Baffled that sustainability is seen as optional; survival shouldn't be a niche interest. Appreciates a good otter. Northern. He/him.
Just like the way Katy Perry's full name is Kathleen Perineum. Which is why you find her next to an asshole like Bezos.

It's a twisted version of the truth - some schools have what amount to litter trays for when kids are shut in a room for a long time hiding from an active shooter. Ironic that the people who warped this into anti trans thing tend to be the same people who object to gun control.

Yes, that kind of association offers the same priorities as tenant-owned. The problem is that many apartments are neither, they're owned by private landlords who see any investment as detrimental to the profit that's the purpose owning the apartment (as you say, failing to understand investments)

It's another American "it's impossible" argument that evaporates when you look at existing systems overseas. In the Netherlands, densely populated urban apartment districts have charging points in on-street parking places. If we can have streetlights, we can have EV charging.

The US has always treated its allies as disposable inferiors. The difference here is it's being said overtly.

Ah man, that's genuinely big of you. This is social media where people often find it hard to climb down from where they've put themselves. Appreciated.

You might feel that tattoos aren't wrong & that the Lord doesn't condemn you for it, but if so you're at odds with His decree in Leviticus. If you can ignore that then surely other people can ignore its other decrees, & you don't get to say we must abide by its prohibition of homosexuality.

I've literally given you chapter and verse.

Leviticus 19:28:
"Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."

As I say, it's curious when a Christian goes large on Leviticus condemning homosexuality but ignores - even denies - the same book's forbidding of tattoos, prawn cocktails, & wool-cotton jackets. It shows that it's not religious faith, just bigotry looking for a rationalisation.

Leviticus 19:19
Keep my decrees. Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

Leviticus 11: 10-11
But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins & scales -whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water - you are to detest. Since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat and you must detest their carcasses.

Leviticus also bans eating shellfish, getting tattoos & wearing cloth made of different kinds of fibre. Funny how the bigots just want to observe the bits that oppress women & queer people.

Fesshole is about unusual occurrences. There's a big leap between 'that's unusual' & 'I who wasn't there can declare with utter certainty that this didn't happen'. And there's seemingly no end of tedious unimaginative smug anuses who just love making that leap

There's that, with a direct line to his climate denial. He's always been like one of those overbearing dads your mates had, so full of themselves & always looking to concoct a gotcha so they can strut & crow about how clever they are. But his stuff has real dire consequences.

Complaining about virtue signalling is itself a form of virtue signalling, usually practiced by selfish bigots.

I think the term #virtuesignalling was invented in a political science think tank in 2016.
It presumes to know the motives of the subject to be vanity. It's designed to attack people doing good by supposedly exposing an ulterior motive. It works for observers who can't imagine actual altruism.

I loved the Care singles, such bright, smart pop, and the B sides were sparkling with so many ideas too
