It's hilarious that women think this is a behavior exclusive to men arguing with women. As if every man (a) knows exactly the sex of the other person on the internet and (b) only elevates his language when addressing a woman. People, not just men, do this all the time and a part of argument. It's a not a personal attack lady, get over yourself.
oh yes I saw some reports of "exceedingly high" redshift values. The current press explanation seems to be "the universe isn't just expanding, it's accelerating at a rate higher than previously thought!". Followed by mutterings about dark matter. Astronomy seems to be in a bad state right now, I wonder what the real explanation is.
science news and open source journals, jstfor, google.scholar etc. I usually start with google (blech) and then work through other search platforms like duckduckgo! before moving onto some open journals and scholar.google and so on.
I found this though, which is an interesting alternative hypothesis: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1001713023880
If environmentalism hadn't been reduced to whiney teenagers weeping about things that won't happen, that they don't understand, perhaps we would be more willing to pay attention when something important is being protested.
the conservatives in Poland didn't lose, per se. The previous ruling party still got the largest share of the vote, but a plurality of other parties had enough to form a coalition which can just barely form a government. This coaltion is made up of mutually exclusive parties who hate each other and they are already fighting, so don't expect anything to get done around here.
Plus the libertarian "we hate everything" party increased their share of the vote and is set to be king-maker for the coming 4 years if the ruling coalition doesn't implode withing the first year.
there is no flushing it out. It's a gene-therapy. You can no more flush it out than you can flush out the genes for brown hair.
Tell the doctor no. When she makes a scene, say no. One word is all that is needed. No. no, no no.
KO isn't left, they are however just as corrupt and evil as PiS. They're also EU-philes and lead by a former EU president. That's the real problem here. The actual leftist parties got much lower than 52%. More like 15%.
We have voter ID laws, and getting the right to vote takes more than 10 years. It took me 6 years to get my permanent residency permit and I will need an additional 5 to apply for citizenship--I'm not guaranteed a citizenship, but after 5 years I can apply. I was on the easiest immigration track, btw, since I have a Polish wife. Other immigrants have a much steeper climb than I did.
Poland is a parliamentary democracy, so the party members are obligated to vote in line with party (or they end up replaced).
Plus, PiS has been stacking the bureacracy and judiciary with their allies for the last 10 years which will slow down the new government quite a bit. And the Poles are not an immigration friendly people and the new government knows this. Any movement towards open borders will cost them the next election. Don't forget that even with a 73% turn-out, PiS still got 40% of the vote, more or less. They are not as unpopular as the youth here would like to think.
Sort of. PiS, the incumbent, got the largest share of the seats and a coalition will be necessary to prevent their forming a government. They, as Opposition, are still a force in government and the president (but not prime minister, if I understand things correctly) will be from PiS. The President has a Veto and the coalition will need 60% majority to overrule a majority. Furthermore, Confederation, a libertarian coalition which makes the only other conservative party also has a share of power and will help offset things.
Expect it to be complicated around here.
I have no clue which way this will go when it goes to the supreme court. Tusk and his minions haven't actually stacked the supreme court yet, but they sure will try.
