I would argue that the French do more protesting than striking.

Yet another way to tell that Russia is collapsing in on itself.... it starts acting like North Korea. Pretty soon they'll have Russians calling Putin 'Dear Leader'.

Afghan national walks in the centre and starts stabbing people. Both mortally wounded victims were Portuguese women who worked there. The only good thing to come out of this was the police 1 minute (!) reaction time

My question is, what did the waters off the coast of Japan do to Russia and NK to make them so angry?

Reply to comment by MaybeImDead in Martine Vik Magnussen: Billionaire’s son admits role in death to BBC by msemen_DZ
"admits role in death" is not the same as "claims responsibility"
Title seems totally accurate just by your description, and I haven't even read the article.

"Hey clem! Why don't we change the climate of your terrarium so it's different than it was this morning?"
"Damnit, Cletus! That'd be like puttin' all that life on a whole new planet! There's a reason I have all these sensors and meters and shit! The climate is what makes the terrarium a place where the stuff inside can survive!"
The earth's climate IS what makes this planet habitable for all the species that live on it. If you change that climate over the geologic equivalent of a finger snap in time, nothing survives. Might as well be peeling the rind of life off the earth.

So, I read the whole super long article, and he never claims responsibility, he keeps saying it was a sex accident, so I guess we're just making up headlines then. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending the guy, but the title is just a lie.

Reply to comment by liljizbaby in Germany is overhauling its immigration rules to bolster a rapidly shrinking workforce by yash13
You're missing my point.
Because everyone needs 2 incomes to survive, everyone is focused on work and careers instead of home and family. Having only 1 person in a household work isn't ideal because 2 incomes are more stable and it makes one person have all the homemaker responsibilities (and it will likely usually be the woman).
If you move to a 3 day work week, someone should be home most of the time to take care of children and do household chores, women can continue to work and fathers can be more present.
This isn't happening in any countries because no one is attempting it and likely won't for a long time.
The dearth of children is a multifaceted problem but I think the biggest hurdles outside of finding a spouse is the cost (not just money but loss of career advancement) and available free time everyone has. I have 2 kids and it takes an awful lot to see them through those early years.

yeah just like now really with beach front and or cliff side dwellings. I was recently reading about homes being washed away in NC and some homeowners are paying hundreds of thousands to move 50ft further back. Crazy how reality doesn't effect people

Somebody else already had this idea. Found out that the Nevada desert was a more accessible place than the moon.

Reply to Climate change making Earth ‘uninhabitable’ Guterres warns by GeraldKutney
The executives leading the fossil fuel industry need to be prosecuted for engaging in bribery in pretty much every country to sabotage any action on climate change. This is unlikely to happen though, because those same governments that need to do the prosecuting have been bribed into submission.
What we can do is boycott fossil fuels. Get an electric car, use public transportation more often or walk if you can. Call your electric company and see if they have a green program. Many of them do. This means that your money will be going towards clean energy power plants instead of fossil fuel plants. I know not everyone can afford it, but those who can, should absolutely do it if they care about their own descendants. Electric vehicles are pretty cheap now, you can find ones that are about the same price as gasoline cars. There are used ones too that are really cheap.
Ignore the fossil fuel trolls that swarm this sub every time there is an article about climate change. Those bastards insult people who criticize the fossil fuel industry. I get insulted all the time by those motherfucking assholes when I criticize fossil fuels. Those childish trolls can go eat shit. Fuck you trolls! You evil bastards are part of the the reason the planet is dying. Those piece of shit trolls have blood on their hands.
Trolls, please go ahead and insult me. It's a great opportunity to get you banned and reduce the amount of lies and disinformation on this sub. Please, I dare you. I'm ready to report you any time if you want to get banned.
