Perhaps on social issues, but economically it is true for the most part

Ah, ok, thar is some much needed context

Not gonna lie, banning 5x2mm magnets is insane. They’re very useful, I’ve seen countless DIY projects or 3D print models that use them and in general they’re just handy. It seems insane to me to ban them for such a reason. There are infinite ways in which children can hurt themselves, should we ban stoves because they can get hot? That ban sounds a bit too much to me.

I don’t think that’s how that math works but sure

I’ll copy some of the answers from the WHO Q&A linked in the post:

Processed meat was classified in the same category as tobacco and asbestos, does that mean they’re equally carcinogenic?

No, processed meat has been classified in the same category as causes of cancer such as tobacco smoking and asbestos (IARC Group 1, carcinogenic to humans), but this does NOT mean that they are all equally dangerous. The IARC classifications describe the strength of the scientific evidence about an agent being a cause of cancer, rather than assessing the level of risk.

How many cancer cases per year?

According to the most recent estimates by the Global Burden of Disease Project, an independent academic research organization, about 34 000 cancer deaths per year worldwide are attributable to diets high in processed meat.

Eating red meat has not yet been established as a cause of cancer. However, if the reported associations were proven to be causal, the Global Burden of Disease Project has estimated that diets high in red meat could be responsible for 50 000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.

These numbers contrast with about 1 million cancer deaths per year globally due to tobacco smoking, 600 000 per year due to alcohol consumption, and more than 200 000 per year due to air pollution.

How much is the risk of cancer increased?

The consumption of processed meat was associated with small increases in the risk of cancer in the studies reviewed. In those studies, the risk generally increased with the amount of meat consumed. An analysis of data from 10 studies estimated that every 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by about 18%.

The cancer risk related to the consumption of red meat is more difficult to estimate because the evidence that red meat causes cancer is not as strong. However, if the association of red meat and colorectal cancer were proven to be causal, data from the same studies suggest that the risk of colorectal cancer could increase by 17% for every 100 gram portion of red meat eaten daily.

Honestly, I don’t see how either solution can work. In a two-state solution, Palestine doesn’t look like it would be functional with those kinds of borders, and in a one-state solution, I don’t see how there won’t be extreme ethnic conflict after everything that’s happened.

Honestly, from what I’ve seen, I actually agree with Macron here. France’s debt is unsustainable, something needs to be done, and nobody wants to do anything. Both Le Penne and Melenchon are calling for policies that will increase the debt burden, yet any attempt to reduce it is getting struck down at the mere thought. A retirement age of 62 in a country with an average life expectency of 82 (and many people living over that) is crazy to me, especially at a time when there are more and more old people compared to working-age people. That isn’t sustainable, but any mention of raising it gets insane backlash. You can’t really raise taxes much more, they’re already high, you can for wealthy people, but that will only go part of the way, and with the new NATO targets, if nothing is done, I feel like France will become another Greece.

I mean, that much is obvious. If you could do without two pilots it would be very inefficient to have two per flight, but you can’t, so it’s a very stupid idea.

I read that as canned and was confused as to why they were turned into produce.

I personally think that it should be rebuilt. I’m not an expert and perhaps I’m wrong, but I feel like it’s simply too good of an energy source and Ukraine will need cheap energy to rebuild.

As a young person that vividly remembers what I and people around me were like at that age, I really don’t think that we should have been allowed to vote. Optimal age for maturity would probably be around 20.

I mean, it’s technically illegal here, just that the government turns a blind eye when it’s popular

While I know it won’t happen, it would be so fucking funny if they arrested all of the like 500k attendees for the salute

Fucking clowns, I hate Thompson so much

It has been equally present here since independence basically. The concert just drew them out of the woodworks more than usual

I’m extremely doubtful of this. Just the chance that a software kill switch exists is way too big of a threat for the US itself. Imagine if Russia or China managed to hack into their systems and get a hold of it, instantly bricking almost the entire US airforce. That would be catastrophic.

Unrelated but I remember last year noticing that what used to be a Tesla dealership was turned into a BYD dealership in my country and couldn’t help but feeling how it was so representative of the situation

My exact thoughts

Tbf we could use it
