I guess I don’t understand your thinking.
Supposedly, Every snowflake is unique. Therefore Being a snowflake means you are unique.
How does being a snowflake imply that you’re being just like everyone else?
We tend to buy a new set of clothes because our kids grew over the last year. We buy shoes. We buy everything our kids need to be ready for the upcoming school year. It’s not just school supplies.
the headline says that Meta lost 4.5 billion in the 2nd quarter. Also the article says they meta lost 3.9 billion in the first quarter. I think that is an a 8billion dollar loss in 6months.
Unless I’m mistaken on the accounting, You shouldnt count a full years salary when comparing it to a 3 month loss, because meta has only paid 3 months compensation during the 2nd quarter.
Using your numbers
( 17,000 x $100,000 )/4 is $425mill. In salary paid out in the quarter. Although software and hardware engineers at meta make way more than 100k/year.
flushable in the us means it can go down the toilet. However, Wastewater treatment plants have to remove these from the wastewater, as they do not break down the same as poop, or in same case they don’t break down at all.
hopefully the Aussie government has define flushable differently than the us.
It’s very expensive problem. At least in the USA. My spouse works in waste water treatment and hates “flushable” wipes with a fiery passion.
Us centric link, so it may not apply to you in Australia. https://wiser.eco/flushable-wipes/
Paying ransoms like this, should be illegal. These assholes just made it worse for everybody else.
“ Security researchers have discovered the largest ever publicly known ransomware payment and warned that multiple threat actors may look to copy the tactics of the Dark Angels group that received it.”
I looked up the wiki article on the flag. It looks like it is a Christian symbol. At least according to the article.
“The Fleurdelisé takes its white cross over a blue field from certain French flags of the Kingdom of France, namely the French naval flag as well as the French merchant flag. Its white fleurs-de-lis (symbolizing purity) and blue field (symbolizing heaven) come from a banner honouring the Virgin Mary;[6]
Well, based on my research, Statistically you have roughly the same odds of dying in a car crash anywhere in the world.
“ Globally, more than 1.35 million people die in car crashes each year. ”
“ United States, approximately 42,795 people died in traffic accidents in 2022.”
1.35 mill deaths per 8billion is .00016875 chance of dying
430000 deaths per 350mil deaths is a .00012286 chance of dying.
I think the reason auto deaths are not in the top ten out side the us demonstrates that people are dying in higher number doing other things.

Honestly this is the kinda news people share when then want us to lose hope in our candidate.
“Biden told a key ally” who then apparently ran to tell the news media? What kinda key ally would do that?
