Are you a political journalist/activkst / anyone else that would be the victim of targeted s(tate-sponsored) attacks? Listen to them.

Are you anyone else? They're overkill for you.

Wait, you guys have to pay for births?

Don't you have problems with sinking birthrates?

why should we ignore it?

because then my whole argument actually makes it worse.

How about the ocean life destroying trash gyres? Sea- and bird-life choking plastics? Microplastics with as-yet not fully understood fallout? Chemicals from plastics and their manufacture leaking into water supplies?

Plastics are a generally a petroleum product, so regardless of whether the product from those drilling rigs makes plastic bottle tops or bunker fuel, it’s killing or hurting something for our convenience.

Summed it up perfectly.

Still not putting a /j on my comment though.

I mean... technically the oil could also be used for plastic in which case it wouldn't be burned.

Ignore that plastic may or may not be worse for the environment please.

Lmao the tape is absolutely adorable.

Also a hedgehog's belly looks surprisingly naked. There definitely should be spikes there that little pervert just took off.

yeah, if only we lived in an age where medication made it possible for people with medical problems to treat them and live a normal life. But alas, that's not our fate. So sad.

maybe if you as a society started actually being healthy and stopped eating until your heart has to pump with the power of a dozen hydraulic pumps just to circulate your blood we could actually be finding treatments for people that have such medical issues and help them. Instead of telling ourselves that comforting people who have to use pythagoras' formula to calculate where their legs are because they can't look down anymore somehow helps those with diseases, we could actually find cures for them.

And yes, they do impact me. They unnecessarily clog up hospitals taking up vital resources and costing a lot of money, more than smokers (fun fact: Thanks to the high taxes on cigarettes nad their early deaths, smokers are cheaper on the health service than even normal people). Infrastructure also suffers as it needs to be designed around fat people. And we've all been unable to sit on a bus while a fat person takes up an entire row for themselves.

Don't lie to yourself. Obesity is a problem and it's manmade. Deep down you know this. If liberalism means that a person is allowed to overeat as much as they want with no regard for how they're burdening society and those around them, then it also means that I'm allowed to make fun of you for being fat with no regard for how I'm "burdening" them.

Okay, so? Why is it normal to judge people for smoking but not for overeating?

I have never posted, commented or did anything else in this community and only found out when I wanted to make a post about the GNU Taler in Switzerland.

I have been a vocal critic of Israeli Warcrimes and Nettanyahus authoritarianism, calling him a potential Fascist. But I guess that wasn't Anti-Israel enough and therefore Zionism.

I guess this is a modern-day example of "the revolution devours its own children".

 

GNU Taler begins operating in Switzerland, distributed by the Taler Operations AG. Gnu Taler aims to be a “digital wallet” and has been used by the swiss national bank as well as the european national bank as a example for how a digital currency handed out by the state could work. It aims to be as privacy preserving as cash for the buyer while not allowing the seller to evade taxes.

Currently the Taler is brought out by a special organisation, the “Taler Operations AG”, and not the national bank, although both the national bank as well as the Taler Team have shown interest in a official digial currency by the national bank based on the Taler. But we need to relativate as the national council has stated that the introduction of a digital currency would probably take relatively major legislative changes and therefore take a bit of time.

Please don't just read the Title, the reportage is more nuanced. The Title isn't to be taken suggestive but as a actual question the Reportage is trying to answer.
