I didn’t know the difference so I looked it up: https://www.spinny.com/blog/index.php/awd-vs-4wd-the-difference-explained/

“I’d like to give them some fucking stimulus.”

If you want to insure yourself against capital flight go for a Land Value Tax. Let 'em shove a hectare of land in their luggage.

OK so it’s time to say the quiet part out loud: the reason that governments have so far held off on taxing billionaires at 1% or 2% is the fear that they might spend 2% or 3% against those governments in revenge.

The butter won’t make him fat but the pasta will.

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

If you’re browsing Lemmy, on your phone, in work then really you should be curating your feed a bit better.

It’s a scam and we shouldn’t be encouraging it. The thieves put the spikes up every day and then the crow distracts people while the thieves pick their pockets. The crows only get 15% of the proceeds.

With all the nonsense that there is in the world why this particular nonsense? Lemme tell ya: friend of mine showed me a graph showing that we had historically low levels of CO₂. Took me a while to catch on but it didn’t have the Holocene individually marked, it was mostly concerning the epochs before mankind arrived. So the argument is totally irrelevant to the discussion of greenhouse gasses. Unless… unless you could convince yourself that there were lost civilisations that existed in distant pre-history. Of course there’s absolutely zero evidence for these… must be a cover-up.

In the UK it’s always time to nationalise the losses, it’s the profits that are privatised.

It’s a funny thing, I used to a werewolf but I’m alright noo^oooooow.

Fuckin’ A.

Indeed.

Classic British liberal. A liberal is the only one of those things that he is.

Oh boy…

Can I interest you in a moist owlette?

Just have to make our globe working model dense enough to distort space-time and then spin it at a thousand miles an hour. 'Course this will require a working model of the sun to power the working model of the Earth.
