2% of natural gas is used to produce ammonia which is used for various critical industrial purposes.
To replace that with electricity, I estimated it would take 30% of all carbon free power sources on earth in 2009 (when I looked into it)
The power required to actually electrify industries is massive, and without the fossil fuels subsidy the whole way of life on most of the planet would need to fundamentally change.

Pretty sure I owned one of those, and it was mostly air. You could lift it with a couple fingers.
Most important thing about the left: They don't believe a goddamned thing.
The Liberal party of Canada elected a hedge fund manager to be their prime minister, then Canada elected the Liberal Party of Canada, headed by a hedge fund manager, to be prime minister.
It doesn't make any sense at this point to keep bothering to point out hypocrisy, because their moral framework doesn't actually hold hypocrisy as wrong because truth doesn't exist except as a path to power and an expression of power.

"Expecting me not to give my kid drugs and strangle them to death is white supremacy"
ok.
ok.
Two geese.
One digs in the dirt all day to get worms for hatchlings.
One plays quack all day. Not because it can't, but because digging is for the birds.
"Equity" says it's unfair the dirt digging goose has so many worms and the quack goose has none, take from dirt digging goose and give to quack goose.
Equitable, but not fair.
But third goose was born without wings, can't fly, struggles to get to dirt to find worms. Works harder than digging goose, but can't get enough worms to survive.
Wingless goose didn't ask to be born without wings.
Not equitable, but also not fair.
The world is complicated. Quack tournament goose exists, so does wingless goose.
Worse, if you try to limit help to wingless goose, some Quack tournament gooses might claim they lost a feather.
And if we help wingless goose, should they have to keep working as hard as digging goose to deserve help? Is that fair? Maybe, but isn't being a wingless goose already really hard?
Anyone who says it's an easy problem to answer is being a silly goose.

It's important for everyone to remember it doesn't just happen elsewhere, it happens in first world nations, it happens in places that sniff their farts about how wonderful and advanced they are, I guarantee it happens in America too.
The laws of physics really don't care where you live if you try to violate them. :(

The laws of physics supercede the laws of man. You are not the fictional person on TV. If you go up against a car, every single car on the market today will win.
Russia and China are both not looking so good right now. I wonder if both regions enter a warring States period if the governments collapse in the next 20 years?
You forget to lock down your YouTube creator page and your Twitter during ONE (1) Christmas day ayuaska trip, the world loses their goddamn minds!

I thought it was funny that the same day he implemented that, he and Musk started shaking a hankerchief around over on X and TS to distract from it.
I failed my drug test -- I couldn't figure out what half the drugs they gave me were! I should have studied harder and taken more drugs beforehand, but I didn't want it to come to work high.
I got mixed signals on this one.

Meanwhile the swatzika enjoyers all like "no, that pussy isn't with us", and the Israel lobby all like "no, that gigachad isn't with them"
One thing that's kind of humorous is a lot of Americans are going "I don't know why you'd want to leave Mexico anyway, low prices on groceries, you can hire people and relatively low cost, wait for your regulations... In fact you know what I'm moving to Mexico!" And then they moved to Mexico.
If I were going to move to the US, my guiding light would be "obey the law". That way I wouldn't get deported for disobeying the law.
Doesn't actually seem like a big ask.

ngl, people who hold up Athenian democracy as anything but a good example of the dangers of democracy don't know enough about Athenian democracy. There's a reason why Plato and Aristotle both wrote that it's shite. Not to mention their teacher was sentenced to death by that same democracy for the crime of being kind of annoying.
Plato did see the fall of Athenian democracy, though temporarily, within his lifetime, and by the end of his student Aristotle's lifetime, it was basically dead. Aristotle's student Alexander would become the king of the Macedonian Empire and the democracy in Athens would be replaced with an oligarchy.

"Whataboutery" for you is the main course for me. The history is more interesting than the specific theological debate.
If my understanding of history is wrong, well that sucks I'll have to study harder.
