So much of that is misplaced anthropomorphism though. Throughout history hundreds of millions of people have wrung the neck of a chicken or dropped a lobster into boiling water. Almost none of them have cried.
TV melodrama is a weird way to decide which actions have moral weight. We're particularly sensitive to the deaths of mammals because we see human qualities in their suffering.
Exciting finale but I can't help but think the GC is a foregone conclusion if 3 of the top 6 are JV.
I guess we'll at least get to see Jonas and roglic sprint it out for the top step.
And most often high costs mean higher ROI. The wind farm doesn't get continued funding precisely because it produces electricity when supply is high and hence prices are low. Electricity is not worth the same at all times; you can sell your coal fired watts when the wind speeds are low and the unit price jumps up. Instead of trying to solve the hard problem of storing electricity to fill the intermittency gap, capitalism takes the easy way out of burning fossil fuels unless you force it not to by regulating.
Or you could read it as critical of capitalism.
"motivation, purpose, social skills, creativity" arguably all valued more under socialism/communism (admittedly there's a lot of semantics going on under the hood here). Which is why so much tallent goes to waste as grist in the capitalist mill.
That doesn't fit with anything I know about Weinersmith. You got any source?
They didn't leave enough runoff at the top because they couldn't have anticipated anyone coming to a mountain finish that fast. To make that group of favourites look that ordinary was special.
I mean it's fine if they need the money. Don't want only rich people being MPs.
Her statement is so tone deaf though. MPs are well paid and get pretty reasonable "loss of office" payments for their transition out if they contest and lose a election.
As if the couple of hundred tory MPs (most of whom are well off anyway) are anywhere near to the top of the victim list!
The schedule looks fairly easy IMO, so I think .500 is a definite possibility. Vegas has over/under 7.5 wins so it's not even so far from consensus. With the division the way it is even a playoff birth is not unimaginable, but thinking about that would definitely be getting ahead of ourselves. This is a see what we have in Love year.
I'm all about the unchecked excitement though GPG
Slightly sad the GC lot called it. What's in it for the underdogs? I get that everyone wants to stay upright but I also have limited interest in seeing people racing for a top 10 with 0% chance of winning. If you're rog/jonas/remco sure play it safe. Bu then you should avcept the chancers taking time on you, backing yourself to take it back later. But when the patrons force everyone to cool it and the rest listen they're just throwing in the towel and admitting they aren't even trying to beat the top dogs.
Fuckin ouch. Too close to the truth.
This is a story about the UK...
Your point makes slightly more sense if you're talking about the US instead. I still think it's silly to ascribe equal blame to the instigators of the idea and a party that fails to push the tide the other way because of inertia and political expediency.
I mean the centre ground if fucked over there, so you have my sympathy.
All true, but shock value anti-carnism of course plays on anthropomorphism, which is heavily baked into our culture with kids TV overwhelmingly featuring anthropomorphised animal characters and pet ownership being widespread.
I mean it's fine to point out that apparent hypocrisy, as the billboard campaign (where do you draw the line) in my country recently did. But it's not particularly persuasive from a logical perspective, just a useful cultural lever.
