United Nations, 2019: Helping 800 million people escape poverty was greatest such effort in history, says Secretary-General, on 70th anniversary of China’s founding

oh these poor people just snapped out of hatred for capitalism

This is like the silly rationalization some religious people have for atheists, that we’re just angry at god.

Anime characters & zoomers use the T pose to assert dominance, while tradespeople show their ass crack.

I have no idea what the cost, efficacy, or availability of this product is. https://hydrocell.fi/en/air-cleaners-carbon-dioxide-filters-and-dac-appliances/uniqfresh-air-cleaners/

The only maintenance required is changing of the activated-carbon filter every six months, and replacement of the HEPA filter every five years. In normal use, the carbon dioxide filter cassette has a lifetime of at least 15 years.

Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings

We examined the impact of indoor plants on air quality parameters in office environments, focusing on relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and CO2 concentration. Our findings demonstrated that, while indoor plants significantly increase relative humidity, they had a negligible effect on indoor air temperature and CO2 concentration in the offices we sampled. This suggests that while plants can enhance comfort in dry indoor environments, their role in regulating temperature and CO2 levels is limited.

I guess I’d need to invest in a CO₂ scrubber.

These claims include that when the former Vice President was in office, he engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and individuals tied to Ukrainian energy firm Burisma.

In other words, they “conspired” to state facts about Hunter Biden, Burisma, and the “big guy.”

I think/hope this is a good piece for those whose minds need a few things spelled out for them in order to expand beyond their personal, colloquial experience.

My first time reading about dialectical/historical materialism was a funny experience, now that I think about it. It was mostly spelling out my own understanding of the world to me. I could have saved a lot of time if I’d read them decades ago instead of reinventing the wheel.

The Financial Times is the pre-eminent British bourgeois rag, and the City of London is a common & apropos metonym for the haute bourgeoisie.

You could talk to chat bots guilt-free I guess.

I think POLITICO Pro’s target demographic is gormless middle management & turbolib political wonks, not us.

Fediverse graybeards always knew how Bluesky (and Threads) would play out. We know multi-billionaire Jack Dorsey belongs to the big club that you ain’t in.

There’s the smoot, though not everyone finds 5‘ 7” to be an exemplary height for a man.
They can get off my lawn.

I have friends who actually are autistic

Then ask them, not pseudonymous randos on the internet.

Oh, you’re right. I should have read it first 😅

The embedded YouTube video is some quality deadpan humor. I Tried The $2000 AI-Powered Board Game Sex Doll

The reason I don’t have tattoos is that, even though intellectually I know that I’m not going to live forever, at some level I still think I’m going to live forever, and I just can’t commit to Vanessa or anyone or anything else for that long.
