Sea level is irrelevant. This isn't about water rise, but the land itself sinking (compressing). This can cause damage to infrastructure, buildings, and alter where areas lie in the water table (potentially increasing flooding).
I haven't been voting for this shit. Typical smug ass Europeans. You're just as bad as white America, going the same way internally, and commit just as many crimes. You aren't better, you're just the drummer.
As an American, I couldn't care less. Our taxes fund this research, and yet we receive zero benefit from it. The only people that benefit are the wealthy and citizens of other western countries. Fuck 'em.
Agreed, it definitely has always been there. I'm from a diverse family that covers all races, as well as many ethnicities and countries of origin. Even within my family, I've experienced racism, colorism, etc, and it was always baffling to me growing up. I think the internet has allowed the ghouls to finally feel comfortable taking their mask off in public. If we could stop that hate, especially from majority groups (regionally dependant), then we could truly push for societies that lift us all up.
This is not shocking or surprising. Trump represents white America, and this is pure, unadulterated, white America. The internet has allowed white Americans to be their complete shit selves in relative anonymity to the point that they now realize the majority of their brethren are bathing in the same fecal pools, so that many are emboldened to go mask off. Ask any person of color what their experience is online, and they'll tell you this is typical white behavior, including white women (we see you Stacey).
That's standard practice, unfortunately, in detention facilities (prisons, jails, concentration camps, etc) across the country. It is a violation of the eighth amendment and in violation of federal law (only within the last decade), though enforcement and paths to address it by imprisoned women are limited. This is by design, of course. The prison (slave) system is hard baked for sex-based and racial violence. The majority of the population supports abhorrent treatment of prisoners for myriad reasons, if only due to the puritan ideal that there is no punishment too grotesque for violaters of even the most trivial of laws.
The amount the two countries have is already world ending. Does it ultimately matter if you can end the world 8 times or 300? Without compete elimination, we're all just going around hoping nobody hits the doomsday button.
The upside to sex (not gender) based attraction is reproduction, the fundamental drive of all life. Some forms of life, such as fungi, have more than two sexes, though they are only compatible with certain other sexes for reproduction. In humans, this becomes a little less relevant, as we are able to overcome the drive to reproduce even while maintaining the drive for sexual activity. There are still people that have a strong reproductive urge, however.
I get off work at this god awful hour to learn that the US has performed an extrajudicial kidnapping of a foreign leader and their spouse. This fucking wild and I hope it doesn't turn into regional conflict for all our sakes.
At this point, I want it to get worse. It isn't going to get better until all the comfortable trash becomes uncomfortable. Even that could be wrong, though. The whites destroyed the labor movement in the US because it was more important to them to continue being racist and upholding race based power structures than to actually achieve their goals against the state that was gunning them and their families down, sometimes in their homes. We ended up with very little and a fucking holiday that most of us that actually perform labor have to work while the class traitors above us get the day off.
