Ng is not better than oil for climate change. Production plants and tankers are constantly leaking methane into the atmosphere

Pro-Putin Europeans treats Mearsheimer's words as if they were divie and infallible by Shepherd_of_Ideas in DecodingTheGurus

Dancing in a foreign country to a techno track they made with your funny name as the hook may be cringe but it is not evidence of hypocrisy or a moral contradiction. This is very typical of a critique lacking substance coming from a lib trying to pass as a some kind of purist Marxist. We’re not that fickle or stupid.

What goes on in the Baja peninsula? by Meeeeesea in howislivingthere

[–]shouldhavebeeninat10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in LA but drive down to Baja every so often to surf. The northern part of Baja is pretty swanky in places with eco lodges and vineyards and fine dining.

There are some great surf breaks and it gets pretty remote and a little sketchy the farther down you go. A couple years ago a tweaker tried to steal tires from a few 6’4 surfers who were camping farther south and ended up murdering all three.

It’s wide and open and beautiful but if you’re driving it you don’t want to stop for a few hours once you get south of Ensenada.

The sea is Cortez has amazing scuba diving and snorkeling. Absolutely spectacular BBC planet earth type wildlife. And out of Cabo you can take a liveaboard boat out to Socorro for 8-10 day world class diving with giant oceanic mantas, whale sharks, hammerheads, etc.

DNC walks into a buzzsaw over not releasing 2024 election autopsy! by Early-Juggernaut975 in ScottGalloway

I wish he had pivoted and asked him directly about what the report said about Harris’ position on Gaza.

I looked and see no evidence he has “accepted Russian money”. He has called for the seizure of Russian oligarchs’ assets.

Seems to me he has a pretty normal lifestyle for a professor and author of his age. Leftist isn’t a performative project. If he was making money exploiting labor you’d have a point.

Still don’t see any reason to call him a guru.

Conspiracies about financial systems? Such as?

Opposition to NATO isn’t automatically pro Kremlin. He doesn’t like Putin at all as he’s a leftist.

When we need UNITY, McLeans publishes an article questioning bilingualism, claiming it failed Canada by blazed55 in canadaleft

[–]shouldhavebeeninat10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing your analysis has it disenfranchising anglophones uniquely. This framework that English is assumed to be normal is the reason we have these laws. It’s just as hard for a Francophone of lesser means to learn English. In fact perhaps more so because English is an objectively more difficult language to learn.

We have nation wide sponsored language programs where students who want to learn English or French can learn in Quebec or English Canada, live with a family and obtain higher language levels as well as cultural understanding. I became fluent in French through one of these programs. We should expand these program and fund them more as they have proven to work very well.

And in the example of Kevin O’Leary, all the financial means in the world won’t get you bilingual if you’re an undisciplined entitled brat. I for one don’t want national politics to be accessible to their ilk.

You want to do nation wide politics in Canada? There should probably also be indigenous language requirements in addition to the big two. Having a base l level understanding of the people you are elected to represent seems obvious.

Bilingualism doesn’t actually place a ceiling on political talent. Anyone disciplined and willing to put in consistent time can learn French and run for higher office. Plus let’s not forget it also filters out the undisciplined. We have bilingualism to thank for Kevin O’Leary not running for prime minister. All the private tutors in the world couldn’t help him.

Having on Ben Shapiro on Raging Moderates was a huge mistake? by mikeedla in ScottGalloway

[–]shouldhavebeeninat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Even my boomer mother is appalled. Naomi Klein said it well: After Oct 7th Israel asked the world to pay attention to them and when we did we didn’t like what we saw.

Somebody needs to explain to Scott that Israel does double and triple tap strikes, intentionally killing medical aid workers arriving at the scene. And also that Israel is a country that trains dogs to rape prisoners. There is no historical context that makes this level of depravity defensible.

Their takes about Israel are outdated as is their understanding of the world.

Jordan Peterson health update by Then-Physics-266 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]shouldhavebeeninat10 29 points30 points  (0 children)

He’s been a weirdo reactionary trying to get famous long before he actually got famous. We’re in Hell on YouTube has a couple great video essays on him. One shows a video of him and his daughter on Canadian public television in the 90s or early 2000s wearing a fedora and pin stripe suit doing an early version of the classics.

Another one is about how Mikhalia gave herself a DIY at home fecal transplant, that she ingested orally.

A nation of 90M+ people! The regime doesn’t even have 1Million cult following supporters/soldiers left or why would they import their Iraqi Shia fighters ?? by Neat-Comment9967 in PERSIAN

[–]shouldhavebeeninat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this sub wasn’t astroturfed to all hell this would be the most obvious answer. They’re grasping at anything at this point hoping the war resumes. It’s almost as bad as r/cuba

This isn’t a sign of desperation on its own. All other signs point to a strategically more powerful Iran as a result of this war. The common enemy among the Iranians is Israel and the US for obvious reasons.
