Money saved on k9's is money for some super ugly Oakley's dude

Devils advocate: retiring an old service dog means you'd need to invest in training another pup which is way more expensive than titanium teeth and dealing even with animal cruelty complaints and/or lawsuits. Also "bleed blue" fanboys will see this as badass, so its free PR.

As a mortal/moral person advocate: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

My first reaction was, "her?". But the more I read on (until the paywalled) the more I liked the idea. Her Younger audiences must feel alienated & dejected by the popular discussions on climate change. This could reinvigorate a newer demographic into action instead of apathy/doomerism.

I just wish they don't dwell on "every little helps" BS and hold big corporations & governments responsible to make a change. Not sure if this article mentioned it, its paywalled. 🤷‍♂️

Aah yes wait for the racist boomers to die so young-uns will outnumber them. A cunning plan!

Yeah take no creative risks get no box office rewards, simple as.

And megalopolis wasn't a risk, Coppola fronted the $120mn so they're going make money on that flop.

Hoback argues

In any case, says Hoback, the identity of the real Satoshi is a matter of public interest. “This person is potentially on track to become the wealthiest on Earth,” says Hoback. “If countries are considering adopting this in their treasuries or making it legal tender, the idea that there's potentially this anonymous figure out there who controls one-twentieth of the total supply of digital gold is pretty important.”

Currently bitcoin or any block chain based currency is more of a grift than financial freedom. However countries like El Salvador have taken it up as official currency, so real lives can be affected by whoever holds that bitcoin stockpile.

Most definitely. It was purely economic than militaristic. EU companies are generally seen as superior just for being from the EU in Asia.

This is a very insightful comment, thank you. I absolutely agree with most of your points. Though one minor disagreement I'd have: it wasn't Trump who brought on the waning of US soft power, but US's failure in Afghanistan/Iraq/Yemen during 2nd Obama term.

Ultimately the expense in forging the US influence overseas during the Bush era came at the cost of ignoring those back home. Trump capitalized on all that resentment. In fact he still is riding on it. Coinicdentally Its a lesson Modi needs to learn from his recent election result at home too.

Sidestepping the whataboutism of US support of Iserali "invasion", the US/EU soft power is clearly waning in the East. Sanctions are only as effective as long as everyone is willing to comply.

Is this... Gain?

Lol true, but then again if you leak papers about Pentagon's secret program, you'd be Snowden-ed or worse.

Your loss
