This doesn’t even make sense. Rich people love houses by water. See all beachfront and lakefront property.

And human ingenuity is figuring out ways for people to create .1 damage compared to 1 damage or even ways to create -.1 damage. That’s the point. Malthus and his modern day alcolites can’t imagine ways in which we can avoid damage or even reduce it.

Not similar, when the argument is to switch to a system more like Dahmer’s. Because that is the argument being made when people bitch about “global capitalism.”

I mean, that isn’t really accurate though in the sense that the USSR caused far more environment degradation as it operated compared to similarly sized economies with less benefits to the people. So it isn’t a function of the economic system, but progress in general requires resources. Some systems are better, some…

In regards to the end of the world, no such tradition exists.

Absolutely. That is why it is funny they are called prophets. They might as well be a millennial cult predicting the end of the world.

So basically Vogt is a modern day Malthusian. Continuing the long and failing predictive capabilities of people who don’t have any ability to imagine future human ingenuity.

When he is talking about the fight for his life, maybe he doesn’t mean fight her off, but not bleeding out?

If this a new unwritten rule? Mess with spaniards when they finally stop looking like children?

“Nicotine is only added to cigarettes to make them more addictive, the experience of smoking is left alone for anyone who enjoys it.”

You literally have to live with someone who smokes in the house and in the car for 30 years before medical science begins to find a correlation in cancer rates. Walking by a smoker isn’t any more deleterious than taking a breath in LA, New York, or any other large population center.

They don’t “include it.” It is already part of the product. In the same way, they don’t include caffeine in coffee. It exists there unless you take it out.

And second hand smoke is basically meaningless unless you are in an enclosed area. Since we don’t allow people to smoke indoors pretty much anywhere now, the argument is pointless (except for the few places where you are allowed to do so).

It is an excellent way to keep track of people’s birthdays for the people who never post.

Yeah, I agree to there should have been penalty shot, but if you’d rather have the penalty shot than what you thought was going to be a goal, that isn’t an unreasonable plan. The ref botched it.

Are penalties considered cheating though? It seems like the ref botched the call, but I feel like it is fairly acceptable to commit non-violent penalties to try and stop an imminent scoring situation. Sort of like intentional fouls in basketball.

Military historians consider it one of the most important factors in military success. Obviously it is complementary with leadership and equipment, but an anarchist army is going to have absolutely zero leadership or cohesion if they are ideologically committed to anarchy. Leaders are hierarchical and hierarchies…

That’s how you retroactively punish people, not how you stop them from doing things in most cases.
