Fantastic news. Every major destination should commit to banning these monstrosities until they all disappear.

Hoenslty it’s a better way to cross the ocean than planes, climate wise

Not at all. This article is 17 years old and planes have only gotten more efficient whilst the same old cruise ships continue to so the seas.

Plus a more recent article

This is green washing. Making planes burn less fuel is nice, but it doesn’t change the physics of burning them St high altitude.

The only way to fix that is to burn lower to the ground. Ships will always be more environmental friendly way to cross oceans.

Source please? This is not how my understanding of physics works

itchy_lizard ,

Literally read the link above. They mention the issues of nitrogen oxides exponentionally fucking up the atmosphere when burned at high altitude, but they they totally leave that out when calculating only co2 in the conclusion

I cancelled when they first rolled out their test. Cheaper to get a VPN and sail the seas again.

Let’s just list the 4 things that wouldn’t be a declaration of war against Russia.

Corporations bank on the fact that the majority of people would rather complain than go back on what’s convenient for them. This was obvious from the start.

If they ever start instituting ads regardless of membership tier, then it’s back to buying discs for me. It’s just going to turn into another cable service eventually.

The account I share with family still works, but the second it doesn’t… it’s the pirate life for me

TheRedSpade ,

Same here. As soon as my mom tells me she can’t log in, I’m cancelling.

Drusas , to worldnews in Fast grocery firms doomed by French dark store ban

Article doesn't even bother to explain what "dark stores" are. What garbage. The BBC usually does better than that.

Send Kissinger to Cambodia. If he comes back alive, send him back.

Not just a rapist, a child rapist.

As convicted by a jury of his peers (in a civil case) and confirmed by the presiding judge. Never again should we mention his name without the words “convicted rapist”.

Well I wasn’t one of them. I canceled mine.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said the incident had “shamed India” and that “no guilty will be spared”.

And you can believe him because of the great job he did with the Gujarat riots in 2002.

Son_of_dad ,

I don’t see how this shames India anymore than it is already. This type of story is way too common out of India, and I won’t accept the population size as the reason. Sadly it’s one of the countries I refuse to visit and know that the culture won’t change in my lifetime

Modi, imo, has no problem with angry religiously motivated mobs, so long as it’s the Hindutva people committing the violence. He’s just making the noises the expected noises for the sake of propriety - don’t expect anything to change markedly.

Some people really have nothing to do with their lives, do they? They don't even need racists from abroad when they can kill and discriminate against each other.

sun_is_ra , to worldnews in Egypt president pardons rights activist Patrick Zaki and lawyer Mohammed al-Baqer

Background for those who don’t know: ElSis came to power after a coup against Islamic regime . hehass only military education with no knowlage of economy, politics, diplomacy nor even ability to speak any language beside his mother tongue. Despite that he has massive ego as well as mentioning he communicate with God.

His policy for solving all internal problems is imprisoning / killing while forgein policy is mostly focused on trying not to piss anyone off.

Al-Baqer was a lawyer for a very prominent Egyptian figure Alla Abdul fattah. A well educated, well known activist (both in politics and in promoting Linux / open source). Anyway, AlBaqer was arrested while being in police station with his client Alla Abdul fattah.

The charges are standard and unified for all political arrested: abusing social media channels, joining terrorist group, spreading false news.

Patrick George was arrested for complaining about cases of oppression against Christians. Same standard charges.

Why they are being released is because elSisi is becoming weaker and weaker as the economy is taking deep dive to oblivion due to lot of bad economical decisions from his part

Isn’t Kissinger a war criminal? Why is he meeting with foreign leaders?

He’s American. They can’t be war criminals for some reason.
