Watching republicans turn against the military is very interesting. They say trump is anti war but anti military might be a better description. Meanwhile, the military has more respect for the US Constitution and might be the ultimate check against the power of trumpists. Methinks the US is fucked.

They are trolls. They are not speaking in good faith. Is it true that people in your country can just change it as they like? The short response is fuck off.

About 220 users and a ton of communities, 2 instances. Mostly for posting nsfw shit (i have that turned off so it shouldn’t appear), being outrageously stupid or bigoted and sports/anime. No regrets, not bashful about it. Different opinions are fine but I don’t have time for the stupid and hateful kind.

I’m duly impressed that it lasts that long and at that rate the screen may be justified.

I have rechargeable vapes. I have never seen one with a screen and I am already annoyed by the the lights that they all have. I stopped using the one that vibrated because why the fuck would I want that? I just need a cheap nicotine delivery system and putting a screen on it is peak pointless tech imo.

Replacing income tax with a consumption tax (tarrif) sounds like a great way to reduce spending and wasteful consumption. Crashing the US economy is one way of doing degrowth, I guess.

Are ‘don’t walk on the grass’ signs speciesist? I feel like it’s unfair that the other animals are allowed and i’m not.

Trump supports Israel and would happily nuke Palestine. You are completely daft.

The Oubliette reminds you that the web does not forget…

Yes, but the battery has a purpose, the screen is wholly unnecessary.

Why would a vape have a screen, that’s insane waste

This but without the ADHD to blame it on.

Residents worry about the project’s dust, the potential spread of Valley Fever from fungal spores that could be stirred up and their properties losing value. The project’s water assessment found it could result in a deficit of 300 acre feet of groundwater—typically enough for 600 California homes—meaning more water would be coming out of the local aquifer than goes in.

They’re not trying to stop it but they want negative impacts mitigated. This seems reasonable.

The article says he was collecting weapons for a zombie apocalypse, in this case crazy seems the most likely explanation. Pointing this out is not at all the same as saying you must be crazy if you do something violent.

It is ironic that research tends to be limited to what people in more affluent regions believe about climate change and climate justice. Citizens of frontline i.e. climate-vulnerable countries, are largely confined to being the subjects of climate discourse, as opposed to active participants. The unbalanced discourse matches the inequalities that characterize climate change itself.">

How is this ironic? Climate change is due to the actions of people in more affluent regions, it is the actions and attitudes of these people that need the most change, whilst people in vulnerable countries are subject to climate changes they have little to no effect on. Unfortunately many of those affluent people refuse to take any responsibility, instead claiming to be subject to the whims of big business and the super rich, as opposed to active participants. Climate justice is a nice thought but it’s not going to happen.

Amusing that they label these things traffic ‘calming’, in my experience drivers become far less calm when dealing with obstructions designed to slow them down and add difficulty. It reminds me of the ostensibly calming music companies play while you’re on hold for an hour. Why call it calming? It’s about control is it not? I find the terminology disingenuous and almost designed to irritate. We’re going to calm things down by making things difficult and slow, sure.

Teacher: not anymore

It only surveyed people who don’t have children. Says on the left ‘Do not have children, n = 1300’. This result says nothing about the general intention to have children as those with children in each age group are excluded. Naturally, as people age, the number who still think they’re going to have children goes down.

They want autonomous weapons and they want AGI to save us from climate change. I don’t believe AGI will happen but they’ll probably settle for faking something that fools the masses and lets them set the agenda. Then it’s flame throwing robot dogs for everyone.
