Hey! Justin Trudeau! You want to turn my website into state-run media?
Come and take it, you Nazi Gestapo! My grandfather fought Nazis like you and I'll fight you too!
Go on, make the Liberal Party unelectable for 1000 year even through all your lying, cheating, and stealing. Everyone thinks they're indestructible. Ask Kathleen Wynne how well that worked out! Your time is coming, and you're taking your whole Nazi party with you, and your commie friend Jagmeet too!

I think at this point we should just call everyone in the media Baghdad Bob until they prove otherwise.
@Shadowman311 The Iraqi information minister told us earlier this week that there are no fuel shortages. Never!
@TheFreeThoughtProject Thankfully, the drug companies are completely immune to legal recourse for these consequences.
Hey, what's a 9/11 between friends?

@styx I got blackpilled when I realized men don't have reproductive rights. At that point, why would I fight for someone else's right to have something I don't have?
If I knock a girl up and she wants to have a baby, then I'm having a baby. I don't have any choice.
If women don't want babies, they can do the only thing men can choose to do: Either don't have sex or use enough contraception that you don't get pregnant.
I'm not strictly anti-abortion (though watching my son develop makes me think "Who would kill this thing that's a baby?"), but I'm not fighting for it. I'm no longer pro-choice because my son won't have any choice.

@mnswpr It's really easy... The baker doesn't have blanket liability protection for speech they specifically moderate. Jurisprudence prior to section 230 is that unmoderated forums are the responsibility of the person posting, whereas moderated forums are the responsibility of the moderator. If we went back to that, then both companies would be treated the same, and the forum would have an incentive to keep things unmoderated.
@publius @graf @alex It looks like the Hadean era had an atmosphere of about 27 atmospheres CO2. Besides the massive amount of carbon that was put into rock, oxygen also was captured by various types of rock that would react with oxygen prior to the oxygen catastrophe.
The incredible thing is that it looks like the first forms of life were already here only 500 million years after the formation of the planet. That's sort of crazy to think about.
The other thing that's crazy to think about are the time spans involved, where life basically chugs away for timespans the human race can't even comprehend, even at the single celled level.

@graf @alex I wonder why venus ended up with so much more gaseous matter than Earth did? The CO2 concentrations are at like 75 earth atmospheres, and the N2 concentrations are at like 8 earth atmospheres. There was never a chance that an atmosphere like that was going to be able to support earth-like life.
@pluralistic Shortsighted and not thinking of the long-term consequences. Really naïve.
Dandelions are edible and routinely used in salads, but that doesn't stop people from buying roundup to kill it on our lawns. If you picked all the dandelions in your yard and brought it to a local restaurant, they'd tell you to buzz off.
Moreover, if people stopped eating beef tomorrow, what would happen to the number of cows on the planet? Truth is, they'd probably go extinct. Creating a market for something means you get more of it, not less.
There was once a time that expanding cars were considered an environmental plus. In the 19th century, the horse was the normal mode of transport, and they ate (carbon neutral) grass and then... erm.... expelled it. In the street. For people living in cities, moving to the automobile was a huge environmental win. What we know now is that you just moved the pollution from one spot to another. Instead of sitting on the road, it puffed into the air. Electric cars just move it again, so instead of spewing it into the air here, we spew it into the air over there, then at some point we have a huge pile of toxic waste to dispose of (but it's not right here right now, so it's 'green')
The environmental industrial complex is real. They're always looking for new things to package up and sell you as environmentalism, damn the actual consequences. Chasing trends makes people feel good, so it's a good marketing strategy, but it's a bad policy. They want to take your money and keep you spending, not save the planet.
People can be perfectly happy using less, and that's the best thing we can do. You can't sell that though, so we keep having products thrown at us by companies hoping to make money. The entire establishment is trying to reframe consumption as something you're doing that will save the world, and as long as we keep accepting that narrative, the planet and the human race is doomed.

@FediFollows That sounds really interesting.
I've got a blog that doesn't get much play from google in part because it's a fairly niche thing. Being part of the fediverse would mean people can just subscribe if they like it without having to actively chase down the site.

@graf @asspounder3000 that's why you have to always make sure to eat plenty of fiber.
Just think: If every woman who works for "an organization trying to get more women and girls into STEM" actually worked in STEM, it would be the largest infusion of women and girls into STEM in history.
@Breaking911 Never seen such a good endorsement since Osama bin Laden endorsed John Kerry.
