Yes the EPA should be able to regulate noise pollution too, unless maybe if another agency is doing that job. No, there is no issue to have that definition encompassing all of what in society causes damage to the open environment [1]. Note

Yes (I agree with you, I am just trying to rephrase to make your point even more punchy). It has been a pollutant as soon as it has started to be emitted at large scale through combustion, in particular of fossil fuels. People who deny it a

It's a pollutant in quantities such as emitted by human activities, always orders of magnitude more than what any terrestrial life form emits through respiration. This GHG is emitted (alongside methane, by the way), by humans, in such

It is not weird at all. A completely useful (and consistent with the modern usage of the word) definition of "pollution" can be worded as: "anthropogenic alteration of the open environment with negative consequences on ecosys

Not a "structure", but rather atmospheric resonance create this polygonal shape, from cyclones self-arrangement etc. Same thing on Jupiter, by the way, known since a long time. I'd say that "structure" is click-bait

"You have to compile iOS apps on a Mac anyway" Well, not if somebody finds a way to run the compilation elsewhere! Hence my comment! Right now, iOS dev requires to own a recent Mac machine, which is hell of expensive, and moreover

The real deal-breaker is supporting the iOS app development. Which right now is only possible using XCode.

No support for iOS though.

Ridiculous. I am anti fascist, and I have never heard of any of what you are talking about. I oppose fascism. That does not magically infuse into my brain mysterious connections to groups of people, nor instantaneous knowledge and mastery o

And you are factually wrong. You are probably thinking about the Communist factions among the Republican forces opposed to Franco. ALL of the Republican factions were opposed to Franco and to fascism, not only the Communists. And, besides,

And if a Christian group is doing Demonic stuff that's a problem. And seeing slop where there is not, you are being rude to me without purpose. Not everybody is born in an English-speaking country. I laid down the ideas logically, mayb

What somebody says != what somebody does. If somebody says something nice and does nothing, that's good. If at the same time somebody does something bad, that's bad. That does not remove the evaluation (nice or bad) of the speech

NK is a dictatorship. I don't know where you got the misunderstanding that they would be "anti-fascist"......... Anti fascist => anti dictatorship. Anti fascist means that you don't like fascism and that you are not g

Which of Trump or Putin is worse is irrelevant. Trump's US is maybe on par with Putin's Russia, maybe better or maybe worse (which depends on which aspect is looked at). That cannot deter us from fighting against what is bad in bo

Exactly. Antifa is short for "opposed to fascism". Which, you know, is the bad thing where you hurt a lot of people just because they are different from the "group" you defined, with the aim of spoliating the outsiders t

I'm still hopeful. And for that I am being much more active promoting ecological thinking. And of course fighting against the idiotic far-right propaganda, largely responsible for the climate inaction. Which by the way in the US has re

But you also need to explain others why they should do that too (only one person doing all of that will not make a difference). This is where "people watching Fox News" are guilty here, they got the wrong information and thus are

"Giving money to corpos" is basically living in society where the work is shared so that somebody e.g. good at repairing a water leak can concentrate on that and do the job for others, etc. Or you mean "big corpos"? Why

But this doesn't apply in Klein's case, as he rephrased, and this had some purpose as it increased the integration and logical coherence of the whole. If it is rephrased, you cannot just put quotation marks. But you still have to

For anybody not willing to burden their text with full-on quotations, but to avoid such plagiarism claims: It can be as unobtrusive as putting a simple footnote after each of those paraphrased blocks of text, thus only appearing as tiny num

We're talking about separate things, yeah. The Ainu/mainland distinction is a feature arrived much later than the mixing I am referring to. My point is that Japan ethnicity is the product of a mixing just as the one occurring nowa

You're right that it is used commonly, but we have the chance to be in a position to know better (thanks to our cross-cultural and larger perspective). The right term is gaikokujin, but if we speak in English there is no reason to not

We can distill our disagreement into: "present perspective vs past perspective". Why do I think that the archaeologic/anthropologic perspective is a great point on this issue? It's because it's precisely one of the

If so, there is some kind of hope.

That's not what most recent archaeological discoveries tell. Quite distinct groups of humans mixed in ancient Japan, as different and distant at that time as the groups that are mixed in modern times in Peru or India. Some groups were

Yes. Mixing of cultures always lead to adding up their different solutions to all kinds of problems, improving the fitness of the result among other groups of humans. It's gathering all the positive ideas or traditions of several group

It's not ok in Japan either. And its "homogeneous identity" is mostly a construction, dating back from the Meiji era. And Heian period Japan had a completely different set of values, not less nor more valid than Meiji era Jap

That's a dangerous situation for EU: - UK would rejoin EU, - and then, later on, Reform would reach power and undermine EU just like Orban did. So maybe it would be better to refuse UK its reentry into EU...
