If the year’s coldest temp was 1°C colder than last year and the year’s highest temp was 2°C hotter than last year, then even though the cold was colder, the overall temperature is still going up. The average and the extremes are very different things.

Did you think the vacation time he accrued as cardinal should have evaporated when he got promoted?

Too late; Netayahu already did it

Every incremental step along the way is immediately profitable. The thought process would be “Somebody will stop it from getting that far, and when THAT happens I’ll support the anti-authoritarian movement, but UNTIL then, all the other oligarchs are profiting from these incremental steps towards authoritarianism, and when the anti-authoritarianism kicks in there’ll be no further short-term profit opportunities to exploit so I don’t wanna be the only one who didn’t avail of them when they were available”.

Bystander effect/Nash equilibrium. Unless they’re ALL doing it, none of them want to be the ONLY sucker who’s forgoing short-term profit opportunities for the benefit of all. This is what government is supposed to enforce on them: forcing them ALL to support democracy.

At this point it’s just a signature calling card. Like the Wet Bandits leaving all the taps running. Ensuring that everybody knows who did it, without officially claiming responsibility, is intended as a power move to remind everyone that Comrade Major is always listening so toe the line

Are either of those details true or are you just spreading misinformation for teh memez?

Is that the one where the Latinos have mutated and are heating up the planet?

No, I assume what’s next is that countries which have slightly more coal reserves than Ireland will be next, and so on.

I mean, if the headline was “Rising sea levels cause flooding in Ireland”, you wouldn’t say “big deal, wake me when the flooding reaches Nepal”. Of course there’s going to be an order to such things.

Nobody mentioned the US though

It really surprises me that Sweden and Turkiye have so much interaction with each other. You’d never guess from looking at a map.

It still gives the bot the at-first-glance appearance of being a human user of long standing, though, which I assume would make the account saleworthy to bad actors.

Calling it now: Trump will invade Mexico before his term is up, arguing that it’s to “secure our borders” and that the Mexican government has “failed”.

Should someone repost the article so that it can be discussed and shared but the bot doesn’t get the upvotes?

Yep, the USA likes to complain about Europe being security freeloaders, but the only member to ever invoke Article 5 was the USA.

Yeah all governments have a tendency to sweep problems under the rug, but Japan are a whole other level. They NEVER admit to anything ever being wrong.

Nah, photos show a white guy. He probably had memes on his phone or sassed an ICE agent.

I mean, would we expect anything else?

Orbán does just enough for farmers to keep them voting for him. Keeping Ukraine out of the EU is part of that - if Ukraine were a member, Hungarian wheat prices would plummet.

What makes you think they will?
