Region: Refugia
If youÂ’re talking about the Aquatic Cleaning Act, I personally think that the resolution is way too vague. The resolution gives no information on how nations should go about cleaning ecosystems or what the regulations that should be put in place are. It also doesnÂ’t have any timeline for the implementation of policies or cleanup (so, theoretically, a nation could just say that they will put regulations in place at some arbitrary point in the future and take no immediate action).
Edit to say that I think this proposal is great in theory but ultimately useless and that a much better resolution could be drafted to address the issues it attempts to address.

I'd love to vote for the resolution at vote right now, but I just can't. Not with THIS much vagueness- even I can tell, and WA isn't my strong suit by any means. This author is one in a million though, they have two resolutions simultaneously at vote and both are absolutely burning at vote for the time being. If this doesn't pass, which it almost definitely will not, I'd be very happy to vote for a bettered version!

I- What? If you are referring to Kessler Syndrome, that process has already started, and is going to end very poorly should we continue to goof up. What do you mean by nuclear winters in this case? I'm confused.

Hello Aephony, how's y'doin'?
The week began stressful for me as my land-line Internet broke Sunday Afternoon, all of a sudden. Tech Support arrived Wednesday Morning and fixed it (apparently, someone--probably a mischievous kid--pulled down a main switch in the building). I've been using USB-tethering to get Internet through my phone for the meanwhile.
But since then all's good and back to normal. Also my roommate who was at his parents' home and not feeling too great made a visit here today and I was glad to exchange a few words with him in person. He seems to be getting better and I hope for the best.
Now, about those tungsten rod tin-cans... I wonder if the Cloud Data Storage Refugium planet of Delta Vega IV could find any use for them. Probably not. But worth considering just in case.

Understandable, have a nice day.
SO out of the 146 rockets launched in 2021, 11 of them failed. Now imagine those 11 rockets were filled with nuclear waste. That would ✨go places✨ and mess things up, to put it delicately. Now imagine there are loads more rockets, because weÂ’ve got a LOT of nuclear waste. Now, I am a useless potato pulling half my numbers from the top google result and the other half directly from my ass, so if you want it actually explained (with pretty animations) look at this video- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2Z-WC9rao

If you would like, Estebere can begin creating Tin Cans with flavors such as Orange, Lemon, Pine Cone, and Berry Combo! Along with that, we can also make more seasonal Cans such as Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint, Bark, and Watermelon, all in the interest of bringing a fruity demise to anything that would threaten our fair region more than a Tin Can induced explosion would.
Tiralta, Chong Qing, Neurodiversity
Then we will launch them as weapons [false news]
It should be noted that Estebere hasn't actually made them. Well, not officially. Non military affiliated Esteberians have made some.
Edit: The flavored Tin Cans, not the actual ones

In Thailand, it's an actual law you gotta wear a helmet on a motorcycle. Go to Bangkok traffic midday, and you will understand immediately why. Traffic laws just don't exist.

Never step on Thai Baht. Ever. With your feet. In Thailand. You will go to prison. Never. Just Don't.

Because you can't disrespect the king's image. Guess who's image is on Thai Baht?

You will go to prison. Don't try it.

Yes, there are, but there are also many people who feel that they are too open. (After all, there may be new varieties), but the government does not have subsidies when it is under closed management (which is the main reason for the protest)

During my search for the October Eco Report, I realized that Refugia went through two hundred pages of the RMB in around three months and about ten days. In comparison, it took about a hundred days to go from page 439 to 539.

So, looks like we've got a slightly revised version of the "Protections for Sexual Assault Victims" proposal from...maybe a month, month and a half ago? (Time is weird). Anyways, the only gripe I have about this is the strength. I still think it should be a lot stronger than mild, but on the plus side, the author added in the fact that those whose accusations are found to be false will be held to the same standard as an actual sexual assault charge. Other than that, it's more well written than the original version, which had a ton of flaws and contradictory wording. I'll give it a FOR vote, but that's just me.

I translated the word Acorn into every language in Google Translate and all I got was What should you do?
Clearly something happened along the way.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, Chong Qing
And I did that with “What should you do?” But stopped after each letter alphabetically and translated it back into English to see what it was becoming. I didn’t list any letters where nothing changed.
[spoiler]After the A languages, it had already changed to “What am I doing with it?”
After the Bs: “What are we doing?”
After the Fs: “What are we going to do”
After H: “What are we doing?”
J: “What we do”
K: “What we will do”
L: “What do we do?”
N: “What are we doing”
P: “What do we do?”
Q: “What are we doing with these?”
R: “What do we do with it?”
S: “What do we do with this?”
T: “What do we do with it?”
U: “What do we do about it?”
X: “What do we do about that?”
After Y was the final iteration: “What do we do about it?”[/spoiler]
So after only a handful of languages it had already switched points of view and invented an it to do something with, then changed pronouns again and lost the it for a bit before bringing it back. And by the end whatever the it is is clearly a problem because the whoever the we is needs to do something about it.
Otherwise it stayed pretty much the same except the question mark kept disappearing and reappearing, so some of them ended up more as ominous statements like “What we will do” instead of questions.
Delta Vega Iv, Araine, Portmanteau, Tiralta
And so, running on pure boredom and quite possibly a heathy bit of insanity, I went in and once again did your last iteration, but going backwards from Z and ending at A. So, without further adoÂ
[spoiler]Y starts strong with “What do we do about it?”
X continues this with “What do we do about that?”
W is up next, with an albeit mildly disappointing “What are we doing about that?”
V unfortunately continues this trend by not making a change.
U however brings us back into business with “What are we doing about it?”
T then brings the most change of all so far, with “What should we do?”
S now follows, but also disappoints, giving no change whatsoever.
R too brings disappointment.
Q comes and saves us however, giving us “What is the right thing to do?”
P too brings a score, giving unto us “what should I do?” And yes, the what isn’t capitalized.
O now gifts unto us “What should I do?”
N sadly does not give a single change.
M gives me the mildly odd “What to do?”
L presents us with “What can be done?” And a healthy bit of deja vu.
K shows us a mildly interesting “What do they usually do?”
J yields an unfortunate nothing.
I just removes all grammar.
H gifts a “What are you doing”
G then comes along, and brings, oh, cool, DISAPPOINTMENT.
F too yields nothingness.
E is alsoÂ… does it need to be said?
D presents nothing of value.
C, I expected more.
B, why. Why why why why why.
A yields nothing.[/spoiler]
It all ended with “What are you doing?” And gave us nothing since H.
Edit: Google translate on an iPad is horrible.

Honestly itÂ’s kind of impressive it managed to stay somewhat close to the original after being translated into so many different languages with different alphabets and conventions. I mean itÂ’s still a question about someone doing something.
I used to swim and butterfly was always my least favorite, it was the most difficult stroke to learn and I was never good at it so I was really inefficient and just looked ridiculous.
I havenÂ’t done any swimming in a long time but I can comfortably say the 400m butterfly is not my race
