Most phones should have a setting to stop charging at 80%. My last 3 phones did at least.

You can very easily test this with 2 bananas next to each other


I think they were not referring to the graph butto current politics


The headline and graph are pretty misleading imo. The declining projection seems to indicate some kind of regression. Those are yearly emissions though. As soon as we use up earths CO2-budget, which is pretty soon, everything above 0 will have devastating consequences and they will worsen with every single day that the graph stays above 0. The headline stating “progress made” is also misleading in the way that it makes it seem as if we are somehow weakening climate change, but its just that we are accelerating climate change at a slightly lower rate than predicted. Also, if we take into consideration the predicted consequences of those enormous (predicted) emissions and compare them to current predicted consequences of the much lower emissions, we are still worse off than we thought we were. Its highly likely that we still underestimate the consequences of climate change.


Interesting. Thats not the story I heard/read but Ill take a look again.
But yes, Im sure I also have “racist” or problematic terms in my vocabulary without knowing about them.
Nobody knows what magnets are. Except this guy.


Not sure where youre going with your immature accusations and name calling. I can understand that you are angry, but maybe you should direct your anger at the people who deserve it instead of a neutral piece of information.
I never called anyone racist or accused them of anything and it hurts me that you keep putting words into my mouth and accusing me of ill intent when I didnt have any. I shared an info that someone once shared with me which I was thankful for, I wanted to do the same. Sorry it offended you so badly.


I wouldnt say that it has no meaning anymore. Maybe not for you and many others, but weed still has a bad reputation with a lot of people and Im sure if you ask older folks some will tell you the Mexicans brought the devils lettuce to the US.
Be that as it may, some people (like me) just dont like using words that were invented purely as a tool for racist propaganda. Why are so many of you so invested in making me stop informing people about this? I would not have wanted the person who told me first to just shut up about it because others convinced them its not worth pointing out.


I never said you specifically should not use it. I said I dont see the need. And if others who read this also feel the same way, they might make the decision to stop using it. It amazes me how defensive people got, it was not my intention at all to make people feel bad. I just wanted to get the info out. Kind of feels like when people get mad at the sentence “I dont eat meat”. Like “How can you be so condescending”, “Why do you force your ideals on us”.
Its a bit funny that all of you keep accusing me of “dividing people into camps” and “starting useless discussions”, while all I wrote was a neutral piece of information which could have stood on its own. The answers though, I feel like theyre very much trying to divide people into camps.


Youre right, its not the same kind of term. Its the same argument though, thats what I said.
what good do you POSSIBLY expect to come from educating people about this?
Not sure if youre serious about passing on knowledge being useless, but Ill bite. I am simply basing it off my own efforts to avoid using problematic language. I very much appreciate people telling me when I use words like that and why they are problematic, so that I can potentially avoid them in the future.
Let me ask you the same: What do you expect to gain from me not educating people about the origins of the term? From people still connecting crime to minorities through language invented by racists for propaganda?


Im not sure thats a better option. Dems ruled often enough and it never changed much. They are capitalists just as much, just less racist and narcissistic.
Sure, short term its the best option to prevent shitstains like Trump, but on the long run the Dems will fuck the population just as badly.


I honestly dont know what term you mean and I probably dont even know it, Im not a native English speaker.
But whats your point though? That racist terms are common? Im sure they are, but should that prevent people from trying to avoid them?


They dont necessarily have to become resigned, they could vote for a third party instead. Or just eat the rich.


On the other hand, if both parties piss everyone off then the needle doesn’t move as the parties lose support in equal measure.
Isnt this exactly what I said?


Which has nothing to do with math or my comment. Do you even have a point?


How so? Is the two party system engraved into your brain to the level that votes for two parties have to sum up to 100?


Literally not mad, just trying to inform. In my experience many people here make an effort not to use racist language, I at least would appreciate people telling me when I use such words without knowing.


Maybe this is actually good. If both parties keep behaving in the worst way possible for the population, maybe the US can finally rid itself from the two party system that keeps destroying the country.
Who am I kidding though, most people will keep voting for their party even when their house is literally set on fire by their representative. It will be something like 45/45 at best


I dont see a contradiction. Not everything a person says is meant to make other people do things. We are in a progressive bubble where I assume most people make an effort to not use racist language and when I see someone using it I inform them about it and however they use that information is up to them.
How would you suggest I reword it? English is not my first language and it didnt seem pushy to me.
I dont particularly watch out for charging before 20, most of the time I just charge it whenever, between 30 and 50 most of the time. Also most phones have a notification when going below 20. Its limiting, yes, but no need for micromanaging if you dont want to.
Anyway, everyone can do what feels right for them.
