But in Django you can do the same thing that doesn't return all rows with `select_related` so it seems kind of like you're not using the features of whatever ORM that is.

Every country is endowed with enough natural renewable resources to service their own needs.

> The countries that are moving away from coal are replacing it with natural gas, nuclear or imported energy/materials. Renewables in some cases but only where the country is endowed with natural energy resources and/or is already rich enough to do so. There are valid reasons why this is not immediately possible for India and China if they are to continue developing.

Incorrect. This isn't even true if you're talking about Australian states, let alone countries.

Across the world, the percentage of fossil fuels used to generate power is dropping. This trend seems likely to continue, and Australians can accelerate it with our economic power. Coal is not required to alleviate poverty. Saying coal is required to alleviate poverty is a hyberbolic and emotional statement.

There's no evidence to suggest that we can't alleviate poverty without coal. We can alleviate poverty any number of ways. Your hyperbolic and emotional assertions about the need for Australia to continue selling coal don't inspire confidence.

We can alleviate poverty without coal.

Keeping global warming under control is important for the economic wellbeing and personal welfare of the people in those countries.

If you excluded metallurgical coal from our exports, we'd still be the largest exporter of coal in the world.

Australia is the largest coal exporter in the world.

I agree that what you say is happening is happening, I think there was some great meta-analysis that showed that p-values were not following a distribution that was statistically possible - like on OkCupid where people that are over 5'10" round up to 6ft.

But I think the underlying reason for the push to publish things - and impactful things are easier to publish, is profit. More hireable grads, more tenured professors publishing papers.

> Combined with industry-wide pressures to publish, the replication crisis was inevitable.

> The replication crisis, if nothing else, has shown that productivity is not intrinsically valuable.

I think this is important to focus on - the point of universities has become to produce profit, and to give people degrees that are profitable, and to appear to be able to do those things. This has very little to do with producing research with verifiable results. It's much more to do with getting students into the funnel by making people with tenure appear as productive as possible.

So your argument is that being offensive to someone isn't the same as being disrespectful? Like, I am genuinely curious about how you're justifying this to yourself.

The behaviour I mentioned above, which runs counter to the "self-reliance" mentioned in an example in the definition.

So do you believe they're absurd?

Toxic masculinity refers to traditional cultural masculine norms that can be harmful to men, women, and society overall; this concept of toxic masculinity is not intended to demonize men or male attributes, but rather to emphasize the harmful effects of conformity to certain traditional masculine ideal behaviors such as dominance, self-reliance, and competition.
