I’m not complaining about the cookies, I’m complaining that clicking the button while in google translate doesn’t make the pop up go away and take me to the article. The other links inside that popup work fine, so, dunno.What do you want to bet it's China?
Found an English article through axios https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/05/16/someone-somewhere-is-making-a-banned-chemical-that-destroys-the-ozone-layer-scientists-suspect/?utm_term=.e0a0bcfaa7f4
It also mentions that there could be an innocent explaination like an accidental release from old equipment, but it sounds like a continuous release. It’s something that has universal ratification, so, the implications of someone cheating are pretty high.
I hate to say it, but Texas has the right idea. If they fail two appeals, fry their ass. Or gas them. Or whatever, preferably something humane and painless. I'm a moderate liberal, but fuck man. Murderers and torturers and serial rapists. At what point does it become okay to live, when you're ruining MULTIPLE lives?Mostly just how expensive it is to kill them.
Imagine waking up one morning and finding a civil servant sleeping next to you.

Israel also shows itself with the marriage laws. e.g. an Israeli Arab citizen cannot legally co-habit with a Palestinian Arab spouse. This thus creates a barrier to Arab citizens bringing in a spouse. And in a law ratified as recently as 2016, Jews can be jailed for 2 years for not getting married by a state-certified rabbi. The clear intent of that is to ban Jewish/Arab weddings, e.g. there are laws to prevent Israel's Arab "citizens" from marrying Arabs from the Palestinian territories, or Jews from their own country. The goal here is to isolate and minimize the Israeli Arab population by preventing it from marrying people from outside its community.This kind of shit always ends badly.
Couple that with proposals to sponsor Arabs to emigrate, and longstanding policies sponsoring Jews to immigrate or bring a Jewish spouse in (something actively discouraged for Arabs). While also proposing laws to remove their language from official documents and contract tenders (thus making it harder for Arabs to get employment, and area where they already face rampant discrimination).
It's a type of ethnic cleansing, but the type you have when you know the cameras are rolling: implement a kafka-esque series of bureaucratic barriers to the sub-population from existing and getting along with their lives, all of which is exacerbated by the day to day prejudices they already face.
Watched a clip I regret watching.My dad once nailed by uncle in the forhead with a dart. He was lucky it did not end up like what you described.
Basically, drunk darts, woman challenging boyfriend to throw darts at a target above her head, she gets nailed in the eyeball.
No amount of brainbleach is getting that one out of my head, but adorable pictures would be appreciated nonetheless. At the very least, I may be able to stop cringing.

I always get yelled at to make small talk with my mom's boyfriend when we're at his place, but it's difficult.He sounds like a totally sane and reasonable person. Totally.
He was watching some alien conspiracy stuff, and trying to talk to him about it ended with him telling me to 'shut the fuck up', because only he knows the truth. Nikola Tesla is an immortal extraterrestrial who came to this planet 15,000 years ago to place countless death rays in our atmosphere.
Riding to work with my wife, saw smoke in the distance. Is work on fire?What kind?
No, it’s a massive cloud of insects stretching for about a mile. Lovely.
The word progress is rather like the word development. It has an implied goodness and benefit but when you really look there is so much one sided exploitation. People in the "developing" world don't call it neocolonialism for nothing.Progress was poorly named.
No, just incomplete, as ever it will be. Messy, too.
In probably the biggest social engineering project of our age, we're slowly, haltingly coming to terms with the idea that >99% of us are useless when compared to our machines and trying to figure out what a meaningful life looks like when we don't have a thing we need to do because only we can. One could say that we can no longer rely on the luxury of necessity and are trying to learn how to live without it.
The problem remains, how to find a working system to replace it that doesn't lead to abandonment of society and/or a creation of a dictatorship filled with even more problems, as flawed as capitalism is, it sure seems to work better overall than communism does long-term (See: Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Cuba ETC)Your thinking a bit to binary. Which is of course deliberately perpetuated by those that want to resist reform. The choice is not "Capitalism" vs "Communism." The reality is fixing things involves using what works and ideology be damned.
