Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.

Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight. Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago

Soltanov then described natural gas as a "transitional fuel", adding: "We will have a certain amount of oil and natural gas being produced, perhaps forever."

Azerbaijan pledging to limit emissions with one hand while striking fossil fuel deals with the other. Betraying the world to make a quick buck.

Also makes sense that they'd be delusional enough to think their gas money is gonna last forever. What does they think nonrenewable means? This isn't Minecraft where you can just keep digging basically forever.

The BBC has also seen emails between the COP29 team and the fake investors.

In one chain, the team discusses a $600,000 (£462,000) sponsorship deal with a fake company in return for the Socar introduction and involvement in an event about "sustainable oil and gas investing" during COP29.

Also, trying to imply there is any such thing as "sustainable oil and gas" is heinous. It will run out, if this money grubbing doesn't run us out first.

Considering the sheer amount of mis/disinformation we've seen in just our own media over the last decade (cough the NHS buses cough), I absolutely agree that we need the government to be putting more accountability onto online media sources (I.e. news publishers and social media platforms) for the mis/disinformation they allow to propagate through them, and to find more ways to increase the digital literacy of our population (particularly the elderly and children) so they're more resistant to it in the future.

Which is why I don't think it'll happen, because the Hague doesn't even have the enforcement capability to drag him there - nevermind actually punish him for everyhing he's done.

Don't worry - I'm sure in a few years time when our next election comes up, our population will have forgotten about the previous decade of getting fucked by the Tories, and immediately put them, Reform-UK, or some other alt-right party into power for round 2 just like you guys

To borrow @goatbeard@lemm.ee words, an economic disaster. The price of basically everything skyrocketed overnight, even basic essentials, which pushed swathes of people below the poverty line, and even today is putting increasing pressure in foodbanks. The effects of the Tories' complete mismanagement of Brexit, the Covid19 pandemic, and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine only served to compound the damage.

This cumulative Brexit damage and mismanagement is what finally got the Tories kicked out (which they should've been years ago if you ask me) - and while the economic effects have slowed down somewhat recently, prices are still going up substantially, and I think we're gonna be feeling it a while longer.

It annoys me to no end that we knew this would happen, economists literally predicted this economic shitshow during the referendum and +50% of our population decided to just put their fingers in the ears and shout racist rhetoric instead.

Man, makes me want to go back and play some Uplink. Shit's fire!

Well you see, this post is about the ways in a nuanced explanation is inferior to using the phrase "Dumb Fuck!" because it has to be specifically written for a post, can lead to an exhausting back and forth debate where you end up having to write more explanations, can often sound condescending due to the inability of text to carry the subtleties of spoken language, and the length of them can often be too boring to read. Of course simply writing "Dumb Fuck!" has none of these downsides, because it can be copied and pasted into almost any situation, is very hard to debate against, is very cathartic, and loses no subtlety in text versus spoken language.

Honestly using Infowars to raise awareness of gun violence in a satirical way with help from Everytown is such a middle finger to Alex Jones and I'm all here for it

Yes. And this story is indirectly related to one of those. Trump's 2nd Term will definitely have knock-on effects to the rest of the world, but it isn't like the rest of the world stops.

It's like back in the Covid Lockdowns - it's not like every other disease took time off because of Covid being in the zeitgeist.
