>Stupid is the word I would use to posthumously describe the interests of Isaac Newton. I admit that it would have been difficult to recognise the stupidity of occult studies in 18th century England, but we can certainly apply that label

What's the story with this?

I think non-participation has been the standard since primary elections were established. The 20% who do reliably vote in them tend to be home and business owners, whose concern over their housing investment has increased.

This was my first paranoid thought.

It's pretty obvious that someone threatening the profits of major car manufacturers, gasoline producers, aerospace contractors, and Russia is going to get dragged in the media. The article was sparse on actual details. I'm pro uni

I bet lots of large (and small) companies have a similar pattern. This was in a single location during a two month period. It could be Tesla as a whole or it could be one dumbass manager. So much about this post and the article are misleadi

It sounds like one Tesla location did this for one or two months. I wonder how many Tesla employees were involved in violating the law and if they are still employed. And how many other companies have similar pending charges.

Yeah, my carbon footprint isn't nearly as big as my over-sized ego either and I need to step it up too.

At this point, I consider giving a TEDx talk an anti-qualification.

Between a walk, which can be done in almost any weather, exercise, and cooking well for one's self, plus a short amount of time for medidtation/self-care, I don't see why not. For people in a place where weather or the area

Keeping a phone for more than one year would be a start. Quality clothes over fast fashion. The end of seeing flying overseas and being a"foodie" as cool and recognizing it as the trashy behavior it is. Large gas-guzzling vehicles

It's writing. A text file. Archive it yourself. Or do you mean archive it but leave it visible? That seems to not be the point of the website.

>Ending slavery isn't controversial Of course it isn't. What is not obvious is what replaces it that isn't de facto slavery or even reduces opportunities for people so that they are exploited elsewhere. Nor how the replace

Not sure where this take is coming from. I learned about the Iroquois Nation in elementary school. And its influence on US democracy was mentioned in multiple classes later on.

Slavery is most certainly present in the West. The US penal system uses slavery.

The point isn't to justify slavery as cultural diversity but to be able to sell a more equitable model that is realistic given widespread values in the region. And one that does not inadvertently lead to more harm. As well as address t

Demand and genuine need is the issue, not production. Better that production is in Western democracies with high environmental standards than elsewhere. The issue is using those fossil fuels to reduce how much we will need them in the futur

Considering AC runs on electricity and solar generally works best when AC is needed most, it's a problem with a solution.

In Pittsburgh after the blizzard, we all slept in the family/living room where the fireplace was, in sleeping bags. I think power was out for a week to 10 days?

I've always heard fascism in the US would carry a cross and a US flag. That has been the vector historically. Let's not rewrite history here.
