/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • European gas prices jump by as much as 45% as Qatar stops LNG production

    Jump

  • That's what the price mechanism is for; if there's a shortage, just keep jacking up the price. 45% might be the beginning.

    Sure it'll collapse the economy, but for a short while it will generate incredible profits so who cares?

  • There has to be a limit to what Europeans will take, right? This is great news for US exporters who are selling LNG at a premium in Europe, yet Europeans just keep fucking taking it.

  • Thousands of Iranian government supporters mourning Khamenei chant 'Death to America'

  • Maybe it'll split up, and there will be more Americas in 20 years!

  • Bodies are wrapped in a shroud of biodegradable material

    The powdered remains are given back to relatives in an urn.

    What's the point of the shroud being biodegradable if you're going to keep it in an urn?

    Actually, on second thought, they don't have to keep the remains in an urn. They can scatter them. Never mind lol

  • We already outsource parenting to the government when we send our kids to public school. We send children to complete strangers to be educated because we don't have time to do it ourselves.

    Are you opposed to school too?

  • Live updates: Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead

    Jump

  • It's not just a limited sample, it's a biased sample. That makes it worse than useless for gauging public opinion.

    You wouldn't keep contact with the kinds of people in Iran that respected and supported Khamenei; they wouldn't want to talk to you and you wouldn't want to talk to them. This is the equivalent of people who think Thing is popular because everyone in their social circle loves Thing, and thing Other Thing is unpopular because everyone they know hates Other Thing. Worse than useless.

  • Realistically we should be skeptical of anything being published in Reuters, but there are explanations for how embarrassing gossip can leak to the press. Leaks can come from disgruntled employees who are trying to embarrass their superiors, competing factions within the state looking to weaken their rivals, and even the occasional attack of good conscience that government workers can sometimes suffer when the contradictions are high enough.

    But, ultimately, we don't really know what's going on. Hope for the best, assume the worst, etc etc.

  • Consider that the people you have contact with might not actually be representative of the average Iranian, and that's coloring your perception of the situation. Everyone you know is not a random sample, it's literally limited by who you get to know.

  • It's an engineered metal foam with incredibly high surface area that water molecules stick to without requiring external power.

    Problems I can think of are particulates in the air clogging the foam, and the foam itself is likely very expensive.

    I think it could have some very specific niche use cases? It's basically a dehumidifier that doesn't require external power, there's gotta be some way to make that useful, but I don't know how useful it would be for actually collecting water.

  • They got their "targets for execution" and "candidates for promotion" mixed up. Happens all the time.

  • Scouting America says transgender kids are still welcome after Pete Hegseth claimed they weren’t

    Jump

  • It's a signal for what they want to do to the program, and the government has a lot of ways to pressure Scouts to make it happen. It's a distraction until it becomes reality, like all the other evil Nazi shit they do. This is how they signal their future plans, just like forcing us out of sports and forcing us into the wrong bathroom and taking away our identification paperwork and putting us in men's prisons and then taking away our hormones when we're in prison. They push push push until they get what they want.

    They're evil Nazis and they want to exterminate all trans people. This is just another thing they want to do, and if we let them, they will.

    But I'm just a stupid fucking puppet, what the fuck do I know?

    1. Do evil Nazi shit.
    2. Say more evil Nazi shit online to... distract people from the other evil Nazi shit?

    That's not a playbook. That's an evil Nazi doing evil Nazi shit and then never letting us forget that he's an evil Nazi.

  • Holding parents accountable for what they allow their children to be exposed to would, in fact, reduce the number of children being exposed to harmful things. The question is, do we focus on the punishment side or the prevention side? On the punishment side we find the parents that let their children watch idk ISIS gore videos and imprison them. On the prevention side we force parents to install parental control software, like mandating locks on gun safes if there are children in the home.
