Indeed it does. Should it include anyone from What we do in the shadows?

Consistency in naming the actress vs the character

There’s the other version, with Russia or China vetoing good things.

Truthfully I don’t remember what the reason was; it was multiple variables, but I don’t know what the variables were.

In any case, there’s vanishingly few of these trees remaining.

They’re also financing the sale of said picks and shovels based on the value of the picks and shovels the purchasing company bought last week. Nvidia does have value, but the way the finances work is deeply concerning

Obviously, no true First Nations person would disrespect their land, just as no true Scotsman puts sugar on their oatmeal.

I said be critical of everyone. Even - especially - the environmental organizations.

I don’t “paint all indigenous peoples with the same brush”. However, assuming their standpoint takes priority regardless of context would fit that description.

It has been many years since colonizers came and disrupted the way of life in Canada. It is importantly to think critically, whether the speaker is indigenous or colonial. More often than not, money beats out environmental concerns when humans are involved

If you’ve got enough employees that notices are tacked to a wall, and you’re not doing a million dollars in sales, you don’t have much of a company!

Shorter theatrical release times mean I can see more back catalogue in the theatres, right?

Right?

I think I read that these trees won’t grow again, because of climate change. They grew up in an oxygen rich humid environment and that’s not there anymore. Without these trees, the forests dramatically change.

A notice posted on B.C.'s Forest Operations Map website shows the yellow cedar was felled in an area where Matchlee Ltd. Partnership, majority owned by Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation, holds a non-renewable forest licence.

Remember this when someone says that the precolonial peoples should take priority in environmental decisions.

ETA - but also remember this when anyone has environmental thoughts. Follow the money!

Every rule is a barrier for “development” if you ask developers, every where, every time. I’m tired of their whining.

Big talk in the era of Tesla, nvidia, and OpenAI.
