Buy less, travel less, demand wfh.

No political will promote slowing the economy down even though that’s the simplest, most straightforward way to slow our pollution output. Our stockmarket and retirement plans are based on infinite growth, which is unfeasible even without climate change being a factor.

Also, as far as resource costs go, planting tree is more efficient at capturing carbon then any industrial scrubber. Research should still be done, but anyone trying to sell a scrubber plant is just fishing for VC funds.

They’re not really right wing. Very suburban, sheltered and privileged, but I’ve never heard them talk politics. I can say extra privileged because one of them wanted to put an Battlefield sound board in their car. Sure, that’s what you want. Making it easy to accidentally make the sounds of gunfire if you ever get pulled over by a cop because your taillight is out.

As far as star trek goes, they’re rather talk about the power output of the phasers then character arcs. They’re very basic.

I know a bunch of trekkies, a fandom around a post scarcity, pseudo communist utopia, embrace crypto despite it being an artificial scarcity concept that doesn’t really fix any of the issues of the preceding system. I make fun of them whenever nfts come up, including posting any negative nft news into the humor channel of their discord.

It does. Just not here.

You’re chart is missing American’s Army, which was funded by the government.

And you wont get enough allies to get anything done. This is what Divide and Conquer looks like. It’s only a half measure if you stop at the first accomplish. Let the populist get a taste of a social safety net again and they’ll want to push for more the next time.

Right wing vs left wing has always been relative to the status quo. Capitalism was left wing when feudalism was the norm. And now Regulated Capitalism is left wing compared the norm of Unregulated Capitalism.

The people who are bothered by OP are making imperfect the enemy of good. What they’re proposing is still progress.

I’ve never heard a right winger call for more regulation. They always blame their failures on too much regulation.

I’m confused by something. Isn’t this meme pretty far left compared to reality?

This isn’t a patrician issue. Both parties run geriatrics. Look at Trump.

They’ll never let another Jimmy Carter happen.

I mean, we know Biden wasn’t the worst option. He at least better then the actual worst option. Not saying much to be real though.

Does this happen? I think I’ve only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.

The energy would come from the trolley. The people would launch out at approximately the same speed as the trolley interacts with them and the trolley would slow down in response to how much kinetic energy was transferred to the people.

Self reporting here.

They sound like a bratty teenager. If we’re taking their comments at face value, they probably get a lot of praise from their friends with cheap digs at America even if the same problems exist in their own culture.

They do, but depending on context, Italian is the answer they really being asked. If an American asks another American about their background and they get an answer like Italian-American or American of Italian decent, they’ll get a funny look because the American part is implied.

Why are you being confrontational about this? Italian Americans aren’t claiming to have Italian citizenship. Their cultural identity has more to do with their cuisine and values passed down the family. It’s more than just a piece of land that’s shaped like a boot.

The fact that you’ve responded to me to focus on the animals but not on the people my comment is actually about is a perfect illustration of my point.

That’s all a narrative you created in your head. Besides, many of the same solutions that would protect endangered species would also protect marginalized people. You’re trying to make this into a Trolley Dilemmas for some reason. Who do you think are the ones buying dick powder made form Rhino horns?
