Better to have that sign up, I guess, than to have a corpse rolled through your lobby.

How can I get this motherfucker to stop showing up in my feeds? I have him and all his subs blocked, and he still wriggles into my life.

I’m not playing defense for anyone. I’m recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.

I’m not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

I loves me some udon noodles. Drain the water and add hot sauce. Mmmmmmm…

Like that’s ever stopped us from doing things for profit?

Honestly, that’s what’s holding us back. Make climate repair profitable, and the climate will be fixed inside of a decade.

I mean, that would be a lot of iron…

Believe it or not, it’s a laudable goal. Cow feces is responsible for about 40% (yes, really) of methane production worldwide, and methane is several times more impactful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. I called bullshit (heh) the first time I heard these stats, too, but they’re real.

Most of the legitimate “block sunlight” proposals involve cloud seeding or spreading long-lasting particulates high in the upper atmosphere. The goal of these projects is to reflect 1-2% of sunlight, which would significantly cool the climate, but plants would hardly notice. In fact, organisms like reef systems would greatly appreciate it, as they’re dying off at an extraordinary rate.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles…

And is projected to be in service for another fifty years, IIRC. Something to be said for not fixing things that aren’t broken.

Yeah, looks like a nighttime image of the island with some smoke added to it.

Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it – standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.

Another fun fact about them is that if you were to take all their blood vessels out and line them up end-to-end, the otter would die.

Most religions share the same problems. Sure, they each have their own hangups, but much of what people bitch about with Xtianity is common in other world religions.

Russia clearly has a poor understanding of the word “war.”

Ah, we finally got to the point of “anyone who disagrees with me is a troll.” Took longer than I thought. This thread is becoming a great way to populate my blocklist.

Yes, I’m vindictive. I return the downvote favor when I see somebody else doing it. If this bothers you, you should try not starting shit to begin with.

As for the shit with Pizzacake, I again highly recommend you engage her yourself and see how things go. Nothing like experiencing it first-hand IMO.

Edit: And just so I don’t have to experience your stream-of-consciousness bullshit anymore, consider yourself blocked. Bye.

Better yet, use a hidden partition.

That’d be my suggestion. I can’t imagine that the average airport security goon is going to check the reported size of the drive against the hardware specs as part of a normal inspection.
