There’s a major problem with these in parts of India, where certain painkillers that are often administered to dying people for palliative care are toxic to the carrion birds that are supposed to consume them. So populations of the birds have been dwindling and many of these towers are full of decomposing corpses that are left to rot a lot more slowly.
Other than the fuel needed for the incinerator, I don’t see what’s wrong with plain old cremation.
A lot of America is truly that racist. Sometimes overt, but often subtle (e.g. "I don’t hate black people, but crime rates don’t lie).
There are pockets that are generally decent, but these are increasingly imperiled by growing external threats from the national government and bigots that feel empowered to act on its behalf.
I know that one of the Lemmy devs who is a tankie is also transphobic, so there’s that at least.
In case anyone is looking for a source for that claim:
Probably several years of education and/or practice
Well they’re sure not going to pay for it if it is.
The first part is short for my initials, (Zebra Ignatious Kavanaugh) the second part is for where I was born (Zambia, After Khristmas) and the 25 is for 2025, the year I was born.
That one’s impressive because they actually took footage of a real dog and edited it out so well, it doesn’t look like anything is amiss when Shrek is pasted over it.
It’s the way they dispose of grease, I believe. I think there are less regulations in the US than elsewhere. That or the minimum wage workers just don’t give a shit.
Yeah but closer to the eastern bloc you’re likely to hear the term “vatnik” used instead.
But if spend level for cast buff, less level spend for bonk.
All you need is bonk.
Sell the goods
Easy
send the money to Ukraine.
But we need EU approval 🥺👉👈 (immediately vetoed by Orban)
This presumes the USA needed to take any action at all.
THIS. 1000x this.
Recent events and events over the past few years indicated that the Iranian people were likely on the path of regime change anyways. Certainly not bloodlessly, but at least it would have followed the self-determination of the Iranian people. Now we just get to have another puppet government propped up by the US for oil.
And don’t forget the “president of peace” just started another war!
Hah, well your username may be more relevant than mine, at least!
Evil prevails when good people do nothing.
The US is full of many good people who feel they can do nothing.
I had that sort of thought myself not long ago. If Donald Trump just showed up in front of me out of the blue one day, would I try to kill him?
I don’t consider myself a radical or revolutionary. I’m not gunning to be the next big-name presidential assassin to appear in the history books. I’m just a normal, everyday person trying to get by, one day at a time.
But I think I would. I dunno. Maybe a lot of other normal people feel the same way.
So Austrians are from Tria?
