If they’re as smart, communicatable and capable of social responsibilities, then yes. There are some species that may be “differently” smart as humans, but lack a common lanuage and can’t take on shared social responsibilities, so giving them rights is difficult to say the least.
Also, as far as resource costs go, planting tree is more efficient at capturing carbon then any industrial scrubber. Research should still be done, but anyone trying to sell a scrubber plant is just fishing for VC funds.
No political will promote slowing the economy down even though that’s the simplest, most straightforward way to slow our pollution output. Our stockmarket and retirement plans are based on infinite growth, which is unfeasible even without climate change being a factor.
I know a bunch of trekkies, a fandom around a post scarcity, pseudo communist utopia, embrace crypto despite it being an artificial scarcity concept that doesn’t really fix any of the issues of the preceding system. I make fun of them whenever nfts come up, including posting any negative nft news into the humor channel of their discord.
They’re not really right wing. Very suburban, sheltered and privileged, but I’ve never heard them talk politics. I can say extra privileged because one of them wanted to put an Battlefield sound board in their car. Sure, that’s what you want. Making it easy to accidentally make the sounds of gunfire if you ever get pulled over by a cop because your taillight is out.
As far as star trek goes, they’re rather talk about the power output of the phasers then character arcs. They’re very basic.
Japan exported about $600 million worth of aquatic products to China in 2022, making it the biggest market for Japanese exports, with Hong Kong second. Sales to China and Hong Kong accounted for 42% of all Japanese aquatic exports in 2022, according to government data.
Because the color gradient is relative. A large enough banana would also light up. Also exposure time is another factor and this will dissipate very quickly. You can play it safe by abstain of seafood and swimming for a week.
Give up. You could post an article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner and it wouldn’t be good enough. Hell, I posted an English translation of a Chinese article about the arrest of a Chinese LGBT author and it wasn’t good enough.
It’s not the 1st time a language/tool will be lost to the annals of the job market, eg VB6 or FoxPro. Though previously all such cases used to happen gradually, giving most people enough time to adapt to the changes....
Yes. This is the downfall of every powerful man who surrounds himself with yes men. His advisers probably told him that if they invade Ukraine, the leadership would flee and he could install a puppet. They didn’t expect him to actually do it.
Right wing vs left wing has always been relative to the status quo. Capitalism was left wing when feudalism was the norm. And now Regulated Capitalism is left wing compared the norm of Unregulated Capitalism.
The people who are bothered by OP are making imperfect the enemy of good. What they’re proposing is still progress.
And you wont get enough allies to get anything done. This is what Divide and Conquer looks like. It’s only a half measure if you stop at the first accomplish. Let the populist get a taste of a social safety net again and they’ll want to push for more the next time.
Either everyone should have guns or no one. At least if everyone has one at home, these schizos might think twice. Just keeping a shotgun over the mantel place would be enough.
What do you think “queer shit shoved in their faces” looks like? Have you looked at modern marketing and how most of it assumes you’re a heterosexual looking for/keeping a partner?
Right, they’ve been terrible for years. Buying up companies, firing the old guard and pumping out shove ware versions of the games. On the consumer side, broken games, no polish, annual release games that are just reskins of the previous one, DLC/micro transactions, shutting down servers while there’s still a strong playerbase.
If I saw a poll for worst game company in 2013, it would have been an easy pick from me. Nowadays, it would be harder, but only because the other AAA studios have all gotten shittier since then.
Does this happen? I think I’ve only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.
The energy would come from the trolley. The people would launch out at approximately the same speed as the trolley interacts with them and the trolley would slow down in response to how much kinetic energy was transferred to the people.
Even they knew it was bs. Their supposed confidence in nfts was just them trying to drive the market up so they could unload it on the next sap. They didn’t consider that they were the sap all along. The collapse was faster then crypto because nfts don’t even have a real utility. And yes, crypto does have a utility as currency in nitche communities, but most people treated it like commodity.
Define “culture war bullshit”. Is it having minorities in Hollywood movies or is it complaining about The War On Christmas? Because if “The War On Christmas” is culture war bullshit, I do agree.
That being said, regardless of what you think “culture war bullshit” is, it’s very easier to disengage from it. Less effort then it takes to complain about it even.
I don’t think anyone looking for N95s for COVID protection would buy masks with valves anyway.
I remember seeing some people wearing the vented ones. One news anchor that was interviewing people going to the beach was wearing a vented mask asking people if they thought it was safe. I hate people.
And by then, it was too late to their voters behavior. Hell, Trump didn’t really change his public stance either. Him and his voters made anti-masking a point of pride. Whenever the press asked him about vaccines, he never out rite said that they should get vaccines for the health and safety of the county they supposed love. It’s so simple. Love the county? Love the economy? Get vaccinated and stay up to date. Trust the American™ researchers.
