Well, there is a big discussion about nutrition among lupies, so maybe heuristics was on to something this time. On the other hand, in what group isn't nutrition a topic?
Tobberone
Sure! And with internet the people we are with can be on different continents, all of us forming our bubbles of reality based on the information we are presented. Same as it ever was. The only difference is that before you shared your experience with the people you saw in the room, with internet you share it with the people you see on the screen. But since two people i the same room doesnt share the same experiences anymore, it becomes much easier to spot the differences in eachothers realities.
Well, "pausing" implies they did donate before, which is yet to be proven. This might just be hot air. And what are their options? Donating to DeSantos (spelling?) for the joy of whacking him over the head in court again?
It's not the social media, it's human nature. It has always been this way, only social media/internet did it on an individual where it was previously more a group thing. Like TV before cable. Like radio before TV. Like newspapers before radio and like religion since its inception. As far as "creating bespoke realities" this is just the latest step on a journey started with storytelling...
Sorry, didn't know jokes needed to be geotagged on this instance.
I see the Ukrainian alt army got upgradw on the infantry side.
So "it was only a joke" is also back on the menu? Wow, times are rolling back fast!
Even the term itself is a generalising stereotype. But it we are to have a somewhat serious discussion about it, I'd say It's a human condition, not a gendered condition. For example, given what is (not) known about our respective genders, you felt the need to explain this.
You dropped your /S ;)
I know where you are comming from, however. But the thing is, not doing that isn't helping any either. And one thing that needs to be said, which isn't reported on nearly as much as it should, the EU green deal, fit for 55, while it still isn't enough, is legislation which has passed, which has teeth and which will keep EU working to reduce carbon emissions. And will keep us running as fast as we can to be able to make the cut offs and deadlines.
I agree. To many are happy to think its somebody else's fault and that "our children will pay for me".
Another hurdle, and nobody likes to admit it, is that a whole lot of the emissions stem from the wants and needs of the people. Not the wealth in itself. So the responsibility falls differently than the wealth distribution.
Make no mistake, We need to be better at taxing wealth, with all it's unwanted social and economic effects and disregard for the ecological ones, but it might prove trickier than expected.
Batteries may be more efficient, but we can't use them to store all the energy we need. And heat pumps still need electricity when there is less renewable electricity available.
Looking at nature, long carbon chains are the way to store lots of energy and being able to use just electricity to get carbon out of the air is a great first step. Capturing the methane will allow us to process it further.
This is the best news regarding energy storage I've seen in a long time.
