Reply to comment by wild_psina_h093 in Uganda declares an end to Ebola outbreak by alphahydra

I feel this. It seems like it ended a long time ago but in reality news and media will cover something heavily in the first few days-months until something new comes along. I'm fairly certain ISIS is still up to no good and the Syrian civil war is also still ongoing but it's all about the Ukranian conflict now, a conflict which I think more or less started back in 2014.

It’s not just that easy. Money is a major issue for most to just up and leave.

We’re in a rental shortage in Australia. A pretty dire one actually. We got our current property on the back of a recommendation to the landlord from some family friends. There’re were only two other rentals going at that time in our closest town (9,000 residents).

I work a very specific job (caseworker for young offenders) and I’m able to have security here because there is a high demand for workers like myself in rural areas.

Last time we had a bushfire season even major cities were having runaway fires get fairly close to suburbia.

That’s what I thought but in 2019 Australia had 380 Mt of carbon emissions in total (not per capita).
China had just under 10 000 Mt and are on the way up because they’re industrialising.

I won’t just paste a heap of my own confirmation bias here lol but it’s just another frustrating detail about how our planet is getting the shit kicked out of it 😖

We definitely should’ve gone for the extended warranty back at the start
