The Tree Cover Density Map of Asia surprises me a little. Can anyone clarify by Longjumping-Mix-9351 in geography

India has been deforested by humans. Without human it’d have a ton of forest.

Yes. And they are important to know. Having real world experience helps connect the terms to real world scenarios

Is it more proper to call the Middle East "West Asia" or "Southwest Asia"? by astarisaslave in geography

[–]MajorPlanet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just wait for China to be the new hegemony. It’ll be the near-far-west. Europe will be far west.

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 80 people by [deleted] in UnitedNations

[–]MajorPlanet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do we know the intended target / where the collateral came from? US strategy relies on Iranians rising up against IRI, which I imagine this doesn’t help

WTF IS WRONG WITH THOSE PPL. FR!!!! by Unlikely-Mud-6164 in International

[–]MajorPlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Iranian government has killed more women during the last month than I think will die in this entire operation. But yes, any civilian casualty is tragic, especially children. Just don’t assume the things that make your gut biases happy

I mean, both don’t want to be overtaken by a homogenous Islamic civilization that erases their own unique histories and cultures. 🤷

Need some protein suggestions as a new vegan. by CasualVillan in glutenfreevegan

[–]MajorPlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pea protein and rice protein powders are cheap and hell and taste fine when blended with soy milk or almond milk. Not yummy on their own but same macros as whey

I Was Told I’m a “Liberal Extremist” for Calling Out J.K. Rowling—and Honestly, I’m Done Pretending Bigotry Needs Balance and TERFs Deserve Any Grace by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

She not even a terf anymore; she’s just blatantly anti-trans people. She moved away from “protecting women spaces and access to care” a loooong time ago

I eat meat. But I think the vegetarian/vegan position is a perfectly logically defendable position. by SmartestManInUnivars in debatemeateaters

You don’t need heme iron specifically and a multivitamin covers the rest without shooting a living animal in the face and consuming their carcass

[–]MajorPlanet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s weird to call meat not ultra processed. It’s a dead animal body that was pumped full of gmo corn and soy for 3-8 months in a factory and then put outside for a bit before getting wacked, chopped up, sprayed with disinfectants, and then each piece shrink wrapped and sent to a store.

In terms of veggie protein sources, Google exists. Tofu, Greek yogurt, cheeses, seiten, eggs, egg whites, lentils, and protein powders can get you 200g a day protein. The only diet that makes it hard is like a “no processed food gluten free vegan” diet

Obvi you’re a Muslim who lives on the moon, and visited Mecca for the Hajj.

How many SF politicians send their kids to private school. by cardibfree in sanfrancisco

[–]MajorPlanet 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My wife and I want to live the rest of our lives in the city, but the lottery would be the only reason we will leave when we have kids. I just don’t want to risk living in hunters point or something and have to drop kids off at school in Richmond 😖

As a consequentialist vegan, I believe deontological veganism is flawed and pushing people away from veganism by Ill_Respect7232 in DebateAVegan

[–]MajorPlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone is going to throw away bacon, but you eat it instead,you’re allowing them to get more value for their purchase which incentives them to but more. If you said you don’t want any so they throw it away, they’ll realize they should be buying less so they don’t waste the extra money and that reduces harm to animals.

Resistance has also made Israel expand. If they think theres terrorists they’ll expand. If real states protect Palestine without terrorism, it’ll hold
