The rich Tories who stand to make bank off it being that way. Who would've thought it's a bad idea to let the rich decide things for the masses.

It keeps looking more and more like the Tories are going to get their way as they keep knee-capping the NHS over and over again with a stagnant budget in the face of ever rising costs/demands.

They want to make the NHS shit to incentivise people going to private, so they can justifying privatising more and more of our NHS, until we end up looking like the US.

Honestly, fuck the Tories

That's kinda the point though. Outside of a true vacuum or a literally perfect anechoic chamber, you won't get true silence anywhere. There's always something, even if you can't consciously perceive it.

Getting pure water is easier than true silence, but it's still not something most people will encounter in their life - and basically anywhere else you can get water on Earth will have some level of minerals in it, as such that background flavour is the flavour of water...

And like with sound, everywhere has it's own flavour of water.

He's doing his best to give tips to the other narcissists out there - after all he learned from the best, himself

I know right. NDT may be passionate about science, but the guy is way too far up his own backside to do what Sagan did... Narcissists aren't inspiring to anyone but other narcissists, to the rest of they're insufferable.

Oh I wasn't implying most of these people have a plan, beyond simply believing they'll be able to buy their way out of the consequences or that they'll die before shit really hits the fan.

It's less evil and more just the worst combination of greed, narcissism, and stupidity.

Problem is the people in power saying that first part know/think they won't have to face the consequences of climate change, as such they only care about the short-term gains.

Capitalism will only solve problems where there's a profit incentive, and there's very little incentive to solve climate change until it starts unavoidably harming profits... By which point it'll be too late.

Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe in

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen't Google a lot of money.

I genuinely have to wonder if Musk is intentionally trying to kill Xitter, because if he's actually trying to recoup his "investment" he's going about it completely the wrong way

I feel like in most cases if a product has such bad reviews that it kills the company that made it, there's a good reason for that.

Of course there are exceptions, and it is expected that a reviewer do their due diligence to make sure they're giving an honest, accurate, and reasonable review, but no company should be shielded for being told their product isn't good if it isn't.

Actually "rationalising the pipeline" would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money
