Broken clock right twice a day kinda deal. The US staged a coup in my country and supported a military dictatorship. Historically the US has done way more meddling than peacekeeping.

I wish honking in NA or EU was an emergency thing haha Now that I live in Japan I really feel the difference every time I go back

Let me guess, you're not from South America or Africa or the middle east or southeast Asia? The US government is the most destructive force in history

I don't agree with the race framing either, but I was replying to a comment that used it so I leaned into it. My point is not who won and who lost, it's that the USA has basically erased the USSR's achievements through its PR

I might be wrong there, thanks for the call out.

Yes, they declared their intent, but there was never an official "race". Matter of fact is that the US was behind the USSR in terms of technology. Kennedy declared a symbolic goal that was extremely risky and served little scienti

That's the thing, they weren't "the first with some early steps", they were way ahead of the US on literally every single measure that matters. The only thing the US managed to do first was land people on the moon, which

I mean, ideally it should be free to go to a community shelter. If it's not a disaster and just an unfortunate situation, that's what insurance is for. I guess I don't know what a natural disaster would be like where you&#x27

If you live in a remote enough place that you need your own backup plan then I would think only having to think about electricity would make things easier

by amrocha 4y ago
If "shit hits the fan" to the point that you don't have electricity for several weeks then it's unreasonable to expect to be able to shelter in your own home imo.

I don't disagree with you, the goalposts were always being moved by the country that lost the last stage, usually the USA. I also think there's a case to be made that, given their history of success and expertise, they could have

In the space race's case, they were leading in literally all practical and utilitarian aspects during the entire race, then they won the race, called it quits, and then the USA moved the goalposts and crossed them.

NASA didn't do it first, the USSR did. And the only reason they didn't land people on the moon first too is because their country was falling apart and they reduced investment in their space program. You're the one downplayin

No need to be so antagonistic. I guess what we disagree on is that conclusion. "Cloud gaming" is not a real market. It's a subsection of the larger gaming market, it will never grow much bigger than it currently is, and by th

This is just my opinion obviously, but I don't think those advantages particularly matter for gaming. 1. Gamers don't want cloud gaming. Latency matters. Cloud gaming is at best an addon for when you can't use your console. 2

You can't always fight fire with fire though

When you put it like that it sounds really difficult, but what exactly would it mean to "completely rebuild"? IMO it could look something like this: - Governments around the world set up a Climate Change Council - The council is g

We can't stop climate change by making it profitable. That's literally what got us into this mess in the first place.

There's nothing unachievable about 1.5C It would require sacrifices and global cooperation, but any real solution to climate change will require that

It's weird because you're asking people to do work for you, when you haven't done any work yourself. Commenting without reading leads to poor quality discussions, where one side has no intention of changing their mind. I will

by amrocha 4y ago
I don't disagree with you, but pretending it's all positives and no drawbacks isn't it either

by amrocha 4y ago
No, it's hard for a lot of reasons that you're conveniently leaving out of your argument because you prefer remote work

It's mostly the size. I cycle a lot and Teslas are noticeably bigger/wider than most domestic vehicles, which means they don't fit in a lot of smaller side roads. There's more inconvenient vehicles out there, but those a

Seems weird to admit you haven't read the article and are just commenting on the headline and speculating, while at the same time asking another user to summarize it for you and compare it to other articles that you also likely haven&#

In the richer neighborhoods of Tokyo you'll see quite a few land rovers and Teslas, which are probably the most inconvenient cars to have in Tokyo. At that point it's about showing off more than anything.

Hmm, I don't feel like that's what the original comment was getting at since it was talking about taxation.

You'd rather see people die of starvation than curtail frivolous spending?
