Let me start by saying, I believe in human caused climate change, I believe it’s the biggest threat to the world at large currently.

I have to ask did any the doom and gloom people in this comment section read the article? Specifically the part where it says that it’s happens there every three to five years? I live in Colorado and have experienced snow in the mountains in summer. In fact Arapahoe Basin is still open to skiing for another two weeks this year. Sometimes it’s going to snow in the mountains in June.

I’m going to finish by stating once again that I believe that climate change is a threat that all of humanity faces on a daily basis, I just don’t know if “semi regular summer snow hits highland Scottish Mountains” is the apocalyptic omen that people here are saying it is. There’s plenty of those if you look around: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/antarcticas-doomsday-glacier-is-melting-even-faster-than-scientists-thought/

I use the Voyager app to browse Lemmy and it has those filters.

All disputes, including territorial ones, were resolved long ago, in the middle of the 20th century.

Kinda like how the border disputes with Ukraine were solved in the late 20th century. Great example of “don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing”

Couldn’t they have protested some other way, without destroying property? At least, that was the question asked by the US oligarchs during the protests in 2020.

Having a girl on our team wasn’t a problem, she was a great player and was as good or better than many of the guys on our team including me. So how was she the weaker sex?

When I was in school, there was only girls volleyball and no boy’s volleyball team so I have a question, say the person in this article wasn’t transgender but it was a boy (born with male genitalia and identifying as a male) who wanted to play volleyball. If there were no boy’s volleyball team at the school, would he be allowed to play on the girl’s team? I only ask because isn’t that how Title 9 has been interpreted?

This is anecdotal but I played hockey in high school and wrestled one year, we had a girl on our hockey team because we had no girl’s hockey team, she was a lot better than me too, I also remember one of our wrestlers wrestling a girl from another school because there was no girl’s wrestling team. There were no issues in either of those cases.

Regardless of all that, if there’s only one volleyball team at the school and it’s an all women sport, if a boy or transgender girl wants to play, it seems to me they should be allowed on that team if there’s no other opportunities for them to play.

I’ll finish this by saying: I am one person and these are my thoughts not a strong opinion that I’m going to live or die by so I don’t want to start an argument , just a discussion.

You can make that much but in places they don’t. I worked as a radiology aide and an OR aide at a local hospital when I was in college, thought about pursuing nursing as both of my parents are nurses. Two years there and one year of pre nursing in college and I thought “why am I going into this career? I get treated like crap by those above me and the patients, I get no support from my supervisors, I come home every day tired and complaining about work, and the stuff I bitch about is stuff my dad says has been happening since the hospital opened in the 70s” I got a degree in history and now I work as a PM for a contracting company that specializes in historic preservation, making more than I ever would as a nurse and I go to work and go home everyday in a pretty good mood.

If everyone working in the hospital wasn’t being treated like shit then I probably would be a nurse today but my time at the hospital was a huge eye opener.

Both of my parents worked in health care and in the US, circumcision is treated as preventative treatment for things like UTIs and other complications.

At this point in my life, I’m not planning on having children. Would I circumcise them? Probably not as I think it should be a personal choice.

I understand the implications and I think it should be the person’s choice, not the parents but as a person with a penis whose parents had him circumcised, I don’t think about it ever really and it doesn’t affect my day to day life.

In answer to your questions, I’m not sure why they did it.

The US Civil War comes to mind.

The Room is fun/bad so I don’t think of it as a bad movie. When I think of a bad movie, I think of one I never want to see ever again. That’s just my two cents though.

The Devil Inside, I’m not a huge horror fan and possession/haunted house movies are my least favorite of the genre. I went because that’s what my date wanted to see. It was so boring I started to fall asleep and when it finally got a little more exciting, Spoilers it ended with a sudden car crash, cut to black, and then text popped up saying that if you want to know more, go to some bullshit website. What a waste of $40.

My comment is a reply to comment on the original post.

What does an on ice accident have to do with America?

So he’s offering that money to name it after himself?

I’m not even clicking on that link, I never click on stuff with that turd’s name on the headline, just wanted to make the joke.

Oh wait, you’re serious?

Or maybe it’s a much more nuanced situation where both sides have been the “bad guy” and murder by one side doesn’t justify murder by the other.

While we’re at it, can we get them to make stores include tax in the price listed as well? I’m happy to pay tax because we benefit from it but having tacked on at the end seems like a hidden fee to me.
