Uhh it’s not like the UK is actually any better in this situation if it’s true that they are sending random migrants to Rwanda

Not suggesting our system is correct or even good, but have you considered who a person counts as their most trusted advisors? Usually ones immediate family are very important to them and often helps guide their opinions on life.

So when it comes to the president or leader of a country, I think it’s actually a bit nice to see the family, because they will absolutely be involved somehow. Knowing if the family is stable or not in public appearances is fairly valuable to understanding the proposed leader.

So what, we should eat shit and die and suffer and not be excited about things that feel like small victories?

The pov you’re providing is bleak and grim. We aren’t dumb, we know we’re fucked and our election sucks. We can focus on multiple things at a time and we can laugh at our political idiots while also being mad at them.

And then 34 tomorrow. Lol, lmao.

FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.

A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”

My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.

I’m also the moderator of a community that Stamets has quit, so I know that losing him is a blow, because he posts a lot of content

Eh no worries, not really a loss when most of the posts were a deluge of low quality content. My feed instantly got better after that block…

No. I want the freedom of changing my house to my exact liking and renting doesn’t allow for that. Furthermore if I’m renting, then I’m paying for someone else’s speculative property.

That’s an incubator!

Your comment is doing the same (and so is mine).

Why complain, just scroll past?

Your insurance benefit offered after health milestones isn’t 30-130% of your salary though

Running 30km (18.6 miles) in a month earns a bonus equivalent to 30% of their monthly salary. Moving up to 40km (24.8 miles) pushes that to 40%. Hitting 50km (31 miles) earns 100%, and the top tier of 100km (62 miles) is 130%

Fortifying foods is very important in Africa and lots of ongoing research and rollouts are happening there. Neat to see China doing it as well successfully, but they are not the only nation trying to solve nutrition and hunger

Agreed about corn fortification coming from China specifically being interesting.

where the share of people in working age will go down significantly

That’s happening in most developed nations, btw.

It did. Lots of times. I’ve seen this headline multiple times. People don’t seem to care.
