He'll have a vibrant, living (if somewhat uncomfortably warmer) earth on one side and a desolate barren earth on the other and he'll give one of them a rose from the garden and that will be the future of our planet sealed ... after the break!

Economists who study regulation as a subject probably have some operational definitions but at a general level is basically a useless category.

Well, to get of the road even a bit more... the Legislatives Job is regulation. Laws are regulation

Unfrozen Siberia will want to boost its tourism industry once global warming hits hard. Would Trump being there benefit or harm tourism?

Does Trump cause more good or more harm wherever he goes? Someone would have to make a strong case for why either Siberia or tourism are different.

I thought my question was silly enough that people would know that I wasn't being serious.

Yes in a few 100 years after the swamp it creates from all the melted permafrost dries out.

So don't act guilty. But don't let them stare at it all day either. Just casually find some excuse to look at excel, or your text editor, or whatever, then switch over.

3rd rule: if my avatar or similar is on the screen when caught, ignore rule #2 and just switch over immediately. Your co-worker will ask what that is and you'll have to explain 2p2 - which is much worse than just getting caught switching. Once you have to explain 2p2, that coworker is forever tainted. If that coworker is your boss, you're ****ed.

Man your third rule is full of newb mistakes. Newb rule 1, remove avatars if 2+2ing at work

Anybody who has to have some mention of "truth" or reference to it in their Twitter handle is normally ****ing with you.

Conservative papers going with the '#actually, we're the leaders on climate change and we should leave Paris because it doesn't do enough' is so goddamn tilting.

Actually you can get by just with some good google skills, since pretty much everything you could ever want to do in Excel (or any MS Office app) are either in easy to follow articles or YouTube videos.

For that matter I'm not sure what isn't. Flying lessons maybe?

See Also; Obamacare is terrible because it isn't single payer. SOP for republicans is to ruin things then use the fact that things are ruined as justification for ruining them in the first place.
