Flatulent Cows And Pigs Will Now Be Taxed In Denmark
  • Having just read it, it comes down to a CO2 tax on animals in general and not just cows and pigs.

    "En CO2-afgift på udledninger fra husdyr. Der indføres en afgift på 300 kroner per ton CO2 i 2030 stigende til 750 kroner per ton CO2 i 2035 med et bundfradrag på 60 procent. Den effektive afgift vil dermed udgøre 120 kroner per ton i 2030 stigende til 300 kroner per ton i 2035."

    Posted the actual Danish text in case someone wants to translate into their own native languages in case of specifics. I'm surprised the agricultural workers agreed to this.

  • For part two, we don't breed bison and elk in Denmark. Pigs and Cows are pretty much the only animals we breed that we also eat. We have sheeps too, but not in the same proportion.

    Greek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths, witnesses say
  • While I agree with your statement, there is also a difference in how awful we are, between allowing capsized vessels to just take their course and if we deliberately throw migrants overboard, as this post says is happening in Greece.

    Why Europe is lurching to the right
  • I think they meant that people do not see people left of the center looking to fix those issues, so it's not surprising that people vote for the right.

  • That means an average U.S. citizen uses 1,46 straws a day. What the fuck are you guys doing? Compare that to the U.K. where it's 0,18 by your own numbers.

    What is the most inspirational thing you saw or heard that changed your life?
  • "Never perfect. Perfection goal that changes. Never stops moving. Can chase, cannot catch."

    It's a video game quote but it helped me realise that there is always some aspect that can be changed for the better

    Energy efficiency of active travel (walking, cycling, ebike) compared to an electric car
  • Seeing the sights, feeling refreshed and invigorated

    Seeing the sights gets boring when you've done it more than a handful of times. And I'm not sure why, but I don't feel refreshed when I've been out on a bike ride due to the winds. They aren't strong, but they don't need to be when going 18/25.

    having a sense of accomplishment

    This argument is one I strongly despise cause arbitrary difficulty does not/should not give a sense of accomplishment. Take the bus instead and you'll have that same sense of accomplishment but waste only half the time. Or walk and spend twice the time and get it too.

    More Than Half the World Faces High Risk of Measles Outbreaks Following 'Big Gaps' in Immunizations, WHO Says
  • More than half the world? We talking population or countries?

    Seems like an awful lot, but I have no idea about vaccines in other countries. Also do you only need 1 vaccine against measles once in your life or does it require a 2nd one later in life?

    A boomer retirement bomb is about to blow up America's economy
  • Since I agree with you, I'm interested in your opinion of where a potential cut-off point would be. Say X% of people between the ages 18 and 25 get into a car crash yearly, when is it okay to assume that because you are between 18 and 25 you shouldn't be allowed to drive? Is it when X = 75, lower/higher or is there never a point for you and you'd still prefer to judge an individual?

  • I get what you are getting at but "misinterpretation of gender" can also happen in indie games and so can micro transactions. They are much more rare but they do still on occasion happen

  • The only issue I can think of is that when people reach that billion, they'll just close up shop cause why continue if your revenue is limited to your spending habits. I'd want the answer to that question to be "out of the goodness of my heart" or "to help people" but I sadly don't think a lot of them would do so
