Considering that Russia has had authoritarian governments for 500 years, they're actually very doing very well, in relative terms, with freedom, privacy, democracy, etc.
There are many good reasons to think that the dark matter hypothesis is on the right track. It provides many predictions that are borne out by observations, with a minimum of extrapolation from the properties of regular matter.
It's still a hypothesis.
There is no contradiction. I don't understand why people feel a need to disagree about it.
If by "development leadership" you mean people with 'manager' or 'leader' in their job title, then it is vastly overvalued (and overpaid) relative to the actual value it adds to the endeavour.
If in contrast you mean true leadership in the sense of motivating and inspiring those under your authority, then I guess I can't offer an opinion because I have never experienced actual leadership in any development job I have held.
If a person is deprived of a very large amount of savings, say an amount that exceeds the lifetime productivity of an average wage-earner, that crime should be put on the level of some lesser version of manslaughter. It's gone beyond theft at that point.
Politicians are simply being reward for having the 'right' beliefs. It's not about buying someone's vote once; it's a long-term investment. Lobbies know that it is not necessary to find someone willing to vote against their conscience - they find the politician who already *wants* to vote the 'right' way because they are ideological or misinformed or, in extreme cases, outright mentally ill, and shower that person with so much money that a reasonable or patriotic candidate can't compete. By the time that someone becomes a legislator anyone willing to defend their own constituents or even their country has long since been weeded out.

In Europe, land was scarce and owning land had social and legal significance.
In North America, there was more land than people knew what to do with.
Not everything, but no-one cared because many people didn't think the 1918 revolution was legitimate anyway.
Of course the apology is sincere.
Same as the prosecution and judge are sincerely committed to fairness, justice, and humane treatment of prisoners.
The last page has always been at war with Eurasia.
In other words, far more useful, sophisticated, user-friendly, and reliable than the average website.
You're saying you never 'see' anything when you're dreaming while asleep?
And before the air bag deploys in a crash, there will be a message asking "Are you sure?"

They found that that the effects predicted on the basis of analogy with material science were not measurable.
But then came general relativity, quantum fields, dark energy, etc., and we decided an empty vacuum wasn't actually empty after all.
"attending 12-step meetings does more than give an addict warm, fuzzy feelings."
"the human need for social interaction is a physiological one"
I'm sure there's some scientific value in quantifying the effect, but that's what people mean by "warm, fuzzy feelings" - it wasn't a mystery.
there's plenty of details of my personal life online
I never actually make any connection of that person with me.
So, is it your life, or an unrelated fictional life? Are you even clear yourself on the distinction?
Finally a post answering the question that was asked!
Yes, the Earth will adapt.
A particular human civilization may or may not adapt.
The essence of humo[u]r is surprise.
Surprise and fear.
The first one was good; for the others "joke" is an overstatement.
Yes.
How long do you want them to support it for?
Until they release a better product.

Just a guess, but it might not be
climate change -> violence
so much as:
climate change -> ecological disaster -> famine -> poverty -> desperation -> violence
Luckily in 20 years it will still be 30 years away, which will give us a little time.
Since the constitution no longer operates as legislation enforced by the courts, it is simply another paper.

This is merely another variation on the very old theme of humans needed more co-operation than their ancestors.
"Be sexually faithful or your children die" is a harsh bargain, but such are the stakes in evolutionary biology.
