Lol you mean the corporate owned farmers who milk subsidies and your taxes while trying to convince you they're just small blue collar workers? Fuck farmers.

Life. Find a purpose, pursue it, bask in the progress to achieving it or living it.

Ironically that sounds a lot like Trump

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.

The best meme is the one that can unironically help someone when the joke ends.

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.

Ape escape. Holy shit it's ape escape.

What you fail to understand is that when you've dedicated hundreds of hours of sincere effort trying to take down a wall and realize you're no closer now than you were at the beginning, you just step back and look at the people bashing their head against it and say: "Hey, this isn't working. It might not be worth the effort."

So hey, it's not worth the effort, free Palestine.

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.

Every day I wake up I gamble if I'll enjoy it or not.
