We just hit 1.5 C above per-industrial levels for the first time.
  • You've never talked to a single socialist, anarchist, leftist, etc. about civilian firearm ownership before? It's very commonly thought of as a necessary evil to prevent systemic oppression. Maybe don't spend so much of your time talking to trumpers and neoconservatives?

    To wit: there is no "right people" to want to shoot, and anyone who thinks there is probably has their own tribalism issue to work out. Community defense specifically does not have a target right up until the point someone else is an aggressor, and ends when violence is no longer needed. This is why you never saw "antifa burns down trump supporter's house" or whatever in the news.

  • Happens too often...
  • Your point isn't completely invalid, but it's a circular argument. Whatever the external force was, the system had the ability to complete the objective.

    One could actually argue that sending a person to the moon didn't directly achieve anything for the people, so that wouldn't necessarily have been a goal by itself anyway and was a waste of resources.

  • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance
  • I hear this point all the time, but it's simply not true. The total power that humanity consumes could perhaps eventually be generated with wind and solar, but they don't generate on demand, scalable power to provide the actual base load needed.

    Don't get me wrong, I think every new building (and probably the old ones too) should have solar panels, but that doesn't negate the need to move the base power generation to nuclear from coal and oil.

  • 2024 Republicans want to eliminate the Education Department. What would that look like?
  • It's simple. Rural parents and older people have been convinced over time via propaganda that "the school system" is why younger people don't generally share their values and ideology. This can be used in all kinds of ways to create emotional responses later.

    For example, many conservatives in the western states are convinced young arsonists are burning down forests and fields because they are homeless and feel entitled to housing. Of course, there is no proof of this, and they don't think it can be climate change because they don't think climate change is real.

    As a result of all this, they are very willing to take their kids out of school and switch to some homeschooling program so they don't raise homeless arsonists.

    I wish I was kidding.

  • 66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
  • Because neither party would? The red koolaide people would dismiss this idea immediately, because it's clearly scary communism. The blue koolaide people would pretend to support it while asking for your votes, then proceed to conveniently forget about it entirely, or pretend to try to do it while also receiving lobbying money from nearly every corporation and anti-workers-union type organization.

    The people that would support this are not part of either party.
