For what it's worth, in Canada the recommendation is to base the response on bear behaviour, taking into account the bear species. Don't challenge or threaten a bear that's protecting its cubs, or guarding a kill. Do challenge a curious bear, and fight back against predatory bears. Some information here: https://bcparks.ca/plan-your-trip/visit-responsibly/wildlife-safety/#page-section-405
Of course, since bears behave like big dumb humans, the advice mostly also applies to meeting people too :)
Fully automated luxury gay space communism FTW.
bears wonβt stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you
Actually they will (sometimes). I had one young black bear that kept approaching me like a shy dog. It kept looking away and pretending to nibble bushes when I shouted at it. I left before finding out if it wanted to eat me (it probably did, being first thing in the spring). Another time we had a black bear that wasn't too obviously aggressive, but followed one of our crew around for two days. We ended up shooting it because we were in a fly-in camp and couldn't leave.
Most bears I met walked or ran away, including grizzlies.
Bears are complicated.
But she's not telling me, is she? She's telling every man everywhere, forever. I can't do anything with that information, except wonder if she's calling for all men and women to be strictly segregated for women's safety. At which point you've gone so far into nth-wave feminism that you've arrived at Saudi society as as model.
Because mercantilist wind turbine blades recycle themselves? Or did you mean to imply that communist wind turbines recycle themselves?
Veganism at its core is a moral stance. If not for the moral issues, these people would probably be vegetarian instead. That's not to say that all vegans are the aggressive evangelist kind, but pretty much all vegans choose their diet out of moral concerns (in addition to health and environmental reasons).
As a guy, I don't know shit about women, but bears are absolutely famous for being unpredictable. That's why they're considered dangerous. Not like moose, which are dangerous for being gigantic and incredibly dumb.
I like pedantry as much as the next person, but skew is a regular English word as well as a statistical term. It's clear here which usage they meant.
Or they could suck up a bunch of subsidies to get started, then sell their subsidiary to Loblaws. Foreign company gets cash, and Loblaws gets even more market dominance. Everyone wins!
It's kinda the same though isn't it? Opposition to nuclear power, opposition to wind, solar, geothermal, hydro. Seems like maybe what people want most of all is to stick their heads in the sand and just have everything stay the same forever. It was a multi-decade effort to get people off of leaded gas FFS.
red tape
Hey, those are the safety standards!
The question is so vague as to be essentially useless. It leaves so much to the reader to imagine that everyone is all over the place drawing different conclusions. How much does the reader know about forests? What kind of forest did they imagine? What kind of bear? When the reader imagines a random man, what pops into their mind? Does he live there, or was he randomly kidnapped and placed in the forest for the purpose of the scenario?
Further, even if we go with what some other posters are saying, and ignore the bear, it's still kind of useless, except to highlight how careful women feel they have to be around strange men.
