The vast majority of cruise ship passengers are middle class. This hatred on lemmy for anyone and everyone who has even some form of disposable income is ridiculous.

Most countries have less violent racism now than at any other point in history.

Your claim it is one of the most dangerous parts of the world simply doesn’t hold up. Laos doesn’t contain any of the top 100 most dangerous cities.

Laos is mostly considered to have a normal level of danger, except areas bordering Myanmar due to civil war, and Xaisomboun province due to civil unrest, as advised by multiple countries:

Secondly I don’t hate poor people, I was pointing out your hate of people with the means to enjoy their lives.

Young people travelling and experiencing new cultures is a good thing. What else would a person call that but an adventure?

Also it wasn’t the victims that used that word it was the media. You decided you hated the victims before you knew anything about them.

step over poor and dying people and ignore the suffering while you go “wow what an adventure!”

Yea the poor would really appreciate if you kept your income and wealth entirely in your own nation thanks. Tourism has never been important to an economy.

You are a short sighted and angry fool. Too focused on your own situation to view the world through any other lense.

Offensive because you are too poor and it makes you feel bad by comparison?

What are you talking about?

It is known as a fact that asexual reproduction does occur and does not involve the merging of two zygotes.

Everything else you have spouted is purely irrelevant and is deflection.

It is clear you have too much ego to properly participate in science.

I was reading the book description and thinking this sounds like an entirely reasonable basis for an analysis. I didn’t see the comment until I read yours.

Where’s a useless red circle when you need one?

Asexual reproduction has been observed, measured, studied and is fairly well understood.

The specific claim that all multicellular life starts with two zygotes merging is incorrect. While not the main thrust of the article it is wrong.

Your additional claims are simply absurd and you could spend some minimal effort to understand asexual reproduction before making ignorant claims.

Here I will give you a place to start: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=asexual+reproduction+in+animals&oq=asexual+rep

Multicellular animal organisms all start their lives the same way. Two zygotes merge and fuse

I hate to nitpick but asexual reproduction does not require two zygotes.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes.

The USSR was only in the fight thanks to lend lease and even Stalin admitted as much.

Those who would rather lose elections so that they can feel better about themselves leave the real suffering to the people they claim to fight for.

Really sums up the mood in here. I forsee a continual slide to fascism in the US even after Trump is gone because the progressives would rather be righteous than elected.

LMAO redditors unironically defending slavery when it’s done by non-whites. Classic reddit.

There isn’t a shred of masculinity in that fat sack of shit.

From school close to when the street lights came on my parents had zero idea where I was.

I was usually within 20km of home on my bike. Usually.

A lot of men will say whatever they need to so they can get laid.

There is a word for people who make this sort of negative stereotyping of a whole sex.

Ice Station is sitting on my bookshelf and I think you’re severely underestimating nerds who enjoy over the top action.

she doesn’t know

Was the greatest deadpan clap-back I’ve ever heard

New chess grandmaster strat just dropped

Both are trash now and are happy to push partisan rhetoric and outdated science.

I enjoyed reading about Lawrence Hargrave but his story is incredibly sad.

Ending the meat industry would result in the extinction of breeds we have engineered for meat and milk production.

Ending factory farming would significantly reduce numbers and increase quality of life for the animals.
