That’s one way to form class solidarity

I wouldn’t be surprised the reason the address wasn’t redacted is because he had AI make the post too.

This is a shit comment so feel free to skip, but it loosely reminds me of this: https://lemmy.ml/post/42938261

Since you are asking seriously I will answer you: Because we have to.

At the most basic level we have to do work for basic survival. Cooking, cleaning ourselves, cleaning our living space, those are necessary to live and are actual work. This can extend to people we care about, as we are willing to put in work to maintain relationships and make sure they are well.

As for why would anyone work for something other than survival, well that can get a little philosophical. One philosophy is existentialism, where we as humans desire to have meaning in our lives and are willing to put in work to achieve something. Basically, just look back at any hobby you have done.

Now, at the societal level people will not work at the current conditions without being forced to earn a wage to survive. Once you remove money from the equation then that lets people decide for themselves how and when to work. Under those conditions people will still work for society, so long as they see the benefits it brings to that society.

An uncommon but relevant example is at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine there was a nuclear plant near the border that everyone was worried would have a meltdown either due to bombing or the Ukrainian workers abandoning it. Some of the workers chose to stay all the way until it was captured. Then there was some diplomacy between Ukraine and Russia to figure out what to do about the plant and the workers. Those workers recognized the value of maintaining the plant to protect society, and did it without pay and at the risk of being bombed.

Not to mention the oceans cover 2/3 the surface of Earth, so any precipitation only has a 1/3 chance of being on land. And then of course as others have mentioned that doesn’t mean it will rain in an accessible area or where it is most needed.

I have learned to cope with a lot of stuff, but every now and then this one still gets me. Last time it happened when I was facilitating a training, and my co-facilitators changed something on the fly and my brain fizzled out, lol

I suspect that earlier in his governorship he was willing to go along more with the Democratic legislature because he knew it would not risk his re-election. Now that he has his eyes on the presidency he is going straight down the middle, which these days is basically the Right.

Because typos and autocorrect exist?

Trump renamed something again?!

I thought the fediverse was supposed to be a safe space!

It is true that if you overlap the bell curve of strength, height, and whatever other markers men will generally be on the higher end, but not entirely. In my opinion sex is a very lazy way to distribute athletes into competitive groups.

For example, I am a cis-male who is on the lower average end of height, weight, and since I only do light exercise, strength too. My cis-female friend, on the other hand, is 6 feet tall, has done strength training, and played college basketball. Even if I were to train in strength and skill for basketball, she would still have a huge advantage due to her height. I would have a harder time defending shots she takes, and she could more easily block mine. Since basketball is a team sport I could try to focus on stealing and then passing to a teammate who is taller, but then again so could a cis-female against cis-males.

I don’t know what exactly the better way to distribute athletes would be, but I am sure kinesiologists can probably think of something besides sex.

Edit: I added “cis” to be more clear

I wish

This is true. Every summer my region reaches 40°C for a couple of weeks, so every summer I consider moving to some place else. The rest of the year is not too bad and I just try and forget the suffering that is to come.
