High temperatures are only a death sentence if you don’t do anything.

Yes that sounds very similar! Are sheep a relatively recent import into Wales and Scotland?

In the past you have claimed that your child is trans but now it is your friends child.

The transphobia is just hidden behind votes and “devils advocate” debate bro style shit. Wake up.

I’m in the US. This is New Zealand. I’m less concerned about the health care situation. I assume it’s superior to ours.

I have questions about the pool party though.
It seems like it must’ve been far more than just a pool party, since self surgery felt like a better option than not going

They had those restrictions but they also actively encouraged people to go to SF pride in uniforms, so this was a decision they were making for years that was suddenly reversed. It was surprising this mandate was issued because of the years-long tradition of NPS participation, in uniform, sanctioned by NPS, at pride.

Not the patron saint of gamers 😭😭 I want off Mr Bones Wild Ride

No fuck this. Black people and poor have a disproportionate number of felonies, this will just increase inequality.

Biden is still sending money to Israel to commit genocide, denying that genocide is happening, and denouncing the ICC for planning to take action against Israel and Hamas.

Yeah, my point is that they have some strict rules and have chosen for years to encourage people in uniform to show up at Pride. So this was a clear choice that was made for years that has suddenly changed.

And the other context you may be missing was this was encouraged for years. NPS organized to walk in SF pride, in their uniforms, for as long as I can remember. And NPS does have rules about what you can and can’t do in uniform … I wasn’t allowed to buy alcohol after work in uniform. Thanks for reconsidering your view.

There is a local Greenpeace chapter, and the Filipino leader of the local Greenpeace chapter is quoted. It’s a global institution.

We have seen stuff like this before. Nestle gives out baby formula for free … until it’s not. Patent holders sue farmers for replanting seeds. And the concerns about GMO genetic drift are real. Read the article and stop making assumptions about where these concerns are coming from.

The power nodes of the large corporations that hold the patents to GMOs?

My expertise is in invasive species, this is a red flag. Even if it is only intended to grow in water that became brackish due to climate change, the introduction is alarming.

I really don’t care if you think I am an asshole. Obviously.

From the article

"There are specific problems with Golden Rice,” said Wilhelmina Pelegrina, head of Greenpeace Philippines, last week. “Farmers who brought this case with us – along with local scientists – currently grow different varieties of rice, including high-value seeds they have worked with for generations and have control over. They’re rightly concerned that if their organic or heirloom varieties get mixed up with patented, genetically engineered rice, that could sabotage their certifications, reducing their market appeal and ultimately threatening their livelihoods.”

This isn’t misinformation, this is a real issue. I’m an ecologist … we worry about genetic drift from native plants sourced elsewhere in the state!! Of course there is a concern about genetic drift from GMOs.

Pelegrina added that relying on a single-crop system to alleviate malnutrition reduced resilience and increased vulnerability to climate impacts – a serious problem in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries. “If things don’t work out, it’s the farmer and the consumers who pick up the tab.”

There are also more practical, tried-and-tested solutions to tackle vitamin-A deficiency such as food supplementation programmes and supporting people to grow a range of crops including those rich in vitamin A, she claimed. “That should be where attention and investment is focused.”

Maybe read the article before assuming the poor idiotic Filipino people are being misinformed 🙄

Violent video games have been linked with aggression.

Definitely, the gun makers should be held responsible. Their incessant lobbying is part of the problem.

wow cool they made new invasive species for an already threatened ecosystem type awesome

anti-GMO is anti- big corporations. and as a botanist, I can tell you the fears about genetic drift are real. and legally, people have gotten sued for having the wrong plants pop up on their land. It’s less a science issue than it is a legal issue, but, it’s also a science issue …

If the local people don’t want it, it’s not the right solution.
