It’s worse now. Israel flags are everywhere now too.

I’ve lived in the U.S. my whole life and I’ve never gotten automatically-sweet coffee unless I order something like a flavored coffee drink.

It puts the lotion on its skin…

Quite a change from a country that once had coal-based smog so bad that it was a literal disaster with massive health consequences.

My dad lived through it. He said you would put a handkerchief over your mouth when you went outside and when you got to where you were going, it would be black.

Yes, you have already been shown by others why your meta-study, which predates the study the article I linked to discusses, is both faulty and doesn’t make the argument you think it makes.

You should be aware that when new information replaces old information in science, you should defer to the new information. You are doing the opposite.

I’m talking about the infrastructure issue here. Which is what this article is about.

Are you aware that jokes are a thing?

Well of course if you’re seeking asylum it’s different. That’s why I said migrants and not asylum seekers.

If you are willingly migrating to a country that is so broken that it could take weeks to get fresh water back to residents while they are mostly cut off from the rest of the country for an unspecified amount of time, maybe find a more functional place to migrate to.

As to where- maybe just keep heading north until you get to Canada. At least you’ll get free healthcare.

I think my point is pretty clear: America is a shithole. Don’t come here. Go somewhere else where you won’t be treated like a subhuman and where infrastructure works.

I mean if they really want to come here, I’m not going to stand in their way. I just think it’s a bad idea.

“Burning plastic is a great idea!” --No one who has ever been near burning plastic.

Bold of you to think that’s what they want.

So they’re just going to let Vance fearmonger the country into a race war.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Two very deadly climate events happening at the same time on opposite sides of the globe.

This is the new normal.

Like I said, let’s hope this is an exception.

This is America. We don’t regulate these things. Especially not in red states.

I realize that this sort of thing elicits more sympathy in America, but the fact that he’s a pastor is irrelevant. That should not have happened to anyone. It was an injustice independent of what he does on Sundays.

Let’s hope this is an exception and that Nazi fuck goes to prison.

I wasn’t being vague at all. I gave two examples of people who achieved success when it came to environmental damage by doing more than performative actions because “awareness.”

Throwing soup at paintings and gluing their hands to roads has achieved nothing. It doesn’t make people who are already aware aware. It doesn’t convince people who don’t believe it that they are wrong. It doesn’t keep something that is already in the news due to the endless extreme weather events in the news. It isn’t what drives legislation.

It achieves nothing other than pissing people who are on the soup-throwers’ side off.

I get it that you want easy solutions. There aren’t going to be easy solutions.

People like this are so ridiculous. They really don’t understand the concept of not being comfortable in your own body to the point that you don’t even want to live because your family and society in general disapprove of you being who you really are.

Which is ridiculous because I’m cis and it’s not hard for me at all to understand that being given gender-affirming care would be pretty fucking helpful for kids who feel that way.

Or rather either they don’t understand it or they don’t care because it’s “wrong.”

At what point in your childhood were you so sure that you were not the gender that matches your biological sex that suicide was not an insignificant consideration due to the lack of support?
