If people aren’t guaranteed access to food, shelter, medical care, and education under your political structures, those structures are either:
• inadequate, and need to be replaced
or
• working as-designed, and need to be destroyed
@rainylune Actual science is visually pretty boring (i.e. staring at a computer) - the symbolic trope of lab-coats/flasks/chalkboards/microscopes is still identifiable/relatable.
a few things to think on:
* your anger is righteous
* you are not alone
* electoral politics has failed you again
* our political class has repeatedly shown they only respond to money and terror
* you will never enough money for them
solidarity to all who want to fight #auspol
You act like there’s nothing to be done about the NRA but a mid-sized Facebook group could have them lobbying *for* restricting gun sales inside a year.
The board of the NRA was chosen by less than 400k members who bothered to vote.
For about $18m total, half a million Americans who support gun regulation could buy complete control of their biggest opposition.
@ArtistAffame@PhilCygnus Radiant (bulb/bar) can save by only heating you and the stuff immediately around you instead of the whole room and the air in it.
They’re mid-priced and pretty safe - just don’t slack on testing your smoke detectors.
@ArtistAffame@PhilCygnus It also means you’re more likely to run it for longer than you need it.
Unfortunately the only more-efficient electric space heating option is heat pumps.
@iAmJ0HN3 @DoctorVive@nytimes FYI people without homes are still people, maybe showing a little compassion and humanity in your own community would help with your “not feeling safe” problem.
@hermit_nature @_dmoser Betsom’s Hill in Kent at 245m isn’t as tall as The Shard.
With a few outliers, the UK is flat within tolerance of any terrestrial transportation; and certainly to the point of not limiting the suitability of cycling.
Interesting that the companies that are investing literally billions in algorithmically monetising attention are censoring you.
Either that, or you get low impressions because an actual machine thinks you’re boring.
Probably the censorship thing.

@Cid_Vivar@ThomasRedstone@thinkx@YAIAG5@iamharaldur I’m assuming you mean “per capita” because all the other figures on that page clearly show that in a representative (median) year the US is the only country they cherry-picked with a non-zero rate.
@Cid_Vivar@ThomasRedstone@thinkx@YAIAG5@iamharaldur > when adjusted for population, the US actually ranked 12th in mass shootings per capita from 2009 to 2015.
“Most countries” in that source would be the 182 countries with fewer mass shootings, not the 11 with more.
