What's a human child then. My experience is that they develop their own goals quite quickly (although obviously their goals are limited by their knowledge)

I would like the glaciers and iceshelves in the polar regions to stay where they are rather than causing a rise in Ocean levels that in turn displaces hundreds of millions of people.

Scotland's snow cover is an indicator of what's happening in this planet

I feel the very fact that we need to refer to a brand name for the meat replacement is a clear indicator of how immature the market is.

What are lesbian couples meant to do?

Sounds like you're also implying that populations are shrinking because modern men aren't prepared to make that extra burden bearable.

The question was, "What did she want?"

A classic film? The little mermaid is not a classic film. It's a kids story.

Anyone debating the skin colour of a character in a kids film has mental problems

The irony of this comment at the bottom of 200+ comments arguing about what every parent knows

What are the percentages? What's the correct rate and the false positive diagnosis rate?

Or are you just anecdoting?

If you were aware of how many things make babies cry I think you would be quite embarrassed about this comment

The asteroid is man-made so the moral question is very different to what you are saying.

Doesn't sound like you've bothered googling him. Read his wiki page[0]. This is literally stuff he's been writing about for close to 30 years. Of course you'd talk with him if you're a billionaire prepper.

So do you and your extended family mostly know where each other is most of the time? What level of accuracy is involved?

  Why is the world in love again?
  Why are we marching hand in hand?
  Why are the ocean levels rising up?
  It's a brand new record for 1990
  They Might Be Giants' brand new album Flood

Oh heck that's 32 years old

I thought it was a commonly held thought that Google didn't want Chrome users using bookmarks because it directly competed with their search (and advertising).

Speaking as a person with zero knowledge of SV and caste discrimination I will make the observation that 'accusations' of discrimination can and are made by people in almost every conceivable group.

So yes you could very easily have read something like that. And more reading would be required for background and context to figure out who's telling the truth in different situations

Slightly off topic I am anticipating discussions and media reports in the next few years where the antipathy between two groups manifests as clear discrimination by both groups towards the other. But if neither group is clearly in a stronger socio-economic then how will we describe and talk about that problem. To be clear I think these situations exist already but I don't think they are being reported in.

Try going internet free for two weeks?

Interesting article. This sentence was interesting:

  Very early in the process one of the scientists, Mac Hadley,[15] who was conducting experiments on himself with the peptide melanotan II, injected himself with twice the dose he intended and experienced an eight-hour erection, along with nausea and vomiting.[13]

I think it's undeniable that journeys in to, out of, or around central London are faster on public transport if you're going along one of the main routes. But there are lots of journeys outside of the centre, either sideways or diagonal, that are very awkward and slow on public transport.

My problem is that I have very little data or intuitive feel for how the 8 million people in London actually move during the average day

It's just another example of underinvestment in infrastructure that's required to maintain society. In this case obviously it's human beings rather than roads and bridges.

So is your friend contacted through LinkedIn or something similar? Because it would be terrible if these shady sellers bribed someone who had just set there company to Amazon but didn't really work there ...

The good news is that humanity has saved up a few trillion for emergencies. The bad news is that it's been saved up and hidden in tax havens. Pity

Your comment is super unclear as to who and what you're talking about. Delusional? Enabled?

You've said, "the main problem". Are you talking about something that affects most of the working population?

Can you elaborate on the logic behind that? Also when you say "most" do you really think it's a percentage of 50%?

I know this is off topic but I'm always confused by the attitude you've mentioned where companies don't actively work to retain staff.

I wonder if there are any courses for managers to train them to think logically about this and not switch into bad decisions based on emotion.

Companies waste so much money on hiring and then deciding to react very slowly to changes in market conditions. If businesses treated their staff like they treat their clients...

Do you believe you are conscious?

Is there a term from economics where a portion of the population do less and less because they can't afford to travel, properly eat or heat their homes? And who have no chance of educating themselves due to their circumstances?

People talk about the UK productivity gap and I wonder when society realises that people who can't afford to eat are not going make great workers.

After a quick browse of the Tax Jar website I got the solid impression that they were US only. I saw mention of 'sales tax' but nothing about VAT, GST, HST, etc. No mention of international or shipping. And their pricing page which I normally find to be useful for this type of thing was actually totally confusing to me.

The one thing on the pricing page that jumped out at me was, "AI-driven product taxability recommendations"

AI recommendations and dealing with the tax authorities doesn't really seem like a sound choice.

Two factual errors in your comment:

1. "Tories" refers to the party members not the people who voted for them.

2. Only 44% voted for the Tories so not a majority.

I can't disagree that twitter is full of hate but I can laugh at your stated impression about the political left and the political leanings of twitter. It's like complaining that environmental scientists are biased in their belief in climate change.

So true.

I hope you're talking to someone professional about it. ;-) /jk
