Except… it looks like people did start posting. So the users were crowded out by bots before and they’re posting now. That just shows that Reddit isn’t dead, but it does have too many bots.

I mean, I’m sure many people here wish there was more non-bot content. It’s annoying to see something on Reddit and come back here and see the same thing.

Wikipedia is one click away:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea

Formerly the third-largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 2007, it had declined to 10% of its original size

former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the shrinking of the Aral Sea “one of the planet’s worst environmental disasters”.

The Aral Sea region is heavily polluted, with consequent serious public health problems. UNESCO has added historical documents concerning the Aral Sea to its Memory of the World Register as a resource to study the environmental tragedy.

The more expensive eggs taste better and only cost a quarter more. Would you pay 50¢ to make your breakfast taste better? You should.

Don’t worry. No one knows who this dude is.

Bitcoin is just a scam in general.

“Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”

“What can I do with it?”

“Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”

"I’m in.*

1. They provided no evidence for their claim that energy use has increased. They just said “it contradicts what I’ve heard from everyone else.” Since my comment was about efficiency, energy per capita or per device used is the best measuring stick.
2. World population is projected to increase for a bit more and then stabilize around 10 billion. Population growth has been declining since 1963.

3. Why am I the only person posting sources? Do your own research.

I provided my evidence, now you need to provide yours.

Annual per capita energy consumption was relatively flat from the late-1980s through 2000 and has generally decreased each year since then.

It doesn’t even make sense in the future. Not only have power requirements decreased over the past two decades, fusion would be a much smaller and denser power generation method than space-based solar.

If solar power improves and power requirements are reduced, eventually you might just slap a few solar cells on every electronic item and call it a day. Solar powered calculators were very popular.

If you make less than $20K, there’s no real way to save up. 15% of 0 is 0. But if you can afford some extras, definitely send an automatic 10% to 20% of your paycheck to your 401k plan or whatever. You will genuinely not notice it.

Use this calculator to see how saving for the future will benefit you:

Starting at 22 saving 15% of 35K will get you $1.8 million by age 62.

without bias, and brings up the data as evidence.

There is no news without bias. You just said you didn’t want a series of events listed as news. Anything extra is opinion. Even the selection of which facts to include is opinion.

You want either a book or a scientific journal. The well researched ones are boring. I promise, you don’t want them:

My friend, you need to get some exercise and some sleep. Those problems are all worse for most other jobs. That’s what I’m comparing it to.

If you’ve ever worked in a different industry you know that tech jobs are easier and pay better. That’s just a fact.

Software developers are so confusing. You have a physically easy job that pays well and makes people think you’re smart. That’s almost as good as it gets. “Capitalism” is shoveling investor money down your throats.

Software developers didn’t really exist in the USSR, but the computer scientists that did wanted to escape. Most software developers in the Third World now would love to get a huge First World salary. Recognize what you have.

Actually many people were happy to be drafted in WW1 and 2. They volunteered. Women wouldn’t date you if they thought you were a coward. People wouldn’t hire you.

It was such a problem that people with invisible handicaps (epilepsy, hearth issues, flat feet, etc.) carried around their 4F papers to show that it wasn’t their fault they weren’t at the front.

You have to create a Medicaid trust 5 years before you need it.

I have that one. It works decently. No handle but it’s not hard to grip on the outside. You can put it in a bag without spilling coffee.

Just use a thermos.

Try a lid?

That’s not how it works at all. There’s no secret words to get a lower price. The best possible scenario is an upgrade if you have status at the hotel, and that isn’t even guaranteed. Hotels charge businesses a lot of money.

Getting lucky isn’t a viable plan. Tesla has never been a sound investment. Also, if you wanted to gamble, Bitcoin would have been better. Tesla’s like the worst of both worlds.
