Reply to comment by debzmonkey in TIL It takes 20 years for clothing to be considered "vintage" and today’s most sought-after vintage styles are ‘90s and early ‘00s by Ok_Copy5217
Look at the Spice Girls for things on the pop-y side (overly tight-fitting clubbing clothes with belly ribbed sweatshirts) and the show Friends for clothes on the preppy side (everything is too big on guys which includes polo shirts and straight-leg blue jeans). Button-up shirts that are unbuttoned with crazy patterns and colors and a tee underneath.

I can see the styles of the 60's, 70's, 80's, and some of the 90's have a place in revival aesthetics, but the late 90's and 00's were just trash.

Reply to comment by dinosaurs_quietly in World to face wars over food and water without climate action, EU green deal chief says by YoanB
I would say there are significantly higher % of non-billionares who care about the climate crisis than % of billionaires, but that's not the point. The point is that 1 billionare in a capitalistic system has millions of times the power to change the dynamic on how we address climate change than the average person does. We could have 10 million people march on D.C. to pass legislation that gets us moving toward a more sustainable future, but 5 billionares could determine what is in that legislation because of their lobbying power. It makes regular people feel powerless.

I'm not sure if you're missing the point here or for unknown reasons protecting billionaires. These companies make billions in profits. Profits are after all employees, bills, and taxes are paid. Many corporations don't pay their employees enough to eat or be housed and then make even MORE in profits. I don't really care if the CEO's net worth is based on nonsense stock prices, they still have WAY too much and don't pay nearly enough in taxes.
The point was people with a ridiculous amount of money are not worried about the effects of climate change because they think they have the wealth to protect themselves from resource insecurity.

Reply to TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney
I still think we should have stuck with egg birth.

I guess we better give up then since this one part of many hasn't been solved yet. Then the example is "my decades-tested ICE vehicle lasts longer than one of the first EV trucks ever on the market". Yeah.
