    Africa's elephants have reached a tipping point: more are being killed each year than are being born, a study suggests.

    Researchers believe that since 2010 an average of nearly 35,000 elephants have been killed annually on the continent.

    They warn that if the rate of poaching continues, the animals could be wiped out in 100 years.

    ...
    Welp, elephants are screwed.

    there was a story on this on cbs sunday morning this past weekend and it was so damn depressing

    basically the east asian ivory trade / traditional medicine is going to drive elephants (and rhinos, for that matter) extinct and there's nothing we can really do about it

    I think I remember reading a thing about a guy who contends that ivory can essentially farmed and harvested from animals (not sure whether it was rhinos or elephants) without harming them, and although you could potentially disrupt the black market by allowing for humane ivory it's probably too late to actually do enough because you wouldn't be able to easily distinguish between legal and illegal ivory.

    Limey is almost entirely neutral without some swearwords in front. Ros bif is unsuccessful because how great is roast beef. Pom can gather some contempt around it in the mouth of a decently aggressive Australian, but is usually pretty innocuous.

    The French used to call English soldiers 'Goddamns' in the Napoleonic War, which is such a terrible attempt at giving someone a nickname it defies belief. Nicknames for your enemy aren't supposed to make them sound awesome.

    i think it's more about the optics than anything, here

    like, this whole situation already feels out the 50s civil rights movement

    and the suggestion just brings that image more and more into focus

    Sure, if you're not the subject of discrimination, "slurs" will just be terms of endearment to you.
    Because the word has no power.

    But when you're the minority, the word can have some pretty bad baggage.

    But, you know, who cares, right?

    its pretty weird actually but there u go, valve decided not to give a shit

    hiring a class of support peons would defo change the company culture

    Steam only had 2 people answering tickets, for millions of users. Anything complicated that a basic form letter didnt handle, they would just ban the account and refuse further contact. It was like 5 hitlers, and now its just hitler.

    I was listening to Joe Rogan's podcast and he had this nutcase on talking about Seasteading.

    Basically building floating cities in international water.

    The blatant overtones of using desperate poor people fleeing 3rd world countries as a source of cheap labor were staggering.

    English people are the best, so any way people refer to our Englishness is a compliment.

    Oh no, calling me roast beef? So you're calling me fucking delicious, I am wounded to the core

    You can always call them Scottish or Irish.

    Or is it the other way around?

    They always talk as if it would be so independent when in reality every single plan relies on basically being a parasite of a real state.

    Yesterday I considered linking a list of slurs for native people so you guys could get more creative when you want to offend me

    But some of them just played off of slurs towards other races, and that just seemed rude

    oh yeah, I know! In the grand scheme of things, it's a minuscule amount for a doctor visit (I got it cheaper because I'm a student), it is just frustrating as it is a large amount to me with my current finances

    It certainly couldn't be worse than the support peons they have now that have severe mental disabilities?

    in this case i think it's more overqualified people who disdain their customers, who (to be fair) can be extremely annoying especially when upset

    There is no legitimate way these people have qualifications.

    The secretaries here that can't figure out how to put paper in a printer have more qualifications.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Right.

    Also, what would you do about crime?

    "We'd have security!"

    Ok, who legitimizes the security force?

    "The high seas are already super safe!"

    But... There aren't cities there...

    "But I've been on a cruise ship and wasn't stabbed or shot or anything!"

    I... are you serious? How do you protect yourself from other Seasteaders? Like an invasion?

    "Nobody invades the Cayman Islands! They don't have an army!"

    I'm pretty sure they have some sort of defense treaties? Who would honestly give a fuck about some seastead?

    These seem like really basic questions that haven't been thought about for more than 10 minutes.

    Also, "We can build a space station, so we can obviously build a sea station" Nonononononononono

    NOoooooOoooo

    Not really. They just generally call you "sir" and bow quite a lot and ask that you leave them some of the harvest because their children do need to eat, mi'lord.
