Oil rebounded, but Reagan/Thatcher era neoliberal policy remains. I’m not saying the oil crisis wasn’t a factor, but I think this lasting wage stagnation has more to do with explicit policy that promoted oligopolies than it does to do with the supply of energy resources.

Devil’s always in the details.

If some is good, then more is better, right?

Debate and consensus is the point of the UN. However, the US continues to use its veto in the UNSC to block resolutions related to Israel… Consequences are indeed needed, but I wouldn’t be quick to blame the UN as such.

Israel is slowly losing the support it needs to get away with this genocide…

I think Mexico is 2040, but the colour legend is terrible and I’m really not sure.

Oh to be young.

Somehow both the most and least scary thing on the list…

Not only that, but CICO on its own terms just isn’t at all useful. It’s like saying “the cure to poverty is to make more than you spend.” Like, no shit. It’s just fully handwaving in terms of anything actionable. What are the barriers to exertion? What effect does food type have on feeling satiated? Is there a biochemical mechanism? Psychological? Social?

It’s just an absurd reduction to “personal responsibility” that seems to be the default answer to any widespread, population level problems that the speaker doesn’t really understand.

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs…

Try 60+. It’s good for your health.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they’re often overlooked (speaking from experience).

It was Celiac for me… It’s such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of “just getting on with it.”

Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.

I think this is actually one of the most in-touch posts I’ve ever seen by a business. It was posted here, wasn’t it? They knew.

Yeah, and as someone lse mentioned: they often have a Libby service that gets you tonnes of free audiobooks and other digital materials.

Both can be true.

I mean, you’re not wrong - but it’s a technique used every day for super-resolution microscopy.

There’s some surprisingly sci-fi stuff that’s possible with image deconvolution. Not exactly practical, but it is possible to recover some information from a blurry photo.

That’s exactly why I came to Lemmy: different trash.
