Changes to the environment WRT to nature are neither better nor worse. Nature does not work like that.

Human population has increased from half a billion 500 years ago, to 1 billion 100 years ago to 8 billion now. As we've spread out, we've changed the environment to suit us. There are some species other than humans (rats, pigeons, cows, thistles, corn, etc) who's fitness for survival is improved by these changes, but far, far more species who's fitness decreases in human-changed landscapes.

So think instead that instead of many diverse landscapes & environments with different challenges providing many different survival options, we have far fewer landscapes & environments providing far fewer survival options.

See? Do you understand now? It is not that humans inherently are bad for nature. Its just that we reduce environmental diversity & hence reduce species diversity. There is nothing remotely suspicious about this at all and it is certainly not a paradox.

Riper than your phone or credit card that also use NFC for payments?

Payments via NFC have been around for some time. Other than the form factor, this is no different.

> And you know what? I don't think you got it in you. I think we're about to let our civilization collapse. Not out of laziness or lack of manly men or anything of the sort but just out of a general mean-spirited greediness.

cry some more. i straddle the line between genx and millennial and guess what, life has always been like this. You're suffering from like a warped nostalgia bias because you weren't even alive when what you thought were the "good ol'days" played out. Everyone has always had to fight and scrounge for every penny unless you were born rich, it's always been that way for 99% of people. It's fitting you put fark.com/politics in your sig because that's exactly where your whining dumbass belongs.

The perfect follow up, to the perfect post.

Letting a chicken eat bugs, etc is the most expensive way to produce eggs. You have zero clues about food production. Please don't comment.

but not 10 years of only moving boxes. It's 10 years of moving boxes and learning new skills, competing for promotion, and building networks of relationships. Believe it or not, it still works. However, 10 years of just turning a crank and going home has never worked and never will work.

"reverse golden parachute" is called golden handcuffs. It's a pretty typical term for when the comp package is nice enough to keep you tied to a job you'd rather not have.

Wow, that is so unbelievably stupid that you deserve to have my handle.

Android makes billions for Google.

i got news for you. it's not the businesses that will paying the workers more, it's you the customer.

what do you expect? An artificially low price? That doesn't make any sense at all, the price will be what the market will bear. Amazon has come to the conclusion the market will bear a price of $139 and so they're adjusting accordingly.

just in time for the omicron wave to die

Walmart already does this with their $4 generic plan. Walmart already has a physical location where these cheap generics are needed the most ( rural America ).

As in *the* Mudge? ...i didn't know he was at Twitter

But the article you linked to says:

So they did call the hospital and asked them, and published what they said.

The article is not 'literally fake news'. It reports on a doctor's concerns & statements and sought comment from the affected hospital. It is literally the opposite of fake news.
