@Makedonski_Sin@ShoahUkraine At certain times towards the end of the civil war after most of the communists in the south had been defeated yes, but not in general
@CoachJoshWood@lowlandsapien Its been huge news, not so much recently as it's gotten a lot better. Plenty of swimming, I go for walks by the ocean most nights and haven't seen the froth/smelt the algae for weeks
@lowlandsapien Have you been to the beach recently? It's nowhere near as bad as you say. The algal blooms makes froth and smells bad, there's been fuck all of it recently, my mates who live by the ocean are back to swimming every day, I'm walking by it regularly, haven't smelt it in weeks
@KeithWoodsYT@indigo_bg The nature of things dictates how they interact, and as we know, ordered processes can emerge from the aggregate chaotic interactions of parts. "Purposeful drive" is not a coherent way to understand this, it comes from the nature of the matter itself
@0xApolloGL@Lexivo@Andercot The "party line" is the result of observation that was correct. If you solved a murder and continued to investigate it for another 70 years, the answer would stay the same

@Patriot__au@BenPennings My wife's an evolutionary biologist, it's a very real scientific thing. Imagine if there were 30 people left in the whole world and they were all cousins. They could reproduce, but the closeness of their genes would mean it's guaranteed that eventually they'll go extinct
