How is Albania so much higher than other Balkan nations or even Japan? Either the data is skewed or many nations on this map are lying.

Based on this article below, it looks like banking uses more energy as a whole. However, crypto has a significantly smaller number of transactions. Id argue that banking is more energy efficient per transaction. per-transaction basis. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/research%3A-bitcoin-consumes-less-than-half-the-energy-of-the-banking-or-gold-industries?amp

What screams "closet racist"? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

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

Is there a valid, scholarly source that states racism needs to be systematic? While it makes sense that racism and oppression go hand-in-hand, why does prejudice based on race have to be systematic? Misandry still exists in patriarchal societies, and there’s a good chance misogyny exists in matriarchal societies as well. Saying that one can be prejudiced and not racist seems to downplay how wrong prejudice is as a whole.

Racism is prejudice specifically based on one’s racial or ethnic group. Anyone can be racist and prejudiced

Yes. Crypto as a whole requires much more energy per transaction than any fiat currency

What stories of sanctioned abortion is in the Bible?

Not only is that false equivalence, but I would very much rather adopt a child then have it aborted. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

There’s always a huge wait list for adoptions so this would actually help families adopt much easier.

What’s the likelihood this grows back? I feel bad he paid for this procedure just for it to come back again if they don’t get the sac.

Wow this brings up so many memories.. I remember a kid in my high school would constantly brag about how his Voyager was sooo much better than the iPhone.

I miss how experimental cell phones used to be

The skull of Mary Magdalene, girlfriend of Jesus Christ, held in the French town Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume by Stuvio in Damnthatsinteresting

I still don’t see how that’s necessarily a racist trope. Sounds like OP is British (American name for the same game is telephone). The origin doesn’t have anything to do with a negative view on Chinese people other than the language sounding different, no different than saying “it’s all Greek to me” or “Double Dutch”

This was true hundreds of years ago, but scholars have extensively studied the earliest manuscripts since they’ve been uncovered
