Can anyone eli5?

It’s sad that the commenter allows his children to go cyberpsycho on virtual bystanders but won’t allow them to see a nipple.

There is a reason the game has an age restriction.

Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.

And just as hitting several hookers in downtown los Santos with a virtual bolide won’t make you a deranged carkiller, being exposed to a booby won’t make you a sex-driven pervert.

You allow them to murder hundreds of virtual people or creatures, but sex is a bridge too far?

On driving factor is the (over)use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. It’s weird the article touches this issue in just one sentence…

“Over 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock, including cattle, which translates to significant human health impacts.”

“Unlike with human medicine, however, antibiotics are often fed to cattle as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment.”

“Antibiotic resistance in cattle does not only affect the health of the cattle, it impacts people as well because many of the antibiotics given to cattle are also used in human medicine. Eating meat or consuming milk from an animal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may infect a human with that same resistant bacteria”

Although good news, maybe do something about the fact that every minute 13 million dollar in subsidies is going to fossil fuels… In 2022 the total was 7 trillion, dwarfing the 1 trillion for renewables (globally)

And is a major cause of deforestation, biodiversity decline, antibiotic resistance, water pollution and water overuse, … And of course animal cruelty and abuse.

I’d figure those plastics wreak havoc in the long term in an individual life but won’t prevent people form reproducing and developing. It might be a serious setback but just a hurdle for humanity. Climate change, our nuclear arsenal, … pose more urgent threats.

Thx for the tip. What does this mod do?

After reading a book on Roman emperors I started playing Rome 2. Because of the problematic launch I never progressed far in the campaign. It seems the game was properly patched as I’m having a blast now.

I always enjoyed Rome TW, but it lacks some core game mechanics that Rome 2 does way better: political scheming, civil war, provinces, garrison, … I also loathed the anachronistic representation of certain cultures in Rome TW.

In short: even if it’s already 10 years old, I can’t recommend the game enough, certainly when you are a romanophile!

Oh yes the “bird cage”!

Thx for the clarification!!

Can someone eli5? I’m out of the loop and unfamiliar with superconductors…

The problem is not the amount of people but how much each individual consumes. Getting meat out of your diet is a simple and a small sacrifice. Besides the health benefits there is also the fact that you don’t contribute to the culling of 70 billion animals per year (of which 40% is probably not eaten and thrown in the trash). Not only that but you don’t contribute to the greatest cause of deforestation, antibiotics resistance, decline of biodiversity, water waste, …

Besides the global population is steadily stagnating (Africa is still booming) as a lot of countries see population decline (less than 2 children per woman).
