WELL LET'S SEE HIM WIGGLE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ONE

You assume though that the effort required to implement new solar is the same as replacing failed components. The cells may fail but the other infrastructure may last longer - maybe much longer. Putting in a new 5,000 panel solar farm on a hillside is a lot of work, replacing 5,000 panels (maybe so percentage also of inverters and other transmission/storage equipment) over the course of 20-30 years is much less work, because surveying, design, implementation, bring-up and probably a fair bit of manufacturing does not need to be done again.

Not ever going to watch this, not even at gunpoint

I think an increase in the militancy of the movement could be good, but this is just adventurism

I support Hamas and I support the military struggle against Israeli occupation to the hilt. The Palestinian people have the legal right to militarily resist occupation, and the October 7th attack is a realization of that (that of course has been widely maligned and lied about by Western media). I also think that there are right and wrong ways to approach this topic to maintain popular support for a protest movement in the west, and come off as bloodthirsty in respect to any issue and you'll lose people. You have to maintain a messaging that does not cede ground to incorrect Western narratives, though - so this requires some careful thought. Ultimately, those people who have no sympathy for the resistance and just want the fighting to stop have an incorrect position that must be challenged.

I also think it's uncomradely to be so hostile to our friends on HexBear. Some people on here always assume the worst and start laying in with the personal attacks and unkind words. I don't think it's acceptable. We should correct others where possible in a way that respects them.

Yeah we need to shoot this guy

Who is this moron?

The US could open the Egyptian border tomorrow, they could do 100 diplomatic things of various magnitudes to stop the IDF and get aid trucks in. A landing zone for American aid, guarded by the US military? Just wait for a Gulf of Tonkin to happen immediately warranting an American invasion. It's fucked lol

If anyone claims to be a cop of any variety and instructs you to do something other than identify yourself, unless they are in the act of detaining you you should just say no. If they call you, hang up lol. Don't trust cops.

If someone calls you and instructs you to put cash into a shoebox and give it to them, don't fucking do it lol. Pretty simple shit.

The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

They cannot do it any other way. The vertical integration, the monopolization, the ridiculous amount of advertisement, it's all a race towards a shrinking profit. Carve out a smaller niche for advertising with targeted ads (just run your ads for the people who will actually buy your product!) but all you're doing is saturating an almost critically saturated market of advertisers. As the margins continue to shrink, my guess is you'll see a very shitty "free" tier and some very expensive memberships. The "enshittification" continues
