I don’t see how these could possibly be bright enough to replace street lights.

What kind of healthcare system do they have in Japan? I actually have no idea.

Based if true

None of this has anything to do with this first-hand account as far as I can tell.

I think it’s fairly obvious. If we stop states from depriving people of food then there won’t be many famines. The color of paint on the tanks isn’t relevant, just that they’re crushing people under them.

Virtually ever modern famine was caused by a state. Frankly, I think famines can be avoided fairly easily under any economic system in modern times, thanks to technological improvements. All it takes is not deliberately and violently creating conditions of deprivation.

Simple. They refused to have adequate physical separation between cars and pedestrians. Happens every day.

Problem is the UK has some pretty crazy laws around libel.

I truly don’t get why people can’t still be spontaneous as adults. I still am but it feels like almost everyone I know is like this meme which makes it hard.

But my one or two friends who are down to hang at the last minute, we have a great time.

Right now I’m trying to convince all my friends they should just stop by my house randomly if they’re ever in the neighborhood but it’s become too taboo in our society.

Very cool. Evaporative cooling is neat in that it’s low-tech but it is often a bit climatologically awkward. It works great in dry climates, but then where do you get the water? And in humid climates you have the water supply but the cooling effect is greatly diminished. Still, there are certainly some places in the sweet spot where this may make sense

I imagine it would work great where I am in inland California but we couldn’t run it off or rainwater because we don’t get rain from ~ May - November. Still, in years with adequate water supply it’s a cool device.

Agreeing with communism = peak liberalism. Makes perfect sense.

I mean no (developed, non-indigenous) society has successfully implemented communism. I don’t think that should be a controversial statement. So is it that wild to say you don’t know how to implement it, even as a communist? The only reason it would seem that way is if you’ve taken the writings of communist thinkers not as theoretical proposals but as scripture that cannot be incorrect.

Keeps going to voicemail. Weird.

There’s nothing to check. Everyone knows the US isn’t a signatory to the ICC. What possible justification could there be to even look into?

Plus from my recollection he was pretty adamant about out. It wasn’t like “I doubt it’s possible but I’m going to turn over every legal stone just in case.” It was something he campaigned on doing.

I mean you’d have to be extremely stupid to think it’s legal to just arrest people without any domestic legal justification. Did he really not know?

I mean a lot of men (or other people attracted to femme bodies) like big boobs. Others don’t. It’s just personal preference. I wouldn’t say it’s purely a media thing.

Lol I wouldn’t know. Being awake at 6 isn’t something I’ve ever done voluntarily, let alone going for a run at that hour.

I mean it kinda is but the reality is people aren’t going to go backwards. However, that doesn’t mean we need to make the problem dramatically worse. I seriously doubt we’ll all be traveling this way but if we are it’s because we decided to value our convenience over the lives of the young and the poor.

Then they should study that directly rather than how to better waste huge amounts of fuel making the lives of the rich more convenient at the expense of everyone else’s survival.

More efficient than standard air travel? I seriously doubt that’s possible but I guess it would be less bad then.

I don’t really see how this could be used for anything else but even then it’s hard to see how the benefits would outweigh the harms of enabling climate arson.
