People who ride a bicycle next to cars are too tired. People who ride old bicycles next to cars eating pennies are penny farting.

This! A million times. Cancer treatments have come a long way in the last few years. Expected outcomes have improved a lot. And I mean dramatically. Stage 2 isn’t the death sentence you think it is (depending on the type of cancer). But you need to discuss this with your family and your doctor.

A long time ago I saw this conspiracy theory that the reason all public buildings (schools, etc.) in the US have an industrial size incinerator by law is to burn the bodies during a fascist takeover.

It was funny then. Not so much now.

About the same here. (Finland)

Checks Thailand’s fertility rate… Oh yes, 1.452

Checks out.

Forcibly sterilising a person with sexual urges for children does not remove the urges. Just the means to fulfill those urges. And could lead to worse actions.

The world needs a lot more of this.

Fertility rate of 1.35 is REALLY low. Not as low as South Korea. But on par with Japan.

Even if you did everything right there isn’t that much wildlife to live off of. A single human requires a vast healthy wilderness to live off of foraging only.

Best way to show that he did fail in the end is to kick out every politician opposed to rejoining the EU and rejoining. Before UK falls any lower.

Anti-zionist does not equal anti-semitic. Just as being anti-nazi does not mean you are anti-white.

It is amazing how many people understand the second one but not the first one.

No, but getting there.

When I was younger I used to have these dreams from time to time where some mundane unimportant things were happening. Like walking through the parking lot of my school with classmates to go to gym class. And then it would happen just as in the dream. They would happen some days, weeks sometimes years after these dreams. And I would remember the dream in that moment and think ‘deja vu’.

The US has done it. But not recently. Though Trump did give it a try with Mike Pence in 2021. And never to the extent that Russia has and is.

It’s been several years since I ran Windows on any of my laptops. And haven’t run into any CPU issues yet. In my experience if stay away from the slim models and go for the more high-end ones you’re good.

This. Don’t buy consumer laptops. You can get secondhand business laptops that are just as cheap and more durable. You won’t get one with a touchscreen but that’s about it for the downsides.

That is the bare minimum the international community should do.

increase the intensity of my speaking voice without actually yelling

People will still consider it yelling even when you’re not actually doing it.

How it works on paper is very different from how it actually works. There is no democracy in China. Even dictatorships have elections. That does not mean that the dictator has the consent of the governed.
