Oh yeah this Guy is gonna get beat up. Watch him play the transphobic/hate crime card when it’ll happen

Oooh such a beautiful void. Looks like lots of love and mischief ;P

That just sounds like a ploty to get more pics !

Edit: You can actually see my reflection in his left eye in both pics.

He once tried to rule the streets, but came back home when he couldn’t handle it anymore. So now he’s a lil’ house gangsta

It’s a vanity collar made for cats. It is actually lighter than the “normal” collar he had before.

Hey thanks for worrying for my boy. The collar is very loose, and he knows how to get out of it and can very easily. But he never goes outside since his brother was killed by a fox.

Royalty deserves bling!

Lol that’s just my boy. Took the picture with my phone camera that’s it.

In an attempt to curb the spiralling and lucrative kidnapping industry, a law was enacted in 2022 making it a crime to make ransom payments. It carries a jail sentence of at least 15 years, however no-one has ever been arrested on those charges.>

Ah yes! The good old turn the victims of a crime into criminals to stop the other criminals from perpetrating the crime. Seems to me like a winning solution!

“Earlier this month Victorian police revealed the 26-year-old childcare worker had been charged with more than 70 offences relating to eight alleged victims, aged between five months and two years old.”

“Approximately 2,600 families with children who attended the centres were contacted, with 1,200 advised to undergo screening for sexually transmitted infections.”

This piece of trash deserves a slow and painful death in a rotted jail cell. I work with kids, and I would completely loose it if I learnt that one of my colleagues had done anything remotely sexually inappropriate. I just don’t understand how could they get away with it for so long! I just want to yell, and cry. I can’t imagine what all those parents are going through right now…

Absolutely disgusting… Completely biased and clearly racist test. Fucking fascists everywhere…

A group of money driven, greenwashing investors dropped any pretences of environmental convictions as soon as their potential capital gains might get negatively affected.

Money driven people never cared, care or will care about the greater good.

How dare you insult and defile the pussy with that hideous human turd! He’s probably well over 100 courics!

Yes of sure!

At the moment, the vast majority of rice production is done by flooding the rice fields, and keeping them flooded in standing water for the entire life cycle of the rice. It is done this way because rice is a semi-aquatic plant so it feeds it massive demand of water, protects it against infections, and stops weeds from growing. This way of growing rice ends up emitting massive amounts of methane due to microbes feeding on organic matter as the oxygen levels diminishes in the standing water.

The two main alternatives that have been tried, and are already used are AWD and Furrow Irrigation

AWD (Alternate Wetting and Drying). It still involves flooding the fields, but instead of keeping it flooded, farmers would drain it a few times per season. They would flood the fields to about 5-7cm (2-3 inches) above the soil, and let the water drop to 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) under the surface of the soil. Doing only one of this cycle per season could reduce methane emissions by around 35%. Doing it 3 or 4 times could reduce methane emissions by more than 50%. A farm in Arkansas at which this has been tried has show that they could reduce emissions by over 60%. This method, while very promising and efficient, is quite difficult to implement in Asia where rice has been domesticated thousands (around 9000) of years ago, and the method of cultivation has seen very little change. It would also be very difficult to implement in mountainous regions where farms are interconnected in steps. Moreover, the rainy season of southeast Asia makes it near impossible as the fields stay flooded even if the farmers stop irrigating the crops.

Furrow irrigation involves planting the rice in rows of dirt mounds, and flooding the channels in between the rows. This allows oxygen in the soil and, in return, reduce the emissions by limiting the decomposition of organic matter. This method is already popular in parts of the U.S.A. where farmers rotate rice and soy crops. Furrow irrigation would also be much easier to implement in mountainous regions than AWD.

In addition to water management, straw management is an other effective strategy. The food the microbes feed on is the straw left by the previous harvest. One way of doing this is to burn the leftover straw (least labor intensive, fastest, cheapest way), but it impacts air-quality significantly, and thus, has non-negligible health consequences. The better options would be to physically remove the straw, but it is much more labor intensive, and thus more expensive. But the straw can be sold to mushroom farmers as a growing medium for the fungi. This could also create work as straw balers would be needed. Straw can actually also be used to create a biodegradable alternative to single-use plastic.

There are a few other options like switching to higher-yields varieties of rice, different soil additives, and using other types (usually more expensive) of fertilizers.

If you are really interested in learning more, these two studies are really interesting, and offer many different water and straw management techniques.

Reduce production and consumption of red meat.

Alternatives to cattle feed. (i.e. seaweed)

Better waste management for farms.

Alternatives to rice fields flooding.

Incentives for waste management at the consumer level (laws for restaurants, hotels, and individuals for composting)

Better composting infrastructures.

None of this is hard if we had politicians that weren’t sold to big corporations, and if our governments would build programs to better educate consumers and producers.

Fuck that story makes me so sad and angry! I hope all those pieces of human garbage get what they deserve in prison!
