Imo people should strive to be better than average for where they live. Leads to continuous improvement. Never make the mistake of trying to be the end goal society needs to reach while everyone else is still far away, the mass of changes is important, so you'll just make yourself miserable and not save the world anyway.

Japan has been building a long distance one for a while now. It got held up in one prefecture because of environmental and political reasons though. Currently running maglevs anywhere are all kinda gimmicky (really no point in going super fast when the distance is very short anyway, waste of money).

A web frontend for lemmy that silently included a blacklist that blocked users for just about everything the dev didn't like.

I, for one, am in support of your ability to stop giving mullvad money as a consequence, but not in support of anyone being fired over a political donation regardless. I don't want to be fired over donating to causes I support, and there is no universal moral judge to say what is fine to donate to, even if I have pretty strong opinions on the matter.

Nah 30c is "i wish it was socially acceptable to just walk around naked because I am fucking dying in a t shirt and shorts" weather.

40 is just that but worse

I hope I never have to experience high humidity 40 I might just keel over and die

30f is viable for shorts but only with a thick-ish jacket on upper body

You don't need an actual adress for that. If something has adress verification, you'd also need to camp the mailbox. At which point you don't need the name beyond what is available at said mailbox anyway. And just getting full names of real people with a general area of living is far easier online.

Yeah, to my knowledge lolicon is very specifically about the attraction aspect without any accusations beyond that, while paedophile has different connotations (in spite of originally having that same meaning). But then the word lolicon in english has that specific meaning about drawn children which is also not what the word means in japanese. So there's not really a 100% right way to translate it, but going by the context that anime characters tend to say lolicon in, translating it as paedophile seems more likely to be misleading about the actual situation portrayed.

Whether it should be treated as lightly as it often is in anime is a whole different discussion and I'd say it shouldn't but it's completely valid to question the translation imo

Recycling is about more than just plastics. It is a bit funny to me how that has always been the main focus though given how afaik it's a lot less viable and/or useful than aluminium, cardboard, glass recycling.

800 million people (so just the population of US, CA, and EU) doing small things can absolutely have a larger impact though. Rich bastards do have a vastly larger impact than individual normal people but using that to say "I don't have to do anything, the others are more at fault" is not helping anyone.

Women can be creeps too. It's less common but there are still plenty.

Ultimately the handling model and the way cops were implemented just making them very annoying killed it for me but yeah, I think overall it was trying to be different and did in some ways succeed. I don't quite get all the hate tbh. I've had a few hours of fun, even if it's no Underground 2.

100% agree on this. Israel should've been made in some part of former germany after ww2. But the occupiers probably didn't like giving away their newfound land, and I also do kinda understand why jews in germany might've wanted to be geographically far away. Still, that's the one country that had it coming and if some people were displaced at the time, then no one would complain now.

But if we were to do it now you're again displacing people that did nothing wrong. Not to mention that regardless of how many of them seem to support the genocide, most israelis also didn't choose to be there, they were born there (though at this point fuck them tbh, I'd only really feel for the ones actively opposed to all this).
