Im not old enough to remember any reporting at the time, but I have found NPR to be one of the best mainstream sources of news. These critiques are valid, but feel the typical leftist purity test
I mean, I agree that it’s stupid to not be an environmentalist, but it sounds like you’re criticizing NPR for correctly using the english language and adhering to journalistic practices
NPR is highly critical of [insert atrocity here]. I doubt you can find an example where they’re not.
That’s just how headlines work. “Experts say X,” “Politician says Y” – that’s inoffensive.
Environmentalist is a well-understood term with meaning. There are people who are not environmentalists. Yeah it is ridiculous that anyone isn’t
I have listened to dozens of stories on climate change, pollution, etc. over the years. I mean look up “NPR fossil fuels” and you’ll see pages upon pages of critical, factual reporting. I’m not sure they’re beholden to the fossil fuel industry - have any more info?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
I’m just thinking about the “take home” figure! 160k doesn’t stretch as far as I thought it did when I was a kid
Max out a 401k and IRA and lmk how much is left
(less than 8k/mo)

i get it, still sounds funny. I’d also remove the r-slur from your vocabulary 🤗
you can leave the retards out of it ^_^
Bishop finds concentration camp a bit uncouth and unseemly
it means “probably” 🤗
they forgot a single word, fam. why don’t you -
Sometimes things aren’t obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we’re all a little stupid.
There’s a balance to be struck.
And animal abuse :)

I think there’s a bit of both: poorly optimized/antiquated sites and a gigantic spike in unexpected and persistent bot traffic. The typical mitigations do not work anymore.
Not every site is and not every site should have to be optimized for hundreds of thousands of requests every day or more. Just because they can be doesn’t mean that it’s worth the time effort or cost.
