been preserved throughout human history, it continues to be a big problem for historians. Especially when they only have major - likely very coloured or outright lies - official records of events and cultural touchstones to go on.

Why do you think we get so incredibly excited when we uncover something as mundane as the pricing artwork on an ancient Roman food stall? Because that stuff wasn’t preserved, nobody bothered to record such details, so much is lost because nobody thinks their place in history matters enough to bother saving it.

We’ve reached a point in our development where we now have the ability to preserve snapshots of our civilisation in great detail, with extreme ease. We owe it to ourselves and especially to future generations to do so.

This final solution is much better than the previous attempts, 10/10 very cool toaster

But where does the extra money and infrastructure come from to provide everything they need?

More people means more mouths to feed, more strain on the limited housing market driving prices and inaccessibility up, more capacity required at hospitals, doctor’s surgeries, schools, all public services (meaning everything from more doctors, nurses, consumables, locations, etc needed), and so on.

Where does the money come from to provide for the net influx of 500,000+~ people a year, a population increase of some 0.75%?

I’m not against immigration, welcoming people from other cultures with fresh ideas and outlooks on life is great and I love it, but the strain it places immediately on our already failing societal systems, such as healthcare, education, housing availability, job availability, etc, is very real, and needs to be addressed.
