Planned Phase-outs of Gasoline/Diesel Cars
  • Everything past 2030 is a kick the can approach and is not actually being pursued by anyone with any genuine effort. The people that made those pledges know they probably won't still be working in 2035+. It's not actually their problem, it's the next guy's problem. And if they don't lay the groundwork or create steps for the next guy to meet their promised goals... Well, that's also the next guy's problem. They know they'll be happily retired or in a different position by the time those promises are supposed to come to fruition. And if they're not, they can just shrug and say something about a changing economy, or point out how no other country is meeting their goals (because again, almost no one is actually pursuing this in good faith), or, what's more likely, just never bring up or acknowledge the goal again and hope everyone moves on/forgets.

  • Pi Day
  • say you finish 3. in a race

    Who would even type it that way? When talking about position, the suffix isn't ignored, either in text or speech.

    As for fractions, they are just that; fractions. Divisible portions of a whole, so different rules apply to them. They can be in the plural sense as in two halves, or 3 quarters. But you don't have a plural dates of the month, unless you're counting multiple years. And in that case it's month first. Like, if you were comparing this year to other years, you wouldn't say "this was better than the last couple 4ths of July". You'd say, "this was better than the last couple of July 4ths"

  • FUCKING LANDLORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I've encountered exactly 2 good landlords in the numerous places I've lived. The first was a small family run set of apartments that they themselves lived at. The second was a retired professor in a college town that owned like 3-4 different properties and rented to students.

    Every other one has been shit, although property management companies are the fucking worst.

  • Do you run the water while soaping up in the shower?
  • We need to save the planet, that's why you need to put a giant plug up your ass! Why? Well you see, Methane is a serious greenhouse gas, and despite your farts being miniscule compared to the massive releases from factory farms and other industries, eVErY liTtlE biT HeLps!!

    You should really just not question it and live your life with this painful inconvenience because we all need to start somewhere. If everyone across the nation were to just start wearing a big butt plug at all times, we could reduce methane emissions by a whole 0.1%! And no, before you ask, the factory farms and other industries won't be doing a damn thing to reduce their emissions. So lube up that bussy honey, you gotta get into that green mentality, it's for the planet!

  • Vote out the career politicians who don't really give a shit about you
  • Let's say I make a banquet with lots of different food on the table. Some of its good, some of its bad, one of the dishes is lukewarm, unflavored yoghurt. Now let's say right before everyone sits down to eat, I remove all the dishes except for the lukewarm, unflavored yoghurt. Is everyone who then chooses to eat the yoghurt doing so because it's the one they like the best? Or did they not really have any other options?

    This is the primary you believe so accurately captured the wishes of the American public. Fuck off.

  • What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2?
  • So that's a pretty interesting question, because you're asking for a modern RTS which doesn't quite exist. It's not that the RTS genre died, it's just kind of evolved into two separate paths based on what people enjoyed from those games.

    For those that liked the fast action, APM, control of units, MOBAs have mostly filled that role.

    For those that liked planning out and building a huge base, there are a bunch of base/empire building games.

  • In Seattle, a rich guy strangled a man to death, and cops seem eager to let him get away with it.
  • "Hey! Are you trying to break into my car? Stop!"

    "Don't tell me to stop! I'll fucking kill you man! I'm going to fucking kill you!"

    Just one of a million different scenarios where confronting a person breaking into cars might turn into that person turning violent and trying to kill the one confronting them.

  • When you finally get to watch Discovery and realize it isn't actually an enormous pile of mugato dung
  • For me, it wasn't so much the diversity, it was that everyone seemed to be struggling with their diverse identity. It's the 23rd century, people should not be uncomfortable with their identities anymore, ESPECIALLY the crew of an advanced space ship. It just seems that rather than a professional crew that we see in every other Star Trek show, they decided to pack this one with a bunch of high schoolers struggling to figure out who they are. For fuck sakes, the ship itself starts having an identity crisis at one point.

  • Biden's performance has been exceptional where it matters: It's the economy
  • Have you heard of executive orders? Sure he can't do it directly, but imposing a 100% tax on corporations/individuals buying more than a certain number of residential properties? A large tax on rental income from residential properties? Quit acting like he's powerless.
