To me, this sounds like "what is the point in climbing a single step if there is a whole flight of stairs?" You cannot climb stairs without first climbing a single step.

Are you saying that since there are so many murderers, we shouldn't even attempt to hold anyone accountable at all?

Reply to comment by theedgeofoblivious in Researchers has found a link in sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A study found sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. by Wagamaga
I think it is both, as someone who sometimes suffers from insomnia, the depression comes after the sleep disruption, not before, however, I can also see how depression can also cause sleep disruption, especially if coupled with feelings of 'new day dread'. I don't know if there is an actual word for this feeling, but it's one of hopelessness, and not going to sleep is a way to stop yourself from feeling it.

Reply to comment by SmartFC in Xi calls for unity as China enters new phase of COVID policy by Smithy2232
Additionally, they were too heavy handed with the lockdowns initially, and the dystopian vibe reverberated as drones flew past people's windows reminding them to suppress their desire for freedom. This overly authoritarian execution directly lead to the disintegration of public discourse regarding covid policy.
If they would have instead had a bit more relaxed lockdown policy, but imported vaccines that were proven effective, they wouldn't be in the situation they are in now. Xi was too proud to do what was best for the country, and instead chose the path that maximized his control over the population.

I would argue a power outage is the best time to lube switches. What else are you going to do?

I was wondering if this is a localization issue. People who have swapped commas and decimals have screwed up prices all the time. I think in one instance it broke the calculator on a pokemon game.

I personally would rather have the stretchy jeans for comfort though. I switched over a few years ago, now regular denim feels like my legs are binded together. They absolutely don't last as long though.

Grass is the most successful plant on the planet. Grass has seeds. Those seeds can be crushed and mixed with water and cooked for cheap and easy food.

Reply to comment by sodo9987 in Brazil's electoral court rejects Bolsonaro election challenge by vitorgrs
I don't agree. If the court is fining people for bad faith in bad faith, the issue is much deeper than that single rule, and is neither caused nor leveraged in it's pursuit. Bad faith is bad faith, and should be punished. Arguing it could be used in bad faith is, quite frankly, an argument so weak it is actually hilarious.

Reply to Formation of Namibia’s fairy circles isn’t due to termites. Plants are "ecosystem engineers" that survive by forming optimal geometric patterns. by marketrent
Basically, they collectively 'decide'(chemically) not to grow in those circles, which allows moisture to collect. It allows for the overly scarce resource to be evenly distributed, which allows for a greater population than if they did not cooperate at all.

I always wondered why they didn't classify ducks as fish, but if they had barnacle geese already, why push it?
And before you say "ducks aren't fish, that's ridiculous", they classified beavers as fish...
