Dude, it’s a party politics problem really, compounded by corrupt electoral bullshit like the electoral college, gerrymanderind and malapportionment. The two party nominees at any election have never been the parties’ best and/or brightest.

Welt ,

You just lost the argument, dipshit.

We’ve had enough Batman movies too tbh

I don’t get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.

Welt ,

Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn’t read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you’re an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)

Nice one, a bit like right vs stage right

Totally. The right hand I use to write with is not my right hand, it’s my left (averechts, if you will)

Varroa mite has entered the chat

Apis mellifera is a much better pollinator for most cultivars produced by agriculture around the world, so it’s been introduced into East, South and Southeast Asia too (and it’s pretty closely related to Apis cerana anyway, and they get along OK).

Also, you’re not accounting for species uniqueness, which is highest in Australia/NZ/PNG, southern Africa and parts of South America. These places also have native bees that are outcompeted and outright attacked by Eurobees.

The truth is complicated, but also simple - this invasive species we tolerate and even introduce because it massively benefits food production for humans.

Welt ,

You couldn’t be more reich about that

Welt ,

Because deer are also invasive and aren’t needed for cattle breeding. Not a great analogy

With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....

Sumo’s actually a crock of shit, they predicted it in Freakonomics and it was revealed a few years later, I was living in Japan at the time and found it very trippy. I still like watching fat men in nappies with waxed hairstyles throwing salt around a clay circle then trying to push each other out of it though.

Welt ,

That has always been an excellent idea. Russia, China and the US&A - then maybe some weird shit comes out of India or Korea or somewhere, that would be nifty

Welt ,

wait, that’s the right hashtag isn’t it?

Welt ,

You mean like Oscar Pistorius shoes? I think it would be really creative and extremely entertaining to watch. Better than this shit they’re blasting out to a disengaged populace these days

Man when I was hooked on online betting I made an immense wager on the outcome of a soccer game I wasn’t even able to watch. It was Omsk vs Tomsk, and I think I won it despite knowing nothing about soccer. Of course I was deeply in the red once I stopped such irresponsible behaviour

Menemen is a delicious Turkish breakfast dish made of eggs, tomato, paprika and some other stuff. I think that was the allusion.

More of a hormone, really

Plus, bears already have an open weight class independent of gender! Now we’re making real PROGRESS

I could train as hard as possible, for years, and I promise you I couldn’t beat a single woman in the WNBA on a 1 on 1 game.

Yeah, but we both know that’s because you’re a short-ass weakling, be honest.

Nobody’s making the obvious suggestion to chemically sterilise all athletes.

Having a bugger hanging off your nostril isn’t shameful, it’s weirdly impressive

Wrong.

My blood runs cold! My dignity has just been sold. nVidia is the centerfold.

Solid agree, but it’s so hard to persuade the brainwashed (let alone their capitalist masters) that the purpose of economic growth should be to generate sufficient leisure time to permit self-actualising activities for those who seek them.

A synthetic drug ravages youth in Sierra Leone. There's little help, and some people are chained (apnews.com)

In Sierra Leone, a cheap, synthetic drug is ravaging youth. Trash-strewn alleys are lined with boys and young men slumped in addiction. Healthcare services are severely limited. One frustrated community has set up what it calls a treatment center, run by volunteers. But harsh measures can be used....

Welt ,

Exaggerated handwringing, they overstated the extent and severity, and this article is probably doing the same

Except not a convicted rapist.

Can’t convict someone if their actions don’t break the letter of the law either

“jk, trolling”

It depends how you measure it, and what counts as ‘polluting’. Does broad-scale habitat destruction count? Because there’s a lot more of that in industrial agriculture. Also yields are prioritised over quality, so you’re literally not comparing apples with apples if you’re getting local heirloom varieties from nearby orchards, compared with apples grown in the PNW for the broader market and kept chilled until ready for sale. These are generalisations of course and there are staple crops that are much more efficient when produced with broadacre cropping.

They might just be in a better climate than you! I had far more delicious sun-ripened tomatoes over the summer than I could eat. More than six plants to be fair, but most self-seeded anyway.

Borlaug’s green revolution of the mid-20th century did lead to a rapid reduction in famines across Asia and Africa…

Welt ,

They worked out four-crop rotation during the agrarian revolution in the 18th century, they haven’t let fields lie fallow since they worked out how to rejuvenate the soil with crops like turnips that could become horse feed…

Because on face value it looks like an anti-abortion lyric.

I suspect it’s as ideological as Israel’s actions against Palestinians unfortunately.

Chest hurting sounds bad. Not a Dr but have Reynaud’s exacerbated by ADHD meds and haven’t experienced chest pain. Are you sure it directly follows handling frozen food etc? Could be related or coincidental - so many things can cause chest pain, from harmless but temporarily hurty intercostal pain all the way to cardiac arrest. Other details (weight, age, genetic history, other medications/treatments, smoking/drinking/substance status) also matter so it’s worth bringing up with your doctor, unless you’re in America in which case just ask ChatGPT.

Welt ,

Sounds like pressing on a nerve/cutting off blood flow, which isn’t usually serious

Welt ,

Booze is also a peripheral vasodilator, just sayin

Men are portable heaters that snore

How strange. Neurological? I have no idea, but hand warmers may help in the meantime! I’d be interested to know if anyone could please recommend a good heated mouse or mousepad when the extremities get cold working in the officd?
