You seriously believe in Lamarck? Like, I don't know, I'm not a native speaker, maybe I'm missing something.

How many fucking times do we have to repeat this: TRAITS ACQUIRED DURING LIFETIME ARE NON-INHERITABLE

If you lose your fingers in an industrial accident, your children aren't going to be born fingerless, are they?

Giraffes don't have long necks because one little giraffe long, long ago tried really, really hard to grow a longer neck, but because giraffes who had been born with longer necks could compete better than those without, and pass on their genes. And they got those necks due to mutations.

Environmental pressure selects for benefitial mutations, while the mutations themselves are random. That's literally the mechanism of evolution through natural selection.

I'm sorry, is this somehow a revelation? "Direct heir" they say... There is a very good chance that "penal colony" is a former Gulag.

That's not the part I'm disagreeing with. It's generally agreed upon, that Tokyo Ghoul is absolute trash. The first season is passable, but everything after is just not worth the time. And even that passable first season is like 5/10 at best. It's an absolute disgrace of an adaptation seeing as the original is an 8-9/10 manga.

That's definitely an opinion on Tokyo Ghoul. In fact, one of the opinions of all time.

A: Read my comment again, it explains what happened, and what can be done to change this.

B: The situation described was under the previous government. They were (for all intents and purposes) the same as Republicans when it came to abortion.

The Polish society at large remains split (unfortunately), and the part that doesn't want legalisation of abortion is also most politically active in terms of voter mobilisation (i.e. they tend to move their asses on election days) and the moderate right (which is part of the current government) doesn't want to potentially alienate those voters.

Right now it seems that the best course of action will be a decriminalisation, and a return to the previous status quo: abortion is legal when the life of women is at stake. This would mean that while getting one wouldn't be illegal, Polish hospitals wouldn't give you one. Any liberalisation beyond that seems to be an issue for a national referendum, which the moderate right is neutral on (i.e. they would allow one to happen, and would not stop things if liberalisation won)

"The ruling government is admitting they don't have the money to fund the state media" say the people who carted out the funds from state media.

It's been two weeks. They've been in power for two weeks.

And you have to understand, this isn't caused by the right-wing passing some law, oh no, no... The Constitutional Court declared abortion unconstitutional. To change this, the new government needs to either change the constitution (requires a massive majority in Parliament), or completely rebuild the current justice system, replacing the CC justices responsible for that ruling (which will take a long time). Any attempt to do it with a simple act will get struck down by the right-wing in just the same way.

That is nothing to say about the fact that about a third of government coalition doesn't want complete legalisation, only a return to the old "compromise"

EDIT: And they did manage to do a lot in those two weeks so far, it's not like this is the only thing they promised to do.

Just so we're all on the same page:

THIS HAPPENED IN JULY.

Just in case anyone wants to pin the blame on the new government.

The controversy is theoretically still ongoing for this case, but on the down low, as just one part of the backlash against the restrictions put on abortions in Poland 3 years ago.

"- does not bring enough attention to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians commited by the State of Israel"

The summary got some things wrong.

It was Polish truck drivers, not farmers. They protested the fact that Ukrainian transport firms were allowed by the EU to operate on the European market without regular restrictions, which, in their opinion, gives Ukrainian drivers an unfair advantage, as not following the regulations allows them to offer lower prices than others.

This protest has been ongoing for a few weeks by now, but there has been no movement from the government, as it has begun in the middle of the post-election transition period, as the ruling coalition changed.

Some interpreted the inaction, as an attempt to dump the responsibility for this mess on the other side of the political divide, and the ability to meet the demands of the protesters is seen as an important test for the new coalition, especially in context of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Domestically, most agree that the interests of the domestic industry should be prioritised, but shouldn't be allowed to compromise the security situation of Ukraine, since they are fighting Russia, seen as the biggest geopolitical threat to Poland.

So the entire thing will be a delicate balancing act, of accounting for the well-being of domestic enterprises, the strategic and diplomatic interests of the state (i.e. helping Ukraine kick Russia's teeth in), and taking care of the problem as quickly as possible.

For context, the demands of Polish drivers include returning to the previous system of permissions and an audit of Ukrainian transport companies created after the escalation of conflict, however they do not want restrictions on transport of humanitarian aid and army supplies for Ukraine.

Italy?

I wonder if that might get the Catholics to condemn Israeli war crimes?
