  • They didn't say that either. Where do you get this idea from that they're talking about (all) US news sites?

    They said "American propaganda websites". That may include some news sites. It may also not include some news sites.

    The most you could infer from their statement is that only American propaganda websites violate the GDPR.

    Of course websites exist that violate the GDPR and are not American propaganda websites.

    But the vast majority of websites commiting severe violations of the GDPR that an average European encounters will be American propaganda websites.

    (Believe it or not, Europeans don't often visit websites written in Russian or Chinese.)

  • If they really needed to get around to doing that, the boss would've already hired another employee to do that task.

    Not doing so implies that paying someone just for that task wouldn't be worth it.

    That does not change when a worker becomes available from somewhere else.

  • To be fair, 8.5 is marked as 1 in 3000, meaning that 2999/3000 women look worse. Even 6.0 is marked as "Top 15%".

    So definitely not something they "expect" most women to look like.

  • I wonder how many people would actually sort them similar to how they're sorted in the first picture.

    Because to me the distribution of attractive people between 5.0 and 10 seems to be completely random.

  • Many projects take a long time to become profitable. The workers would starve until then.

    Because of that, they need to borrow wealth to be able to keep working on the project until it becomes profitable.

    The concept of lending wealth is therefore necessary.

    Noone is gonna accept the risk of lending out wealth unless they expect some gain, some profit.

    Therefore the workers promise to not only repay the lent wealth but to also pay on top of that, perhaps a share of the project's profit.

    Hence the concept of profitable investment is necessary.

  • 32500000000 KW/h per year

     
        
    That's 32500000000 kWh/y
    = 32500000000 * k * W * h / y
    = 32500000000 * k * W * h / (365 * 24 * h)
    = 32500000000 * k * W * h / 8760 / h
    = 32500000000 / 8760 * k * W * h / h
    = 3710046 * k * W * 1
    = 3710046 kW
    
      

    (You actually corrected yourself later when converting to mW.)

  • I do not believe the majority of people don't know about the effects of climate change. I believe that the majority of people voting against climate friendly policies simply choose to not think long term.

    Someone who votes to continue the status quo is to be blamed for the status quo.

  • You can limit capitalism without abolishing it.

    In Germany people are guaranteed 20/24 paid vacation days. That's not profitable.

    That's a limit imposed on capitalism. It can be done and has been done without abolishing capitalism.

    That's just one of the thousands of policies that limit capitalism.

    You can limit capitalism (as literally every capitalist nation does) without abolishing it.

    Enforcing climate friendlyness would be just another limit.

  • Your first link is US only, your second link is about a completely seperate issue. You don't need to dismantle capitalism to protect the climate.

    In Germany, where I live, the voters could easily vote for the greens "Grüne" and the left "Linke".

    If those two parties had a majority in government, we'd have a climate friendly system in no time.

    But they don't. We had a conservative government for 16 years. Now we have a center government, which sadly includes the small government / free market party "FDP", blocking all significant progress.

    No systemic oppression stops people from voting Left/Greens. But they never did, and never will.

    There's now an uprise of the far right party "AfD" in Germany, to the point it's becoming one of the major parties.

    In Germany people have the choice readily available to stop actively damaging the climate.

    But every couple of years, they freely choose to not do that.

    I feel like many left-wing people regularly forget about the billions of people who genuinely do not care to do anything about climate change.

  • These people aren't "you".

    I could make a similar statement:

    Child? You're literally being abused and raped by your parents on a regular basis.

    This statement is true for a lot more children than the prior statement is for black people.

    It's still a stupid statement.

    No, being a child doesn't mean you'll be abused and being black doesn't mean you'll be attacked.

  • Luckily many people live in democracies where they can simply vote to enact climate policies.

    Sadly most people living in those democracies choose to continue enabling climate change.

    The reason nothing is being done against climate change isn't corrupt politicians. It's the millions of people voting for them.
