yeah on the right side where the UPS guy is sitting https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64488678
pretty sure stuff like resume screening is done using machine learning nowadays
there's a whole book on the subject of bullshit jobs incidentally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs
The one who is actually daft is the guy who claimed that US is helping Taiwan become democratic while apparently being fully aware of the fact that US itself isn't.
You create an image of the people you talk with and then argue with that image.
Nah, I read the imbecilic comments you write and reply to their content.
You look for fault in others. You look for reasons to feel or be righteous. You look for all this stuff. And sometimes, you find it where it isn’t.
You're just projecting here. I address what people are saying, and you consistently produce drivel in pretty much every one of your replies. You practically never engage with the subject, you just do name calling and character attacks. That's literally all you do.
Your style is broken. Your approach is broken. You vision of who you speak with is broken. You’ve forgotten that with very rare exception, all posters are people.
Why do you think I care what you think about my style. You're not a person I respect or whose opinions I value. To me you're just a troll following me around producing background noise.
And if the topic of persuasion or decency doesn’t seem substantive to you, then you really need to reflect on why that’s your response.
Respect is earned. If you want people to take you seriously then make actual arguments to support whatever point you want to make instead of spending your time trying to psychoanalyze people and make personal attacks while whinging about not being respected. It's frankly pathetic.
Let’s add: you responded quickly to the tankie part. What say you about hating people for their country of origin? Because you’ve shown active disdain as soon as you think you know they’re from places.
That's completely and utterly false. It's just the caricature you've created of me. I don't hate people based on their country of origin at all. There are plenty of people I respect in the west, you just don't happen to be one of them. What I have disdain for are shills for the burger empire such as yourself.

Running around calling people who disagree with your tankies when you don't have anything of substance to say really highlights the quality of your intellect. In all our discussions, you've only managed to produce a single intelligible comment when you were forced to admit that US is an oligarchic shithole that's not actually exporting democracy around the world. I don't hate people for their country of origin, I hate the despotic global empire that your country built and what it's done to the world.
CIA is absolutely seething, they even wrote this completely unironically https://www.usip.org/publications/2023/06/talibans-successful-opium-ban-bad-afghans-and-world

I think the risk of a strategic blunder is a lot higher than people realize. There were plenty of episodes during the cold war when nukes almost got launched by accident. We're now entering a scenario where trust is at all time low and everybody is trigger happy.
Fertility alone may not even be a factor. For example, one thing that could've easily happened is that they significantly increased overall mosquito population, and the infertile mosquitoes could've been more appealing food for predators than smaller newly hatched mosquitoes. The number of fertile males may not even be a limiting factor because each female lays many eggs. As I said earlier, biological systems are complex and it's very easy to end up with unintended consequences that are impossible to predict before hand.
well there's always the nuclear holocaust too
