It would be a pity if someone created a little laser that aims an infrared beam at these cameras as you drive. The beam would be invisible to the human eye and quite hard for anyone to notice what's going on

Good point but I don't understand how you're calculating those numbers. For example there were 1,639 people executed in 2025 for a population of 93.1 million

BDS has been around since 2005 and organizing on a global scale. Russia is under heavy sanctions so I doubt there's much more regular consumers can do to boycott if they live in countries compliant with those sanctions. But there'

So at some point I went on a loose leaf herbal tea buying spree and bought (and almost immediately forgot about) something called "catuaba". I tried making it into a tea and it was... an acquired taste. In my efforts to make the p

Sure, absolutely. And I'm sure it did plummet. But Bush or the UK conservatives weren't overthrown in a nation-wide revolution. To get something like that you need massive widespread disapproval that's been going on for at le

US prisoners per capita: 715 Iran prisoners per capita: 226 Particularly interesting to me is how prisoners in Iran have the right to vote while prisoners in the US can have their vote taken away.

You should look at how the US overthrew Guatemala's first elected leader. A self-proclaimed capitalist was labelled a "communist" by even the NYTimes because they wanted the banana companies to pay some minimal taxes. NYTimes

Specifically, Human Rights Activists in Iran's count is 6,488. Iran International is the main outlet that claimed more (first 10k, then 30k and now 40k). Iran International is actually Saudi-owned and technically based in the UK but, a

Fascinating to see Canada and the US and the opposite extremes of that. Also interesting to see Indonesia, who had a massive genocide within living memory, as second most trusting. Most of all I'd love to see this study replicated in d
