I don’t like the balloon analogy because it suggests a center but everything is moving away from everything else. It’s more like infinite balloons being blown up at once which only works because the universe is infinite. It’s more an expansion than explosion. That’s how I’ve always conceptualized it anyway but happy to be corrected
That’s just a list of conventions? I could have looked that up. You’re talking about a specific one right?
Can you site something for what you’re talking about?
Because it’s relevant to the region you’re looking at and I’m pretty sure the UK hasn’t taken a firm/legal stance either way. Also not sure how your comment is supposed to relate to my point? Mexico doesn’t have any more right to tell other countries what to call the Gulf than the US or any other country that’s totally outside of any sane jurisdiction
You’re probably connected to a US access point or have cached map data.

It is labeled Gulf of Mexico in Mexico and the name doesn’t mean they own it. This is almost as ridiculous as calling it Gulf of America in the first place
It already does
US policy doesn’t get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction
It shows gulf of Mexico outside of the US
There’s no such thing as bad publicity; if there was, Tesla’s owner wouldn’t have been able to throw up two nazi salutes at the inauguration and then be given access to all of the American people’s personal data.
Look at Tesla stock it’s literally dropped >20% since he did that. You’re literally giving an example of how it does. “No such thing as bad publicity” is not a real thing. The Hindenburg didn’t help the zeppelin industry.
It does hurt Tesla. People don’t want to buy a car likely to get vandalized. One incident won’t make a noticeable difference, but if people think it’s okay to vandalize them it absolutely would hurt sales regardless of your opinion of the morality of it
Going from doing nothing to something one day a week will have dramatic effects. But didn’t expect it to happen overnight or to have the same effect as going 3 or 4 times a week. Even just doing however many pushups you can once per day is a very good way to start condition yourself so you can handle and enjoy getting into a gym eventually. Sit ups are pretty trash. Six packs are made in the kitchen is a common adage for a reason. If you can’t work your core any other way I’d suggest planks over sit ups though. If you can, get a pull-up bar and power blocks. I would strongly recommend intending to get to a gym eventually though. From personal experience having a home gym was a bit of self sabotage
Cook, shower and then I’m exhausted AF.
This probably because you don’t exercise. Exercise gives you energy and is an excellent anti depressant. Starting is always the hardest part but you’ll have more energy the rest of the day.
And more than anything, even what you’re doing, stick with it. Results take time. You’ll have days you think it’s doing nothing, you’ll miss days and think what’s the point of starting again, you’ll be disappointed with rate of progression and that’s always the biggest test.
I think it’s more an attempt to replace income tax since it acts like a sales tax like they’ve been drooling to do for years but now they don’t have to say the word tax
Seems like an appropriate use of the tech
Spooky
Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people
The Bush family, the Clinton family, they wanted Michelle Obama
That’s how an oligarchy works though. A few powerful people, usually dynastic families, decide how the country should be run. You’re giving an example of oligarchs picking an oligarch. How is that evidence of monarchy rather than oligarchy?
Because I’m whining to people that agree with me or something? I don’t know what you’re trying to say because not a lot of people seem to agree with me on this so that can’t be it
An article claiming Musk is failing to manipulate his own project is hilarious regardless. I think you misunderstood why this appeals to some people
