For Harris, yes. For Biden: just “not anymore”. Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.
Bolivians don’t need CIA approval to plot a coup
I’m pretty sure they’ll do increasingly farcical votes for some time after.
NDA, not BJP, got 293 seats
And here I am with 35 days, which we’re expected to take.
“Made unusable”: that’s not how it works. Even with occasional vandalism, there’s so much more people positively contributing, that overall the map just keeps on getting better and better.
It won’t, but at least you’re not part of the problem anymore. You might inspire other people to. And every person who goes plantbased makes it more politically viable to enact policies to encourage plant based over the most destructive other foods. Try to avoid discouraging people who try to do the right thing, help them make a bigger impact instead.
Didn’t they have 3% economic growth last year?
I get the reasoning, but not a single country has ever been kicked out of the UN for having crazy/terrorist/genocidal leaders. So why should having a palatable government be a criterium to join? And anyway, I thought Hamas only controls Gaza. The West Bank is larger, and has a slightly larger population, and it is controlled by Fatah (AFAIK). So the seat would likely end up under Fatah control, no?
I don’t know, there’s lots of things I would risk doing at home that I wouldn’t try on a spaceship. It’s also a metaphore that can hopefully speak to the kind of people who think a fresh planet would be the solution.
No matter how much we fuck it up, this rock will always be more liveable than anything we can realistically find elsewhere. This planet is our spaceship, we better start treating it like one.
Ironically, De Croo was also criticised here in Belgium for that speech being way too soft.
Buffalo weren’t eaten to almost extinction. And they don’t give birth to 10 calves at a time.
That’s just convenient defeatism. People are part of societies and are sensitive to choices others make. It does not save the sharks if you stop eating shark fin soup. But when there was a campaign against shark fin soup in China, and people actually chose to eat less of it, then that does have an impact on the shark population. Things can change surprisingly fast. It’s just a drop in the bucket, but we’re several billion people dripping into it. The collective impact of significantly reducing animal product consumption is important enough to try for it.
In general, drop the “this is a nonsense solution, we should do this other thing instead”. We need to do all the things to survive this. Focus on making others with the same goal stronger, convincing them to do this other thing too, instead of ridiculing their efforts.
…any economic system that does not take externalised costs into account. This is not unique to capitalism.
If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don’t knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect
