Both sides are all just humans being the worst we have to offer as a species.
Egged on by ridiculous stories about men in the sky, they fight for no reason when we could all just treat each other as human.

I find it positive to think about these writers, inspired to try to create something scientific and exciting but lacking the education themselves to do it justice, but then inspiring generations to learn and explore, who then return having learned enough to spot the problems.
I hope Star Trek can use science, and the generations of fans now inspired, to keep pushing these stories further because it feels like our collective need for Star Trek’s vision is as deep as ever.
I hear you.
Just remember that we know so much more about everything that happens on the earth than even just a few decades ago.
Things have always been bad everywhere, we just didn’t all have to hear about it every single day.
I say this just so you can maybe temper some of your feelings to make sure you’re accounting for that difference.
I hear you, but they didn’t timewarp from the late 90s to today, either. 2014 would have been a good time to think carefully about their defensive coalition membership.
Edit: I want to finish by saying I wish the US lived up to our ideals more often and that I also wish Armenia had better protection through their defense pacts.
Armenia is a member of the CSTO, right? That’s the NATO alternative run by Russia, as I understand it. Russia has no ability to actually help Armenia in this conflict, though.
I agree that the west is awful about doing the right thing if there’s no compounding factor to juice it like oil.
But Armenia made a decision to ally themselves with Russia for protection. That has proven to be a terrible mistake. Let’s not pretend this was a completely unavoidable situation that the west could just walk into and stop. Armenia’s membership in CSTO complicates that greatly.
So … gonna go with “a little of column a, a little of column b” here. I wish the west was more righteous and less greedy. I wish Armenia had chosen better friends.
Hey, family is family. Like I said, India needs to police their shit, they’re losing the script badly.
Hey, US citizen checkin in. Don’t fuck around in or with Canada unless you like pissing the US off, too. I don’t think India wants this heat. They need to change course.
My friend, many, many planes that have been crashed have been serviced and returned to service, including airliners.
I like the idea that life sucks so much that meth makes it better and the answer to that isn’t to try to improve lives but to lock people up so life is even fuckin worse.
People are tired of bad news in general. It has nothing in particular to do with where this happened.
The Internet means that I, someone thousands of miles away, am now aware of the tragedies you are suffering, as well. Sometimes it seems like that much knowledge of suffering just wasn’t what we were built to handle every day.
It’s not you or where you live, it’s just that humans can only take humans being awful to each other for so long before it becomes too much to bear.
Doubtful.
The answer is simple:
Religion is not based in fact.
We need solutions based on facts if we are going to handle the problems our species faces.
Russia has launched a war of aggression. Russian leader Putin enjoys an 80% approval rating. This change won’t happen for a year:
Consequently, the planned deliveries for the year 2024 will remain unaffected.
Stop trying to make this out like the west is doing anything even close to what Russia is. If Russia wants to be an aggressive pariah state, they can make their own fucking drugs.
Japan is releasing nuclear waste from a reactor they failed to design with sufficient safety protections given its location.
China pollutes like crazy, but your whataboutism argument doesn’t matter.
Japan is releasing nuclear waste into the oceans because they failed to understand the safety requirements necessary for their nuclear reactors.
Additionally, I’m not sure how China would have reached this position without a specific effort by the United States to engage in increased trade with them.
We said we would trade more in the hopes of an improving human rights situation and steps toward democratic self-rule.
We didn’t get what we were promised. Stop whining, Xi.
Also the group was collectively pregnant, injured and hypothermic - just so we are clear on the dire threats they posed to the crew.
This is not what happened. Takes like this, that oversimplify and make things seem inevitable aren’t very helpful.
For decades before 1988 and for decades after, people have advocated for the environment. The shift to an understanding that we can have an impact on our planet has been slow and hard-won. Don’t pretend like one person or one hearing or one technology could have prevented all this - that’s just not true.
You may be upset that nuclear wasn’t or isn’t used more, but it doesn’t really matter at this point - we are here, and we have really inexpensive and seemingly low impact technologies like solar and wind with battery or other types of storage. Plus, we can now have a more distributed grid with installs right in people’s homes.
Move past whatever has you hung up on nuclear, there’s lots of other ways to have a positive impact on our environmental future.
This same crash modality was one of the first autopilot crashes.
When your autopilot will drive right into the side of a truck, people are right to question its safety.
It won’t let me through either. Firefox is only used by bots, I guess.
sad and amazing how true this is.
