A socialist organization of the economy, where everyone works less and less during the week as technology advances and assists, but doesn’t replace, the labor pool.

We also have to remember that we can only see a bounded sphere of the universe from our frame of reference.
If we were to move our observation points to elsewhere in the universe, we’ll be able to see more of the universe and challenge our current theories.
The JSWT sees only what it can, and our theories about the universe can only extend as far as that evidence. Those galaxies might appear to be younger, but the science is never finished!
Probably goes without saying

What a fucking clown. This motherfucker needs to be removed from his god damn office after denying from the people democracy like this.
These deadbeat politicians are sowing political upheaval, and sooner or later, the people will inflict their rage on the people that have caused their lives to go to shit.

I don’t think you know what anarchism means.
Also, governments can build infrastructure without supporting foreign genocide.
The Original Commenter (OC) of this thread isn’t saying they want to abolish government entirely. They are saying that government has been twisted and no longer represents the wishes of its people.

Bro, they’re making it illegal to wear a fucking keffiyeh. What a shitty fucking law.
People in the UK should protest en masse so that this damn police state can’t arrest everyone.

Welcome to every towel in a hotel
- Comment on If you have used this you are immune to all disease. 1 month ago:
So I’ve looked into these towel dispensers when I was learning about TENCEL and the company that makes it: Lenzing.
Companies in Europe can take the dirty towels from these dispensers, bring them back to their warehouses where they have massive drums for laundering, as restock hotels and businesses as needed. It’s a pretty solid form of circularity.
Then, when those towels reach their End of Life (EOL), Lenzing has agreements with these companies to accept the cotton towels for use in their production of TENCEL. The final fiber ends up being maybe 60-70% TENCEL (twisted cellulose) and 30-40% recycled cotton. Then that fiber is sold to make clothing, sheets, maybe even more towels (one could dream).
Paper it definitely cheaper in terms of raw goods and processing, but you can’t control the waste stream. Sure, you can have garbage bins nearby, but people can toss whatever they want in there. Having a machine run through the towels means the user doesn’t have to think of care about disposal: only use. Really it’s a form of extended producer responsibility (EPR) which is the holy grail of recycling imo. Plus cotton feels better compared to paper imo

The source that used brings is based on oral knowledge and communication. Others in that thread point out how that type of knowledge is not sufficient to make a scientific claim, and I would agree with that.
I’d say the jury is still out on whether dandelions are native to NA or not.

I agree. Maybe immigrating Europe or emigrating the US, but that does seem odd.

Good point
- Comment on Full Circle 3 months ago:
This is already common usage and I don’t see the need for any prefixes to the word.
As we’ve already seen in this thread, sometimes prefixes are needed to help establish the arrow of causation when people do migrate. Did they come to or leave from this or that country? Etc.
not the current english word.
Good thing language can change over time :)

people were immigrating from Europe
The linguistically correct term her would be emigrating from Europe.
to the US
This is immigrating.
emigrating to Europe
This is immigration.
from the US
The word you’re looking for is emigration.
emigrating from Europe
You’re correct here.
to the US
Once again, immigration.
immigrating to Europe
This is the linguistically correct use of the term.
from the US
Proper word would be emigrating.
Easiest solution is to say migrating
Migration by itself doesn’t indicate whether you’re referring to domestic-only movement, where people migrate from one city to another for instance, or domestic-to-foreign, or foreign-to-foreign movement.
It all depends on the boundary you set.
If your chosen boundary is Europe, people moving to Europe are immigrating there, and people moving from Europe are emigrating there.
If your chosen boundary is the US, immigration is moving to the US while emigration is moving from the US.
Since migration isn’t specific and can refer to any of the above cases, I prefer transmigration since “trans-” refers to “across” which I often interpret as “out from and in to”.
We don’t need to give up on prepositions in order to have more accurate language.
- Comment on Full Circle 3 months ago:
In my view, “migrate” according to Etymonline originates from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *mei which means “to change, go, move”.
I don’t believe this term refers to moving in or out of something, or any other preposition.
As we’ve been discussing in this post, immigrate and emigrate represent inverses of each other. It makes sense to look for logical ways to combine those.
I think the best prefix for this would be trans- for, according to Etymonline, this means “across, beyond, through, on the other side of; go beyond”. Specifically, I would refer to trans- as meaning “out from and in to”, which gives us the word “transmigrate”. Etymonline has a dictionary entry for “transmigration”.
