Chinese cities are not really "cities". They are closer to counties and in some instances like Chongqing, a literal province. The bigger cities are a administratively half a level above counties.

The biggest value for me is that it helped me breakdown my moral positions so I figured out what I truly cared about. I had previously held many culturally influenced moral positions which I found little to no grounding when seriously considered.

"Objective morals" are extremely religious, culty, hivemind-like because they are passed on as matter-of-fact truths that don't need to be examined, regardless of whether it comes from a region or your favorite insta influencer. They get repeated as mantras by many who cant back up their beliefs.

I think you can still have morals - I'm just saying that your morality is a product of you personally interacting with the world. There's no fountain of moral knowledge that we collectively drink from. So.. don't be surprised when your morals diverge from another person.

First off, the logical conclusion of my statement is that we should procreate.

Second, calling biology constraining is a gross underestimation of our complex normative system which gives birth to the best and worst of humanity.

Everything is arbitrary. What's even more arbitrary than descriptive truths are moral truths - like - don't kill the innocent. The sooner we reconcile our differences and realize that society is only possible through tethered connections biologically programmed into us, the better we will all be. The alternative is groups of people feuding over "moral truths" that are IMPOSSIBLE to reconcile because "moral truths" are inaccessible.

Well it wasn't always a case for the Asian community either yet somehow the Asian community thrives today.

A lot of paintings get stolen though, what makes this case special

Seeweed is ok, but I'm a huge fan of kelp. Any broth-like soup with kelp will instantly taste better

Just to be clear, we want costs to be passed on because the real solution to climate change is an adjustment to our consumption habits.

This thread reminds of facebook comments of people saying AWS is dumb because you can just put 10 CPUs and 5 sticks of ram for a quarter of the price. I don't get what's so hard to understand here, it just glamping for rich people who aren't very outdoorsy.

Under a capitalist system, you just need to force people to pay for the externalized cost so incentives align.

Oh damn, you're right, I totally misread the article

Why does the narrative that Russia blew up its own pipeline exist.
