Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • There is nuance!

    Heavy duty trucks is broad, and includes semi trucks, buses, tractors, etc

    I'd be curious to see those commercial vehicles broken out, and the question answered for how much impact personal transport has on us emissions

    Any vehicle exceeding 26,001 pounds is considered heavy-duty. Examples include city transit buses, mobile cranes, cement mixers, refuse trucks, and tractors designed to pull refrigerated trailers, dry vans and other equipment.

  • Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say
  • I didn't think this was true, but according to the EPA in 2021 it is

    Personal transport road vehicles are the largest category of transportation which is the largest source of greenhouse emissions, accounting for roughly 15% of total us emissions.

    The largest sources of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions include passenger cars, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and light-duty trucks, including sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and minivans. These sources account for over half of the emissions from the transportation sector. The remaining greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector come from other modes of transportation, including commercial aircraft, ships, boats, and trains, as well as pipelines and lubricants.

  • The enforcer: Putin Orders Prigozhin's Arrest, Breaks Deal
  • Not quite, but would've.

    His general refused an order from another general to fire on Russians, believing it would start ww3.

    Blunt claims he would've refused the order too as a captain in the British army, if it hadn't already been refused higher up in the chain of command

  • Millenials being accused of not pumping out enough babies when we can't even support ourselves
  • Yes, but our whole economy, and maybe even society itself is built on the requirement and assumption of growth.

    We steal tomorrow to pay for today.

    If we stop having enough people to grow, we will collapse under the requirements of our system until a new non-growth economy/society is formed from the ashes.

    I don't think it will be possible to have a smooth transition to a non-growth or low-growth society since very few people will willingly sacrifice the amenities we pay with in debt, which is paid for by predicted growth.

    When that predicted growth goes negative, collectively, we will not be able to afford the things we want, and that will cause mass chaos and potentially even resource wars.

  • Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous
  • It's sometimes hard to separate those feelings

    Maybe a 3 button setup

    • Agreed and acceptable content
    • Disagree and acceptable content
    • Bad content

    Default Rankings are based on minimum bad-content/maximum agreed count
    And controversial ranking is based on minimum bad-content/maximum good-content count (agree+disagree)

    This way even comments that people disagree with can be exposed so long as it's still good content

    Brigadiers who blindly vote everything bad content to maliciously influence rankings can be identified and removed for manipulation, while people who vehemently disgree with an idea can still have that outlet without influencing the community/magazine haphazardly

  • NSFW
    /r/interestingasfuck forced open, lowers its standard of what qualifies as "interesting", gets flooded with adult content [NSFW within two clicks]
  • Backups sure, but notice I said "going forward"

    On the internet, something from two days ago can be stale data

    They can have as many pristine backups as they want, but the people buying that data want the fresh data, and now, at least on pics/videos/interestingasfuck/etc they don't have that, they have John Oliver and porn (and sometimes both!)

    That is less valuable than the authentic data from before this fiasco
