my bag is raising a lot of questions already answered by my bag.

In South Asia, heat weaves already claim more than 200,000 lives annually. According to a recent study, as temperature rises, the death toll might exceed 400,000 by 2045. India is at high risk.

The study further reveals that over 200,000 deaths are currently attributed to severe temperatures, and this figure may nearly quadruple over the next twenty years.

With deaths increasing and governments lacking strategies to protect laborers from dying, vulnerable workers across South Asia are demanding their governments provide heat wave protections.

Ashok Kumar, forty-two, a migrant worker from India’s Bihar state, has been running a barber shop on a footpath with no roof in India’s national capital, New Delhi, where temperatures exceed to 46 degrees Celsius (114.8 degrees Fahrenheit). With no shaded resting area, Kumar spends nine hours a day in a scorching heat to support his family.

“Where shall I go? I have to feed my family. The government cannot install air conditioning at the roadside for us. We are dying under the blazing sun. We have no options. If we stop work, our families will die hungry,” Kumar told me. [...]

While knowing risk factors, many migrant laborers are unable to do much more than cover their heads with wet towels.

a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.

i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.

the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)

and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.

an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:

????? you mean one of the most normal and tame things most teenagers do????? I was watching hardcore porn, borderline snuff films on some shady sites my friend found, when I was like 10. 13 at most. probably 10, I don’t know. but I definitely shouldn’t be watching it. I did anyway. with all of my classmates. in our classroom at our school. and I was not traumatized.

when my friends and I were 16-17 we were doing way, way more extreme shit than that. teenagers at that age typically have sex and do drugs. I’m not “encouraging them” to do it by making this response. but it’s simply a fact that a whole lot of teenagers age 16-17 are out there having sex and getting high.

This also goes for buckwild problematic “unethical” fantasies. Arguably, you’re more likely to have things like ravishment fantasies when society is telling you not to have sex.

Meanwhile, anecdotally, a large number of people with fetishes report having their first fetishy thoughts well before puberty.

Being outrageously horny is a perfectly statistically average thing for a teen to be. Being curious about that horniness is objectively good and wonderful because that’s important to learn more about.
