That’s not really comparable. China bulldozes through land with little regard for the societal or environmental impact. The UK is a place of natural beauty and has laws against doing that. It’s right that we have proper surveys and planning permissions needed for this sort of thing, in my opinion!

Predictions on when we’ll rejoin the EU?

I’m guessing by 2035 we’ll be actively negotiating a rejoin.

Have you actually tried Sync? It has significantly better UX than the alternatives currently, and the feature list is unparalleled (I’ve really missed being able to filter out specific users or communities from my feeds).

Sync has been around for a long time and has loads of customisations. If only you’d bothered to go through the settings before giving up, you’d have been able to make Sync your own.

Don’t read anything about the game.

Just keep at it. It doesn’t hold your hand at all, and you might get frustrated. Just give it time. If it clicks for you, you’ll experience one of the best gaming experiences of your life.

He’s from a rich family and has tried acting, singing and politics to get famous. None of it worked, so he’s resorted to playing the ‘right-wing grifter’ game. A decent base believes he should be able to say anything he wants on twitter without consequence, and that’s the base he’s playing to.

Whilst generally I agree with you, I disagree with this defeatist mindset when it comes to eating meat.

I think you’re underestimating how big an impact the meat industry has on the climate, and you’re underestimating the power “regular people” have with regards to eating less.

The meat industry exists because we eat loads of it. If we eat less of it, the meat industry will become smaller as a capitalistic reaction.

And no, I’m not a vegan. I eat meat every day because (and this is not a valid excuse) I’m a bodybuilder and eating loads of chicken every day is an easy way to get protein. That said, I do believe that 200 years from now society will look back at our consumption of real meat as barbaric. Synthesised lab-grown meat will happen eventually, and sadly it’ll probably take that for society as a whole to change. Hopefully humanity will survive to see the day!

These weren’t even what we called “memes” back then (closer to twenty years ago).

These were image macros or caption images. A meme back then was usually a phrase or saying like Over 9000 and other crap like that.
