We need a cult of mental health.

Some Home Alone extra.

But OPEC propping up prices is actually them reducing production, isn’t it?

No puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet!

I mean, they are sending a convicted felon against a former prosecutor.

They are not sending their best people, as many people say.

To be frank, the Trump campaign was also only hurt by policy, they literally are trying to distance themselves from their own program.

This is beyond stupid.

namely the countries that got upset, or companies that come from there.

I guess the point is that the rich countries and companies are actually happy with this outcome, since less of the pesky NGOs that bother them in the same country can attend.

The point is, contrary to how the article wants to portray it, or you are portraying it, it’s not the rich countries or the companies complaining, but the NGOs fighting for climate conscious policies in those rich countries. They say that this makes it so that the rich countries can control who can go to the conference and who can’t. So this actually helps those rich polluting governments and companies.

Why?

The actual title is:

Bigger share of COP29 badges for Global South NGOs upsets rich-country groups

And the opposing argument is that the reduction of badges for NGOs from Western Europe et al. effectively makes it so that the governments of the countries with the largest emissions can control who gets to observe the conference from their respective countries. This is coupled with the fact that fewer people can attend in the first place than last time, since the venue is smaller.

To be honest, I don’t know who’s in the right here, but the article definitely feels like it’s taking a side, and the editorialized title makes that bias worse.

I think more observers, and a larger venue, could be justified for the biggest climate conference of the world. I think this event should be more important than “you will own nothing and be happy” Davos for example.

Mr Internet Explorer will be horrified when he learns of COVID next year

Apparently Trump hates the movie. It might even be fun.

I guess that’s how they make a lot of money, selling their own Confluence plugin.

Sell their TLD before they evacuate as their island goes under water? Or that’s just Tuvalu?

Double middle ear infection, couldn’t let my head tilt to either side for three days, or absurd pain ensued for an hour.

How did I sleep then? Exactly.

Yeah, why would my boss even have my phone number? There are corpo comm systems for corpo business.

In some companies I’ve worked at, it was even illegal to text each other outside said corpo systems. It made a lot of things clean and easy.

In a lot of places that would let you claim overtime pay for all that time.

This thing.

The assumes that the US Democrat-Republican spectrum is indeed a straight line in that space, and they are diametrically opposed.

Non-US politics is more complicated than “left vs right”.

And the ad industry, considering half of all consumer internet traffic is ads.
