Irrelevant. I call my manager a cunt to his face at least once every in every 10 minutes of interaction I have with him. If I didn't, he'd probably get worried something was wrong. Whether or not this woman is telling the truth about her working conditions, any boss who fires someone for something as trivial as telling them they are a dickhead deserves a quick sharp boot in the hole.

I'm particularly fond of the Lustau, I think it's the best Irish whiskey with regard to quality for price. They're all good. Be careful with the cask strength :)

I'm Irish. Jameson is a decent cheap whiskey. It's still cheap. As it happens, my mentioned preferred tipple, Redbreast, is made by the ssame company.

That's more down to style than price I think. Not familiar with Balvenie, did a quick Google and see it's an unpeated single malt, so I'd probably like it too; I mostly drink pot still whiskies, like Redbreast. I know people who love their Laphroaig, but to me it tastes like a mix of bog water and listerine. For someone who doesn't know whiskey, they'd probably be better off with something cheap like Jameson than either Redbreast or Laphroaig; they're probably going to pour coke into it anyway.

Climate denier science illiteracy is irrelevant.

You can always pick a different center for the Mercator projection to illustrate the difference. Try this one: Mercator with massive Africa

On my first Honda here, a 2013 Insight. The only money I've spent on it outside tax, insurance, fuel, and a yearly service since I bought it 6 years ago, has been tires and replacement wiper blades.

Not entirely sure what to make of that response. Obviously sarcastic while referring to carbon credits, could be a climate science denier. More obvious sarcasm saying you feel better when I point out it isn't as bad as the title suggests, suggesting you are saying it is still bad. I shouldn't be replying to this, but you are fucking annoying. Completely useless and ambiguous sarcasm. Allow me to be clear about my position; climate change is real, it is caused by humans, we should try to stop it, and big tech are contributors. That doesn't mean you're allowed to just make shit up. Facts matter, accuracy is important. The title of this article, copied from Reuters, is incorrect. If you allow sloppy journalism to slide, you are encouraging the denialist rhetoric claiming deliberate falsehoods by people who actually give a fuck about reality.

No they didn't. Read the goddamn report before making your article title Reuters. They rose TO 150% of 2020 levels in 2023. Thats a 50% increase, not 150%.

I would love to, but I can't think clearly with that whooshing sound.

I would argue with you about your assumptions, but you are an American, so given your support of genocide I would be wasting my breath.

You obviously haven't been watching the news.

Leave god out of this.

Yeah sure, as long as they aren't also exporting the profits. There are these things called international corporations involved in mining.
