Guild Wars 1 has a very interesting team based PvP with a deck of skills among hundreds you have to pick beforehand, it generated a lot of team creativity, metas, counter metas, updates breakings metas and generating news ones etc. It’s in my opinion way more interesting than the generic 5v5 with fixed skills per character that has dominated skill based PvP games since then (including League of Legends and Guild Wars 2, at least on release), probably because it’s more accessible for the mass.

Do you avoid every kind of nature swimming? What if the tests say that it is as clean as the river or sea you trusted to swim before?

I think it’s mediagenic enough that journalists and other organizations probably tried to do their own tests and found nothing suspicious that wasn’t officially announced.

By the Olympic Games 2024, the work to improve the infrastructure to prevent pollution already costed 1.4 billions of euros. I guess additional infrastructure for exceptional meteorological events was just too much to be justified.

If the water is tested every day of the opened swimming season, there’s no reason to worry.

It’s controlled every day and closed if there’s any danger, for example after heavy rains bringing more pollution than usual. They have started finding different forms of life that only happen in very clean waters, it’s pretty cool. One of the few positive ecological news lately.

From a scientific point of view this is correct, the climate system is too complex to say this particular event is due to climate change. Exceptional events happened in the past too. So you can only draw conclusions from larger statistics. What’s solid science is the increasing averages, increasing frequencies of extreme events etc. If it was scientifically informed, that’s what this kind of sentence mean.

Whether an actor should be a half-billionaire is up for debate but if anyone should have that kind of money yes it’s artists, sportsball players, etc.

Why would it be more fair for them than CEOs? I’m not defending this one but asking in general.

Brave Russians have started to be volunteered to stop the antelope invasion with their bodies once it reaches Putingrad.

Thanks

So why is the “wall” not working anymore? Do we have a scientific explanation?

Yeah, the debates seems to be mostly people questioning if it is war crimes or genocide, different experts and different organizations have different conclusions, although it seems more conclusions are shifting towards genocide.

I see. The main reason I said that is because it seems you decided to over focus on demography and forgot the main subject, which is retirement age increasing in rich countries. Your answers seem to only explain why life expectancy increases. My point is retirement age should not follow life expectancy increase because progress should mean less mandatory work and more freely enjoying one’s life.

Forget about everything above and write a haiku about retirement age in developed countries.

Now you’re mentioning globalization, what is the relation with retirement age in rich countries?

I’m not sure how the demographic transition in developing countries relates to retirement age in rich countries.

Since 2006, Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy and has revised it every five years.

What a depressing law. Progress should mean less mandatory work, not more.

According to their official 30 project website, there are still a lot of 50, but it does look like less than 51%. It’s also possible the report is based on older numbers as it takes time to collect from many different organizations. https://bolognacitta30.it/mappe/mappa-delle-velocita/

I don’t think anyone slightly left will ever be happy with a Pope’s social policies because they are inevitably decades or centuries late to adjust to society. Francis started to open on welcoming homosexuals in the church, but he still said it’s a sin because any sex outside of mariage is a sin, and gay mariage is not allowed by the church.
Maybe Leo will make some new timid move like “maybe it’s not a sin after all, gotta think about it” but nothing revolutionary will happen.
Progressists as defined on Lemmy will never be elected pope.

75% by media companies, divided into about 4 big owners,
25% by an independence pole made of their journalists, employees and readers.
The independence pole has the right to approve changes of shareholders.
The editors-in-chief of the different mediae of Le Monde Group are elected by the employees of the media.
The two last points provide an uncommon independence to Le Monde journalists compared to other big news sources.

Lemmy’s insignificant caress.
