You must become intimately familiar with your opponent, with their movements, their mind, in order to do effective violence, to cause effective destruction.
Or you could be completely indifferent and drone strike them from your office.
The US needs us (India) more than we need them. And they know it. Most likely they’ll impose some symbolic sanction on a little-used item to save their reputation, and then go back to business as usual.
Most east Asian countries are fairly low down on the list. They have excellent public transport, the world’s best high-speed rail networks, and a significant number of road vehicles are already electric.
‘Liberal’ is one of those words that has so many definitions that it can have contradictory meanings. It can mean ‘open to / tolerant of’. It can denote a style of education that tries to be broad rather than deep. It can describe various political positions - the ‘Liberal Party’ is left-wing in Chile, centrist in the UK and Canada, and right-wing in Russia, Japan and Australia. This is also what OP is memeing about. At this point, to avoid confusion, I would just avoid using the word except in the purely academic / technical sense.
Well, that’s the problem with the Israeli strategy. When you murder journalists, doctors and even kids, and call them all Hamas, people who aren’t paying close attention will start thinking that maybe these Hamas are the nice people.
Hi. I’ve been afraid of all non-human life since before I could remember. I got past it, mostly, but I’ve never gotten over the fact that animals can’t speak what they mean....
In your current situation, it would probably not be a great idea to have a cat dependent on you. As someone else said, you can try volunteering at a shelter (if there is one) or feed street cats (if there isn’t one).
As for how they think, cats love food, and most like being petted. However, they are very shy animals, so unless you want to get scratched, it is better to let the cat come to you. Feeding them, sitting still, not speaking loudly, and slowly blinking at them can calm them down.
The majority of cats like to be gently stroked on the sides of the face and the neck, and do not like being touched on their bellies, feet or tails (unless they’ve known you for a while).
If you are the only person feeding the cat, make sure to include some meat or fish. Adult cats should not be given milk, chocolates, spices or too much salt.
A gradual decline in population is a good thing, so they probably don’t want to overshoot too much. Also maybe the minorities pushed for keeping some restrictions.
Current economies are basically dependent on a growing population to support the elderly and retired members of the population.
This applies only when labour is in short supply. Japan and Germany have heavily automated their industry for this reason, and China seems to be on this track.
Apart from the labour shortage, a gradually declining population is a good thing. The earth can only give us so many resources, and unless we reduce our numbers - particularly among the rich - we are headed towards extinction.

We have had very smart people working on climate change models for decades and no one ever looked into that?
The problem isn’t that no one has looked into it. The problem - and this is a general one for any scientist working in climate change or environmental protection - is that we can’t afford to raise a single false alarm. We can’t publish bad news unless we’re 100% certain, because that will give oil companies’ lawyers and ‘journalists’ enough ammo for the next fifty years. This means that published climate predictions are usually the most optimistic and conservative estimates.
At this point, when someone says they are ‘against Israel’, what they mean is that they are against the genocide the Israeli army is carrying out in Gaza. Maybe there are some who want the country itself toppled - neo-Nazis, for example, or those detached from reality - but they are a small minority (outside of Iran, perhaps).
If it is peace that the Israeli politicians want, why do they fund Hamas?
Also, ever wondered where Hamas - living in a place under such a strict embargo that people don’t have enough food to eat - gets the explosives for its rockets?
This meme isn’t about you (hopefully). Not everything is about you or your fellows. If this meme triggers you, there’s something seriously wrong with you. I hope you are just a snowflake, because the alternative is a lot worse.
Pythons do attack children, although a grown woman is probably safe. Many small venomous snakes are attracted to the warmth of sleeping humans, and don’t take too kindly to the human rolling over / swatting at them in their sleep.
A hungry bear is able to sniff, track and actively hunt you.
The vast majority of bear attacks occur when the human either accidentally ambushes the bear, or goes near a bear cub. Afaik only male polar bears hunt humans, and they do it extremely rarely, only as a last resort.
