Yeah, and men who support women’s right. Need to support this as well.

Seriously, look at recent events in Texas. Having sex with women while republicans are in power. It is a potential death sentence for those women.

Unless you can groove beyond doubt, one off you is infertile. And honestly, given the way some republicans are. Only trust your own eyes on the microscope when checking. Because forcing doctors to lie to women is far from beyond some of these people.

Honestly, leaving the US for a more liberal nation is the only safe option the way things are looking.

Yeah no disagreement.

My comment was more being practical. IE the real world we live in. If it was not for conflict ( first ww2 then cold war ). Rockets and space travel would never have seen the funding needed to develop. This goes on the pretty much everything - GPS, communications, weather n and on. All of it was funded mainly due to the military.

Without that it is hard if not impossible to imagine the wealthy considering the investment in tech worthwhile. And at the end of it. Real world the desire for the rich to protect or grow their position is the cause of all the above throughout history.

Honestly, I’m not saying this is a good thing, it’s fucking depressing.

But without war. I doubt the world would have moved past feudalism. There just would not be the motivation to change.

Glad he found something to do with his little mushroom.

unfortunaty large parts of our “exploring the wonders of the universe” has been developed from “firing explody rockets at eachother.”

Yep. That is more about getting weight into space. As we know water can provide protection.

But the issue of moving water from earth to space then building a 2 layered craft strong enough to surrou d passengers with a foot or more of water. While doable theoretically. Is just a huge huge task.

If mankind is seriose about such. Robotic collection of ice from space is more practice. Moving it towards earth using it to create hydrogen and oxygen slowly via solar. Then using that to move the water itself into earth near orbit. From there building a vessel able to rotate and protect occupants from radiation etc would be possible.

But seriosly the amount of work involved. Mars really is not the best place to go. Once humanity has developed the ability to generate graverty. Confirmed mankind can live is centrifugal generated enviroments. And developed to robotics to move ice and asteroids into orbit.

Honestly building O’Neil station like structures would be healthier then trying to live in 1/3 g of Mars anyway. Mars is worth learning about. But musks population plan is not really the best way to make humanity less at risk of planetary loss.

Unless someone nasa/or musk, starts looking at the effects of centrifugal gravity on long term health.

Its just not going to happen. Atm anyone travelling to Mars is unlikely to be fit to explore by landing. Given the trip length.

But we have understood centrifugal artificial gravity since before space flight, and planned to experiment on iss.

But cheep politics has not bothered.

Can’t imagine them tasting very good.

I spose if you wrap um in bacon, pretty much anything taste good. But at some point. It’s just a waste of good bacon.

As likely as this is. (not that Oxfam is exactly the scientific research org I look to for evidence. I do not have any reason to doubt)

But it seems to me the top 1% is an easy target. When the huge commercial shipping to reduce labour costs and cheap plastic packaging etc used to handle it are equal if not a much larger overall cause of deaths.

Just a much harder oner to argue for the change of, even if public opinion can actually have more effect.

The top 1% have ignored public opinion since the invention of money. Commercial cooperation may try, but hiding or greenwashing is normally the closest they get.

Nope. Nor evidence of it haveing ever existed.

The above guess is no better then religion. Based on current evidence.

Seriosly the freedom of women in Afghanistan is a seriose issue. As it is in many places.

But Cats seems to be a very very bad example. Most of the world. With the exception of a few owners that keep them indoors.

They are the pet with the most freedom. More so then any human.

Unless she is specifically considering the female feline mating experience.

Very Much this ^.

All fines do is force too poor to walk when they cannot afford the fine or other options. If that is the goal, free/cheap access to pools and sports centres as we had in the 70s was a better solution.

If the goal is to stop driving. Points on the licence. And providing practical alternatives.

Politics not supporting younger voters is not the same as young voters not being political.

Your statistics are not a valid criticism of gen Z. But of our generation and our failure to support the end of FPTP over other issues.

A 2-second look at the fucking fiscal mess we as a generation have left by voting for property prices and removing support for the higher education costs we had. Makes it pretty clear why those opinions exist. They are not a rejection of politics. But a rejection of the politics pushed by our generation of voters.

I am Pretty sure the narcissistic claims about trump are true.

This means he actually believes his insane lies. He trully thinks anyone who disagreeswith him is wrong. And any success they have is due to corruption not valid arguments.

IE he is a fucking nutt case.

Honestly as an older git.

The whole idea that the younger generation is not interested. Is hardly a new one unique to gen Z.

Pretty much every generation since the 1900 has been accused of this.

The only difference is how much change in culture each generation has had to face.

Honeatly pre 1900s. One generation did not face much change from that of their grandparents world. Since then each generation has seen more change then the last. As technical groth has sped up notable even in my 50 plus yeae lifetime. The changes have been notable.

But each generation. As they age a % develop interest in things to a higher level. Little indicates gen z are any different in this.

My first thought.

But u assume it dosent includw land or actual trains etc. Just laying the line.

Still seems cheap compared to the UK HS2.

Ill add. My now passed grandfather raised me.

He was a pacifist durimg the second world war. He and many were forced to mine resorces. As they refused to fight. As he was an engineer he was eventually reasigned to other work. Aircraft instrament manufacture at smiths.

But at no point did he think the UK should just allow germany to take over.

He just knew he was not able to fight himself. This was a commonf feeling among those conscripted during the second world war. And will always be a risk whe. A mation needs to defend itself from agressors.

Not all of a nations people are best suited to fight.

Given the requests for more military aid comes from people in ukraine.

Seems. Your the one arguing against them from a position of safty.

Were the best at, exporting actors with crappy opinions to the US.

Bit slow on politicians but Farage and Subak will get there.

Yep tuis is the history of cars.

The UK was the leader in the 50s. Changed to US cars in the 70s. Due to better (more reliable) byild quality and cheaper build standards. Then to japan again more reliable and cheaper.

China is on cheaper and reliability is catching up. Given priority changes and tech changes. Its ti be wxpected.

Sorta suprised its only 6.

Given its clearly a polutical hot potato. Thanks to tories intentionaly using it to divide and anger some voters.

I cant help but wonder about motives.

The most non negative reason i can think of for MPs not to be bothered. Is fear that thos is more common amonst younger folks who grew up with the idea more acceptable.

As those folks are also more likely to be living at home with family. There is a reasonbly high chance the data would be inaccurate depending on views of head of household.

IE any subject that is politically sensitive would need indevidual secret collection of data. As not everyone would be comfortable discussing it with family members.
