Didn’t they get caught red handed? I don’t remember the details well. But at this point yeah, it’d be easier to get a list of companies that weren’t cheating.

Given what VW did with their emissions tests, I can’t say he’s wrong.

Unless you’re worried about them laying the grounds for a military coup of your country…

Yeah, no. Fuck off with your condescending bullshit. I’m not getting into a discussion with somebody who opens with insults and can’t remain civil.

Great, you missed my entire point.

‘Balance’ in the meaning you intend is absolutely a human concept. Life doesn’t give a F about ‘balance’, it just adjusts to the current situation. Conditions change? A few species here and there go extinct, and new ones appear to fill the space. It’s humans who have come up with the concept of ‘balance’. And we’re not wrong! If we want to avoid going extinct, we need to not throw the environment totally out of whack like it’s going right now. But if we mess it up? ‘Balance’ goes out the window, humanity goes extinct, and life on Earth goes on without us. ‘Balance’ matters to nobody but humans.

‘Balance’ is a human concept. The planet will get by fine. The only relevant question is whether humans will.

I call BS on at least some of those claims. Citation or GTFO

Hur hur, you said anal!

Why? It’s certainly a good question. Why would the country be reluctant to invest in a company which they are patronising?

The global birth rate is already at or even below the replacement rate. The only reason we’re not seeing population shrinkage right now is due to inertia. It takes decades for changes in the birth rate to reflect in the actual population figures, but it will happen. It won’t however happen in time to prevent environmental catastrophe, which is what most people think of when they cheer dropping birth rates. It will just be the social catastrophe of the next century.

Because it shoots lasers

What’s the reasoning for this? Why wouldn’t you want to pit players against other players of a similar level? Genuine question.

Do you mean PR? Not sure how much R&D April Fools actually involves

The Nepali have genetically adapted to living in low oxygen conditions. They literally have thicker blood than the rest of us. Evolution at work.

Best I can say is this is a small step up from the Pinkertons debacle

Japan would seriously be a perfect country to move to if not for a couple of major glaring societal issues.

You can have mine, my wife keeps telling me I can’t have them since I’m a guy. I think she’s just jealous, but nobody’s perfect.
