Oh fuck off with this science denial NYT. Climate change is settled science. There is no serious debate on whether El Niño strength is impacted by climate change especially given the magnitude this year.
It's not known exactly how many people develop long COVID after an acute COVID-19 infection because estimates vary, but it ranges between 2 percent and 10 percent of the infected population.
At least 65 million people worldwide have long COVID, including 10–20 percent of children with a history of COVID-19.
The debilitating illness affects multiple organ systems and is associated with more than 200 symptoms, including fatigue, memory issues, sleep disorders, concentration impairment, dizziness, orthostatic intolerance, sensory overload, post-exertional malaise, headaches, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal issues.
It often leads to potentially lifelong conditions such as dysautonomia, cardiovascular disease, myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), diabetes, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).
Maybe because the people at the top don't care about these problems?
As I watch the continued development of industries that are environment-destroying, the military buildups, the deployment of surveillance and developing potential worker-replacement tools, the destruction of social safety nets, etc. I have to wonder, why? In the past it felt like people had ideological or profit motives driving this behaviour at the top, and you'd get a little of this, a little of that, get away with what they could. This seems so coordinated and blatant in the face of environmental breakdown, societal distinction, the the kind of poly crisis that in the past would have spurred more regulations, more caution, more contrition.
Rightly or wrongly it feels like the behaviour we see is from people who believe they can do these things because the problems don't matter. Society will break down into feudal fascist states, the environment will crumble, and population will need to be controlled. If you believe this outcome is inevitable or desirable, then putting effort into fixing climate crises, strengthening democracy, or addressing societal inequity is just a waste of time or even counter to your goals.
having fewer people would at least give the planet some extra cushion
Right, because the billionaires wouldn't use that as an excuse to dump more wasteful externalities on the rest of us to use up that cushion and pad their profits.
Not saying this isn't a lived experience, but anyone have a link to "visual exhaustion" in research? This sounds like a medical/scientific term but I cant find any references to back that up.
Ultimate Showdown vibes.
Get your hand off my wiener!
Depends on what you consider a fanny I guess.
Seems like AI slop article.
With an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.
NAS is way easier. Working with a baby you are testing in prod all the time. Congrats on both!
Wubba Lubba dub-dub!
Boy, I could sure go for a death stick right now.
Why not post a link to the article...

Maybe, but I want to see Uranium batteries go mainstream, how 'bout U?
No, people are still dying and being disabled by it. In fact, maybe if the world feels shitty it is but also you might have brain damage from multiple infections.. Also from the last link, in case you needed convincing:

I read comments like this and all I hear is
