We're learning in real time that the ICC and UN are great tools, until they disagree with you, at which point they can be ignored and even threatened.
Sounds like great news, no?
Just as we had a time before fungus digesting plant matter, we've now had a time before fungus digesting plastics.
"Soon" we'll get bacteria and insects doing the same, and all our plastic buildings will need to be protected just as the wood ones.
(they're awkwardly asking for a poly 'shipping, most probably as a way to express that you guys are too cute :)
Yes, as the blurb says in the fourth word or so.
Edit: did the math and counted up to the fourth word
When does this raise questions of precedent? Is everyone entitled to 10 violations of a gag order in NYC now?
The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time is now.
Consent.
You might be fine with having erotic materials made of your likeness, and maybe even of your partners, parents, and children. But shouldn't they have right not to be objectified as wank material?
I partly agree with you though, it's interesting that making an image is so much more troubling than having a fantasy of them. My thinking is that it is external, real, and thus more permanent even if it wouldn't be saved, lost, hacked, sold, used for defamation and/or just shared.
There is no lesser evil when it comes to genocide.
This is obviously untrue. If the option a) is genocide and b) is genocide and also dismantling the methods to protest it, methods to oust the decision makers, dismantling national security in resources and relationships, at the same time as blatantly plundering both the pockets of citizens and communal coffers, there's very obviously a more evil option.
Equivocation and black-white thinking is comfortable, but there are still shades of brown when the shit has hit the fan.
In the best of worlds you wouldn't be in this situation, now you are, make the better choice.
Tl;dr: By having someone work to design and maintain the game economy, making sure it's part of the development plan.
No actual details in the whole interview.

I want to stress that you are expected to block communities you're not interested in.
There's no content curation between instances (an instance is like a niche mini-reddit, but seamlessly connected to this one), so you will end up with US Politics next to Furry porn, next to Star Trek memes, next to NZ local news, next to sports statistics, next to AI Porn, unless you start blocking.
Upside is you can get great science content, AND local news, AND your favorite porn, AND your brand of shitpost/memes in your feed/subscriptions without any hassle.
It has become embarrassingly clear that US Republicans are not interested in honoring alliances, reassurances, and good relations.
The world best take note that dealings with the Republicans must be transactional. And until they have no reasonable chance of governing, so must any deal with the US be concluded within a 2 year frame. And any nation being cheated by a cancelled deal have only themselves to blame.
Tl;dr:
Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it's cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.
