Does the G20 ever deliver results?
It’s good for leaders to get together and talk to each other. But expecting something concrete to come out of this seems silly. That’s not the point. The “declaration” will just be the usual “we agree to work together for the betterment of humanity” or some vague bullshit.

Alternate version: Chinese authorities save city from flooding by diverting the waters to less populated areas, saving lives and minimizing financial losses
“His father” in this summary refers to the father of one of the victims, not the father of the man accused of selling poison to suicidal people.
Food production is 35% of global greenhouse gases. Meat accounts for 60% of the emissions from food production. So yeah, if we cut global meat consumption in half it would absolutely make a dent.
Blaming the corporations is just a convenient way of putting the responsibility on somebody else. You can’t eat beef and then blame the farmer for the emissions caused by cattle production. You can’t drive a big truck and then blame the oil companies for the emissions. You can’t fly around the world and then blame the airlines. Corporations are selling stuff to people.

while it’s a dick move to erase him, “you can’t change history” is a poor argument when the only reason he’s considered a cofounder in the first place is because history was changed.
he died in 2013. his involvement with reddit ended officially in 2007, but even by his own admission he stopped any involvement with the company when it was acquired by conde nast - he was part of reddit for less than a year.
his death really doesn’t have anything to do with reddit’s current trajectory
i checked out three or four instances and this one seemed to have the least amount of bullshit to deal with
This is astoundingly good. Like, I didn’t know webapps could be this nice. It’s kind of amazing.
