Millennials are not moving to the right as they age.

Biggest sources:

• 7.6 Mt from macro plastics breaking down
• 1.3 Mt from paint
• 1.0 Mt from tyres

10-40 Mt released into environment/year, and increasing.

Pearl jam is my favorite band also, and Riot act is probably also my favorite album of theirs.

If you like Pearl jam, I'd recommend my favorite album of all times: Soundgarden's Superunknown.

Some of my lesser-known, non-grunge favorites:

• "Hitomi ni utsuru keshiki" - Luminous, Mayuko
• "Strange fruit" - Nina Simone
• "Boulevard of broken dreams" - Maiya Sykes, Postmodern jukebox
• "Mr. Rattlebone" - Matt Maeson
• "Stubborn beast" - Bear's den
• "Blue eyes" - Springbok nude girls
• "Farsi prayer" - Lisbeth Scott
• "Hey ma durga" - Krishna Das, Baird Hersey, Prana
• "Bright morning stars" - The wailin' Jennys
• "Hymn 1, Axion esti" - Vassilis Tsabropoulos
• "La danse de mardi gras" - The Balfa brothers

Wouldn't it be better to go back a little further back in time, and give the weapons before the flogging and rapes?

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

he also professed to be Christian

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus Christ said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

A biosphere that becomes unlivable is an emergency. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced is not an emergency, it's good.

opossum is naturally immune to rabies

The CDC says they're not, they just rarely have rabies: https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/rabies/pdf/vs-0612-wildlife-rabies-h.pdf

The way the 4th panel leads your eyes up to the 2nd is amazing: 5 panels for the size of 4.

Which English translation do you prefer and recommend? I like NET because of it's less-rights reserved copyright, but for ease of understanding I prefer translations that use contemporary language instead of just footnotes.

be kind to them. Fight violence and oppresion with kindness. draw attention to them.

I think this characterization of turning the other cheek is more complete and supported by the nearby text, even for someone like me who prefers Jefferson's eliding.

Re: "do not resist", are there other nearby passages that expand it to more than just refraining from violence, into actually resisting evil persons? I ethically agree with your expanded position of trying to overcome injustice in this world - but doesn't the quotes of Jesus in the canonical books rely instead on waiting for justice in heaven and hell, and not on Earth?

Voyager 5.17 "Course: oblivion"

Hell of an ending.

All that stuff about turning the other cheek and going the extra mile-- it’s not saying to just put up with abuse, mistreatment, and injustice. It’s talking about what people like Martin Luther King and Gandhi did, using oppressors violence and mistreatment against them.

Doesn't it? I think when Jesus said "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39 he meant put up with abuse, mistreatment, and injustice - do not resist an evil person and do not retaliate when attacked.

I think when Jesus said "love your enemies [...] Be perfect" Matthew 5:44, 48 he meant love your enemies and be perfect.

I think when Jesus said "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor" Matthew 19:21 he meant sell your possessions and give to the poor.

A lot of supply-side Jesus followers say Jesus supports the troops, and that the eye of the needle the camel needs to go through isn't actually the eye of a needle - but a gate.

I think the above quotes are good things to do, eventho I'm not an ethical enough person to do them. I also think all the supernatural things Jesus is quoted as saying is bullshit, and that it's better to be honest than to repeat a bunch of stupid fairy tales.

inaction of Gen X

Which actions could gen X take to prevent the Anthropocene extinction from becoming a mass extinction event? We're such a small cohort that there's not enough of us to vote-in ethical parties. Should we jail or hang most of the boomers, biological parents, drivers, and fliers undemocratically? There's not enough of us to vote-in crimes-against-life laws.

Isn't our inaction the best we can do? By many more of us not contributing to unsustainable levels of human overpopulation, we're at least much less complicit in the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change and the root cause of almost all the major existential/ethical problems facing us.

By not flying and driving, we're not complicit in the 2nd and 3rd biggest omnicidal acts.

By not consuming animals, we're not complicit in factory-farming and fishing - which causes more pain and suffering than all other atrocities ever committed in history, combined. Hundreds of billions of animals are enslaved in torturous conditions and trillions of fish tortured to death every year.

We're too small a group to fix things, but we can abstain from the psychotic things older people think are normal.

Millennials and gen Zs are turning out on average to be much more ethical than us gen Xers, and they might actually vote in Greens once enough boomers die out. Hopefully that happens before anthropogenic climate change cascades.

Welcome to Lemmy.

The lead actor, Peter Sellers, was also in the Pink panther movies (trailer for 1st movie) which you might also like.

My favorite Sellers movie is Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (trailer).

The party (1968)? Trailer.

Thanks for the comments. Based on them I found https://github.com/snapcrafters/gimp/issues/21 which suggested copying the font to ~/.fonts/ (which didn't work) and to /usr/local/share/fonts/ which fixed it - Epiphany can now see the font, and I can now set it as default in Firefox (tho Firefox is ignoring it in a page's CSS).

Answer: "The lifespan of these wasps is only 5 days"

"it's brain cells get rid of their own nucleus and all its stored maintenance information. The neurons already exist, so maintenance is the only task [...] requiring DNA, and they don’t live long enough for that to matter at this point"

"No nucleus or DNA frees up half of a neuron’s volume"

Anyone know why Megaphragma mymaripenne's genus has "mega" in the name?

The crust is minuscule compared to the core and mantle.

The mantle makes up about 84% of Earth’s total volume. The temperature varies from about 1 300 K (1 000°C, 1 832°F) near its boundary with the crust, to 4 000 K (3 700°C, 6 692°F) near its boundary with the core. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/mantle/

The temperature in the Earth's core is uncertain: estimates at the inner core boundary range from 4 000 K to 8 000 K and at the core–mantle boundary from 3 000 to 4 500 K. https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfbdxa/pubblicazioni/nat.pdf
