Cooking on hot rocks (usually placed in a hole in the ground and sometimes also buried over) is a traditional thing across Polynesia, which is where The Rock is from. I don’t think the writers or show runners at the WWE are clever enough to come up with that themselves, but maybe it’s something he suggested to them?

Sadly not. It’s a weird bleached teeth pained grimace of a smile.
Perhaps. Or perhaps what uses more over a lifetime is an ebook that is bounced around from device to device which all turn to toxic e-waste after a few years, constantly communicating with always-on servers for account data and DRM authentication hosted in a data centre based in a region powered by fossil fuels. All while a paper book just sits on a shelf causing no further environmental impact - potentially for hundreds of years.
To be fair, nobody’s preference for paper books or ebooks will change the environment in any meaningful way - the problems are much more systemic and require radical action from an unwilling corporate and political elite that has been ignoring the problem for decades.
Data centres and “the cloud” are not great for the environment either. DRM forcing people to have their files constantly deleted and redownloaded makes it even worse.
Also, “support” doesn’t have to mean a direct financial transaction. Libraries operate a bit differently from a McDonalds. Even just going in and sitting in a library reading a book without ever taking it out can help to support your local public library.
That picture quality looks like the kind of footage the pentagon releases when they smartbomb a wedding or a hospital or the Chinese embassy, but they put an emoji face on the explosion.
Even more than it used to be. Canadian foreign policy regarding Iraq, Vietnam, and Cuba took a very different position to the US and was on the whole quite good (for a western country). But that was all decades ago. Practically speaking, Canada no longer has its own independent foreign policy.
Yeah, much like peanuts not being nuts and Stonehenge not being a henge, it’s all the fault of a small number of assholes a couple of hundred years ago who desperately wanted to redefine things so that they could tell other people that they were wrong.
Just to push back on the narrative about the protests 20 years ago failing: they did stop a lot of the client state sock puppets joining the war in Iraq. 2/5 of the Five Eyes didn’t go, and half of NATO stayed home.
i was shocked when I found out that The New York Times wasn’t a clock and watch fan forum for New Yorkers.
The original "keep America beautiful" ad you're joking about was a lone Italian man with a single tear. The biggest polluters in America that funded that greenwashing blame-shifting noble savage ad campaign hired a guy named Espera Oscar DeCorti.
