SRM is quite possibly the worst and most evil idea that has ever been seen as reasonable. It is not a "return things to normal" technology, and even if you ignore the length of time it must be maintained would be just as catastrophic as climate change
@Cominsitu
I once had an argument with someone that said if you aren't Catholic you aren't Polish. Tried to make it seem like this was a cultural thing. Now I know it was just extreme religious conservatism (or religious fascism, whichever you want to call it)

Why does saying people should have sex before marriage immediately mean fwb to you? Could you not have sex with someone you've been dating for 6 months and love but don't have immediate plans to marry? Also what does this have to do with loyalty?

So now not only are we banning clothing during winter (or at any time), someone must apply for a permit to wear the clothing to live their lives? What is the point here? What problem is being solved by creating this bureaucracy?

How is she the OG? She's a centrist democrat that would sooner we Republicans win than actual progress be made in this country.
@LackingSaint
You may have already, but I recommend reading Jason Hickel on why this metric is bullshit. The poverty line they use for the determination is completely arbitrary and not tied to meeting any basic human needs. His book The Divide is incredibly good.

Most of the continent has been sold loans from the IMF and World Bank that require restructuring their economies to best suit Europe and the US.

Life expectancy in the US is really low compared to every other developed nation and many many people file for bankruptcy because of medical debt. But sure, it's the best.

@POTUS
He's literally approved more drilling for oil and gas on public land than anyone since Bush. If it were a revolution there would be 0 permits going out. You're being duped.
@TransNeolibs
Consensus in politics and economics seems to be that most people on earth deserve poverty and to work their entire lives. That sucks! No thank you.
Still not sure why democracy is the pinnacle of ideals in communist circles. Cordelia had the best question about this to Heinrich last month. Majorities of people in a group often make the wrong decision all the time. People having more control of their lives is good, but
@InternetHippo
It's not surprising, but it's hilarious that they are saying this like it would be completely new. And like we didn't have like 35% just 10 years ago.

You're literally just complaining about the exact same thing as owning a home and passing it down to your offspring, but somehow it's bad because they are renters.

Conservatives aren't going to spare you when they try to genocide queer people just because you want to sell out trans people.
@nkulw
The lack of Internet and power has left it so difficult to get anything out. One journalist I follow said she had been trying to post reels on Instagram for like 3 hours and nothing was going through

@JustinWhang
She could have just not tweeted the absolutely wild thing she tweeted. Or if she needed to then she could have said like "yeah this is a weird one, sorry about that" and deleted it. The first is preferable, second isn't hard.

Buddy if a light-hearted video explaining why she couldn't be dressed a certain way is "alienating" or even somehow "humiliating" you need to rethink your entire life
@pepiblyton
What progress did you want, exactly? Just technological progress? Progress only for certain people? Why are trans people up for debate in your progressivism?

I was reading about the finale after I finished the show and saw the creator say something like "all this time you were rooting for Tony and with him, then you want him dead that badly?"
How anyone watched that show and supported Tony is beyond me.

Being a landlord is getting into investing. You are not guaranteed money return when you invest in the stock market. Why should I care about landlords losing money?

I think it just hasn't been as funny and the lack of any conflict in the show can get a little boring. It's a fine show, but the dude is right, it's not as good

You aren't protecting yourself from Palestinian children that Israel has corralled into a concentration camp, told to move, and bombed the areas they were told were safe.

Especially because his high school math teacher wasn't appointed until after Marx had a PhD. Like I do not know anything my high school teachers are doing right now. And they have no bearing on my thoughts and ideas.

Yes, unironically, lol. That government was a sham and you know it. A coup in France was the true birth of liberalism. History isn't made at tea parties

It was a government that was going to plunge Russia further into WWI and was unwilling to fully break with the Tsar. But that doesn't actually matter to you.

No, the person at the beginning and the girl wearing the hat are two different characters. They are killing her because she, as hat lady, refused the vaccine
@GothamChess
Crime isn't actually going up. It's just compared to last year when there was a pandemic and people were staying home. The stories being run are intentionally being put out to support more funding for law enforcement and tougher laws.
