Yeah, this is something many climate advocates say - that it is better to keep the car you have - but I don’t think this is backed up by data at all. It’s very clear that that EVs are able to save more carbon emissions than in a fairly short period than you would save by not continuing to drive an ICE vehicle, with manufacturing included.
If we were going to have a simple rule, replacing all ICE vehicles today with EVs will be far better for the climate than keeping them.
I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those “legal affairs”.
That is really not true.
That’s also pretty true for people, unfortunately. People are deeply incapable of differentiating fact from fiction.
No, most of us are broke because we insist on ensuring that suburban mcmansions are the only places to really live. When you spend 30% on driving and 40% on housing, suddenly you are broke.
Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.
This thread demonstrates the idealogical purism and lack of pragmatic political expectations from leftists and progressives. There is literally nothing the Biden admin can do that will ever be enough because it doesn’t match some rosy fucking dreamland that only lives in your heads. Descheduling is huge, and signals the end of 100 years of madness with cannabis laws. If you want more, then we need to have more legislative power to implement it.
This is a fucking win, dumbasses.
What you are suggesting is a legislative action. The nation needs to provide enough legislative power to happen.
“hacker”
I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.
That’s not close to average life expectancy in the US.
Welp, civil war, escalating to nuclear war, starting 2026? See you all there.
IMO a tankie on the left is just a pure anti-west authoritarian cosplaying as a communist - the communism is largely window dressing and they are generally perfectly happy defending Russia (obviously not communist) or authoritarian nonsense from China and other communist countries.
This is apples to oranges. Fusion is not the same as fission. We simply don’t know the economics of a viable fusion reactor.
However, we do know fissions cost is heavily driven by safety and regulation. It is very reasonable to assume that fusion’s requirements in this area are distinctly smaller.
IMO guaranteed child welfare (including universal lunch) is 100% consistent with any major political idealogy that is internally consistent.
Libertarianism? The whole basis is the personal choice, autonomy, and the ethics of consent. Children fundamentally cannot consent. They still, however, individual agents. They simply are in a state where social order defines their outcome. As society, we must then take this to maximize their outcomes and ultimately their personal liberty - when they reach an age where they can operate with it.
Therefore, we have to choose between depriving others of a relatively small resource, or depriving children of a major resource: the nature of their ability to participate with full autonomy and personal liberty.
The choice, in my opinion, is very clear.
This is a proportional interpretation. The cost of data storage has absolutely plumetted since, say, 1990.
You have to leave incentives for people who are the ones who are going to create the jobs for all those people trying to climb the ladder.
Oh my god, FUCK OFF
It still doesn’t really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:
Oh fuck off dude.
Bonus points if you buy any direct from Mexico foods.
