@ZhugeEX The *median* wealth of a French is almost *twice* the median wealth of an American.
So much for the "Europoor" meme.
The *average* American wealth is high because a tiny number of Americans are absurdly rich. But most Americans get screwed.
🇷🇺‼️🚨 BEHIND THE SCENES: The Russian skyscraper climbers argue like a normal couple … lol
Kinda funny seeing them argue about photos like most couples do … except it’s on top of a skyscraper.
Photos of the banner that was placed on top of The Empire State Building minutes ago + what looks like a proposal. The photos are straight from the Instagram account of Angela Nikolau who just put these up (one of the two people who climbed this). #EmpireStateBuilding
As a Chinese person, I certainly don't want to see Europeans all installing air conditioners. If all 500+ million people across Europe ran AC and lived the way folks do in China, it would spell real trouble for our planet.
Moreover, just as Europeans don't want to see modernization in China's Tibet and Xinjiang, claiming it destroys the culture of local ethnic minorities, we Chinese feel the same way — we don't like seeing modern technologies, such as AC, destroy Europe's primitive way of life. It's an assault on Europe's indigenous culture. We Chinese must speak up for the preservation of European traditions, and never allow modern technology to wipe out Europe's backward but beautiful cultures.
@Panda31808732 Dans le Var qui n'a pas ete en en zone rouge, mais qui était en jaune, 29 en bas. Mais aujourd'hui en orange tout de même, dans une maison non isolée en pierre 31 en bas et 33 en haut vers 21h. A 1h30, après avoir ouvert les fenêtres à partir de 23h, en bas 29.5 et en haut 31.
In the name of oversharing, I am having an incredibly stressful day, sleep deprived after days of a heat wave, battling to save the local habitat for wildlife, and also being bombarded by critical comments and emails about my apparently irresponsible and grossly inappropriate handling of bird over which someone is now threatening to prosecute me under the Animal Welfare Act.
Meanwhile, the bird in question is outside, blissfully unaware, and squeaking happily to himself while he wrestles with a worm.
@B_Stiegler Moi, je l'aime plutot bien Erner, même s'il semble se servir de sources au nombre très limités tel que BBC. Comme beaucoup, Erner est influencé par ces extrémistes du Printemps Républicain qui polarisent les débats à force de propagande Israëlienne.
@phl43 Si on installe du réversible air/air, on peut l'utiliser une bonne partie de l'année. Et ca produit 3 à 4 fois plus de chaleur que de consommation d'electricité.
@arnesa_kustura Oh yes, the way the economy works in the US brings incredible amount of comfort to the middle class an power of adapation as I experienced it years ago. But it also comes with huge carbon emission per capita.
@arnesa_kustura Indeed, architecture adaptation is absolutely in need in places where climate change is severe. AC is easy solution, reversible so it can work in the cold time. Plus, exterior shutters plus insulating, but that's https://t.co/Ogmx2QYhAQ implement even thought that's the way to.go
Petit récap découvert sous le ciel bleu et tiré du Point. En effet pas exhaustif, mais toujours utile : "Ils ont salué (un peu vite) la victoire de #Poutine".
Le capitalisme fait l'objet d'un culte planétaire et exalté. Sa critique progressiste a quasiment disparu. Seuls quelques conservateurs émettent des objections morales sans conséquentes pratiques. Ce n'est pourtant pas une raison pour oublier la nature de ce mode de production.
Je ne veux pas en rajouter du l’affaire Klein et je comprends que l’on puisse garder de l’estime pour le travail de vulgarisateur. Mais puisque certains semblent penser que l’affaire se résume à un lointain doctorat je vous invite à prendre le temps de lire ce document de synthèse édifiant de @JeanAbbiateci https://t.co/UdWSGVxwpy
When my mother was pregnant with me, everyone promised her that the shape of her belly guaranteed a boy. I was supposed to be named Dima Dubrovsky, and when a girl was born, the family was so thrown off they couldn't come up with a name for me for a while.
Later I often heard from my father: "if only I had a son, I'd teach him..." and I tried to fix this awkward situation as best I could — fighting boys, jumping off garage roofs. Sometimes I managed to earn an affectionate "you're our little tomboy" from my father.
Now I know that these behavioral skills turned out to be the most useful thing I picked up as a kid. Geography or botany one can catch up on later — but a social role of a "girl," once drilled into you, doesn't undo.
When later on I met (and joined) a Russian feminist artists' group, it turned out many of us, had each, in their own way, been a boy as a kid — so that later — so that later we could demand a different social status, for ourselves and others, than the one assigned to us.
and I always sought solidarity with women. the role model for boys was male friendship — the three musketeers and all that — while girls, from earliest childhood, were offered endless beauty pageants instead.
I completed the most measured psilocybin experiment in history. The data from my experiment suggests that psilocybin may be a longevity therapy.
