They could quit.

Or maybe they can’t afford to quit, which is kinda why we need acts of protest

Because your diet sucks. A few months of eating only unprocessed food and you’d probably eat McDonald’s exactly one more time in your life

And I do specifically mean McDonald’s… It’s uniquely disgusting, even among fast food. It tastes like it’s reconstituted food scraps doped with sugar

This is so true. Look at Mamdani - he never apologizes for his stances, but all he talks about are freeze rents, free buses, free childcare, and how the rich are going to pay for it

We need to learn to shut the fuck up about praxis and work the material conditions. We need to win and loudly make things better, and win the trust of the common people

We need their trust, not their understanding. And it’s enough if they just learn to shut up about their bigotry, even just because every time they bring it up everyone glares at them

They do actually need competence. Marching around and acting like a menace doesn’t actually accomplish much but piss people off

Yep… All those Europeans getting high and mighty about how we need to “fix our county” need to realize they’re right behind us on the pipeline

This is a global problem

Gatekeep at the grocery store. It’s easier to resist eating a full tub of Oreos by deciding not to buy them in the first place

It’s easier to moderate what platforms you use than it is to resist their affect on you. Restrict where and how you are exposed to short form video and what kinds of social media you use

Also, take magnesium glycinate, but not on an empty stomach. Basically everyone with ADHD has a magnesium deficiency that makes the symptoms way worse

Would that have avoided the entire controversy? Who knows.

No, I know. If it didn’t happen here, she would’ve kept trying. She’s an instigator… Her essay wasn’t just fundamentalist Christian, it was full of straight up bigotry. Go read it if you don’t believe me… This was written to be offensive

University of Oklahoma student Samantha Fulnecky is going viral again after her mother’s identity was revealed. Her mother, Kristi Fulnecky, was a politician in Springfield, and she was forced to step down due to multiple lawsuits.

In 2017, two tax liens were filed against Kristi, but she claimed they were errors by the IRS. During the pandemic, she sued the Springfield and the city of Branson for pushing the mask mandate.

Samantha Fulnecky’s mother also sued the Springfield Public Schools over its reopening plan, demanding five days of in-person attendance for students. She has also made headlines for her online behavior, from threatening a police chief to blocking and sending legal letters to private citizens.

She comes from a long line of Karens, of course the first thing she does as an adult is stir up shit and play the victim

It wasn’t actually changed, they just decided to call it that now

That tracks. I mean, these boats would have to be refueled 20x to reach Florida, so they must all be Aquaman

I can’t side with utilitarianism for the example of killing a healthy person to harvest organs for multiple dying patients.

That’s because utilitarianism has a silent other half to the problem, which is something like confidence.

Can you judge the value of one life against another? Can you do it with accurate assessment of your own perception? How much harm is introduced to the equation if you’re wrong? How likely are you wrong?

Killing one healthy person to save 5 others doesn’t meet the utilitarian standard because you’re destroying one innocent life for parts. Parts that could maybe save others… But you can put a price on organs. You can’t undo the harm of killing someone

In fact, even considering it isn’t utilitarian. The time and energy spent on weighing the value of a life vs the value of the meat should be spent on looking for solutions

Even if there is no other solution no human can truly know that…

But sometimes the numbers do become statistics. Like the trolley problem… There is a very predictable result, if you knew of a way to stop the trolley there’s no need for considering it, and you have to make a snap decision. You have to weigh their lives against each other, knowing you have limited knowledge

But the more people on one set of tracks, the easier that math becomes. There’s no line - it’s all subjective. They’re not numbers, they’re people… But the bigger the number disparity, the easier it is to answer the question

And pulling the lever is competence check too. How sure are you that you understand the situation properly? Because maybe everything is fine, and you’re about to get someone killed out of your own stupidity

And to bring it all home… One life sure as hell isn’t worth the suffering and death of tens of millions. That’s easy math.

But is the situation that simple? Would the killing of one actually save millions? I sure as hell don’t know. It’s very situational

So if someone else pulls the lever I think it’s perfectly ethical to support them, hoping that their judgement is correct, while also not being confident enough to ever pull the lever yourself

They’re becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won’t be long before someone tests it as a legal argument

Well, pugs aren’t really working dogs. Maybe someone could record him being derpy for tik tok or something?

Theoretically? Probably, I rarely touched windows outside of Windows centric shops. Practically, you’re going to have to make that a much more blurry line

There’s going to be times you have to deal with Windows. That can be as little as “effectively never” depending on your path and choices, but if you’re a hardliner it’s going to close doors on you just for picking a dumb hill to die on

No it’s not. Trump is obviously not calling the shots, I’d like to hear who is running the admin on camera

Pardon from who? Does the ICC even have a mechanism like that?

What he actually said was he would release it if they wanted to release it. That he’d have no problem with that

If we had real journalism in our county, the reporters would have asked who “they” were, since he basically said it’s not his decision

At this point, you just seem obscenely delusional to me. What you’re saying is so far beyond reason I don’t even know where to start.

You are not informed enough to have an opinion on the topic. I’m sorry, you’re just spewing nonsense, you need to keep your opinions to yourself

You keep jumping back and forth between biofuel and biomass. You can bury solid biofuel, you can pump liquid biofuel, both are stable if you put them somewhere without much oxygen

Biomass is something different… Do it right and you can just use it as fertilizer. Just grow a bunch of algae and spray it over dry land… It’s that easy. It’ll feed the soil, which locks up a lot of carbon back into the food chain. Stack wood in a desert, who cares. There’s so many better ways to do this

And CO2 is a fucking gas. Yes, it’s liquid under pressure or at low enough temp… But it does not stay that way! We live in Earth, and most cavities aren’t able to stay pressurized without leaking

Do you work for them or something? Holy shit

Of course volumetric density is what matters. That and long term stability

You know what is really good at storing carbon underground forever? Fossil fuels. And if they can pull it out of the ground, they should have no problem putting it back in… It’s a lot simpler

Lol now that’s a bold move. Even better chance for a progressive to come out of the woodwork and snatch it that way
