I’m bullish on open borders. Not lack of sovereignty, and all fully documented. But if people are emigrating/immigrating “illegally”, there’s only one real solution. Tightening borders only benefits the well-off and slavers. Poor people are well aware it is possible to be poor in an MEDC. And mostly colder.
I think we can all agree destruction of the environment is bad. Has it or the incentives gotten any better since, or was it optimistic?
They don’t even have to sell it, company valuation increases alone are evidence of piracy
The trouble is, if all the considerate people who don’t want kids don’t have kids, the only people left will be the kids of the kids that did want kids.
Probably being an absolutist instead of considering case-by-case leaves room for criticism.
In your example, Biden pulling out of Afghanistan. Was it wrong to intervene in the first place, probably? But pulling out at that point caused the deaths of western allies and handed victory to the Taliban, causing millions to suffer eg. women can’t get jobs and single-mother families starve to death… and it was entirely foreseeable.
I would argue that Humanitarian Intervention should be excluded, and certain UN-led actions (although the bureaucracy has certainly led to interventions occurring after mass deaths, unfortunately).
So if you made this out of Hershey’s, it’d be both?

Some browsers will not keep your history indefinitely (or even more than a month) any more
ADHD overhead to further organisation?
I have folders of folders of bookmarks, save all tabs as a new dated bookmark folder at intervals (some bookmarks are therefore duplicated as many times as they continue to exist), just in case I hit the dreaded close all button.
I do try to get rid of them as much as I can, but it’s like in my mind when I’m deleting them the question is “is this process still running?” and (due to ADHD?) I guess 300 tabs is the answer?
Some things are not reproducible as bookmarks, for example pages with post content will be reposted on reload (or thawing)… which while perhaps is not great web design (and you would hope they would have error catching for safety), is a benefit of tab vs bookmark? Also I would say thumbnails as a visual reference, and they have actually saved me if a website has disappeared and all urls now get redirected, I have caught the title from the cached thumbnail.
I have found “history”, even if you select “keep forever” is always being deleted, and bookmarks do not get surfaced on search, presumably due to inefficient search/index/storage, however, tabs are very reliably right there.
If I could have a system, it would be no number of tabs, and they silently slip off into cold storage and lose their metadata over time, perhaps just a list of titles at the very top/bottom/oldest.
This is insane, I understand that :-)
That button should be able to be turned off; is there a delete all button on your hard drive? No, that’s insane. Tabs are files. Tabs are life.

I see a lot of solo posters in this thread, unfortunately we only allow group posters after the watershed, sorry gtfo
No that’s a type of blind. Cortana is a fictional character from the Halo video game franchise.

If a Taliban victory was inevitable, this is yeah totally true. The “rip off the bandaid” approach.
The question of how long it takes to peacefully handover power in a colony is an interesting one. It can be an absurd amount of time, may never be 100%, or it may never be peaceful, if resentment persists. I think it is possible, but we may differ there.
It’s certainly hard to justify the long-term cost to American life, expenditure, energy and focus to attempt beneficial cultural change on the other side of the world.
Unsurprisingly perhaps, some things are actually better in Afghanistan, since 2021. Definite evidence that war is in fact, worse, generally, than even a very dickish government. Looking at the data, I might come down on your side, it’s tough.
