There's a lot of "such that..." and hopeful language there. I don't see it playing out so easily as that in the real future. And it doesn't seem to me like any of this actually reduces Cloudflare's carbon footp

There's no source because it's false. First, Americans do vote for more taxes on the rich, by-and-large. And second, those that vote against taxes for the rich are usually basing their votes on incomplete or otherwise factually

Okay, but my summaries don't do it justice. Unfortunately for those not there for the events, it is difficult to communicate what it is like. Imagine the human time wasted when dozens of people reply "oh honey don't get so up

Incredible analysis. I wish there was more! In my experience over the last few months on r/politics, the bots are extremely easy to detect just by reading the new feeds (especially in megathreads, they are everywhere ). For example, t

Surprised the author didn't reference the time when Facebook set out to intentionally manipulate hundreds of thousands of people by playing with their emotions [1]. Facebook made like 200,000 people start to feel sad on purpose and b

Modern iPhones can play music over wired headphones! Sure, not all wired headphones. But then again, the original iPhone can't play music over all wired headphones either.

The Romans built aqueducts that spanned hundreds of miles and they did it thousands of years ago. Why do you assume that today water has to be 'driven' with trucks or something? I'm sure we could build aqueducts.

No, it's obviously not, and I do not understand how you got there. I clearly don't think that because that would be insane. Does my eating of an apple actively hurt people who are hungry in Africa? No, it doesn't. In fact, ov

I really don't understand this position. The country has a housing crisis because many of the cities in this country do . Removing the connection to the rest of America is an incorrect way of looking at it because of cause and effect:

That's obviously not what I said, you are clearly reading my post incorrectly. Here is my opinion to make it clear: We should be building 10x more than we currently are - it should be done efficiently and with affordable housing attac

That cannot be the logical follow-through. A collapsing society can do its best to recover - a nuked and destroyed, murdered wasteland cannot. Climate-precipitated societal collapse is surely preferable to all over a large-scale nuclear war

No? I am not saying those weather events don't exist - I am saying that there is a very large class of weather events that happen with high frequency, and affect life on the ground significantly, and those include severe thunderstorms
