I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let's discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • Do you avoid every kind of nature swimming? What if the tests say that it is as clean as the river or sea you trusted to swim before?

  • I think it's mediagenic enough that journalists and other organizations probably tried to do their own tests and found nothing suspicious that wasn't officially announced.

    By the Olympic Games 2024, the work to improve the infrastructure to prevent pollution already costed 1.4 billions of euros. I guess additional infrastructure for exceptional meteorological events was just too much to be justified.

    If the water is tested every day of the opened swimming season, there's no reason to worry.

  • It's controlled every day and closed if there's any danger, for example after heavy rains bringing more pollution than usual. They have started finding different forms of life that only happen in very clean waters, it's pretty cool. One of the few positive ecological news lately.

  • From a scientific point of view this is correct, the climate system is too complex to say this particular event is due to climate change. Exceptional events happened in the past too. What's solid science is the increasing averages, increasing frequencies of extreme events etc. If it was scientifically informed, that's what this kind of sentence mean.

  • Whether an actor should be a half-billionaire is up for debate but if anyone should have that kind of money yes it’s artists, sportsball players, etc.

    Why would it be more fair for them than CEOs? I'm not defending this one but asking in general.

  • Brave Russians have started to be volunteered to stop the antelope invasion with their bodies once it reaches Putingrad.

  • Yeah, the debates seems to be mostly people questioning if it is war crimes or genocide, different experts and different organizations have different conclusions, although it seems more conclusions are shifting towards genocide.

  • I don't think anyone slightly left will ever be happy with a Pope's social policies because they are inevitably decades or centuries late to adjust to society. Francis started to open on welcoming homosexuals in the church, but he still said it's a sin because any sex outside of mariage is a sin, and gay mariage is not allowed by the church.
    Maybe Leo will make some new timid move like "maybe it's not a sin after all, gotta think about it" but nothing revolutionary will happen.
    Progressists as defined on Lemmy will never be elected pope.
