Idk how anybody is still eating out

You make enough money that you wouldn’t really notice if you’re paying $15 or $50 for a burger, and you’re tired enough not to care anyway

I want the world to be a better place

Way, way, WAY too many people are dying in Gaza, but it’s not everyone

I’m glad the democrats have found an acceptable pace of genocide for you.

we have to vote for Biden to save democracy

the point of voting is to choose the lesser evil, not have political parties win your vote by championing policies you support

Doesn’t seem like much to be saved there

After almost all voting to give billions in weapons assistance

will magically make everyone agree with you suddenly

The true feelings of a liberal - it’s better for people to agree with you than being right.

when everything fails and everyone is dying

Everyone is dying in Gaza, that’s the whole discussion here. I know libs have memory issues (every next election is the most important ever) but that’s pretty poor mate.

do nothing bullshit

advocating for voting

Like 80 percent of Americans don’t even live in a competitive state, stop wasting your time cheerleading for a sham democracy

Microsoft is the Windows ME of corporations

Like facial recognition it can work under pristine test conditions so you can get governments and corporates to spend millions on it

Not very useful in reality I would assume

I don’t agree with the risk that Earth will become Venus, but it is very possible we could hit the hottest temperatures since ~50 million years ago, which were too hot and humid for humans to live in.

Projecting current emissions into the future, Gingerich found that if emissions continue to rise, we could be facing another PETM-like event in fewer than five generations. The total carbon accumulated in the atmosphere could hit the lowest estimate of carbon accumulated during the PETM – 3,000 gigatons – in the year 2159. It would hit the maximum estimated emissions – 7,126 gigatons – in 2278, based on Gingerich’s calculations. Humans have emitted roughly 1,500 gigatons of carbon as of 2016.

Both. Barbarism then socialism, either voluntarily or become socialism is the only system that can reliably sustain humanity.

there is a possibility of Earth even going the way of Venus

Not in the next few hundred million years - fortunately we can make the Earth inhospitable for human life well before the planet cannot sustain any life.

I’ve read a couple thousand for work, there’s no utility or meaning to be gathered except some people have pretty shit lives and some people make very rash decisions (and accidentally chose high lethality methods).

I don’t think I’ve ever read one that was like “to my family, I am sorry but I was not productive every day and I wasted lots of time”

Australia has huge reserves of rare earths.

Australia also has huge reserves of cobalt too, but it’s cheaper to fuck up the DRC with violence and pollution, force kids to mine it and then write articles hand wringing about the ~ moral implications of modernity ~ without mentioning there are viable alternatives.

Similarly in Australia there were a lot of symbolic battles that never resulted in serious injury or death.

That said I wouldn’t characterise pre-invasion Australia as great, most of the country is pretty fucking hard to survive in (let alone over 60k years of climate change)

Same in Australia

South Korea mostly burns it or turns it into fuel (to be burned later)

How so?

Own an idea for 14 years, own a person for life
