Interesting read.

Even without the saltwater problem, drinking from the end of the Ganges sounds pretty bad considering how polluted that river is.

I have a hard time understanding the mentality of people having kids while complaining, there's not enough fresh water.

I suppose it's good that most of the local water supply here in ca comes from mountain snowpack melts.

    That's entirely subjective and up to you, however, I feel like I should point out we're dealing with our own erosion of democracy issues in the United States as well.

    Trump is undoubtedly bad for the US, like a brexit that only lasts 4 years, (hopefully.) He destroys our international credibility and will leave an indelible scar on our international relationships.

    However, this statement doesn't make sense:

    I like Trump, Biden's gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.

    Trump will give Israel a blank check, and he'll probably want to push the missile launch buttons himself if given the opportunity. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

    Oh, I forgor, the United Nations is Hamas now.

    Oh no don't forgor. They're not Hamas but they do exhibit significant anti-Israel bias.

    Three countries were on said commission of inquiry:

    Navi Pillay (South Africa), serves as chair, Miloon Kothari (India) and Chris Sidoti (Australia) serve as members of the commission

    Many more opposed their methods and conclusions:

    June 2023, United States and Israel joined 25 countries in condemning the open-ended nature of the UN investigation and "the long-standing disproportionate attention given to Israel in the council."

    But that's the UN for you, lots of scrutiny and condemnation of Israel, not a peep when Jews are ethnically cleansed from neighboring countries.
