Additionally, Chinese coal power is what provides and enables all of the cheap goods Americans can’t get enough of.

You mean like when they were claiming that the entire world was going to have Houthis begging for a timeout during the Red Sea crisis?

“Houthis about to learn why we don’t have free Healthcare hur dur”

Shit is worrying. I’m extremely ignorant to the science of infectious diseases, but at least from my layman’s point of view, it is extremely concerning how this virus went from exploding across the entire globe in wild animal populations, to now infecting cattle, to then infecting goats in such a short time span… It seems like it is progressively getting worse, and any one of these millions of new infections per day could be the one that mutates just right to be able to hop between humans.

I’m dubious of all the articles stressing the “risk is extremely low, so stay calm” sentiment. That sentiment seems less about giving good advice to make people feel comfortable, and more like a means to minimize panic - which there surely will be if this bug starts hopping between people, and that 50% lethality rate holds steady.

A bird flu pandemic would be less about social distancing, and more about huddling with a shotgun in your basement.

Tool Assisted Speedrun

Using a script to automatically press all the buttons on the exact right frames so that you can automate a speedrun.

How many genocidal deaths per month (under a dem administration) would it take for you to withhold your vote for a dem? 1 thousand, 1 million, 10 million? I suspect there is no amount.

As an electrical engineer who dabbled in RF in school, that sounds supremely difficult.

Heavy equipment also use the technology. Someone using this tool at a construction site could cause massive issue to 70k pound loaders using radar to detect personnel.

Yes, definitely all Kim’s fault. Never mind the 20% of its population that got slaughtered in the Korean War.

Haven’t there been talks of a link between mouthwash and throat/mouth cancer?

That’s not from the bill; that’s from a press release.

If it’s so black and white, then why are there numerous international councils, courts, and meetings where accusations of genocide are fiercely debated?

What you’re doing here is subtly shifting the burden of phone addiction from software companies and phone manufacturers back onto end users.

You’re glossing right over the fact that these teams have the very best software engineers, mechanical engineers, marketers, ad people, psychologists, and doctors for the purpose of making these endlessly scrolling apps as addictive and hard to avoid as possible.

I read your comment and think about the people who say “why are you depressed? Just go lift some weights. It all comes down to you”

Keir Starmer?

Everything I read about this dude characterizes him as abandoning left wing policy in favor of center, center-right policy.

4th paragraph of his wikipedia page

His leadership has been characterised by movement towards the political centre and abandonment of the left-wing platform of his leadership campaign, as well as by opposition to some of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues such as Partygate

I just think it’s strange for you to insinuate that the position of the left is that of Israel’s.

Who are these voices on the “left” that you say are supporting Israel?

I feel like war can be explained better than just the result of bad people doing bad things, and more so about contradictions. If, after all is said and done in this genocide, we are only able to deduce that the cause was bad people doing bad things, we aren’t doing our due diligence. We’d be better off trying to understand how the contradictions between Israel and Palestine such as religion, material conditions, age, ethnicity, geopolitical stances… made genocide the only solution for Israel. And more importantly, how to avoid it. Theres too much history here for me to wave my hand and blame some enigmatic force of “evil”.
