They do believe in global heating. They just don't care. They reckon they, their kids, and their friends will be fine anyway. Who care what happens to billions dirty, poor foreigners? It high time that we realise that it never was a go

I think it very much depends on the circumstances. If people are sitting down and are in an environment where they feel safe, you can walk over with a friendly smile, chat a little, show them the camera and btw, I took some pictures of you

Are you suggesting that there is common and widespread fraud with how food is labelled, to the extent that labels no longer can be trusted?

You can quite confidently conclude that if it contains artificial sweeteners, it is quite sweet, and way too sweet for my taste.

What about them? What is it you would like to know and how would the information help?

It’s not that hard to read the nutrition facts label on your food packaging. https://www.fda.gov/food/new-nutrition-facts-label/how-under...

I don’t assume, I draw conclusions from the way you argue. We are way past the point where I care if I’m rude or not. The house is on fire, and you stand by the side arguing whether it would be better to get the water from the stream or fro

You are putting in much more effort in finding excuses to not having to do your part than trying to learn what you need to do. Most things aren’t particularly complicated. The possibility of sometimes making mistakes is no excuse for inacti

What’s your point? Of course it’s impossible to reduce our footprints to absolute zero, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t reduce them. And that there are certain situations where it’s it hard to make correct judgements doesn’t mean th

At this point we have to do everything, including preserve all forests and planting a lot of trees. The problem with the promise of sequestration through forests is that many people think that they can use trees to offset continued release

It’s great for you that you think you know more about my inner states than I do myself. Just because you feel you missed out doesn’t mean that everyone else do. It just doesn’t bother me that some people are becoming rich while I’m just plo

Why would I be mad? If my neighbour happens to win the lottery, I'm not going around being annoyed that I didn't play. Playing on bitcoin was stupid then and is even more stupid now. That it made some people very rich hasn't

The reason why the argument that it is only using 0.1% of the worlds energy consumption so it doesn't matter is a stupid argument is because it can be used about absolutely everything. This particular coal plant only emits a 0.01% of a

Not really. I still just think it is a stupid pyramid scheme.

Hotels have solved that problem by simply prohibiting smoking in most rooms, and if you get caught doing it anyway, they’ll charge you a high fee to sanitise the room.

I think it is a way to emphasise that they as a family is expecting to have a baby. Also, even though obviously only the woman carries the child, a pregnancy is something that affects both partners on many levels.

I hope you aren’t serious. I’m happy to pay taxes to pay for universal healthcare, libraries and sustainable infrastructure. I’m not willing to pay higher prices in a private store to sponsor the other people’s egoistic, highly inefficient

That argument doesn't make sense. The car drivers choose themselves to drive to this particular store where you have to pay a premium for the store's location. If they feel punished by having to pay more for a centrally located st

The cost of the rent is unavoidable. You can't buy anything in the store without walking in the store and buy goods that has been stored in the store The cost of parking is avoidable. You don't have to drive and park to buy goods

Then you get a separate battery. But the vast majority only drives their car back and forth to work, so most of the day the cars are just standing there and could be charged.

Oh well, technically correct then. :)

When did the Guardian become a tabloid? Or is a tabloid any newspaper that publish news you don't like?

Not at all. We might be interested in slightly different metrics in Europe, but the difference is minimal. Maybe you and your click of friends have distinctly anti-materialistic values, but then some people can't help to casually menti

That study still ignores lost productivity from smokers. If you are on sick leave, you don’t pay taxes, and if you are dead you pay neither taxes or for insurance.

by Ma8ee 5y ago
But you have to take into account lost productivity, not only from people who died, but also people with varying degrees of illness such as Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. So I’d like to see a source for the statement that smokers ar

Yes, meat, but not so much grains as potatoes.

I suspect that is a myth. Treating lung cancer isn't cheap.

by Ma8ee 5y ago
Maybe on average it's only a few years. But some smokers live to old age, and some die of lung cancer in their early forties while their kids are still young.

I do think it is an improvement that they nowadays put cars in tunnels and people above ground. But it would of course be much better if they had spent all that money they used for car tunnels on public transport and more bicycle lanes and
