A lot of people discuss this notion, and it's only rarely contextualized in terms of what's actually happening.
Methane is big. A huge greenhouse gas. It knocks the socks of carbon in all ways except that there's not that much of it(yet). It also doesn't "clean up" nearly as nicely after a couple of centuries of forest expansion/ocean calcification.
And a lot of evidence suggests warmer temperatures are going to release more big-time. It's scary because: we can't just stop producing it in bulk like CO2 the heat will release a lot of it naturally(and keep warming things). It's scary because: we have no (economically plausible) geo-engineering solutions like we might have to CO2. It's scary because geologic history suggests the runaways in the past last on the order of thousands of years.
I don't disagree with the assertions of rape culture. They seem founded in some pretty reasonable subjective observations, and also corroborated at least a little by interviews with incarcerated rapists, but it's hard to be objective about the way mental health evaluations can be.
Oh, and just to reinforce the fact that I did read the summary, the presence or absence of an attached PSA for a charitable organization makes no real difference.
Snuff films don't educate. We're all becoming a bit more desensitized to this kind of thing thanks to the internet, but there isn't actually anything to be learned from watching a man die.
It's against youtube's TOS(because they run a content censored site) and so they take it down. I don't tend to endorse censorship, but classes of censorship that the distributor is reasonably upfront about, and has a reasonable basis, I just can't muster that righteous anger the summary is exhorting.
True enough, but a huge majority of rape is acquaintance rape. I tend to avoid emphasizing stranger rape, because that's the stereotype that people already tend to over-focus on.
All INVENTIONS arising from (1) research conducted with University-administered funds, (2) work within the INVENTOR’S SCOPE OF EMPLOYMENT, or (3) the SUBSTANTIAL USE OF UNIVERSITY RESOURCES are owned by the University.
I guess the relevant thing is whether they used university facilities to develop their chemical. My guess is that they did.
Why do enough members of my own gender have to be such creepy bastards that we need something like this to be developed?
Well, it's not actually that complicated. There's a few common psychological threads that tend to unite serial rapists. Pyschopathy/sociopathy/anti-social personality disorder(whatever you feel like calling it) is one. People who just can't imagine another persons' perspective at all tend to be capable of some pretty shitty things for pretty stupid reasons.
Another is a flexible definition of rape. They tend to look for an excuse for why something "doesn't count" as rape. So they blame "mixed signals" or "unreasonable rejection" or "playing games" or similar kinds of behavior. People tend to be excellent rationalizes, and after the first rape, serial rapists tend to start finding any excuse.
(Oh, and don't mistake "serial rapists" for the common image of stranger violently raping women on the street, most serial rapists still engage in acquaintance rape. That's a pretty important distinction.)
It takes 2 seconds with your back turned to get a drink spiked. The level of responsibility you're demanding is beyond human. Unless you spend your entire night focusing on nothing but your beverage(which I gotta say, is worse than dunking your finger in your drink occasionally), that's not going to work.
I'm trying to come up with a way to point out that the world is fully of humans doing all sorts of awful things to each other, without it seem like condoning the date rapists as being "not so bad" or whatever.
I couldn't. Because there's something uniquely shitty about disabling and taking advantage of someone who's already going on a date with you. They went out of their way to spend time with you, and you just go "not good enough" and betray the hell out of them.
Actually, the fuel source could be expanding. One of the "neat" things about fission is breeder reactors. It's part of the concern with the status quo, because most older reactors are no good for expanding our fuel supply.
Oh, right, so your plan is to implement the (unreliable, which you'd know if you weren't a moron) HIV test across the entire population, in order to commit mass murder for the high crime of having caught a disease.
"our" methods have caused huge reductions in new infections. Your methods at work in places in subsaharan Africa(until recently at least) have led to ignorance, violence, and huge spikes in infections as people try to home remedy HIV away.
Because the incurable disease comes after the infectious period begins, numbnuts.
I'm sure you have magic moron powers that will let you detect people infected with HIV who don't yet have AIDS, but the rest of us depend on science and medicine to solve health problems.
Yeah, it's people who have AIDS that spread it, not people with asymptomatic HIV, right?
I mean, I get that you're just trying to be funny by being a shitty person, but could you pretend to be a shitty person who also isn't completely ignorant?

We really really really don't want this.

I said "at least for engineers" because I was an engineer, and that's how I got exposed to the policy. And I apologize for my factual errors.
Probably should, but not every policy ends up being just.
But I can tell from your attitude, you'll be outraged the moment trolls start posting the video with humorous audio editing.
And if you allow the video, that's exactly what will happen. Respect for the dead starts with not spreading their demise to every curious onlooker.

I think it might be that you respond this way when no one accused you of it.
Methinks the not-lady doth protest too much.
You have to sign over all inventions you create as undergrads to the university.
At least if you're an engineer.
The university was bitter about an undergrad project turning into a billion dollar company(SAS) and them not seeing a cut.
Subject verb agreement kills that parsing.

English is a naturally ambiguous language, and there are two gramatically correct parsings of that headline.
It's a bit like "fruit flies like a banana"
We have spent a ton of money on prevent education and detection. And it has done a lot of good.
Infections are way down.

What's "turnover"?
No, see, I'm a US Congressman, and the notion of an employee being replaced is confusing to me. It doesn't happen here.
Newsflash: humans use approximations when convenient for explaining something, and do not use strict definitions at all times.
Tenured professors at universities get their names on papers for less work than that.
Because the incurable disease comes after the infectious period begins, numbnuts.
