We’re talking about ports icing over, which will happen less as global temperatures rise. Bringing up other climate change problems (that are far from unique to Russia) does not change that.

When you have a deep understanding of the issue

It freezes, it will continue to freeze

No, the likely scenario is that maximal ice coverage will (continue to) recede noticeably.

As Arctic ice continues to melt, [the Arctic Northern Sea Route] is anticipated to become more accessible to ships, albeit with navigational availability remaining contingent on the ship category and seasonal considerations.

A meme that will only look sillier as climate change gets worse

Or they pad it with a ton of absolute garbage

The “1 in 5” probably makes it sound way more prevalent than it actually is.

• Say you have 5 companies that interviewed 200 people each in the recent past
• 1 candidate had a parent come to their interview (which could mean “driving them to the interview and waiting in the lobby,” which is still weird but nowhere near the connotation of “sat in and listened to interview questions”)
• 1 in 5 companies will report they’ve had a parent come to an interview, even though 0.1% of candidates brought a parent

It’s impossible to create a survey that transmits people’s actual thoughts directly to you. Every single survey, ever, has flaws and biases. The game is figuring out the bias, how significant it is, and if you can get anything useful out of the results.

Thank goodness we have people willing to organically repeat what companies say with zero analysis, we don’t get enough of that in every major media outlet

Wonder if the “free speech on college campuses” crowd will go to bat for this one

Yeah, it kind of makes sense if magic is rare, difficult to obtain, but not entirely foreign. Basically a luxury good.

To use an example luxury good, we all know what a private jet is. We couldn’t build one or buy one, but we know there are people who can. It’d be cool to be in one but not some unimaginable experience.

You complain when people take your post seriously, you complain when people dismiss it, you complain when people “put words in your mouth” and whine about straw men but do exactly those things to others, you write pages of comments but suddenly refuse to elaborate when pressed on an inconvenient point.

What are you doing here besides sectarianism and acting like a horse’s ass?

So out of the 420-428 tanks deployed by the Republicans, more than 75% came from the Soviet Union.

Stop the fight!

You have your sink to eat over, too!

“Reality is stranger than what TV advertisers can imagine” is a lot less interesting than “reality is stranger than fiction”

One thing I’ve found that’s helped me work out more regularly is picking up a sport or activity you actually like on its own merits. Rock climbing, basketball, soccer, etc. Find a place to do that, then it itself is exercise, and you’ll find it easier to just go for a run or lift weights because you tell yourself it’s to get better at the thing you like.
