A few more words to clarify a couple of stuff.

The way I see things, the current wave of feminism is using the analytical tool of intersectionality which allows mistakes of the past to be addressed and not to be repeated.

Last time I checked, I also concluded that terfs are still a thing. For me, there is nothing radical in being a transphobe, so I think we should just call them that: transphobes. They can call themselves feminists, the word is out there for anyone to use. And this is why every time someone tells me they are a feminist I ask them and/or try to see how they see intersectionality so I know to who I am talking (if they are westerners, that is). And I hope by now it is clear, I don’t go into conversations defending the purity of movements.

Personnally, I do not reproduce quotes that haven’t age well. The OP, you and everyone do as you want. I am not quote- police or something.

I find it weird you mention the 'no true Scotsman" fallacy for TERFs. The acronym means Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist.

This is in part the older, gender neutral usage of “man” meaning “human” and in part ignorance about woman issues.

Sure, in good faith we need to take into account the historical background. Still, the quote “If you’re a man, you take it” in 2026, sounds more like something coming from the manosphere.

There were black women who felt left out both from black liberation movements and from feminism.

This is why feminism evovled to be intersectional.

Since you’re reading about this topic, here are some free MIT courses on nuclear science.

You are right in the sense that it looks like the author is a real person, because they appear to have linked a linkedin profile (I say appear because right now I cannot access my linkedin account to veryfy it).

Nevertheless, if you copy-paste the text in this AI detector it says that it is 100% AI generated.

I’m sorry but this video is distoring the term epigenetics. Epigenetics is not a something that started happening in our era, it was simply something that was discovered recently.

Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression that occur without altering the DNA sequence. […] Epigenetics usually involves changes that persist through cell division, and affect the regulation of gene expression. Such effects on cellular and physiological traits may result from environmental factors, or be part of normal development. [wiki]

The first red flag for me was the all caps banner thingy “protect this man at all cost”. So idecided to look him up, and I didn’t like what I found.

It’s not only that he is a Ted Cruz guy. Mainly, it’s that his theories, the ones he talks about in this video, are only presented in books, not in peer reviewed journal (if I somehow missed it please share a link). He does have peer reviewed papers on other topics, which is irrelevant to this conversation.

The good life for the both of you!!

The way I see things, we/humans are not the problem. The system that is currently dominant is. Meaning systems change and even tho those in power try to make us think otherwise.

For example, in the past many people believed that it’s impossible to have “proper” societies without a king. Time proved them wrong.

I wanted to ask you where did you find this stat? I have the impression I didn’t see something like that in the post.

I like the vertically mounted bifacial panels.
Highly recommended for areas that get a lot of snow.

Great of you to notice this, and that you went to the vet - you already know you saved Wirt’s life.

My understanding is that dry food is not really ideal for cats. In the wild, these small carnivores, eat small prey and get the liquids they need from their food. This is why where I live, people say that cats don’t drink water. The simple urinary dry food, makes them drink more, so by peeing more the crystals don’t get formed. The medicinal food for struvite, on top of that it has also has something that dilutes the crystals.

The water fountain you got sounds like a great idea. Since you have more than one cats and if you don’t live in a tiny studio apartment, please conciser having - if you have for example 2 cats:

• 2 sources for drinking water in different places. One can easily be a bowl with fresh water in the sense to change it daily.
• 2 litter boxes, with plenty of sand in them, cleaned on daily basis
• the litter box and water not be close to each other

Currently I have only one cat and he had the same issue twice during the summertime. Both times he had to do a procedure with full anesthesia. Since he can go out almost whenever he wants and during summer whenever he wants, and because we live in a neighborhood that we feed the strays, during summer he was also eating low quality dry food. This is -most probably- why he had the second, perhaps even the first incidents. Something that worked in our case was the following: during winter he eats the simple urinary and during summer the medicinal for struvite. Several years have passed since the last incident, but it’s true that during summer I am super alert.

Of course double-check what I say with your vet, and if you are told something different, please let me know!

It looks like the Cypriot government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said:

“Regarding statements and reports referring to the launching of missiles towards Cyprus, it is clarified that this is not true and there is no indication whatsoever that there was a threat to the country.”

Maybe so, maybe no. It depends on what we do. If we do nothing, sure. If we act towards solution, no.

Doomerism does not leave room for action, like if things are predetermined. So I cannot agree with your point of view.

Tbh I find the “net zero” approach problematic on so many levels that I hesitated posting this article. But due to the fact that this is an analysis of the press that had a span of almost 15 years of this topic, it seemed like worth posting.

Apart from that, personally I agree with you (if I got you right) that privatisation of the energy sector in the UK , or any sector I can think of actually, is to the detriment of all living beings and the environment as a whole. Still I don’t mind researches that talk about other relevant things, even if I consider them less important, for example. Meaning, looking at one thing, doesn’t mean not looking to another.

I suppose, this is quite debatable, because the current money system does waste a whole lot of energy, It’s just not calculated how much. Honestly, if you have have links showing how much energy the banking system consumes globally, please share.

On the other hand, bitcoin’s blockchain is a decentralised and transparent system. This is not something that the banking system can claim.

Industrial manufacturing is declining in Europe for sure, but not because of complying to climate policies, as you claimed. Industrial production is falling in most European Union countries, largely due to a lack of competitiveness with China and the US.

Also, the article you linked about the EU loosing manufacturing jobs does not back your claim. On the contrary it says: The move to a sustainable economy is an opportunity to turn the situation around. Towards the end, it also mentions that the EU should make sure that industry jobs are not lost and that Europe’s industrial sectors and their workers are fundamental to delivering the climate solutions Europe needs, which are very different things to what you said.

The leading countries in addressing climate change appear to have prioritized their efforts at the expense of industrial growth,

Personaly, I would be glad if this were the case. Honestly, I wonder how you came to this conclusion

Carbon dioxide from Google’s power plant will be injected into the same geological storage formations already used by ADM’s ethanol facility. The site is the location of the first long-term CO2 storage well in the U.S.

Typically, around 2,000 metric tons of CO2 are sent into the well every day. But injections there were halted in 2024 when salty brine, which stores dissolved CO2 deep underground, was found to have migrated into “unauthorized zones,” according to the EPA. ADM said the leak was the result of corrosion at a monitoring well, E&E News reported, and they’ve since resumed injections.

A recent study of 13 CCS facilities representing 55% of all captured carbon shows that most aren’t living up to expectations.
