I believe the legal repercussions are part of that “can ruin your life”, not just the addiction and/or health concerns.
Though that still makes it an entirely artificial consequence that does not need to and should not exist.

Nigerians are actually one of the most successful migrant groups in America.
I get incredibly anxious about her finding incriminating things that I didn’t do and I know don’t actually exist, but what if they do somehow?
Probably exactly what has been reported. Putin waited for things to settle, weakened Wagner troops by taking their weapons and splitting their numbers, then they killed leadership. Occam’s razor certainly points to this.
But, of course, the way it was done certainly leaves the door open for conspiracies.
Group A was wronged by entity B. Group A goes to court to seek restitution from entity B. Courts rule that entity B did in fact cause damages to group A and must be held liable.
That’s all reparations are. Entity B is your government. It’s the same legal entity as it was 190 years ago, regardless of the composition of the population it represents. If a group was wronged by their government, this is their only means to legal restitution. Unfortunately since the primary form of income for some governments is taxation, it means people complain about paying for things when that’s not exactly what’s happening.
The alternative is to say that if a government “runs out the clock” and is able to avoid responsibility until the population turns over, then they can no longer be held liable for anything they did prior to that point. That’s not a very good position, in my opinion.
Well how are you defining meat? Terrestrial insect meat and crab or lobster meat is structurally pretty much the same. It’s all muscle fibers.
The big difference is that you can’t really extract the insect meat like you would with a crab, so you’re stuck eating the whole thing, meat and everything else, which is probably where a lot of the apprehension comes from. And to be fair I think that’s a pretty big difference. A lot of cultures try to avoid eating “everything else” up and down the food chain.
The issue of climate change is routinely one of the most important issues for young people, so perhaps she played a role in that.
The question itself is pretty useless because how could we possibly quantify a single activist’s contribution to a global issue?
This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

I don’t think it’s an entirely ridiculous format.
Joining lemmy.world. Internet is world wide web. Become WorldWideLem.
Helps to be familiar with the main cast but no, it doesn’t rely on previous episodes.
“Color” is really just a conversion of certain wavelengths into something our brains can differentiate. However this theoretical alien differentiates between wavelengths of light would probably be different than us, just like we’re different than some other organisms on earth. If their method of differentiation is entirely different than “colors” we may not be able to conceptualize it, and they may not be able to conceptualize colors.
But just as an example, maybe they “feel” or “taste” different wavelengths of light instead of seeing them. We might be able to say, “hey, that light that you taste as sweet, we see as red”.
In their language they might have a way to describe that wavelength of light, just as we have a way to describe it, but our ability to really understand that description may not overlap.
Beetles. 25% of species we’ve discovered are beetles.
British evolutionary biologist and geneticist J.B.S. Haldane quipped that if a god or divine being had created all living organisms on Earth, then that creator must have an “inordinate fondness for beetles.”
God has beetles backs, so we get beetles on our side, we get God on our side.
Twitter is on a mission to become the world’s most accurate real-time information source and a global town square
I think these are both admirable goals, however I don’t believe they can exist in the same space. A town square is open to false informations as much as it is truth.
They’re setting themselves up for failure if that’s their north star.
Fine, I’ll make my own [thing] with blackjack, and hookers.
Don’t you worry about [thing], let me worry about blank.
Woop woop woop woop woop woop!
I’ve definitely gone on autopilot while reading. Used to happen all of the time with college textbooks. My eyes are clearly scanning the words, but my attention is on some other thought. End up having to circle back and re-read that section.
Would it matter? If they died living well according to Jesus’s teachings they’d be rewarded in heaven. Their mortal death would be inconsequential.
That said, they could probably survive as many homeless do through donations and begging.
