>Just look up when scientists expect the ocean to go extinct
Sure, I googled "when do scientists expect the ocean to go extinct" and got hits stating anything from 2050 to 2300.
In the future, just state your point and don't tell people to go googling for it.

No, it's down every now and then but most often I can access it with no problem! If you're in an American time zone, maybe there's more pressure.

Philosophically, the distinction between "determined by" and "can be reduced to" is related to the idea of determinism versus reductionism.
Determinism is the philosophical belief that all events, including human actions, are determined by previous causes and conditions, and thus are inevitable. In this context, "determined by" refers to the idea that the outcome of a certain event is fixed based on certain conditions or causes.
Reductionism, on the other hand, is the idea that complex phenomena can be explained in terms of simpler, more fundamental components. In this context, "can be reduced to" refers to the idea that a complex problem or concept can be simplified and understood in terms of its basic building blocks.
Semantically, the difference between "determined by" and "can be reduced to" is that "determined by" implies a fixed outcome, while "can be reduced to" implies a potential for simplification.
In conclusion, "determined by" and "can be reduced to" represent different philosophical and semantic perspectives on the nature of causality and the relationship between complexity and simplicity in the world. /ChatGPT

>There are some indigenous groups from Latin America that have functionally gone extinct either through excess intermixing with the colonizers who came to their land
You're kinda making it sound like those people claiming immigration leads to genocide simply by people becoming "excessively mixed".

You mean the Moscow Times are lying since they're independent, and glorious Russia isn't terror bombing?

It was undoubtedly pro-women relative to what people knew the Taliban stood for.

The issue is that if it becomes a clear NATO led attack on Russia it can very easily lead to nuclear doomsday. It has to be Ukrainians running it, and I don't think Ukraine has many long range missile capabilities already.

I'm getting the vibe that they're dead and sort of passing over, but together. Is that intentional?

It's more of a human thing, that you state your point instead of telling people to guess what you're talking about and to find info about that. That's just being 21st century too lazy to even bother talking.
