This might seem callous, but… the purpose of the UN was never to prevent wars from happening. The UN is an international forum, it is not a world government. The purpose is to create a space for nations to talk to each other, and to organize collective action on issues that the majority of members agree on. The UN was not intended to override the sovereignty of member nations - if it was, nations wouldn’t join in the first place.
Assuming this is a desktop PC, prevention is much better. Get a case with dust filters (preferably removable) on the intake fans or just add some to your existing case. I would call this essential if you have pets.
If I can’t see them, they can’t see me!
Only problem is that cost of living problems are world wide and not just NYC.
Literally: “the problem [with the proposed action] is that it only applies to a specific area and not the whole world”
I didn’t twist anything. Your comment doesn’t contain any more nuance than that.
“This attempt to help some people doesn’t solve everyone’s problems everywhere all at once, therefore it’s not good enough!”
Oh, yes that does change the meaning.
“I’m a personality prototype. You can tell, can’t you?”
Hey man, the tech literate people were saying this:
It’s the VCs and the marketing people who were pushing cloud services as the next big thing.
or that they actually had some kind of plan…
I haven’t claimed any accomplishment.
This is only just getting started. Just because there haven’t been immediate results doesn’t mean the protest is a waste of time and effort. Its visibility is a success in itself.
The only true failure is in quitting.
To suggest that the protests should not be done is to collaborate with the human dumpster fires that caused the protests.
No defeatist talk.
Fascism was always fraud.
“Big enough.”
You can’t generalize women this way. They’re individual people.
It’s possible that plants feel pain, not necessarily the same way that we do but there’s indications of chemical responses to damage and shared danger signals. And, well…
In a macabre turn of events, there’s also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia found that plants understand and respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars munching on them.
Plants exhibit sophisticated abilities, sensing and reacting to various environmental aspects, engaging in communication and complex interactions with other species. While some behaviors are instinctual, others might hint at a form of cognition. Calvo’s work focuses on identifying factors indicative of cognitive behavior in plants, such as flexibility, prediction and goal-directedness.
“A doctor must go where the sick people are”
Right, that would be the kind of “collective action” that I mentioned… it doesn’t have anything to do with preventing nations from going to war with each other… the UN doesn’t have that kind of authority and never did.
