Yes, there are people who 100% think Israel not only should forgive and forget about Oct 7. Then there are the people who think Israelis deserve that and worse.

Afghanistan is a giant country. Gaza is the size of Las Vegas. Do you think maybe that will have an impact?

A lot fewer, based on the attacks so far. While I’m sure lots of people would prefer Gaza to be pushed into the ocean, the end result will likely still be Palestinian but with a different government and decades of rebuilding. It sounds like Israel is mirroring the Iraq or Japan invasion method which means a tear down and rebuild of government that will need to keep promises about launching rockets and other attacks.

Should have been a lot of things. Bibi can go get fucked but in the here and now Israel is going to make sure this conflict ends by force. No more Hamas for nutcases like Bibi to fund.

Duh. Israel is going to want to monitor the region for a long time to make sure Hamas isn’t coming back. That’s going to mean boots on the ground.

Other nations that want to stop this from being permanent will need to step up and volunteer their own soldiers to monitor the region because Israel won’t give up the land without some strong promises that things won’t slip

Poverty has never been a major cause of low births. The poorest countries in the world have the highest birth rates. Instead it’s about increasing women’s health and education, giving them the choice to have fewer children or none. Turns out when they have the choice women don’t want to get pregnant and raise kids at 20. They want to have careers and lives and travel and stuff.

Nations need to make child rearing more appealing for couples to want to be parents. Because a huge chunk of people could have salary raises and homes and be upper class and still now want to have kids.

You’re being downvoted, but a shit tonne of people are justifying the atrocities because it’s againstna people they hate.

It’s a criosphynx wearing a wig to cover his horns and look like an androsphynx.

A bad riddle being something stupid or overly simplistic but with a different answer or overwrought.

The creature doesn’t know it wants to be praised for the riddles it makes. It believes it is very clever and isn’t. Even if they guess the right answer it would only get angry and deny they got it.

But I also don’t want the players to waste too much time thinking of riddle answers that will never go anywhere. It’s supposed to be funny

Yeah the proposal is for all religious texts

Local anger then forgotten. No one would ever hear about it outside the few people who lived nearby

Cool. And what happens to the company? We can for sure just shut down all oil companies today, and what happens then?

People buy oil. They give these companies money because we want what they have. We need to change our behaviours or the polluting does not stop. It just means our money goes to a new oil company.

Who will you buy your oil from then?

We need to change the way we make energy. Killing oil companies is a secondary consequence of switching to renewables

How sad life must be for you to be so powerless to affect even your own actions. I’m sorry

You do realize that leaded gas came about because of market pressure right? That people had a choice at the pumps to choose from leaded or unleaded?

That is my entire point. Companies only do things that get them money.

Consumers drive markets, companies follow markets. Change how you buy, companies change how they pollute.

Do you know how many cars were purchased in the last year alone? 13.75 million.

You may not be able to afford a car change but millions of other people are. Guess what oil companies see there? Dollar signs. Because the ICE cars make them money. If those 13 million people bought EVs don’t you think maybe just maybe the oil companies would change tacts? Or do you think they’re cool with their profits going down?

You’ve spent so much energy absolving yourself of responsibility here. Maybe of we put that energy towards somethingore productive like choosing a meatless meal or looking at government rebates for electric cars or volunteering for an environmental NGO we might see more progress

> remaining 26% are used for plastic and other products.

I don’t think you read your source. The little figure of the oil drum shows 6/45 gallons goes to other products, including some to pladtics. That’s 13% not 26. And it’s wrong to say all of that is plastic is hilariously wrong.

You could have saved yourself all that time and math and gone to a single source about how much GHGs come from domestic drivingbin the US. Here it is

> The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to anthropogenic U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

>transportation accounted for the largest portion (29%) of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2021.

> On-Road Vehicles account for 1,496.4 Tg CO2 equivalent

But maybe you’re thinking that the money Americans spend on gas in a year is piddly. After all it’s only $562 Billion a year. Pocket change for BP, right?

So do you think that eliminating that many tonnes of CO2 and that many barrels of oil from companies bottom line would have an impact? Maybe just a little itsy Bitsy tiny bit?

Or are you just going to keep pretending that consumer choices don’t drive markets and climate change.
