Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

That's a good point tbh. That H2O isn't like taking a shower or watering the lawn, it's likely leaving the water table fairly permanently as nh3 and whatever they use the oxygen for.

The one thing that they glance over here is it still takes overwhelming amounts of energy to get the hydrogen. In 2009 I did a quick calculation and determined it would take 1/3 of the entire planets nuclear and renewable power generation to replace this one industry. The natural gas isn't just for energy, but it provides the hydrogen in the nh3.

naaaaw. I mean, it would get most professionals sanctioned, and it would violate the rules in place in every company in America, but these aren't high minded places like businesses, this is the wild west of the people who run your country!

They should go practice coal mining in Centralia, Pennsylvania. I hear there's lots of coal up for grabs out there.

Or jailed.

Social media meltdowns have people asking important questions about online platform design— including the classic debate over real names and anonymity. What difference do they make?
Part of the idea seems to come from companies that want all your information. They want to know your full name, your location, your face, so they can build their profile to either sell you things or sell you to someone else.

Besides that, it's just insanely stupid the idea that people should be forced to provide their actual identity to others just to participate in discussion.

People think of the Internet as this safe thing because people we like are on it and we access it from our living rooms, but it's more like a city block. Sure, there are spots that are safer, but there's going to be a lot of people walking down the street you wouldn't give your personal information to for a variety of reasons.

Yeah, you can probably track down a person's personal info even of someone just walking down the street if you really want it, but even a standard padlock can be picked in 15 seconds but will keep most people from bothering.

I was thinking in terms of being a mental midget who only seems to parrot whatever the teevee tells her, rather than any of the positive connotations.

If I'm gonna date a genocidal bimbo, this isn't going to be the one I date.

They're going to continue to be stupid until incentives stop paying them to be stupid.

Hoping this tightening cycle does it for us.

He should run.

It would be hilarious.

"Look here, I did lots of disinformation. hehehe. I Made everyone think there were WMDs in Iraq so we could invade. So I am an expert on disinformation."

The nutjobs don't understand that it's safer to be unsafe. Tell people to stop believing everything they see instead of trying to police everything.

Huh...

You don't buy something for 44 billion to keep running it the way it was. Especially when 13 billion of that came from debt the thing you own now owes.

Winter 2022:

Don't really main one. I've got two computers, I use them each about the same, one is Linux the other is Windows.

"it's a.... Oh my dear God...."

👍

I paid money for Saint Anger, so I can sort of relate.

That was like 6 hours wages back then, and it was like a bunch of toddlers pretending to be Metallica.
