There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
I think diversity is redundancy. Keep in mind the necessary evil than none of those “green” energy sources can be created without us still leaning on fossil fuels some. So rather than claiming a single type, why not minimize what we can of the worst with all the better choices?
Some places simply can’t do wind and/or solar. Some places should be doing it all the time because it’s so consistent.
I guess saying both is out?
The distance is the same, so that is the same work. But there is probably more effort in two steps at once just from how the muscles have to work. If your heart rate is higher even a little bit after getting to the top, then it’s more.
More recent and maybe as pivotal was the move to get Ralph Nader in 2000. They knew he wouldn’t win, but the line I remember was that if the Green Party got 5% of the vote then they’d get a lot more funding next election. The right idea in trying to break the two party system, but the wrong approach, and who knows how things would have branched with an easy Gore win instead of the mess we got. “They’re both the same” - maybe in some ways, and that’s its own fight, but in other ways they are absolutely not.
And that one sunk. So I built another one!
I hate to reignite the thing, but if the ones who aren’t going to vote GOP and are willing to listen to you don’t vote, you do realize that’s a shoe-in in many places for the GOP candidate. I know, the other is trash too, but have we really gotten to the point where the GOP still has a locked in vote because every election the other side’s voters always fight with each other and ruin the potential sweep they had? IS this how the left works now? Seems like it. How do you fix that when the ones who are (understandable) pissed off keep turning away votes that DON’T get the right holding power? Circling the drain with this logic.
singers crooning “love me” over and over.
His mommy and daddy issues run very deep, don’t they?
It could honestly work either way. Dude is projecting HARD. (there’s another one)
Let’s not address the actual issues with ATC funding, but go after a (probably) very small demographic that has nothing to do with the problems at hand. Dude went down a furry rabbit hole one night, got scared because he was excited, and invented something to convince himself he’s not interested.
Nope, me either. Either try to clarify if there was a misunderstanding, which can be its own battle as people dig in very easily on the internet and don’t reread and realize it wasn’t what they thought. Or just let it be and move on, you said what you said.
Granted I have had a few rare deletions, but only because I totally missed the point and only saw it after posting. I do try to read over before hitting that button.
From my understanding a lot of the issue positions that a liberal and a leftist are shared. They want similar changes. Where they disagree is in how to bring about those changes. Liberal wants to use the systems in place to gradually shift, leftists are more radical and wanting quick change through various means. Centrist is what a lot of the Democrats are now, still wanting much of the liberal stance, continuing to not only want to use traditional means to get it, but also caving in often or using the excuse of working across the aisle with their counterparts as why much doesn’t get done. I don’t know if there’s anything between leftist and liberal, maybe progressive?
It is also a slur, much like boomer and millennial have become, not meaning anything beyond “different than me”.
There’s been warnings about the depletion of the huge aquifers under the US for years, decades even, for similar reasons. Taking it out far faster than it can possibly replenish itself. Data centers are just yet another input doing the same thing.
The ridiculousness of it is some of the populated areas in the west coast, surviving where large cities shouldn’t be able to thanks to pumping so much water to them. That is going to break badly. Also good examples of the water rights stuff that’s built up over the years. Climate Town had a good video on that mess once, it’s crazy.
Yes, and the Iran of the 50s and 60s was a very different place too. Guess who helped make it more like it is now. Yep.
Mitchell and Webb’s “Kill The Poor”
“I’m not saying we should actually kill the poor. I’m just asking if we’ve run the numbers.”
At one point we taxed them a lot more…
It’s all I’ve got.
Well, there’s some people who only shop there, so she might have no frame of reference to use, if she was able.
You forgot blaming Biden/Obama/Clinton for high prices they find in the store.
Always make sure the area is clear of our spider friends first before a shower or vacuuming or such. They’re just trying to help.
Yes, and again, with redundancy, so that does mean probably a nuclear plant connected to tap into any part of the grid, even if it’s not normally used. Same with wind and solar, they should help with reducing nuclear power use in nearby grids if they’re overproducing past their typical storage plan. An example of what happens when you try to run a separate grid without that capacity is Texas.
And continued work to reduce the impact of all of these. Better nuclear designs (some places have thorium in the works, and of course there’s always fusion in the future), also improving wind and solar in their materials and construction, something often not talked about. They need to be far more “renewable” recyclable than they are, and less toxic to create. One reason solar is so cheap is because its outsourced to places that don’t have strict rules on where to dump byproducts of their production, and of course cheaper labor. That needs to get better.
