The problem is that peace has been negotiated before, and what happened? This…

Israel has had enough.

Lived in southern Africa for 6 months. Primarily Mozambique but I was in SA a little as well as Malawi. They’re very racist, the Africans. My brother who was there as well was driving somewhere one day with a Mozambican, a good dude, and it came up that he wanted all the white people out of Mozambique. My brother is a red-headed white American. He questioned this Mozambican asking what about himself? “Oh, not you, we like you.” Its just how they think about things, probably going back to all the colonization that happened and all the ills or perceived ills that came from that. And so it’s easy to just keep going back to that idea as a society.

And for the record, they didn’t just want all the white people out. They wanted the Chinese out as well. And there’s tensions between the various tribes. Combine all that with low levels of education and extensive poverty and it’s easy for charismatic leaders to come along and pump up these ideas and get movements going as people see hope in the promises even when the results are obviously going to be bad.

Presuming the aborted baby isn’t a human… which is just wishful thinking by anyone who prefers convenience over morality.

Use natural fiber clothing only, no polyester, just cotton or whatever other natural fibers. Try to use less packaged food. But one of the major sources of microplastics is tire wear from vehicles, not sure what can be done about from a personal level other than not drive, which, I mean, who’s really gonna do that?

Lead is still everywhere. Many electrical cords, Christmas decorations, paint remaining in homes from the 60s and before, even the 70s and possibly 80s. Many tools still sold today, screwdrivers, drill bits, etc. Many fresh produce foods have the potential and often do contain unsafe levels of lead, yes, stuff you buy at the grocery store. Some spices. Stained glass windows. Paints on cheap Chinese or elsewhere toys and other goods. People get lead poisoning today just from living their life not realizing normal stuff around them is dangerous. For real.

Red Alert has a strong female character and is definitely age appropriate… :)

Basically, suspicion that the data was interfered with between the collection from the sensors and its posting, most likely by Russia or Ukraine. Interesting article, I remember all the talk about the radiation around Chernobyl when this first happened. Makes sense that Ukraine would be trying to spread this information like this. There will be a lot of stories that come out in the coming decades about what all was really happening in this conflict.
