The issue isn't just isolated to those living around it. Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-bad-of-a-gree... ), letting …

Its referring to ingesting more than the desired amount, not "ODing" in the lethal sense.

I thought that would have happened too when other subreddits were quarantined or banned (and it briefly did when fatpeoplehate was banned) but honestly the banned discourse does no…

Unfortunately the problem seems to be a Prisoner's dilemma for countries - curbing CO2 emissions without all other countries doing so puts said country at an economic disadvantage.…

"Miami-based Carnival pleaded guilty Monday to six probation violations, including the dumping of plastic mixed with food waste in Bahamian waters. The company also admitted sendin…

The most frustrating part of this for me is there is no (relatively) easy way to override this behavior. Its fine to disable the addons, but please allow me to "understand the risk…

I agree with you in the sense that especially in America a lot of the bike lanes are really just faded single lines littered with gravel, and practically speaking following the Veh…

Its especially frustrating how cities will try almost anything to alleviate traffic instead of encouraging cycling. Its less taxing on the roads, it doesn't pollute, it doesn't req…

I haven't needed it in the city I'm at now, but I used to wear a USA flag as a cape when riding in less biking friendly areas. It was night and day how drivers treated me.

I just want people to be less 'secretive' about receiving parental support; in my peer group it seems almost shameful to have help, yet I can guarantee all of us have received some…

Its even worse when you look at how its been declining the past 50 years ( https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-y... ) way before the "young folks" even enter…

I honestly found it very refreshing how explicit and upfront they were about their data collection. There are plenty of "free" products that try hard to hide the fact that they are…

True; my primary exposure to the US prison system has been in Texas which certainly sees its share there. I suppose it would be more apt to say that the fact that the justice syste…

> If you keep a secret list of people you know have been convicted of a felony, you're tacitly admitting you either dont believe in prisons as an effective tool for correction This…

It is extremely concerning to me how these tech executives are so enamored with Chinas working conditions and all-pervasive data collection as if it was the pinnacle of living in t…

With all of this discussion in Washington about Russian hacking and Russian voter influencing, why are these demonstrably vulnerable voting machines hardly mentioned? It would seem…

I would imagine a major responsibility of the FCC is ensuring communications in an emergency and they are clearly failing. I immediately think of this article as well https://www.n…

I'm sure it does. Even if I already was a BoA customer in this theoretical scenario, I would also prefer to be in the know to avoid that specific POS/gas station company until the …

Okay, but what about potential customers of BoA that have no idea that the bank they want to entrust their money to has a huge known exploit that increases their chances of identit…

I get that the article is supposed to be a counter-point to the rapid legalization, but you are absolutely right. Being almost impossible to overdose on means they can't use scary …

I cannot help but think the Federal government is fully at fault for this one. So much time and effort spent to misinform, lie, and skew the truth on the consequences of cannabis (…

Wow that is a fantastic idea that I would love to come to the States. Walking around in the city I always felt like this [0]. I have been really pushing for a car-free downtown on …

Ultimately I think it was inevitable that Google was to become so heavily involved in military ( https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ ), but what bugs me is how inter…

The success of Sensetime and Alibaba's (affiliate of Sesame Credit) large investments truly lead me to believe this is a big step towards enforcing the physical aspect of the Socia…
