Both can be true.

The inability to use words to say stupid shit does confer a certain air of wisdom, however.

I mostly agree with you, but “eh, who cares?” isn’t the moral high ground you’re trying to portray it as. I guess good for you for not raising your blood pressure over this stuff, but there are genuine reasons for criticizing the capitalist consumerism these minor celebrities push on their followers. Even if mkbhd’s product in this case is virtual, it’s part of a culture of unsustainable overconsumption and wealth hoarding. It’s fine for you not to care, but that’s not a more enlightened position, it’s just apathy.

Someone who goes to casinos would come to the same conclusion, thinking that the surgeon is ‘running hot’.

“alleged ‘oppression’ of Palestinians” is a pretty good line too.

Came here with the same question

I wouldn’t say it’s surprisingly easy. It’s possible, but it comes with substantial costs. Paris is throwing a ton of money at some of the solutions you’ve mentioned and the results are meager at best. Hopefully they’ll improve as time goes on.

Give it a few years and a few more heat waves, all the people living in old buildings which are too expensive to insulate will be getting ac. There’s no getting around the basic need for fresh air, no matter old habits and environmental costs. I’m sticking to ice packs and cold showers for now, don’t know for how much longer though.

As far as Paris is concerned, we’re actually extremely ill-prepared for high heats. Parisians have the highest risk of heat-related death in Europe. Hardware stores are packed with AC units every summer now because people are forced to start using them. Luckily we’ve had terrible weather so far this summer, fingers crossed it stays that way.

To be fair the supposed point of the snap elections is to make the far right seem impotent by forcing them into a divided government (which is already a terrifying “strategy”: just give them the keys to the building and hope for the best?) They’re just refusing to play that game. The fact that the president is playing around with the country’s future like this is a fucking unconscionable disgrace.

No, you must always throw the other half away.

You’ve got the right idea though, PCR is usually necessary before electrophoresis in order to amplify the sample being tested so that it will give a legible result.

I think probably all people dismiss what is obvious to them as not needing to be said, and for good reason: why overburden a conversation with obvious truths. Though given that we’re all just apes with a superiority complex, we’re probably entirely wrong about what’s obvious or true 🙈

I CAME HERE TO WRITE THIS.

Wait. Didn’t?

I think it’s just anger about being out of touch. You can’t make comedy in a vacuum, it necessarily draws on contemporary culture, and Jerry’s probably feeling a bit left in the dust. But he frames it in a way where he feels victimized. That’s my reading for most embarrassing or offensive old comedians though, so maybe I’m painting with too broad a brush.

Huh weird, I guess remake must have messed with my memory

Seems right up my alley but there’s a snowballs chance in hell of me coughing up that much dough for it. Good on the devs for finding their market though.
