We’re already massively overpopulated: https://overshoot.footprintnetwork.org/

Human overpopulation is the root cause and biggest cause of catastrophic climate change:

Yes. We need a fertility rate of about 0.01 for several decades, because human overpopulation is the root cause and biggest cause of catastrophic climate change:

If we choose not to vote in parties to make such laws, we’ll be culpable in letting the anthropocene extinction event become a mass-extinction event - wiping out more than 50% of genera and more than 70% of species. If you think too few honey bees are bad, imagine how catastrophic it would be for most living species to go extinct, including almost all the small life forms in the oceans which provide the majority of the biosphere’s oxygen.

Human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change, and the root cause of almost all existential and major ethical problems facing us.

Becoming a biological parent while our fertility rate is catastrophically and unsustainably high, causes by far more CO2e pollution than anything else.

We shouldn’t just tax these omnicidal people, we should vote in parties that’ll make laws to jail or hang people making the world unlivable.

It may mean the user doesn’t think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers’ decision making ability.

If a distros’ makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn’t by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can’t as easily be changed like UI settings.

a full and clear separation from any potential conflict of interest (while noble) is how projects die.

There are worse things than death, like being successful by screwing people over and/or making the biosphere unlivable.

The former media ‘shock jock’ commentator has made a series of attacks on the pope, calling him an “imbecile who defends social justice”, a “son of a bitch preaching communism” https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentine-priests-defend-pope-francis-over-shameful-milei-attacks-2023-09-05/

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus is supposed to have said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Luke 6:29-30 “If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Are they also going to investigate the mass-extinction causing climate-change impact of flying?

Many South Koreans, especially older ones, have a negative perception of Japanese voters. One of the main reasons for South Korean and Chinese dislike of Japanese voters, is Japan’s government’s refusal to properly apologize for war crimes, especially WW2 and just before.

Whereas people in Germany in the 1960s started to admit the horrors they were responsible for in WW2, the Japanese still seem not to.

Please, summarize the article instead of regurgitating their bad titles - or even better don’t post links from sources that use bad clickbaity titles.

We don’t have to let Lemmy devolve into Facebook/Twitter/reddit/…

be deprived of tax benefits, although it could still operate as an entity in Japan.

Religions fleece people who are too stupid to differentiate between reality and fairy tales. These are probably the same people who keep voting for politicians and parties that allow tax benefits for religions.

To possibly fix this, vote for people who’ll start drastic geo-engineering and who’ll make laws that’ll jail everyone who:

1. has kids unless their community has a fertility rate of 0.01 (this needs to stay in place for several decades),
2. drives vehicles that run on fossil fuels or electricity,
3. flies,
4. …

The nazis killed millions of people. If you have a kid in a community with a fertility rate more than 0.01, drive, or fly, despite our current human overpopulation, then you’ll be killing billions of people and causing a mass extinction event by making the biosphere unlivable.

“Please stop torturing us to death.” - 2 trillion fish per year.

“Please stop enslaving us in torturous conditions.” - hundred of billions of factory farmed animals per year.

how to encourage young people to start families and lift Japan’s chronically low birthrate.

Do they also encourage people to fly, drive, set fire to oil fields, melt permafrost covering methane, work for fossil fuel companies?

Brother, can you spare an “n”? And capitals and punctuation marks?

Maybe the ones who got it wrong is because they got their copy from Reuters who got it wrong:

So long, and thanks for all the [death rattle]

Wouldn’t an honest title state that a certain flu variant now seems extinct? Why spread a title that makes it seem like the vaccines are unsafe?

Please downvote distortions like this.

Is this not the only tipping point that can actually reduce energy held by the biosphere due to increased ice in the northern hemisphere, and therefor increasing Earth’s albedo?

Wait, so the people who are willing to consume a product which is almost entirely imported from far away, and is therefor culpable in making the world unlivable because of green house gas emissions; are going to start boycotting it to help a few workers? Because causing a mass extinction is okay, but union-busting is not?

This whataboutism may not be saying that what the Saudis are doing is excusable, but instead pointing out the hypocrisy and saying that if you’re going to complain about the psychotic Saudi regime, you have to admit that the voters who elected Bush and then re-elected him after his invasion of Iraq, are vastly worse than the Saudis. It’s important to know if we are the baddies, especially if we are vastly worse and propping up the Saudis.

I think it’s important to criticize and boycott the psychotic Saudi regime, but also to keep in perspective that there are worse people out there: people who are orders-of-magnitude worse.

Iraqi deaths in the Iraq war in the 8 years from 2003 to 2011 = approximately 461 000 (PLOS Medicine 2013) to 655 000 (Lancet 2006 (PDF)).

That’s currently even worse than the psychotic Russian invasion of Ukraine:

• Ukrainians killed by Russia in the 7 years from 2014 to 2021: approximately 7 800 (OHCHR 2022 p. 3 (PDF)).
• Ukrainians killed by Russia in the 2.5 years 2022 to 2023 = upper estimates of approximately 59 500 (Reuters 2023-04-12+Fox 2023-05-21).

I’m not sure about the Saudi/Kuwait/UAE/Egypt/Morocco/Jordan/Sudan/Senegal/Bahrain/Blackwater (supported by US/UK/France) coalition’s actions in the war in Yemen since 2015.

Edit: I’m also not sure how many the Saudis have killed in the Iran-Saudi proxy wars, so maybe the Saudis do actually have more direct blood on their hands than the western powers in the last 50 years or so.
