I feel like if you're arguing for women's safety in sport you might need to argue that nobody should be playing rugby. It's a game where you try to basically fight over a ball and ideally don't kill each other in the process, but it's about as likely to not incur injures as professional wrestling.

Every single country with the means should be sending hosts of fire-fighting resources, researching and building new technologies, and so on. Buuuuuuuut it's not profitable to stop the world getting hosed so I guess we'll all just die lol

OwlFancier posted:I feel like if you're arguing for women's safety in sport you might need to argue that nobody should be playing rugby.  But I went to a school with a rugby clique, and there was a whole thing around injury, like "yeah I dislocated both shoulders and broke ten ribs and then my 'ead came off", it's probably toxic and macho and unhealthy and all that, but it is what it is and I really doubt those women are sat at home feeling sorry for themselves or whatever Hadley Freeman thinks ladies in sport should be doing, those injured female players probably are transcending their pain by celebrating the joy of full contact sport, because they're rugby players. And to direct the whole thing at trans athletes rather than specifics of play reminds me more of the "we shouldn't let Samoans play because they're big lads and they have an extra gene that makes them stiff-arm tackle" poo poo than any legitimate concern.

Don't let people be good at sport because of who they are, it's not fair. Obviously the only legitimate path to success should be superior equipment and/or training, thus ensuring the eternal dominance of capitalism.

There doesn't appear to be any headline news (yet?) about Johnson today, breaking his 7 day streak and my theory about him running a media campaign. Given I've posted daily updates of it I feel it's only fair to admit when it doesn't work out. e; Well Patty is going to chat with the French about brutalising refugees some more, but that's pretty everyday stuff.

It just that's what it looks like zoomed out and there being a minimum pixel size. Plus it looks like they have a longer time range showing, so this is showing fires that have since been extinguished.

But nah, let's just see how it plays out "Sure we could save the world and grow the economy therefore growing our profits but that doesn't bring results for next quarter" Capitalism is short-sighted by nature - between 100 years of steady sustainable profits and 3 quarters of quick bucks but everything gets hosed after that, they'll always go for the quick buck and drat the consequences and well, here we are

Jose posted:All signs point to no Eh maybe possibly? Restricting it only to Agrifoods might be acceptable to the DUP as they general accept a degree of alignment on phytosanitary standards to facilitate the "free movement of cattle" (their words) as continued access to southern processing plants is essential for NI farmers (many of whom the DUP find to be their natural base) - People like Donaldson have quietly proposed an agricultural only arrangement which is basically an enhanced version of what exists currently. The DUPs main bugbears are EU directives concerning things like port operation and manufacturing which they think hobble their blatant attempts to funnel state cash to friendly businesses to "stimulate the economy". However they have talked themselves into a hole over the last year and it's not clear if they can walk back comfortably on these things now - People like Sammy Wilson where always die hard true believers in Brexit but other members of the party are considerably more profit motivated. The one thing they don't like to do is retreat though of course

Only Kindness posted:Thanks for the replies and encouragements guys, I was in a really bleak emotional place with the mental agony, physical symptoms with no relief, lack of sleep, hopelessness, fear, despair and seeing no way out but breathing foul air and then dying of pneumonia or something. I sobbed for probably the first time in 35 years. Despite my depression, my suicidal ideation isn't frequent but it is strong when it hits. Hey I just want to say thanks for posting this. My bedroom windows tend to accumulate a bit of mould around them now and then and I'm lazy about cleaning it, but I gave them a proper clean today then went and did the outside of all my windows that were looking a bit grimy too. Now they're streaky because I suck at cleaning but it's an improvement and I feel good!

His Divine Shadow posted:This can't possibly be real, that all the red area = on fire? It's a composite, not a time series. It's showing all recent fires. The thing is, the Amazon doesn't burn of its own accord. Ancient pollen and charcoal records (basically layered lake sediments that people have painstakingly extracted and analysed) show that during the ice age, the Amazon didn't burn at all on a large scale. This is before humans had arrived in South America, so we have a baseline signal of fire activity. It didn't burn despite overall drier conditions and a greater proportion of grasslands versus forest (on account of a lot of moisture being locked away in ice caps). There is a marked difference after the ice age. As soon as we show up, we begin managing the land through constant small-scale burning. The archaeological and environmental records across the Amazon basin are unanimous on this, with some weird exceptions like the western Amazon, which it seems like was always sparsely occupied (and is very wet, so didn't burn anyway).

Vlex posted:No, it's not. Then you should be the first to point out that the Paraguayan savannah woodlands at the south of that map, aren't part of the Amazon basin, and that "Biomass burning is concentrated during the months of July-October in the Southern Hemisphere portion of South America, and is linked to agricultural activities, including the use of fire to permanently deforest areas and convert them to agricultural land." The Atlantic Forest is almost completely removed due to this, and seperated almost* entirely from the Amazon. *I beleive there was a green corridor project, but can't remember much of it. E: Not belittling the disaster thats occurring, but this has been going on for years. It's the same effect as photos of the orangutan fighting the tree processors in Sumatra.

Trying hard to figure out what your point is. Parts of the continent were deforested relatively recently (in geological terms) and also burn, also they well actually aren't technically within the Amazon basin.

Using a shock and awe image of a continent burning is great, but implying that everything that is a red dot is a pristine rainforest is an outright lie, and risks laying a false image in peoples minds that we haven't actually already destroyed masses of primary habitat. Hope that helps op.

The DUPs main bugbears is working with Ireland. I can see them taking the compromise to maintain power in Westminister, but I can also see the other half of them howling that that those do accept it as traitors. Maybe cheaper to just bung them a few free holidays. They will be singing the Soldier's Song in Temple Bar then.

The people driving the large scale burning are burning primary forest and savannah-forest mosaics and previously-deforested land? It's not an either-or edit: this big splodge here is Urubici National Park, a nominally protected area. Holds one of the last refuges of highland Atlantic Forest.
