  • The fact you don't understand how long girls and boys, but especially girls, get-away with carrying this behavior into the workplace shows yours. There are Companies, seemingly the majority in the US, IME, where this is their culture. It meshes all-too-well with the patriarchal shit that these same girls and yourself claim to despise.

    Until you can mature-enough to stop identifying with every xx or feme-person no matter how toxic or immature their behavior, you are no more ready for this conversation than they.

  • No disagreement here. Gimme a speaker or three, and let me decide what plays on it. Too bad an Ice-cream-truck jingle would just tease people.

  • Is this the age of strategic nuclear piracy?

  • Disarmament and non-proliferation is an excuse to meddle with the many not-so-small-as-the-big-boys-would-like nations.

    Give a dictator "the bomb", and it becomes clear that he is the boogey-man holding his nation hostage. No excuse to consolidate power where it can all be destroyed at-once by your own side, and pretending anyone wants to invade your killswitch'ed capital becomes a much-thinner facade.

    That's precisely why the west won't give its favorite dictators the bomb, and why those dictators know-better than to seek it.

    Am I saying North Korea and Iran aren't fascist-dictatorships? No, but keeping them from having the bomb isn't really a good excuse to *help those governments isolate, dominate, and radicalize their people by punishing them economically, restricting their peoples' freedom of movement, and bombing them whenever too many of their best-and-brightest get together in one place.

    It's no better an excuse than Oil, nor "drugs" or communism.

  • I was referring to the EPA-and-other-federal-agencies permit-revocation and refusal-to-permit bullshit.

    I'm pretty sure Solar and wind are still the most economical options, even after everything you mentioned. You and I will look at these now more expensive options and go "shit, well I guess I can't afford to reduce my electric bill". Corporations either build where there is supply to meet their intended needs(running out of options), or they build the capacity themselves.

    The reason I brought this up, is that those wind-and-solar farms being built by public-entities and challenged by Trump don't have the vested-interests versus a factory that's going to use, and cannot do without, the power-capacity its building itself.

    Energy companies are content to keep selling from existing plants and raise prices when available supply is "low"(demand-based-pricing is profit-seeking, not "eco-friendly"). The local-and-state politicians backing the newsworthy projects only really care about fighting for them when the voters are watching or they need more campaign-money from big-Energy, who again, has no reason to care what gets built or doesn't.

  • ... in a World News community that happens to be hosted on an Aussie instance. Hi, I'm an American who came to Lemmy via a .de instance because that's where the most-active Machinists communities decided to move/mirror/whatever from Reddit.

    Maybe you're right that trans-bashing would be a bad idea on blahaj, but is getting possessive/territorial about an international problem really the best look?

    That said, did I call this an Australian-media problem? It's worst on British media. Honestly, Australian media seems a little better about the headline name thing than some of His Majesty's territories to me, or I wouldn't even implicitly make a joke of it re: an admittedly, eventually-discernable-as, Australian article.

  • Congratulations on being the first to spot the part of the lame joke that was self-deprecating and ultimately, yes, the only reason I looked at the post body/content. You get a cookie.

    As I've said already, I recognised NSW and didn't read the article as a result, before I commented.

    The media's obsession with naming people whose names don't matter to most without context front-and-center is the joke. Even just including his job-title would have helped. I recognized the New South Whales abbreviation in the byline, or I would have had to read the article to get it 100%.

    My own fascist-moron-in-office is already using the attack as an excuse for travel-bans, so why do I suddenly need to recognise a name I've never seen before and likely never will again, just because his excuse is slightly "better"?

    EDIT: added the first two paragraphs, since the rest was apparently as unclear to y'all as grandma's article in UFO magazine that wasn't even meant for human eyes.

  • I hate to suggest privatization, but ... are private Solar plants and wind under-attack, or just grid-connected ones?

    Cap (at least new)corporate/industrial grid-demand, outlaw new fossil-fuel plants, and watch the corpost fight the feds for wind-and-solar tooth-and-nail. They aren't the ones demanding/defending more coal and gas so much any more, as its not the cost-effective option.

    Throw in net-metering across-the-board too.

  • Honestly, the single biggest reason this doesn't get my up-vote is that removing it is almost-as effective for noise and basically free. I mean, if shope and shade-tree mechanics were charging enough for any of it, would this really be the problem it is?

  • Most modern ICE cars are still deadly-quiet at slower-speeds as well. Also, pedestrian safety is a weird context in which to be espousing "tire noise is enough for pedestrians, just gotta go fast".

  • We're all pretty awful imho, but the ones I hate the worst will never admit how bad they are, or that anyone remotely like them, down to having x specific thing in common, could be awful abusers themselves.

  • So cute how you skipped straight to false-rape-accusation levels of "that never happened", and you're telling me to chill. You also apparently never talked to a man about what's happened to him.

    Sounds exhausting to put such efforts into making sure we don't feel safe-enough around you to tell you about it, but y'all are just so proud of yourselves for it.

    "Dude got beat up by a girl!", "he must have deserved it!!", "that never happens" ... One of us is bullshitting and outing themselves as an awful person here, and I gotta tell you, it normally takes a lot to out-shine me at that, but there you are.

  • It's amazing how many people were set-off by "louder than stock" not "loud as I could find" ... I don't think Dodge is above or even-average-noisy to start with, but you're a bane on man and nature, apparently.

    Did you even buy them yourself or intentionally? Bet many idots don't even realize non-OEM is cheaper when you need a replacement, nevermind the stupidity of buying the same version that has already failed you at least once. Noise bad. Aftermarket bad.

  • Recognizing you are slow and loud is BDE though, like an RPG Tank. "Taunt" is an essential skill for a reason, yo.

    EDIT: They probably had to rev it to keep it running. Idle set too low, unadjustable, or just an all-around POS vehicle. Stickers are cheaper than fixing-or-replacing most vehicles. This was common-knowlege, not-so-long-ago.

  • Sure she's not. Are you really that ignorant?

    Short of the immediate physical violence that is FAR from out of the question from girls, do you write off having her family, your own family, thugs, your peers and authority-figures sicc'ed on you for made-up bullshit as nothing at all? Even just having "he made her cry" or "he's afraid of a girl" reach the wrong ears or big-enough audience can cause all-sorts of fallout.

    It's amazing how much y'all weaponize the things "we don't do"(but statistics say otherwise) as an excuse to ignore all sorts of malice.

  • Don't wait for the proposition before replying to the first bit. It's extra-embarassing to get to shoot your shot after broaching the subject only to be shut-down.

    Girls are even worse about this, and they'll still ask you out and call you moron/must-be-gay-for-being-uninterested even if you reply to that first bit with "well, I like this other girl..." or "I tried that with ..."

    Oh, and a girl you like but had no clue liked you also running from the classroom crying when she hears you asked another girl out is just ... absolute joy /s, let me tell you.

    EDIT: "girls" was intentional; This would rank highly among behaviors that I personally draw the lines between girls/women and boys/men. In school, I worried about myself, because I never liked the more extreme/immature "girly" behaviors like so. Can't say it was a negative to end-up fixated on 25+, or at least mature-acting, women early-on though.
