Language changes over time. Nothing to get worked up about

Removed, crime posts require proof

>And it seems like many people want him to "promote peace" by arming Ukraine. No, that's not how you promote peace.

Yes it is. Allowing them to defend themselves and push the invaders back is the only way to a lasting peace.

Capitulation to Russia is not peace

That doesn't change the fact that Germany is requesting.

You said right here that there is no conflict

Plus, it is regional as the Amazon basin spans multiple counties and Lula has said the region needs to work together on this

Germany is also asking Brazil for help so its like they kinda agree with my pov

It not need to be state actors to be a conflict.

Lots of weapons on both sides. Tribes at risk of being wiped out.

Sounds like a conflict to me.

I agree Brazil should focus/take the lead on the Amazon just like Europe should focus/ take the lead in Ukraine.

But this isn't about focus or leadership, no one is asking Lula for that in Ukraine. They are simply asking for assistance like Brazil is asking from Europe

The fight for the Amazon is a regional conflict.

He wants help from Europe but isn't willing to help Europe. Which is not only hypocrisy but short sighted.

The Ukraine War has major ripples that negatively impact Brazilians. Just like deforestation in the Amazon has ripple effects that negatively impact Europe.

Having lived in brewerytown for years, it is hard but blocking the whole street isn't acceptable.

People need to do better

Yet lula wants Europe to fund his regional conflict

Homicide in the city has recently pivoted to social media beefs vs the drug game

Lula said he was getting brazil back in the world stage abs closer to Russia to end hunger and promote peace.

Yet Russia is the invader who blocked grain exports.

His position is nonsensical.

Let them eat cupcakes

Except Brazil aligns with imperialist Russia. They might not be sending equipment but the economic alliance fuels the war.

But you're still saying something with absolutely no evidence to back it up.

Hence "people can say anything "

>For the record, I'm pissed about all those deaths.

Same. I was a bike commuter before the pandemic and have been threatened by drivers for taking up a full lane and have been "doored"

I'm very much for safer driving, riding, walking but the data I've seen doesn't support the OP'S assertion

I mean people can say whatever they want but that's not what OP Said

Injury data is much less reliable than deaths due to a lack of reporting on injuries.

Deaths are a much more reliable statistic because reporting is much higher.

I'm willing to look at data on injuries if you have some but given Homicides are 4x traffic deaths, the injury stats would need to heavily lean to traffic injuries for OP's claim to hold water

>We talk plenty in this sub about traditional crime/violence (homicide, assault, robbery, etc), however, you are most likely (by far) to be killed or injured by a vehicle than anything else in this city.

How did you calculate that?

I looked at 2021

Vehicular deaths are 121

https://www.axios.com/local/philadelphia/2022/10/07/philadelphia-traffic-deaths-2021

Homicide was 562

You shouldn't need to ask to use the street!

Seems like they start up in April but isn't yet updated for 2023

SEPTA shouldn't be responsible for homelessness so that responsibility should shift

There's also used places like Uhuru and ReStore.

I was surprised how well this setting works but it is really good.
