One problem with most of India is that while their "average" yearly rainfall looks good? It mostly falls in 3-4 months then is very dry for the rest of the year.
So the runoff during the Monsoons is relatively clean, by volume & anyhow. Then the rest of the time it looks like that: 80% untreated shit.
Indians like to shit on their own "sacred river"? Imagine how respectful they are of the customs of other nations & cultures. Hint: you have to imagine it since it doesn't exist. Like the square root of -1, eh?
I recall a docco on the Ganges & the effort to clean it up. Around 20~ odd years back they launched a huge project to put waste treatment sites all up & down the river. They did, mostly, but then didn't follow up.
There was a brief time where the Ganges was "cleaner" but still bad. Then even by the time the docco was made it was rapidly getting worse again.
I was reminded of it because they spent a lot of time in Kanpur. The tanning industry is massive! And the waste is grotesque at best, deadly at worst. MOST of it goes straight into the river, no treatment at all. They tracked waste from one small tannery to prove this. The tannery people claimed they had no idea, they thought (they said) it went to the new waste treatment plant :/ The amount of waste that one small place produced was staggering. Rotten fat was the bulk of it, it apparently has a "unique odor" which is "unforgettable".
I remember Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" episode where he visits a tannery in America. It probably was about the same size as the one in India, but produced a tiny fraction of the waste & that stuff was NOT pumped into the sewers but sent for treatment by truck, or to an incinerator. He said it was one of the worst jobs he'd experienced.
Since they shit on the streets as a normal thing? Yes that's a lot of it. But they also discharge sewage waste straight into the nearest river, which goes into the major rivers soon.
2 decades or so ago they launched a big effort to clean up the Ganges. Like this fellow said. But it stalled and since then the population has skyrocketed, concentrated in the big cities where they produce the most waste.
This is something we Skeptics have known since the very beginning.
IPCC isn't a neutral entity. It was created to sell the public that AGW is real. AGW theory says humans are 100% responsible for all warming since... some ever-changing date, usually 1850. Sometimes 1880, 1900 or 1950 or 1980 even.
But their reports are generally proper analysis of other scientific reports which may or may not be credible.
The trick is: the in-depth analysis is scientific, they use accurate terms like "unlikely" or "highly unlikely" which have specific % chances attached to them. "Lowest confidence" iirc is the last step before "no way Jose" and represents around 2%.
BUT when the "summary" of the report is given? The Overview? It makes it sound like these low chances are MUCH higher because non-scientific language is used on purpose to obfuscate their findings. So a 7% chance ("low confidence" iirc) suddenly becomes "could happen" or "is predicted to happen" which sounds like a high % chance. Maybe even over 50%... to the idiot Alarmists, "journalists" and Leftists who refuse to hear anything but their own dogma.
In a case of domestic violence? The cops have NO discretion in most places. The violent one get taken to jail, period. If they're mutually violent they probably both go.
That guy is an animal, she's got "battered wife syndrome". And she's dumb.
Then she confesses to violence too? But there's no physical evidence he was harmed so she doesn't go. Edit: And then she does go because she's an idiot.

Lots of content here, almost all of them funny to some degree.
Which one's your favorite? Babylon Bee has several offerings, and they're really funny & thoughtful, as always!

So the theory is... makes sense.
The three seashells? (3 memes featuring seashells, eh?)
200+ Americans shot since Iran war started? (In Chicago)

Or the Homer Simpson one? That's a good'un too.

See all those bottles of booze? They're not "faggots" they're just drunk. 😜
Plus a "fraternal kiss" was far more common, especially for Europeans, back in the day.
Not that there weren't "gay soldiers" since, duh, there were. 5% of the population, eh? (+/- 1 including Bi-) But mostly they got weeded out before going overseas, or they were sent to the Navy.
National suicide in real time! Now playing in:
Canada
Australia
UK (all of it)
South Africa (for different reasons)
What the hell is wrong with Commonwealth nations? We had it so good for so long we forgot HOW we got all that prosperity & safety. Rule with an iron fist.
H for hospital, down for death :>
Speaking of slicing wrists? A friend (long ago) was in Papua New Guinea' VERY remote coastal jungle area (where the cannibals used to live) when he hacked his wrist with an axe. A Catholic Nun stitched up his tendons & wound (no anesthetic) & his friends carried him over mountains & valleys for 2 full days (he immediately got a fever) to the nearest village with a doctor. His scar is... remarkable! But he retained 90% use of his hand due to that Nun's expert stitching. It was a 45 degree cut :/
1 rape-gang down, 99 to go! It only took them what? 10 years?
A few years back someone looked up the latest 100 persons in UK convicted of child-sex crimes. 88 of them had obviously Muslim names. There were 7 women on the list too, 5 with Muslim names. He linked the Gov't site, it was legit.
It can only have gotten worse since then.
No liberal-run city (which is almost all of them, even in Red states) actually wants to "solve the homeless problem" because there's so much juicy graft & corruption to be milked off of it.
Actually? If you have blood pressure or arterial problems? The "knee crossing" is much better for you :/
It all goes back to the cavemen. Cavegirls would be aware of their community, cavemen were busy getting food & water & other "brute force" jobs. Working hard every day. So if there was something extra that needed working on? Women would likely notice it first & get the men to do that. Because that's how to get cave-poontang!
Correct. The reason is: a stable & safe environment to get pregnant in. Pregnant humans are practically helpless, they cannot survive without support. Family, community and most importantly: the baby-father! That's what evolution has brought us, naturally.
So modern feminists naturally seek a safe & stable environment with strong men to protect them... at the same time they're told to drive strong men AWAY from themselves. Then comes the "taboo sex is best sex" and we get werewolf p0rn for girls 😝
It is due to cold winters. Most foreigners stay well clear of us after experiencing a January & February 😋 That's why Vancouver & Toronto are so popular with immigrants, mostly stable weather.
We in Manitoba have a joke: Even folks in North Dakota say "Move to Manitoba? Are you nuts? It's COLD up there!" 😀
Rape is VERY prevalent in their "culture" but somehow they don't train their kids to, you know, NOT talk to strangers.
It's weird. They want their kids to grow up care-free and cheerful, but leave them wide-open to predators :/ As soon as the girls hit a certain age though? They clamp them down & isolate them. Boys get away with being brats right up to their mid-teens.
It also has infinite fuel. Breeder Reactors can turn spent fuel rod material into good-as-new material. Quickly (in comparison to mining it) safely AND generates electricity while doing so.
You are correct! Like most leftist "plans" if it ever fixed the problem? They'd be out of work 🙀 so the "fix" is always more money to repeat the same failed policies.
