RE: Appropriate Escalation - a Response to @beelzael
Yeah, it looks like the true argument is about preserving the privilege of playing pickleball. Seriously... And yes, those are exceptions. I know as many people who never had…

RE: Appropriate Escalation - a Response to @beelzael
It goes into the very deep question of "How much is one life worth?" - even though it wasn't intended. I'm pretty sure that the deaths weren't, but a consequence of the bias…

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
That's the counter argument - humanity is still here. Calculators didn't destroy it, and the economy is still prospering despite them! But society isn't. And no, that's not the…

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
It's an uphill battle against a downhill trend. @tarazkp (who might find this post interesting) writes about similar topics frequently, how there's a whole generation being…

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
This might seem unrelated but entertain me for a minute. This morning, I'm making myself some tea, watching some youtube vids of nerdy stuff to start up slowly. A nerd channel I…

RE: The Joy of Growing Milkweed and Monarch Butterflies
We have quite a bit of milkweed in our garden, and get a lot of those caterpillars, too - the milkweed reproduces, anyway. It's a beautiful cycle. Milkweed grows, procreates…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
Yes, that's absolutely true. But it might still be more efficient than funneling it through the greedy hands of corrupt officials. The dream of the efficient government is…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
Yes, that stuff happens unfortunately, it's one of the things that I always criticize - the argument put front for that is always the "community spirit", which is something that…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
It's not so much about where the money comes from, but to not ID the car in case of government repression and persecution afterwards. I have some friends who did that, and it was…

RE: Diesel to the fire / Diesel al fuego [ENG/ESP]
But that's exactly the point. The paro was always invoked each time after significant price hikes, not gradual ones. In 2018, Moreno did a 40% hike for only gasoline - nothing…

RE: Diesel to the fire / Diesel al fuego [ENG/ESP]
If I'm not mistaken, it was still a rise in 2022. In the other comment I left a few links to review. I didn't really get it 100% either, what was first, and what second, and what…

RE: Diesel to the fire / Diesel al fuego [ENG/ESP]
The rumors are always out there and will always be. That was after each paro. Here's an article that shows how Noboa did it with the Gasoline, and why it worked so well - they…

It seems obvious to me, although its one of the things one must not say, that this whole thing had special interests backing it. As you say... Indigenous people don't really…
