Mark my words, we are living the early phases of world war 3 unless cool heads prevail.

Only if Russia decides they need to increase the number of countries they are invading.

They started this war, they can escalate it, and they can end it. It's all on Russia. They are the the ones in needs of cooler heads to prevail. The rest of the world is just responding accordingly to their atrocities.

Vivek Ramaswamy says US ‘climate change agenda’ is a ‘hoax’

In an fireside chat with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Ramaswamy said that environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) business policies are among the “grave threats to liberty,” and said “the climate change agenda” is a “hoax.”

“They’re using our money… to implement social and environmental agendas through the backdoor. Through corporate America,” Ramaswamy said. “Using your retirement funds and your investment accounts to vote for racial equity audits or Scope 3 emissions caps that you didn’t know they were using your money to do, and that Congress would have never passed through the front door.”

ESG has become a political punching bag for conservatives, who view it as corporations overreaching into the political space. The policies increase diverse hiring, reduce carbon emissions and manage how they invest their money with climate in mind.

They're all from one party in one country.

Yes, they will drop many cases that they don't feel they can get a conviction on.

Doesn't sound like you've ever been to Japan. Or maybe you don't go out too often.

What about his post was wrong to you?

Smoking is prohibited indoors in all public buildings and even in most private buildings.

Check.

Some buildings have smoking rooms and they're the only place to smoke and are well ventilated plus everyone using them are smokers so they can't complain about second hand smoke.

Check

Or are you suggesting that it should be illegal to smoke in one's own home.

A question was asked. It wasn't a suggestion to make smoking in one's home illegal.

And yet, somehow the rank and file of the Democrat Party has decided without doubt this is the most capable human being in the entirety of US who should continue to lead the country.

I mean, you guys gave him the worst president in the history of the USA in the last election, and look to give him the same opponent in the next. It's easy to win against a loser.

“Canadian Conservative party votes not to recognize climate crisis as real”

Then how do you explain their existing climate change proposal?

“While Justin Trudeau stresses that the environment is a priority, Canada has failed to meet any of its climate pledges amid resistance from politicians who say the targets threaten the oil industry.

Sounds like right-wing rhetoric. Trudeau's name sends right-wingers world-wide into a frenzy, worse than Voldermort's name did to wizards in Harry Potter.

Wrong.

Another major factor was a large difference in atmospheric pressure in the north and south of the island, brought about by Hurricane Dora (situated to the south). Winds which usually flow from higher to lower-pressure areas were made stronger due to the low-pressure conditions towards the south. These strong air currents quickly spread fires.

Poster A: It's climate change

Poster B: Not, it's all these things that are a result of climate change, but how dare you say it's climate change.

Notice it's only people from a certain political party from a certain country, and Russians, who deny climate change?

Besides the quote most certainly being a translation of his original Japanese, you believe the sentence should be "its value is worth than nothing"?

That would be thilly.

From this I conclude that 99% of the people around me.

OR - The US National Institute of Mental Health doesn't know a damn thing about people, confusing reality with the perception of this reality

OR you read a blurb on the internet, and thought you knew enough to comment on it without realizing there were more ORs that hadn't considered, because your only studying is reading an article on the internet.

I'm sure millions are going empty their wallets for this new moved-end-call button advancement.

Zero people will do that. But for many people, like myself, who have been using the same iphone for an number of years, getting a new phone will result in all the cumulative updates of the past few years. Including what I'm excite for with iOS 17: you can use your phone to find the apple TV remote. My kids lose the remote all the time, it's a real headache.

Putin could end the war every day since March, April 2022. And still can. But he is willing to let Russian people die for China's ambitions.

Posted in: U.S. lab repeats nuclear fusion feat, with higher yield See in context

Correct. But, and that is the breakthrough here, for the first time that is not an issue with the fusion reaction being inefficient, it is an issue with the lasers being inefficient. And again, that is now an engineering problem instead of a scientific one. Can we, for once, cheerfully acknowledge that we are a step closer instead of finding ways to poo-poo every small success?

Some people think we should have had iphones as soon as they figured out computers, and anything less is a failure.

I would say that the venn diagram of these people with those who actually do make progressions for humanity like said scientists, is two perfect side-by-side circles.

That doesn’t justify attacking and/or killing civilians.

It's a natural order. Invade a country, some of your citizens die. Don't want your citizens to die, don't invade a country.

Very simple logic, even for us MAGA. Except we know Ukraine should just surrender like we would in America, right my MAGA brother?
