You are right, but I don't think it is just the fault of the media, this is how the human brain works. No one is losing their minds with fear at dull but distressingly common causes of death like heart disease and car…
The US also has a higher bar for what constitutes slander/libel than the UK, which can also have a chilling effect on speech.
The CCP isn't 'responsible' for the people under its boot. It is their lack of responsibility for the people of China that has led to this problem. You act like the socio-demographic situation is not the direct outcome…
We are? I suspect many of us are trying to trick ourselves as much as everyone else.
Energy use is a factor, but not the only one; this article has a concise list of why desalination isn't an easy answer to solving the earth's water needs... currently, anyway.…
Yikes. If a wild animal wandered by and damaged your source of livelihood, I doubt you would espouse a similar view.
That is... really complicated. 'Just improve their standard of living bro' isn't a real solution. It's like saying we can prevent murder by systemically renouncing violence and becoming a more peaceful society. This is…
I think you are right, but why is the DOE saying something that appears patently false- are they indulging in hyperbole knowing they won't be called out? Are they drinking their own kool-aide?
George Washington Carver is a personal hero of mine. He faced all sorts of hardship and still sought to make the world a better place.
It would be magically convenient for all the people he had blackmailed over the years.
I mean, the macro-organism does, in fact, die. It's an unusual way of recycling biological matter, but not a ticket to immortality. It would be akin to if we humans started budding fetal organisms when we died, which…
This gives me the heebie-jeebies. I repair machines for a living, and the idea of smashing a complex mechanical system just to vent seems so alien.
"Not to blindly defend Bitcoin, but it seems like a tropical storm would inflict just as much, if not more, financial loss than this decision." I know you are just theorizing here, but c'mon. By embracing Bitcoin they…
As a long-time SW fan, I can't do it anymore. Book of Boba Fett was so plodding and awful I am washing my hands of Disney Wars.
Well, I feel sorry for them. Fertility issues are no joke.
Protectionism, nothing more.
A general rule of thumb is a movie needs to make back double its budget to recoup after-filming costs, like advertising, ect to start turning a profit. A $363 million return on a $200 million flick is not a good return.
The woman was re-selling a bootleg copy from the 80s, and that German court came down on her like a bag of hammers. So glad we have these kinds of idiotic copyright laws that let huge artists and corporate goons step on…
I think that is what we need to figure out. I think our current method of vaccination was a clever hack, designed to do something in the early days of the pandemic. I think there were good reasons for this, too: a…
The Atlantic article says, and I quote: "microbiologists can’t even agree on what an infection actually is." This seems to have the sole aim of shutting down discussion, basically throwing up one's hands and saying 'who…
That article strikes me as largely playing a semantic game. From the article: >The classic tale of sterilizing immunity unfolds something like this: A pathogen attempts to infiltrate a body; antibodies, lurking in the…
>Probably naive to think we could totally eradicate it within a couple of years, particularly as far as vaccine fearmongering is concerned. Would be nice to see it join Smallpox and Polio though. We would have to…
If you are worried about microagressions and subconscious biases then you are already hand-wringing about the wrong things. Being truthful, polite and hardworking are what matter, not specifically how you situate your…
Most law exists to punish lawbreaking, and courts enforce those laws; they do not directly legislate what is or is not evil. The laws reflect the mores of society, and courts are typically not called upon to make…
