Yet another rewrite of “we didn’t start the fire” incoming.

It seemed like a stronger and stronger possibility because allies within the party were urging it, not just the general public. I’m sincerely surprised he didn’t just grit his teeth and push forward until it was way too late. We’ll see what happens now I guess.

And no worries, been really into Ashes of Creation and it’s a mouthful. To be fair I wouldn’t trust Ashes of Creation on being up to date politically either.

It’s happened what, once? Twice? A meteor could hit the building both candidates debate at but it’s as unlikely.

Knowing what’s happening is a pretty important part of being a politian. Not knowing what’s being said during a conversation is a pretty good way to say something stupid.

Autocorrect for a gaming acronym I use frequently and the laziness to not go back and correct it every time. Though there’s something to be said about feeling it nessesary to use it as a point of attack even though it’s unrelated.

Also, looks like Biden is dropping out. Sucks to suck.

AoC self admitted she could be wrong and she is. She doesn’t keep her finger on the pulse the same we do, she’s off building solar panels in Puerto Rico. I like AoC, she’s so far off the mark it’ll fuck us over.

I don’t like the implication that Pokémon GO was bad when it got a ton of people to go outside and interact with each other. This is cool too though.

Linux using proprietary drivers always feels like a plane using a transmission to me.

Part of me wishes they didn’t, part of me wonders who would use his martyrdom to do even worse.

Based on Trumps defenders, it’s a legal gray area, so yes.

I feel it. I forgot what it was like. I feel… The Bern.

Because it’s easy? Who did it because it’s easy? Fucking writing on the street is easy but there’s no point, how does that make news? When the goal is awareness, how do you get it except by pissing off sensitive shits like yourself? Being aware of the problem is the first step. Having a wrong opinion about it is on them, they should look more into it but the first step is awareness.

But hey, you wouldn’t say that about BLM would you? That burning the cities and breaking into shops would “make people hate you and actively work against your goals.” would you? Of course not.

Ask Just Stop Oil whose attention they get for throwing shit on the Mona Lisa. Are you more aware? Stonehenge. Are you more aware? Private planes. Are you more aware? The audience is everyone who doesn’t give a shit about the protests but instead pearl clutches over the covers of books getting some paint on them. You. You’re the audience because now you’re talking about it and whoever you tell. They’re not targeting book readers, they’re spreading a message.

Stop fucking killing children.

What’s the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?

Dead children who will never grow up to learn to read. When what you’re doing isn’t working, you have to expand the discontent. The protestors of BLM and Antifa burned buildings down, yet who asks for the justification? Is vandalism not the answer to bring awareness to the slaughter of marginalized and silenced groups, or is it only acceptable when it’s closer to home?

I don’t give a shit if a hundred libraries burn to save the lives of even ten children. The dead cannot learn from their pages.

You put things around the glass so that groundwater never touches the ‘glass’. Again, very different now from the days we started.

Yet we haven’t even found other planets with complex dumb life, much less ones with intelligence, communicative life. Nothing like what we have on Earth, not even close. Either space is too big or we’re past the filter.

Hard to determine with what we know. We haven’t met any other intelligent species which suggests we’ve passed the filter. Yet, making that conclusion before knowing there are no others to meet is too presumptuous. But, if I were to guess, I’d think the filter is adaptability.

We’re superior to animals for being able to use tools, live in radically different climates, and shape every spot on earth into a livable climate. Even on Mars, the moon, and space. How else would a species venture through space if they can’t adapt?

That might be too general a concept for the question though.

Would you be surprised that we have dozens of nuclear plants all over the United States? Modern reactors that can withstand the mistakes of the past without the disaster? Media makes the public think the risk is higher than it is when in reality, more people have died per year installing renewables than all the nuclear disasters combined (per GW/H).

Nuclear is simply too energy dense to ignore.

And guns. Can’t forget the guns.

When Mulvad eats good we all eat good.

I think we have the social pressure for the advertising restrictions, the TikTok ban being a pretty interesting case on it’s own, I’m just frustrated at the half-measure because as with smoking, the warning to stop will be as effective as asking a 17 year old if they’re 18 before going to a porn site. What’ll keep them off social media is not knowing it’s there to begin with.

I know it’s an anecdote but I work in retail and there is no shortage of people buying cigarettes. We have more types, flavors, and selections of ways to smoke yourself into the ground not a one who cares about the warning. I just personally think the advertising and making it look good was what actually pushed them onto new users. People know it’ll kill you, what they need to forget is the lie that it’s cool, yummy, or fun.
