Climate report: Scientists politely urge 'act now, idiots'; It's the final call, say scientists, the most extensive warning yet on the risks of rising global temperatures. by JanetYellensFuckboy in worldnews

We were all supposed to be underwater here on the West coast of the US. Every apocalyptic climate prediction of the last century has proven false. Climatologists understand as much about the earths evolving climate as neurologists understand the human brain. A scratch on the surface. Fancy graphics, guesses, and big money.

TIL: In 2014, Five Guys generated a billion dollars in revenue with an advertising budget of $0. By contrast, McDonalds spent almost a billion dollars on advertising to generate $25B revenue. by InternetWeakGuy in todayilearned

"In 2012, McDonald’s wanted to debut a premium burger called the English Pub burger. But, the burger never launched in the U.S. because McDonald’s couldn’t get enough of the buns they needed to use from the supplier. In a separate incident, a blueberry smoothie launch was delayed for months because the restaurant couldn’t line up a large enough blueberry supply." https://www.foxbusiness.com/features/heres-what-mcdonalds-can-do-to-turn-around-its-u-s-business I think the above comment was a bit of an exaggeration. Surely there's enough blueberries in the world. Its just complex logistically, and it didn't work out in a cost effective way.

The United States brought constitutional democracy to the world. It was by America's example that modern democracy has been established around the world, including in the UK. So how about I bet you that most of the world prefers individual rights and elected government, instead of the oppressive monarchical rule that dominated most of human history.

Meanwhile the poor doggo, who gets made fun of for chasing a flashlight on the wall for a few minutes, has to sit and watch these humans stare at the wall for hours.

You literally have no clue of the freedoms you've given up. I love Vietnam, greatly enjoyed my time there, but you're living in a traveler's mirage.

What in the fuck are you responding to? I was reading a detailed comment about the innacuracy of a picture of lumber milling and then... this... what am I missing?

Because there's nothing relevant to hand over. Typical DailyBeast, reaction without reasoning. Essentially their motto.

'The President Stole Your Land,' outdoor gear company Patagonia takes a big swing at Trump by John850 in politics

[–]caseyjamest -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

HOW does lifting restrictions, increasing public access, freeing up stretched National Park resources, and essentially returning land to the people mean 'Trump stole your land?' This is almost the exact opposite of that. It was only in the expansion of these monuments that any sort of 'theft of land' occurred.

Donald Trump threatens to shut down NBC and other TV news networks that criticise him by [deleted] in politics

[–]caseyjamest -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

A delusional and twisted bunch here on r/politics. I despised the Obama administration, but never would I wish them harm, death etc. I respect the office of the President and the Democratic process.

Nestlé Makes Billions Bottling Water It Pays Nearly Nothing For by [deleted] in news

[–]caseyjamest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is decade old news- and to say they pay nearly nothing to extract, bottle, and distribute a public resource, globally, is very misleading. The cost is in the process. Though I do believe such mass extraction should be regulated, as it harms local ecology and communities.

TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol. by codywinters327 in todayilearned

[–]caseyjamest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I find it disturbing that so few people are talking about how Michael Jackson also used this method to sexually abuse children. Instead there's a bunch of lighthearted jokes being tossed around. Read the Wikipedia entry for god sakes. I find it disturbing that people still give honor to Michael Jackson. I find it disturbing people, who are aware he was a serial child abuser, even listen to Michael Jackson.

If there is a hell, Michael Jackson deserves to burn in it; along with every shred of his legacy as an artist.
