Seems about as complex as time zones - that is to say, it requires far more thought than any of us realistically put in. Apparently the Japanese just… chose family names at some point in the late 1800s. They all had to, basically overnight

It doesn’t really matter if, at the end of the day, our current usage is too high and consumers see EVs as a pro-social purchase. I don’t really think they’re a problem, personally, but it IS the topic of this comment thread, so it’s an app

I wonder how public works funding would look if 90% of the nation wasn’t painfully far behind in maintenance. But also, AI data centers have been around for like 3 years. It’s not surprising they haven’t reached a high level of efficiency y

I can never tell if these comments are jokes or not because I unironically thought this was a spreadsheet game my whole life. For anyone as ignorant as I was, it’s actually a video game. You do fly around in open space, chase or run from sh

It’s safe to default to America. Anyways, an SUV is not a sign of wealth in a crowded city. It’s typically the opposite - they can’t afford a car for the city, so they use the one they already have. If you really want to use that idea, you’

You should look up choice paralysis if you think that less choice being good is somehow "'brainrotted'".

This surprised me too. My apartment hallway has 5-10 amazon packages in it per day . I guess... everyone's just spending crazy money at home. Seeing the other comment about large purchases being made in person makes sense, but still -

If you think "has an SUV and can buy food in advance" == "rich", then the billionaires truly have scrambled your brain.

It's also kind of weird to think that soil, really, is just ground up "stuff" that used to be trees, plants, rocks, etc.

Sure, but as I explained, it doesn’t really work well anyways, so who cares?

Yes. There isn’t much evolutionary benefit and it would be insanely calorically expensive, but there’s no reason a creature couldn’t evolve some kind of DNA repair or something to that effect. Iirc, elephants almost never get cancer, nor do

Could you imagine if the US actually tried to take these by force, instead of in “meany weenie words” form?

I’d prefer 60% of millions and millions of viewers over 200% of the 8 people on peertube. Percentages aren’t that important here.

People don’t really want another step in the already arduous process of making videos - especially when the return on investment will be $0. This website will die off in a couple years and everyone who wastes time on it will be worse off fo

Nope, I just have to see that the companies selling poison in both eras need to be regulated. It’s pretty simple. I don’t want to waste time making people in power “reflect what they care about”. I care about the harm being done to children

I know what point you were trying to make, but I’m pointing out that your argument works against you much better than it works for you. The last point you make is just lame whataboutism.

Australia is kind of an exception. You’ve got a super outdoor culture, a bunch of fair-skinned people, thin ozone, and very clear skies.

The US is quite literally famous for always honoring its debts. It’s genuinely shocking Americans that Trump is being aggressive in telling them they need to honor their agreements on NATO spending. China also creates incredibly bad deals

Sure. A national training program sounds dope. Let’s get on it.

You realize in this scenario you’re actually defending the tobacco companies, right? Tobacco companies: “CIGARETTES ARE FINE!” Society: “we should regulate that.” Social media companies: “SOCIAL MEDIA IS FINE!” Society: “we should regulate

I’m glad you think parents need to step up. They aren’t. Stop pretending that the solution is “people should just stop doing this thing I dislike” because it will literally never work in any situation where you’ve got even an ounce of compa

You should look into Paul Krugman’s research on nudges, and how he won a Nobel prize showing that extremely small changes can have significantly beneficial effects across an entire citizenry. You’re the person saying that we shouldn’t be de

That’s an extremely small negative. We’ve had nearly zero privacy for all of human history. A lockable door in your own home was an enormous revolution. There was a brief period where you could do super secretive things in your own home in

Do… you think trust and morals are disconnected? Did those things I wrote make you trust China? Do you trust China more than the US based on those things?

Comment 1: “maybe it should be this way” Comment 2: “it can’t be that way because of this” Comment 3: “but it can, because it could maybe be this way” You: “There was no hypothetical” Oh my god the comments are getting so stupid. Please, I

You literally cannot own land, there are no private schools, and billionaires exist at the pleasure of the state. They call themselves communist (to varying degrees, but they absolutely do). What a bad troll attempt.

This is incorrect, and you have failed to read my mind on how it works. Extremely weird attempt, but I applaud the bravado anyways.
