An Indonesian dude called Sadiman has turned barren and arid hills green through his 24-year personal reforestation project. People called him a madman but his efforts helped lots of people.
EDIT: there are actually many stories about one or two people restoring forests, or turning deserts into lush, green places.

You mean the one that states that Neanderthals were a bunch of scary Gorilla-like monsters? No, there isn't. https://outwardbounder.wordpress.com/201...re-stupid/ https://blog.waikato.ac.nz/bioblog/2010/...es-this-o/ https://www.filthymonkeymen.com/2015/05/...ed-humans/

WhatsApp sues India govt, says new media rules mean end to privacy
WhatsApp/Facebook is fighting FOR privacy? It's official, hell froze over. Neanderthals carb loaded, helping grow their big brains (To quote the title from the Reddit post: A “groundbreaking” new study suggests the ancestors of both humans and Neanderthals were cooking lots of starchy foods at least 600,000 years ago. And they had already adapted to eating more starchy plants long before the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago) Microsoft is finally retiring Internet Explorer in 2022 (Internet Explorer will no longer be supported in June 2022) 'I Will Destroy You': Chechen Leader Threatens Kid On Instagram Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Wrote:Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov used his Instagram account to threaten a person who called him "Satan" during a live broadcast, saying, "You won't sleep at night.

Bashar al Assad won the Syrian elections and was reelected for a fourth time.
Opinion: The ‘open secret’ of sexual abuse in Venezuela’s famous youth orchestra program is finally exposed This is seriously fucked up. John Cena called Taiwan a country during a promotional interview for The Fast and Furious 9. Controversy ensued. John Cena apologized to the people of China. People are mocking John Cena for this.

It was an EX-Prime Minister who did it, not the current one. The name of that EX-PM is Huseybala Miralamov. The current Azerbaijan hasn't been involved in any sexual scandals.

Greece-Born Adoptees Seek Justice
So Canada is planning to make online hate speech a crime punishable by law. Bills C-10 and C-36. It should be noted that the Canadian parliament just wrapped up for their summer break and won't resume until September, so everything proposed so far is still only proposed and not yet enforceable. You're probably asking yourself: "Why are so many people worried about this? It's only hate". The problem is this will be extremely easy to redefine - and even true statements can still be "hate" which means this can totally be used to win arguements. https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-cs...6/index.do# "Truthful statements can be presented in a manner that would meet the definition of hate speech, and not all truthful statements must be free from restriction." So yeah, there is a reason to be worried. U.S.A Government Threatens Retired Engineer With a Crime for Doing Math Institute for Justice Wrote:Wayne Nutt is an engineer. He graduated with a degree in engineering from the University of Iowa in 1967, and he promptly went to work as an engineer. He spent most of his time working in North Carolina, mostly for DuPont, using his expertise to do things like designing piping systems and helping with international technology licensing. Since his retirement in 2013, Wayne has not done any engineering—he hasn’t designed or built things—but he is still an engineer at heart, and so he talks about engineering a lot: When he spots math errors in public documents, he speaks up. When he thinks people are mischaracterizing engineering reports, he speaks out. And when he can answer a question that he thinks is important, he answers it. |
