Vote Democrat/Green and give to charities that work in 3rd world countries, as they will be hardest hit.

Isn't mind a necessary condition for subjective experience?

It's a small percentage of men in first world countries.

Suppose there's a parallel universe where everything else is the same, but men are weaker than women. Would we see the same rates of rape and abuse?

Men have been abusing women from the dawn of recorded history. I'm sure the abuse happend way before that. If you get a bunch of men and women togethe...

If you mean the human species will continue, I tend to agree. I don't see us getting wiped out by climate change. But I think we could lose a big chun...

Oh, so you agree climate change is an existential threat? Or a probable existential threat?

I thought there was a 50/50 chance it came from a Chinese lab when it first hit. Now I think there's probably a 70% chance it came from a lab.

Let's say China is to blame. What is Trump going to do about it?

Do you think we can dig up and burn gigatons of fossil fuels for 150+ years and not have a catastrophic effect on the climate? Isn't that something a ...

That's not good. I may have to hedge my prediction a little.

Well, the arms shipments and intelligence sharing is back on, so Zelensky's position is status quo, and the status quo is Ukraine is not going to cede...

I live in California. There's not going to be martial law and there's not going to be a civil war. Trump can't even fire federal workers without judge...

The Democrats would support a war against Iran??? Do you live in America?

Afghanistan was losing for years too. Until they weren't. That's my point. Maybe. Or maybe Putin has a date with an open window in the near future.

There are two political parties in America. I'm pointing out that one of them has not lost it's mind when it comes to foreign policy. It would receive...

Why would Zelensky go for that deal? If I'm Zelensky, and I can count on EU support and probably U.S. support, aren't I hoping Russia will get tired o...

A majority of House Democrats voted against the war. Obama beat out Clinton mostly because he was against the war from the start. The Democrats have b...

That was how it started. Putin doesn't want Berlin, but he certainly thought he could take Kiev. Who would have predicted that after several years, Ru...

Civil war? Lol. For a country of 340 million people, there is a vanishingly small amount of actual political violence. People attack each other online...

But doesn't there come a point where you just can't stand living in a certain country anymore? It seems like you've reached that point.

It sounds like this is really bothering you. Maybe you'd be happier if you told the U.S. to fuck off and moved to a Muslim-majority country. Maybe Yem...

What country do you live in?

I don't know. There's a deep reservoir of hate for Putin the in the old GOP members. They might balk at this. I can't say. The whole thing is a cult, ...

GOP only has 53 senators. If just a couple break ranks, that can be very significant. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/...

That's not true. Republicans are speaking out now.

I think there are still enough votes in Congress to authorize more aid to Ukraine.

That's depressing, I'm not watching it. I'm taking me ebike out. It's a nice day in Southern California.

No, coffee's not an escape.

Life is hard. Why deprive us of our little pleasures, like smoking and drinking?

Of course it doesn't. That's Israel's job. The war will continue until Palestinians accept their defeat. It took huge amounts of suffering for Germany...
