You notice how whenever someone mentions the republicans doing something wrong, the go to response is always “yeah, but the dems aren’t perfect either and they’re doing the same thing!!!”

No one’s claiming they’re perfect except you?

Science shouldn’t be political, but only one party consistently votes against world wide scientific consensus.

Evolution, climate change, vaccines, basic virology. These shouldn’t be political issues, but one party understands and supports the science, and the other actively fights against the science.

Why not just tow the cars away? Charge the owner for the tow and for the ticket.

Use the money to fix the subway!

Edit: I just saw on the news they’re finally cracking down on ghost plates by towing them/ charging the owners/ sending the cars to auction, so I guess this is a totally plausible and enforceable plan that should pay for itself?

Reply to comment by Landonian in Positive childhood experiences of blue spaces and adult well-being. Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga

I know, I’m just trying to explain how colour theory is used; for example when we learned about green spaces, and we decided to paint a bunch of hospitals green and have doctors wear green scrubs, and we found that the benefits carry over.

I’m just trying to venture a guess that perhaps, in the same way the colour “green” might be connected with “green spaces”, the colour “blue” might have the same benefits, as “blue spaces” effects sound very similar to “green space” benefits, and I was only offering a evolutionary hypothesis as to why.

Oh I think it might just be that: water and the sky.

I don’t think it’s necessarily just children: working in an office with a window is far better than an office without a window.

If that window looks at the sky, the ocean, a forest, a field, a mountain, I imagine those things are all good “green” and/ or “blue” spaces.

If that window faces a brick wall, I bet it would be bad.

But I think the thing might be is that if they painted the brick wall blue or green, it might have the same partial benefit.

I mean, homosapiens have existed for 300,000 years, and we only started settling a down, farming, and living in cities 5000 years ago.

Maybe what’s healthiest for humans is the environment we evolved in for 98.5% of our existence: eating a varied diet, getting lots of light cardio, and being around lots of water, plants, and sunlight?

Yes, it’s very uncommon and a violation of human rights and international law.

> Although the CCP claims the stations are meant to keep an eye on ‘fraud and telecom fraud’ committed by citizens living aboard, the human rights group condemned the stations.

>Laura Harth, the Safeguard Defenders’ campaign manager, said it was shocking to learn that China was carrying out police operations in foreign countries.

>‘I think it shows how brazen the CCP is getting and how little regard they have for other governments,’ she told . ‘It’s in violation of international law, it’s in violation of territorial sovereign.’
