Err what? They bombed various countries in the Middle East (not just US bases) and even a British base in Cyprus.

Whatever the case, he's clearly a profoundly unempathetic person. If it wasn't premeditated, this woman died because this man could not summon any care for her at so many points in this story. That's just as sad to me.

Excellent video, has a lot more detail on evidence the judge decided to ignore (including the testimony from the ex girlfriend) when deciding his sentence.

That one anecdote about the woman who was told to dress super casually for a first date and found out she'd been invited to a fine dining restaurant is really eye-opening.

Men who do this are pathetic and it's really sad to discover that they behave this way at seemingly every turn.

This is incredibly outdated mate. Literally everyone I know does all the things you talk about. I don’t even really know where to start in response. You’re also conflating climate change action with environmentalism.

What are you trying to do here? Either you acknowledge the climate catastrophe and this is some holier than thou thing for you, or you don’t and you are the problem.

Voting is literally the only way to solve this. Nothing will happen without legislation to force the hand of greedy corps.

Maybe spend your energy trying to convince climate deniers to vote differently.

Not responding to climate change is hurting everyone's pocket. Home insurance premiums are obscene in some places. Energy insecurity due to reliance on fossil fuels sourced from overseas (particularly relevant right now with the US war on Iran and Russian war on Ukraine). Extreme temperatures mean we either spend more money on heating/cooling our homes or, if you're not wealthy enough to pay, you pay by having to endure the temperature extremes.

I've voted for parties that care about addressing the climate catastrophe.

It's obviously someone else's problem if that someone refuses to accept there's a climate catastrophe.

Developed rich countries are hurting. See the wildfires across North America, massive amounts of flooding across Europe, etc.

Nothing will change until many of the global electorate stop burying their heads in the sand. These people don't change their minds until things affect them specifically. Then they change their mind, and all their former fellows tell them they're brainwashed.

This doesn't change until nearly everyone is affected, and by then we're so far into the catastrophe that the consequences don't even bear thinking about.

I love Josh's blog and writing. I have to wonder what place this kind of content has in an age where agents are writing all the CSS. It sort of feels like hand tool woodworking now - there are people that will still get a kick out of designing things themselves, but it's going to be much less common. Maybe it already was like that anyway.

Scroll used for discrete steps (especially when the transitions are animated) is very frustrating and confusing. Would be much easier to use this if you had to tap (mobile) or press a key (desktop) to initiate a transition.
