50% of what Thanos considers life since it was powered by his will. Since he seemed to imply that nature (plants and animals) where not part of this it's safe to assume it was sapient life only.
Hahahha people with different interests than me suck
Random internet guy called it. Pack it up boys we're going home.
Because car companies send lobbyists to Congress and pay to influence bills.
There is a law in the US that says trucks must meet a certain Miles per gallon fuel economy. But there is a loop hole that says trucks over a certain size are not included in that law. So as long as the trucks are ridiculously big they don't need to worry about their fuel economy.
Edit: it's the CAFE law.
It's important because it shows exactly what they stand for in legal writing. Yeah it won't pass but it's still good to note.
This is entirely dependent on who you are. My wife just had the highest court of the land tell her she has no medical privacy. Sure, right now it 's on state by state basis, but that can change. Every member of the supreme Court said under oath they wouldn't overturn precident and yet here we are. I have no worries that anything bad will happen to me due to legislation, but I am a white cis male. My wife isn't. My best friend is a POC. My inner circle is filled with nonbinary and poc. All these people are actually being affected by the "culture wars" in very real and tangible ways. Feeling like it's all okay right now must be coming from a very privileged and secluded position. Having held multiple people that I love dearly while they cry because their rights were stripped changes your perspective on a lot of things.
Electric vehicles aren't meant to save humanity. They are meant to save the car. If we removed all gas vehicles off the road right that wouldn't even stop 30 percent of emissions. The only way to save humanity at this point is to stop capitalism. As long as we continue to expect the market to find a solution to a problem that has no profit motivator we will never save humanity. Elon included.
My guess: This guy, and all his rich friends have a ton of money invested in commercial real estate. He's putting his own interest before the interest of his company. The more people work from home the better for Zoom, but the worse off he and his rich friends are.
Americans have been shown again and again that hard work doesn't mean more pay. Add to that housing costs have risen to a level that has become unattainable to many even if you were to double their wages. You find yourself questioning why work beyond the minimum if all that stress and time loss means you are not getting any further in life than had you just done the bare minimum.
Fuck karma and check marks. I want anonymity back. I want the old internet. This "social networking" shit is lame. Lemmy doesn't need Twitter or reddit level of success. Look where that has got them.
Oh that's that new "x"?! Tell me about it?!
Be excited people are joining your hobbies. Without people hobbies die.
