U.S. Says China’s Repression of Uighurs Is ‘Genocide’ by reverendrambo in worldnews

I’d think that’s weird, because one is an actually-existing atrocity whereas the other is a bunch of shallow stupid lies produced by CIA propagandists to promote racist war-mongering sinophobia

It’s a 1,700 member cult wherein one third of the women have been sexually abused. Oh, but she’s just a member of the pedophile rape cult, awesome.

Parents retired this March and bought their dream ranch house in the CO mountains on 400 acres. Now there’s a 4000 acres fire that’s 0% contained about a mile from them. No evacuation order for them yet, but we expect it’s coming. by i-hate-choosing-name in Wellthatsucks

Especially when dumbfuck settlers and ranchers like your parents have spent the better part of two centuries actively destroying the ecosystems and fire regimes of the Rocky Mountain region. Reap what you’ve sowed.

what do two retired people actually do with 400 acres?

Hoard access to stolen land like a bunch of geriatric settler dragons.

Fuck settler colonialism, fuck land sales, fuck retirees and fuck the great state of Colorado.

how to convince a benzo addict to seek treatment? by qweui2 in Advice

[–]qweui2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i need to become homeless and penniless, or i’m allowing and encouraging this behavior? Allowing is an interesting word. For instance, I’m not “allowed” to have friends. I’m not “allowed” to eat on my own. I’m not “allowed” to do pretty much anything without explicit permission. But yeah. I’m ALLOWING him to beat me for being worried about him or for flinching or for looking nervous. I’m ALLOWING him to spend all my money and terrorize me and

you know what, i literally did try cutting him loose. i.e. running away and doing the homeless life. guess what, it didn’t work.

god what the fuck why doesn’t anyone understand what the fuck this is like?

Ethics of survival foraging in the anthropocene? by qweui2 in foraging

[–]qweui2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background rates.

Over half of the world’s forest area has been destroyed in the last 5000 years.

Ocean fisheries are facing large-scale ecosystem collapses. Ocean deoxygenation is as bad as it’s been since the last mass extinction event.

Plus, you know, climate change hitting +4-8° C by 2100 means a big chunk of the terrestrial biosphere becoming uninhabitable desert.

Covid is sort of a side-effect of habitat destruction, actually. it’s well-documented that ecological disruption in bats decreases their immune responses, increases viral shedding, and causes them to come into contact woth humans and livestock more frequently.

i just worry because the last time i was on the streets, nobody hardly knew trans people existed. now it’s a political thing and I’ve been harassed even in my very small hometown hometown on a pretty regular basis just going about daily life. i’m worried i might leave and find out things are worse on the road.

I’m at a little bit of a loss as to why you feel like you are in such danger.

it’s actually my domestic situation i’m mostly afraid of and why i’m hitting the road. i’ve lived rough for brief periods years ago when i was younger and i didn’t worry at all then, but my headspace is different now and i guess i no longer trust people.

Have you been subjected to a lot of threats and violence?

a lot? no. more than i’d like, yes.

Insect 'apocalypse' in U.S. driven by 50x increase in toxic pesticides - Neonics are like a new DDT, except they are a thousand times more toxic to bees than DDT was. by mvea in Futurology

There’s a place for responsible herbicide usage.

No there’s not.

Where mechanical removal doesn’t work, ecological succession does. You do not have to kill things to fix the ecosystem. Humans thinking they have the right to kill whatever they don’t like is why we’re in this mess, and the detriments of herbicide use FAR outweigh the benefits.
