If I had to guess based on that sub-headline, I'd assume that this probably is about some disparity in air quality in areas predominantly populated by different groups of people, and using a headline like this as a sort of clickbait to get people who would see that and go "Oh, so they think air is racist now, how absurd" to share and look at it. In any case, if it is indeed pointing out some systemic disparity like that, then that isnt the same thing as saying that everyone on the more fortunate end is personally racist in their opinions, just that a difference in average life circumstances exists.
Does divorce by itself even lower the birthrate though? Intuitively, one might suspect that a couple that were no longer interested in eachother probably isn't having many children, compared to if those people were to pair off again with new partners?
I mean, it was inarguably violence, and that violence seems to have a political motive (since changing or reforming the healthcare system is considered a political issue), and there is an element of using fear to further that end (since he would obviously have known that he cannot realistically change everything by himself or even just shoot every health insurance CEO, but shooting one while featuring a catchy phrase to make it clear the motive was being fed up with the health system, potentially makes all the other such CEOs and people in similar positions afraid that the next guy to try this might go after them next, and that more might be inspired seeing the shooting). Id argue that it does technically fit the term. People are just so used to that term being used alongside causes that they have no agreement with that they think it can never apply to a good one, or consider if it can ever be justified.
I've never actually had alcohol, don't even know what it tastes like. Not for age reasons (I'm 25), but the thought of having my faculties/inhibitions lower triggers my anxiety disorder a bit, and I don't like being around drunk people, so I've always been something of a teetotaler.
Antimatter does not replicate the way microbes do to be fair. It's dangerous to handle in large enough amounts obviously, be we don't have the energy to produce enough to create a serious danger nor the technology to store that amount at once.
To be fair, while I seriously suspect Trump's stance towards Gaza will probably be worse than Kamala's would have been, He isnt exactly in office yet, so his fault in this is at most limited to Israel anticipating that he probably wont do anything when he is. Had Kamala won, what is happening today would likely be largely the same.
The whole "either you hate the Palestinians or you hate the Jews" narrative that pops up whenever Israel does something wrong is part of the problem. The government of Israel uses its demographics as something of a shield from criticism, by stating that it is the Jewish state, and thus that to accuse them of wrongdoing is to be antisemitic. But it is not so; not everyone who is Jewish agrees with or desires what Israel is doing, they cant, no matter how many they might bring on board, because it is an ethnic and religious identity that includes some, like children, who aren't even able to understand and agree to it. The actions of Israel are not the actions of Jewish people as a whole, and they never will be, because ethnic groups simply do not work that way. If anyone is being antisemitic here, it is the Israeli state itself, for attempting to tie their very real atrocities to Jewish people in order to coerce people into ignoring them. Its like the rhetorical equivalent of a criminal taking a hostage in order to deter arrest.
To be fair, I'm not sure if "just arrest anyone convenient and frame them", is entirely in the wealthy's interest here. Making an example is one thing, sure, but if you do that and dont get the guy that actually did it, then you have a guy out there who has proven themselves willing to go out and assassinate CEOs, who may well decide to do it again. If you do have the means to catch that guy, then what motivation is there to not just send him through the court system rather than framing someone else? Less risk of a frame up being discovered and sparking even more resentment if you have at least some genuine evidence, after all.
Rigid (as in using a solid frame to keep shape instead of gas pressure) airships? Unless there's an earlier example of that than the ones Zeppelin made that I'm not thinking of
I think that message was a sort of sarcastic way of getting around a "dont talk about jury nullification" rule, in that saying "we cant talk about x", while making it very clear what x is, prompts people unfamiliar with x to go look it up
If the holy wine (I forget the proper term for it) is supposed to be the blood of Jesus, does that imply that if you concentrate that wine and then run an engine off it, you have a Jesus fueled car?
Forget that, what powers them? Something that can be read with a close by scanner makes some since since I figure you could induce a current in one, but the kind you sometimes see in movies that constantly sends out a signal that some satellite can clearly track anywhere in the world, and do so for days, weeks, months or longer, would need one heck of a battery I'd imagine? And in a very small space too
I don't think I've personally encountered anything too weird, but a family member of mine apparently once had a coworker named "Orangello", who had a sibling named "Lemongello"
This makes me wonder what happens if a person with dual citizenship that includes one country that makes name changes hard and one that does not, legally changes their name in the easier one. Do the two countries end up disagreeing over what that person's name is, or is there some kind of international agreement on recognizing the same names to prevent confusion for law enforcement and such?
I've actually heard a story from a family member once about briefly encountering a kid with that name and pronunciation. So either funny coincidence to meet the same kid, or there's more than one set of parents out there that thought that was a clever name idea somehow.
