Every type of anti-environmental person seems to just have no grasp of numbers as a concept. I worked in wind for a while and one coworker was a guy taking a break from the oilfield. He really thought he had something when he was like ‘golly is that an oil based lubricant? in a supposedly green energy? hyuk hyuk looks like oil isn’t going anywhere.’[this is barely an exaggeration he was a walking caricature of a hick] Just absolutely 0 ability to perceive a difference between burning 100 gallons a day of something vs using 10 gallons a year.

I literally moved away from albuquerque because the drivers are so bad lol. I saw people run red lights directly in front of APD and the cops did nothing on two separate occasions.

This would be great for an “oh fuck off” plot point in a cyberpunk thriller or something. ‘What do you mean the only copy of the ____ is on the corpo’s pet raven’

presumably out of focus wallpaper.

Social murder is murder. Self defense isn’t murder.

I’m gonna need more angular momentum at 100 mph than what tiny little scooter wheels are providing. Absolutely terrifying device.

Sure why engage with the actual reasons that leftists express for (varying levels of critical) support for any given country when you can ignore all that and dunk on this vague and convenient strawman.

Ranked choice only goes so far when the electorate is batshit insane and willfully ignorant.

Dems will never win an election again if they prioritize trying to win the votes of ““centrists”” who are too sexist to vote for a woman.

Well yeah, it’s not newsworthy that a random person died. The newsworthy part is ‘holy shit this baby lived somehow.’

You almost have a point but to get there you have to ignore the entire actual context of the conflict. It’s not just killing because of killing, there’s an entire ongoing expansionist colonial project making one party clearly the aggressor.

I could finally find out how chewing 5 gum supposedly feels

Did everybody just decide to not read the last part?

Be aware of your people’s worth so the world doesn’t have to remind you.

It’s basically ‘hey, remember how shitty hiring is? keep that in mind and try to keep people you have.’ It’s not an example of “this is a good thing to try doing.”

Yes that’s their point. “no ethical consumption under capitalism” There are no degrees of evil or complicity, shut up and let me continue to not think about what I’m paying for when I buy nestle chocolate. You can’t be perfect so trying to cause less harm is just a distraction.

You know, right before lockdown I was hanging out with a friend and I said something to the effect of ‘eh, I do feel like people are overreacting a bit but at least this should normalize mask wearing when you’re sick like in parts of Asia.’

Right now I have a very similar feeling hunch of ‘at least this should kill the myth that republican presidents are better for the economy’ and I can’t wait for the american people to once again show me just how stupid they are.

The secret option is the real electrician’s hammer, some lineman’s pliers.

You can do more stuff with the straighter claw on the rip hammer, like whack it into something to use it as a wedge.

Completely irrelevant to whether or not FSD is safer than human drivers.

You’re right, 5 deaths isn’t newsworthy in the context of tens of thousands killed by human drivers each year.

Is it worse than human drivers is the only relevant point of comparison, which the article doesn’t make.
