Energy credits — what a bunch of vacuous rhetoric.

The reality is that it’s energy being taken away from the overall grid, requiring a larger grid and thus prolonging our dependence on non renewable energy while we build up renewable sources.

If we weren’t so wasteful with our energy we wouldn’t need as much of it and it’d be easier to go fully renewable.

Maybe it would’ve if governments taxed them properly and spent that money to save the planet

This feels like the dot com bubble all over again.

For real though, what happens if you don’t say the words?

If only we could prod decision makers at the big software companies to actually support Linux…

Those fucks are way too greedy though. I mean AutoCAD hasn’t even got any significant feature updates in years let alone support for any platform other than Windows and they still charge insane prices for it just cause they can. And at the end of the day me and everyone at work are all stuck on shitty Windows.

Right? Even from a purely selfish perspective, this is unwarranted and wanton whereas if you go after a company you can make money.

Its all about money at the end of the day. For instance, the uni I attended is shutting down its entomology programme while continuing to pump large amounts of money into cell bio.

I would loop it with math going to philosophy going to sociology (with a bunch of things in between).

My bad, Reddit is still owned by an American company but Tencent has a large stake in it since 2019, at least enough to influence the platform into complying with pro-CCP censorship and etc

Yeah that’s possible too. It’s all speculation until the Netflix documentary comes out years later lol

It’s possible it was a initially pump and dump that turned into a Saudi funded venture. He’s a useful idiot from the Arabs’ perspective.

Thanks for pointing that out. It’s just so normal to think that way here that they’ve even corrupted me into framing climate change that way. It’s not a left wing topic; it’s a reality.

I just hope young people who are thinking of voting conservative here keep in mind that those assholes literally don’t believe in climate change and by extension science and facts. That alone should automatically disqualify conservatives from anyone’s consideration.

Though it’s only tangentially related to your inquiry, you should check out improvethenews.org

It’s basically what you are looking for but with news stories, though it’s primarily focused American news. It allows you to read the different narratives without actually visiting cancer news sites like Sky news.

This seems like further confirmation of that theory that I saw posted on here that the Saudi oil barons funded Elon’s purchase of Twitter for the sole purpose of destroying it. They want to silence online discussions of climate change and other left wing topics.

Combined with Reddit being owned by Tencent, Facebook being eternally evil, and TikTok being unconducive to any form of coherent dialogue, there are not many places for left wing discourse on the internet anymore.

I’d like to think religious people don’t necessarily believe or remember word-for-word what happened to Jesus or Muhammad or whoever but they do learn lessons from the readings that they apply in their lives in a positive way. Or at least their intentions are positive.

It’s a routine group-based literary text analysis that gives people a reason to be together, not unlike a high school first language class.

If you wanna get old school sociological about it, you could say it fulfills a social need for cohesion that non practicing people replace by placing increased importance to other routine activities such as sports watching or working.

Yup.

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that we are more modern than we actually are, that we have already moved past these issues. It’s important to remember that civil rights, feminism, and LGBTQ rights are not topics to be relegated to the history books. They are as alive now as they were in the 60s for today, like yesterday and tomorrow, is a constant fight for our rights.

Thats why I don’t do that shit to people.

Who am I to question someone’s spirituality if it makes them happpy and they practice in a healthy way and it doesn’t negatively affect the people around them?

More like Marx

I don’t how popular it is but I’ve been playing Balatro. Excellent card game
