Except we arrived at that 2 million number based on the testimony of a handful of “random” citizens in the region, and also Uyghurs are exempt from the one-child policy. On top of that, diplomats from UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Tunisia and Bosnia have all visited Xinjiang and expressed support for their methods in fighting extremism.
Maybe try reading things that aren’t from Adrien Zenz or Radio Free Asia.
Shit is worrying. I’m extremely ignorant to the science of infectious diseases, but at least from my layman’s point of view, it is extremely concerning how this virus went from exploding across the entire globe in wild animal populations, to now infecting cattle, to then infecting goats in such a short time span… It seems like it is progressively getting worse, and any one of these millions of new infections per day could be the one that mutates just right to be able to hop between humans.
I’m dubious of all the articles stressing the “risk is extremely low, so stay calm” sentiment. That sentiment seems less about giving good advice to make people feel comfortable, and more like a means to minimize panic - which there surely will be if this bug starts hopping between people, and that 50% lethality rate holds steady.
A bird flu pandemic would be less about social distancing, and more about huddling with a shotgun in your basement.
I’d argue that once you are feeling effects of the drug, you are no longer micro dosing.
Micro dosing started out as a way to describe the maximum amount of substance you could take without feeling primary effects.
Am I just a pessimist, or is it starting to appear as if escalation of conflict in the Middle East is inevitable?
Haven’t there been talks of a link between mouthwash and throat/mouth cancer?
That’s not from the bill; that’s from a press release.

If it’s so black and white, then why are there numerous international councils, courts, and meetings where accusations of genocide are fiercely debated?

What you’re doing here is subtly shifting the burden of phone addiction from software companies and phone manufacturers back onto end users.
You’re glossing right over the fact that these teams have the very best software engineers, mechanical engineers, marketers, ad people, psychologists, and doctors for the purpose of making these endlessly scrolling apps as addictive and hard to avoid as possible.
I read your comment and think about the people who say “why are you depressed? Just go lift some weights. It all comes down to you”
Keir Starmer?
Everything I read about this dude characterizes him as abandoning left wing policy in favor of center, center-right policy.
4th paragraph of his wikipedia page
His leadership has been characterised by movement towards the political centre and abandonment of the left-wing platform of his leadership campaign, as well as by opposition to some of the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic and issues such as Partygate
I just think it’s strange for you to insinuate that the position of the left is that of Israel’s.
Who are these voices on the “left” that you say are supporting Israel?
Very impressive making a take that in no way addresses the status quo, which is, and has been, extremely violent with a massive power imbalance.
Because American and western politics are obsessed with explaining the world in terms of good vs bad instead of material conditions. Liberalism has rotted the brains of the western populace such that all events are viewed through the lens of marvel movies. Le epic wholesome Israel Captain America vs evil Thanos Hamas.
I disagree. Conservatives are not the cause of climate change; capitalism is.
Both liberals and conservatives are bought and paid for by special interests.
Hoping for our liberal demagogues to solve these issues by sticking to “civil”, “non-violent”, or “state-approved” methods will do nothing but refine the capitalist system as it currently operates.
The only way forward is to call out climate change for what it is: violence imposed upon working-class people. The time for civility has passed - it only plays into the hands of the ruling class as they spend decade after decade filling the atmosphere with pollution. The liberals and democrats aren’t going to save us. Only we can.
End small-dick hate.
You mean like when they were claiming that the entire world was going to have Houthis begging for a timeout during the Red Sea crisis?
“Houthis about to learn why we don’t have free Healthcare hur dur”
