To be fair, the dye they used to use for Red M&Ms was banned for being a suspected carcinogen in the 70s.

Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.
If they accept climate change, it means they have to acknowledge that their actions helped cause this and it means they need to change their behavior. People aren’t good at either but most Boomers especially suck at self-reflection.

The Poles have quietly been building one of the largest militaries on earth. They’re not trying to let themselves get conquered or partitioned again. I don’t think it would take much for them to go eagerly to war with a belligerent Russia. More likely Russian’s next conquest will be against small and vulnerable countries like Georgia or the Baltics if they can get NATO to crumble (or Trump goes to war against NATO over Greenland).

I think the South Korea military would triumph over the North Korean military but NK would cause substantial civilian casualties with the large amount of artillery it has along the border.

The sad part is that Trumps base will see this and writhe with glee. They’ve been spoon fed American Exceptionalism so long, they can’t understand that there were reasons for our success that aren’t “we’re great” or “foreigners are dumb”. Since they consider Europeans second rate and everyone else trash, they’ll take this as a win while utterly oblivious to the way it accelerates Americas decline.

“Just talk to them like people.”
You went on a long tangent but didn’t ultimately actually conflict with this posters central argument. The most sexually successful guy I know has tons to talk about, isn’t afraid of striking up conversations, and treats women like real people. Over time that has translated into an abundance of sex.

I never had money or a science degree. I just watched Cosmos as a kid, devoured documentaries, and read articles on wikipedia all day.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it’s talent in the last several years. There’s almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

I agree

When recycling first started where I live, we had multiple bins. Paper, and i want to say metal/glass and plastic. Plus garbage and yard waste. But I’m refering to the fact that paper by itself faces additional sorting prior to recycling.

Biggest misconception by far. You can’t just “melt it down” like you can with glass or aluminum or steel
- Comment on This Plastic Mr. Fantastic 3 months ago:
In most countries, recycling paper only made financial sense if they shipped it to poor countries or used prison labor so it could be inexpensively sorted thru. Traditionally it was China, but they stopped accepting it. And letting microorganisms do what they do consumes less resources like electricity and less industrial chemicals.

Important to note that recycling some things makes sense, like metal. And recycling glass makes sense but sanitizing and reusing bottles makes alot more sense. There’s also been a push to compost as much paper product as possible since that makes way more sense than recycling paper. Our green bins now take any brown cardboard with no tape and pizza boxes.
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 3 months ago:
Assuming it was going the speed of a reversing truck, it would still pick up speed when it got close enough to earth. Less destructive than hitting at 25,000 miles an hour but still pretty destructive

This phrase is the basis for enforcing an equal society
This is the basis for having an equitable society. If someone needs insulin to stay alive, they have a greater need and receive greater resources so the quality of their life doesn’t diminish. Some people have needs so great that with an equal share of resources they would just die as their equal share would be insufficient to their needs. Should dialysis patients just die or also have their needs seen to while maintaining a reasonable quality of life?
There is no situation where a caste system results in a more equal society
This is a weird tangent you went off on that’s unrelated to my comment

Eh, I’d wager alot of these people got seduced by self-righteous outrage. It makes people feel good about themselves.

You’ve never heard of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”?
You should look into Leftism my dude

That’s “the stock market”.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 3 months ago:
It doesn’t need to be equally. Some people wanna distribute based on need. And some people think if you work extra, you should get a little extra in return.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 3 months ago:
Money not controlled by anyone has historically been stores of value used in barter rather than money used for retail purchases as we understand it. Even precious metal coins.
