The compass rose on the globe is how you tell the time. The earth rotates like a normal hour hand, and the minute track rotates 390 degrees per hour to keep the minutes aligned properly with the compass. So in my photo, the time was 6:44.
When I look at the weather app on my phone and it tells me of an “excessive heat warning”…. Yeah.
It really fucking sucks that the auto industry lobbied the US government so goddamn hard in the 30’s - 70’s and got so much of this country built on car centric infrastructure while also systemically dismantling countless forms of public transit nationwide too. Most major cities and metropolitan areas used to have a pretty comprehensive streetcar system, yet where are they now? That’s right, manufacturers like GM bought majority stakes in those companies and then had their infrastructure dismantled all in the name of “progress.”
Somehow, that makes perfect sense. I’m not even a little surprised by that
It would take millions, if not billions of people to band together and make drastic changes for there to be any measurable difference. The largest offenders are all mega corporations that simply put quarterly profits over ensuring their impact on the planet is minimal. Without those corporations changing their business models permanently, no individuals lifestyle choices will ever matter more than a small fraction of a percentage point.
Hasn’t this been known about for decades at this point that with less and less polar ice the ocean currents will be less and less effective? But as per usual when it comes to climate change, no one that could make an actual difference gave a shit, so now we’re seeing what scientists have warned about for decades. It fucking sucks having to be here, seeing all of this transpire, knowing that you’re helpless to stop it
Exactly. But the “blue lives matter” group only formed as a counter to Black Lives Matter so 🤷🏻♂️
It’s those damn LIBERALS trying to take away MY RIGHTS. ILL DO WHAT I WANT stares into sun for an incomprehensibly long time
I hope Nintendo actually makes this a huge step up from the Switch we’ve had since 2017. The OLED switch was nice, but it’s what the switch should’ve been from day one.
Oh and dear lord PLEASE let them fix the joycon issues. I would love to play my switch more in handheld mode but because both of my joycons have drift, it’s impossible to play in anything but docked mode with a pro controller.
