You can do something pointless for pleasure and still feel real enjoyment. (A bit of an oxymoron really since if the point is to obtain pleasure the activity isn't pointless).
We know a world exists outside of the internet, as far as we know anything.
We might choose to believe in a soul, but with no evidence there's not really any point in bringing it up as a quality something can have.
To say that something does or does not have value because of the presence of a soul is the same as saying that something doesn't have value because I've decided it doesn't have the intangible property of valuableness.
Beans on toast isn't a sandwich. If it's anything, it's an exotic form of pizza considering that it's a flat bread with tomato sauce and a bean and cheese topping.
Pure doomerism. We are headed for crop failures, but we currently massively overproduce food for the human population, and produce that food very inefficiently.
Even the worst case scenario for climate change predicts a peak production in 2040, at almost 50% higher than current, and then a decline of 25% over the next 50 years. If there's mass death, it will be because capitalism fucks over distribution and acclimation as it always does, but the scenario you are describing isn't supported by any climate/agricultural science.
There is enough space, there is enough water and there is enough agricultural land to accommodate two billion climate migrants in the north and south over the next eighty years, and it's something we can accomplish.
I am one of the rare people that experienced the whole "tingles" thing since I was a child
Frisson?
Trump’s succinct reply—“TRUE!!!”—has fueled speculation about the extent of his administration’s plans to address illegal immigration, a central theme of his campaign.
Is this the boomerang coming around?
They're uh... Radiators?
I liked 2049 more than the original, but it's very close.
The Nazis knew about sloped tank armour and would have used it if they could have, it was the need to mass produce them with the methods they had available at a reasonable price that forced the boxiness.
That can't be right, because I'm the only leftist on this site.
I have no idea how you justify or even begin to consider assigning a 12th of all births as having some inherent necrophiliac tendency?
Probably with similar reasoning used to justify that the position of planets and stars relative to the earth can have any effect on a person's personality or daily life.
Imperial population is likely several trillion at the low end
Earth/Terra alone is supposed to have a few quadrillion.
and when they do go around, every bin is gonna be overloaded so every shift will be mother fucked, people will walk and there will be garbage piling up everywhere.
Every council where I've lived is already on three week collection, and it's fine actually.
Bin collection is entirely delegated to local councils, there is no unified national authority on them, and this instance is just for south Gloucestershire.
It's a tiny bit more when you consider that this is literally just south Gloucestershire, home to about 300k people.
Nature has already shown us that it's possible, and anything nature can do, we can iterate and improve upon.
It probably helped, though it's not like they were ever getting across the channel.
Supposedly, this is what allowed Britain to build a welfare state after the second world war as well. The poor actually saw general nutrition improve during rationing, and they witnessed what the state could accomplish if it really wanted to.
The rich realised this, and figured out that if they didn't throw a bone to the working class, they were going to end up dead, and so compromised.
Celibate people can still masturbate
