chuymatt@startrek.websiteto science@lemmy.world•Glass bottles found to contain more microplastics than plastic bottlesEnglish22·4 days agoYou make a lot of them. They are flat. They get painted, they get punched out, (this is where the ‘magic’ happens) they get shuffled around to load into machines to put them on the bottles, they go through the machine and they get clamped to the bottles.
There! Instant plastics!
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto Politics@beehaw.org•ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. CitizensEnglish6·4 days agoMeh. They were brown. This is just the ramp up.
I was damning Gates with my faint praise.
Oh, I don’t disagree. The how to his billions should be scrutinized heavily, which is what I was pointing toward with the last sentence.
As for his net worth, he has currently pledged (last month) to give it away before he dies. His now ex wife still has an impressive amount and his kids no doubt have massive trusts to their name, so they will not need to work for anything (a disservice, I think).
Again, I just think he is using his massive wealth in a more altruistic manner than the majority of the wealthy, which does not do away with his historical moral character.
Y’all need to get some reading comprehension. I’m not defending but damming by faint praise.
Can ya calm yer shit down and quit being a condescending ass to another person? Is that at all possible?
This is a change from what his plan was previously and was just announced last month. If you could read, I have not once defended the guy, just pointed out a difference between him and others. That’s it. He has always been a conniving schmuck and billionaires should not exist.
This is a recent statement.

Again, not saying he is a good guy. Just better than other billionaires.
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto Europe@feddit.org•NATO demands more than 5% of GDP for defense instead of dialogueEnglish3·4 days agoOh, up front costs are less, long term costs would be much more.
Well, he is trying to give away ALL of his wealth before he dies now, so he has that up on other billionaires.
Now, as for how he ended up with those billions…
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto Europe@feddit.org•NATO demands more than 5% of GDP for defense instead of dialogueEnglish18·4 days agoNot really. Putin’s negotiations have consistently been in bad faith and leads to more aggression.
While I would love for actual diplomacy to work, it seems to be viewed as weakness by folks like him.
Man, I wish talking would work.
But who made them unstable?

False knees has some beautiful art and Al’s has put some of their series into purchasable books.
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"English2·8 days agoI’m super confused. I have seen a few episodes and found it enjoyable, but my wife watched the whole thing g and really liked it. Discriminatory? Please explain?
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC RedditEnglish111·8 days agoDepending on the situation/ location, it is truly possible. During massively busy times, I have employed these services. It absolutely can be a big process, especially with younger children and 2 jobs.
In everything he has done
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•California Gov. Gavin Newsom is floating a federal tax boycottEnglish1·15 days agoI love it.
And, yes. I have noticed that. I also noticed that once their funding from Russian sources was noted they backed off quite a bit as well.
chuymatt@startrek.websiteto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD thingsEnglish2·15 days agoThat man is also personally a shite guy. Heavily abusive to his kid.
