"And since we often, without thinking, use size as a proxy for importance or power, this subtly reinforces a sense of northern superiority over the global south."

We also use position as a proxy for importance or power, so perhaps they should flip the map over as well. /s

It was the smartphone that completely ruined the internet. Once everyone was connected 24/7 it became the ultimate eternal September.

The "allowed" aspect that you're ignoring is about punishment. Some walkouts are punished while others aren't, based on ideology.

You recall incorrectly, as he was using that example in the bible as to why you don't follow a literal interpretation.

If it increases renewable energy production, then it could still end up as a net-benefit for society, once it collapses.

This sounds a lot like: You're either with us or against us, or you have nothing to fear is you have nothing to hide.

Is the capability of these explosives at a safe level if the liquid precursors are less than 3.5 fl ounces? If they are still capable of blowing a hole in the fuselage with less than 3.5 fl ounces then the limits on fluids are still pointless.

I would say that many of those cheap goods are simply trash that people buy impulsively that either collects in their homes or ends up in landfills in a short period of time. Fast fashion being a well known one, where people buy lots of cheap clothes that are of poor quality and may only be worn once before being thrown out. We don't need these things and the environment doesn't need to be full of landfills of this junk either.

Sounds like they're using the excuse of the tariffs to overcharge. They would pay the tariffs on their wholesale costs when they import. If they're then passing the same tariff % to the customer at their retail price then they're ripping you off.

It's very simple, Americans believe that the individual is responsible for themselves while most of the rest of the world wants to be "protected" by a restrictive government. One leads to innovation and one stifles it. We would rather be responsible for discovering the truth on our own, than trust a central authority to decide what is and isn't true(or propaganda). I find it funny how Europeans think their governments are protecting them from propaganda instead of drowning them in propaganda.
