Gloomy

The right is losing it because Harris said she worked at a McD bad has shown no prove of it.

Possible she never has and it's a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.

This right is behaving as if Trump never told a single lie in his long life. It's Harris making a claim without backing it up has been THE THING all week now on most right wing forums I peek at.

Then there's the first six months of caring for a newborn, which is intense.

We have 7 month old Twins. Intense is a good word, the last 7 months have been the hardest of my life so far, and I am hitting on 40. That said, it's far from trauma, as far as I understand the term.

Also, my father and by brother died 10 and 5 years ago, both before they were old aged. I am well aware of the concept of moratility, even of my wife's and children's mortality. It doesn't weigh on me personally, honestly. It's just a reality that one has to accept, as there is nothing that can be done about it.

Dude killed himself (the one the article is about).

I disagree.

Evolution is not so much a numbers game. Otherwise Bacteria, Ants, Viruses and the like would have to be crowned winners. So the point op brings up is ~~mute~~ moot.

The point you add, that they keep reproducing, is also not relevant in evelotionary terms. The short amount of time that we have domesticated chickens, let a side the very resent industalisation of animal farming (it started in the 1950s ish), is just not relevante in evelotionary terms.

I'd say what makes a successfull species is resilience. 99 % of all species have gone extinct. The "winners" of evelotion are, in my opinion, those species that have lasted the longest. And in that regard, chicken ain't looking to good. They are highly dependent upon humans. Most industrial chickens are genetic aborninatons, bred for beeing fat, fast growing, egg laying machines to the point where their own bones brake because they lack calcium. I'd argue that chickens in their current form would not last long in "the wild". Hence once humans are gone their is a high chance chickens will follow.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet

And live their lives in fucking misery and suffering, at least most of em.

Would accessibility be a solution here? I am speaking about public transport that has dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, has ramps to get on and off etc., as well as sidewalks that are accesibil by wheelchairs, with a smith surface and ramps to get on and off to. Maybe combine that with lifts to access pedestrian subways and overbrides.

Possibly it could also mean the ability to rent, best case for free and at a place reachable by public transport with very little or no walking, a wheelchair or a simiiular solution that let's one drive rather then walk.

I'm just thinking loud, but maybe such solutions should be considered in every walkable city.

I thought the same :-).

Tough, the books make quite the point that it is not "human" intellegence they have.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We've spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

That's normal and unrelated. It takes about 6 to i months for the final eye colour to manifest on children.

Aside from global warming

I get what you are saying. But that improvement has been possible only because of global warming. Today we have more energy (=workforce) at our hands than ever before. This has imported things, but it's living on bored time Global warming will start to deteriate our world in multiple ways, I fact it is doing so right now.

A collapse of this system build on sand is a very real possibility. And it is a very real possibility that it will take less than a generation to happen.

Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.

Masnick gives 20 levels of development. Elon stopped here:

Level Two: “We’re the free speech platform! But no CSAM!”

And that's about it. Ex-Twitter has copyright infringement, hate speech and doesn't give a fuck about local laws unless the law actually has teeth (Brasil, anybody?).
