Depends on the cruise. There are some really expensive cruise lines out there.

1 is still possible. But, we're at a tipping point between ending up in some Cyberpunk corporate-ran dystopia and one where the general public actually has the upper-hand and can fend off governmental corruption.

Choose wisely. Vote every year, twice a year.

We already have it. Every year, we hit a new record in "hottest day of the year".

Blaming the public over corporations is the #1 reason why we are in this mess in the first place. For decades, the narrative has been "it's your fault and you need to change your habits". It is a pointless and useless narrative because nobody is going to actively change anything like that until they are forced to. Even when we make moderate, easy efforts to do stuff like recycling, the recycling companies bitch and moan about how they can't ship this shit off to China to let them do the work, and then throw away most of it, anyway. We PAY recycling companies to recycle this shit and they can't be bothered to figure out how to recycle it. We PAY THEM to take away materials to use in new products, not the other way around.

In every aspect of people's lives, you will find that corporations use up 90% of the resources that the general public use because corporations deal in economies-of-scale far bigger than anything a person or even a country can do. Corporations have been pushing the "blame the public" narrative to shift focus away from the decades of abuse they will continue to inflict on the planet. Corporation shit all over everything, and they will continue to do so in the name of profit. That is exactly what they are designed to do.

It takes governmental effort and regulations against the corporations to stop this sort of thing. They do it for clean water, and CFCs, and automotive design, and architecture, and many many other things. Why? Because a minority group of people who are struggling to make a living is never going to have enough power and clout as a large corporation or a government.

Nepal is a part of China? TIL.

Or is it that we shouldn't praise when South Asian LGBT+ news hits like this?

It may be a W, but it's still pretty sad that it's 2023, and this is the first South Asian country to do so.

Well, Reddit is practically dead, too. Just give it another six months or so of bad decision making, and whenever that IPO is going to drop.

This is Level 4 automation, and even it needs a human override. Can't override without a steering wheel.

I think this whole plan is just a gimmick to dangle that carrot in front of the public, fooling them into thinking Level 5 full automation is just around the corner, when it really, really, really isn't.

Well, mainly because Putin is rich and power hungry. He think he can get the USSR back together, one invasion at a time.

Why even hunt whales in the first place? Sure, it's one big food source when you snag one, but people who have tried whale say it's bland and uninteresting. It's just a bunch of fat. And it takes a lot of effort to kill it, haul it, parse it out, etc.

Fish farms give you much more good quality meat without all of the species endangerment.

Yes, it is rich. Rich people pretending to be responsible.

  • 16 - I'm allowed to rape and violate you

Who the fuck is this toxic person?
