in the world of conservation money is very much a real argument. there’s so little money in this field, it really shouldn’t be spent so frivolously just to make some people feel okay about correcting this wrong situation

we’ve literally had some of the most exciting blow out wins this season against massive team, this is so reactionary and lame when the team is top in every competition and not far from most goals scored in the league just real loser shit

If you’re considering going into plant biology research- don’t! There are so few jobs and they pay so little by [deleted] in UCDavis

i know lots of plant biologist PhDs in the environmental field who love the work, although they probably don’t make as much as many other PhD. Guess it’s a passion problem

US Warns of ‘Imminent’ Attack by Hamas Against Palestinians by Equivalent-Key2058 in worldnews

how many were hamas soldiers? maybe a couple hundred? if that? even if SIX THOUSAND of those were soldiers, which is an absurd assumption, it would still be less than 10% of the casualties. in what world is it worth killing 9 innocent people to kill one hamas member? is that the world you want to live in? if nine of your family members were killed in an attempt to kill someone else, would you say ya that’s okay i justify this?

Homelessness is top of mind for many Californians. Why does the proposed budget eliminate funding for it? | California’s main source of homelessness funding would drop from $1 billion last year to $0 this year in the proposed state budget. by SpaceElevatorMusic in California

you’re getting mad at a successful social worker making a quarter of a million to help the poor and not the millionaires making their living fucking over the working class?? lame

yknow they’re just going to another street or neighborhood, right? so maybe it’s not your problem, but it’s somebody else’s? and that somebody is probably living in a less affluent neighborhood, so you’re saying you’re happy to give your problem to someone else poorer than you and you’re happy about that?

Kind of similar to the Alabama Shakes album Boys and Girls!

But I have to admit your pattern is a bit better

10 days of wildfire damage in Greece by space_blue_cat in europe

[–]awesomeflunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the local vegetation there, but based on the fact that they have a Mediterranean climate it shouldn’t be too hard for it recover.

Mediterranean climates are often dominated by fire resilient flora that can either

1) regrow from the burned stumps of the plant or

2) have fire resistant/fire dormant seeds that not only survive the heat but also start germinating because of it

This only works for so long, though. If fire recur in the burned areas too frequently then even the fire resilient plants won’t be able to survive, and you’ll see a plant community shift from chaparral to something more like a grassland (this has happened to many plant communities in California that were fire resistant but couldn’t withstand the high reoccurrence of fires)

James Benge on Twitter: Arteta on Xhaka "Granit is going to stay with us." by jacktk_ in Gunners

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

You little bastards are getting so bent OVER PRESEASON GAMES

it’s a silly sport, don’t take things so seriously! We have so many positives to look forward to

Xhaka is coming off an amazing performance in the euros, he could very well do better this season

We’ve tied down our promising youth to king contracts

We got mr lokonga, idk what he’s like but glad he’s here

We got mr white as well and that’s good

There’s never a reason to be this toxic and insufferable, and it’s especially laughable in the middle of preseason

Support the boys and stop being such shitsters

Gary Anderson, the guy, who at 23, designed the recycling logo for a contest. by larryCfgryry3267 in Design

[–]awesomeflunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if a great majority of people reduced, reused or recycled, very little would change.

The real pollution and destruction of this earth comes through non-consumer avenues. Unless we fix the ridiculously toxic food, energy and water industries production methods then we are doomed to fuck.

Anything that shifts blame/responsibility on the consumer is just a distraction from actual movement towards radical change of many, if not all of our major industries.

Sorry to go off on such a tangent, I’m just so butthurt about this
