I think you’ve found your answer.

It’s interesting watching the discussion in this thread evolving and polarizing. Yesterday the discussion started as ‘nuclear is one solution in a portfolio of solutions to combat climate change. vs. nuclear is always bad.’ and developed into ‘nuclear is good and you’re dumb. vs. nuclear is bad and you’re evil’.

I’m typing this on a device that I carry around with me all day, who’s entire purpose is to collect as much data as possible and deliver it back to the company I bought it from. All in order to influence me to buy more of their stuff. In a way, yeah capitalism is always in the room with me. It kinda sucks.

While true, it requires time and money to get a case before the court. Which most people don’t have. If your rights require you to invest your time and money against a much larger adversarial party in court, then it’s not your rights that are being protected in the first place. Right now Big Tech is more worried about us exercising our rights instead of being afraid of trampling on them in the first place.

If you believe that, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Just gave me an idea, make a deadpool on what species will replace humanity. I’ll just hold onto the pot until we find out what species wins.

The people in power actually taking climate change seriously, and not just in a tragedy of the commons type of way. I mean actually working together to slow it down or reverse it.

Would you look at that, Israel said that Hammas was using it as a base of operations.

[s] It’s almost like Israel has labeled every Palestinian living in Gaza whose over five years old as a member of Hammas. Hammas must be doing something right to recruit all of them at such a young age. [/s]

If she’s the right age, Teach her The Game. It’s a brain virus game.

Rule number 1 of The Game, you can not think about The Game. When you think about The Game you lose.

Rule number 2, when you think of The Game you have to say that you’ve lost The Game. Ideally loudly and publicly.

Rule number 3, after losing the game you get 30 minutes grace period to stop thinking about it before The Game starts again.

Rule number 4, once you have learned about the game you may either play the game or cheat.

Murica!
