It’s not the co2 but the heat that dries out plants, greenhouse growers just open a window if it gets to hot in there

It’s proven more co2 will expand forests and make nature grow quick, that’s not why co2 is bad. Co2 traps the planets heat like a blanket, which make temperature rise which dries out plants and create extreme weather.

It is so normal nobody even mentioned the innocent lives being lost as colleteral damage at the hearing

They should publish a list, immediately makes clear what companies supported the gays because of their beliefs and which did because of their greed and financial opportunism.

I like this, but with a population of 60,000 it’s gonna be a tough fight. Maybe US could give military support in exchange for oil or smth.

What is ‘adult sponsor supervision’?? Lol

Even after reading this headline twice I couldn’t understand it, so here is the first few lines of the article for anyone with the same issue:

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says a plan by the United States to restore Russia’s ability to sell fertilizer is a backchannel that funds Ukrainian death and suffering.

“This is the most disturbing action that I think we’ve seen from (U.S. President Donald Trump) since his election,” Moe told legislators Tuesday.

“In essence, what he is doing is funding (Russian President) Vladimir Putin’s regime … and funding the death of Ukrainians.”

He also praised Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un and Invader Vlad. What did you expect?

I’ve been using maps.me, willing to try mapy.cz has anyone experience with both?

Journalists are also being targeted,

“In a series of dawn raids on 24 March, at least eight journalists who had been reporting on the protests were detained from their homes. Internet users experienced bandwidth reduction that lasted for 42 hours, restricting access to social media and news sites and more than 700 accounts of journalists, activists and opposition figures on Twitter/X have been blocked.” (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/03/turkiye-unlawful-and-indiscriminate-attacks-on-peaceful-protesters-must-end-and-protest-bans-must-be-lifted-immediately/)

I’ve read about this tactic in effing up diplomatic relations 101

dumb uneducated.

Probably even with dry statistics you can’t really compare the two that much. I also wonder how much it is because people don’t want to or feel the need to travel outside of the EU/USA, versus them not being able financially. Beside culture and climate the financial means of people within the US and EU differs a lot.

Business Insider has a long running series called World Wide Waste, with some very interesting videos. One of them about this woman in Nigeria (!) who started a business recycling tires because her community literally got sick of the tires that where left behind everywhere around her. It really makes me sad rich western countries can make their trash disappear and have people in much worse conditions deal with the consequences. I really enjoy those videos by Business Insider because they shed a light on the people who do the right thing despite of the shit the worlds pulls on them.

In The Netherlands you can get an X in your passport if you identify as non-binary / 3rd gender person. Nobody knows how border security will treat you if you don’t have an F or M in your passport, guess aren’t many people willing to go find out either. Really wonder how this is gonna go in the following years when US hosts important diplomatic/technological/sports events. Also some scientists are calling out to boycott scientific conventions in support of lgbtqi+ persons.

I’m using Trading212 and am quite happy with them, although they’re from the UK. Anyone here thinks it’d be better to switch to a EU-based company?

If you open a Google Doc in a private browser you should be able to view it without giving them any data, right?

Too bad nobody saw this coming, they could have made a great movie about this 10 years ago.
