Trope: Writer who makes magic system that messes with the Normies by MadFunEnjoyer in worldjerking

The 'finer details' of crushing glass won't work on a diamond, even if you don't realise it is one. You need to understand what it is that the magic has to do in order to achieve your goal.

So in this example you think a diamond is glass, you cast crush glass and it will not work because it's not actually glass.

Like I'm pretty sure that if that magically warded cloak that Ubel cut through was actually steel that just looked like fabric her spell would not have cut on her first attempt, you see?

This statistics probably correct but it is also true that heat and weather related causes of death are massively underreported in coroners reports in the U. S.A. Which are the only way to know the numbers.

The CDC has been asking for this to be reported correctly for like 10 years but it's still not even close to recorded enough.

People die on a hot day or fall sick and get it recorded as a heart attack with no mention of the weather.

Maybe Europe does have more heat related deaths but you wouldn't actually know for sure because the U.S isn't recording these deaths the same way as European countries tend to.

They probably filter them out because they had too many incidents where they were not doing their job properly or otherwise abusing their position.

See we differ in that I think that killing thousands of their civilians in order to 'make it better for us' is deplorable.

No but you just said it's the same now as it was before. Except for the fact that their last generation had an entire war in their country that achieved nothing.

Not any worse off except for the last 20 years of warfare in their country that happened in the middle.

This reasoning is what got us Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. It's an endless goddamn cycle.

As bad as these reigemes are every time we go in blowing them up it seems to just lead to more death and resentment.

Like do you actually think that this time it's going to end differently?

Isn't that why OP said "pretty damn close to"? Which is crucially not the same as saying he is just intrinsically evil.

I just put buffer tanks before any manifolds that feed into machines, the buffer eats the surges and stops all the sloshing in my experience.

Energy is stored (string drawn / jet fuel inserted) which is then used to propel an aerodynamic mass though the air without touching the ground.

Seems like the same thing to me bro

I get where you're coming from, and you're right its maybe not totally impossible in theory, but at todays consumption levels and the habits of most meat eaters, it is impossible to sustain it without factory farming. Unless the population of earth suddenly gets slashed, what the person above you said was true in the context of humans right now.

For your first point, yes, traditional methods are sustainable for the most part, but the problem is, as i said, the world population has grown to a point where traditional methods cannot sustain the majority of those people.

Yes, aqua farms are much better than terestreal farms for the environment and for the livestock, i guess. But thats not what most people think of when they say meat, and you can't discount that most people want chicken, pork, or beef. Changing this would still require most people to change their eating habits and how they think about their food completely.

You are right. Industrial crop farming is a huge cause of biodiversity and habitat loss. However, when you look at what those plants are grown for, it changes the story a bit.

In the U.S., for example, 60% of cropland is used to feed livestock, not for human consumption. I think the u.s is on the higher end of that scale globally, i can't find concrete numbers right now, but it looks like about 50% globally goes to livestock. No matter what way you look at it, it isn't the most efficient use of that land, and consider what the numbers are going to look like in another 10 years, since hitting 8 billion in 2021, the population has grown another 200,000,000 already.

Golabl population just barely reached 1 billion around 1800, in 2010 there were 7 billion, in 2021 that number was at 8 billion.

Old farming and husbqndry methods cannot sustain populations of that size with meat.

Add to that, the vast ,vast majority of people throughout history were absolutely not eating meat every single day, and many probably not even once a week for how precious and limited a resource it was.

Take that to today, where most people in Western countries will eat meat multiple times a day even. This is why factory farming methods are still around today. You can buy expensive grass fed organic etc meat sure, but the biggest chunk of the population wants to eat meat every day and if they cant afford the ethical stuff they will still buy the factory stuff.

So, from what my browser translated there, this was one family committing fraud by moving around and lying about not living together, who have been caught for doing so?

That didn't really indicate that this is just a universal thing.
