Yup. I think it's fair to say someone driving a gas guzzler SUV needs to make a little more effort to help with global warming... get an EV or better yet, take transit.

But with electrical stuff, there exists green power that's cheaper than the alternatives, it's the industry's fault for not making effort on that. I'm not the fucking power company.

It's gotta be a shared responsibility on this instead of finger pointing. I'm taking transit and fighting tooth and nail against my employer's stupid RTO policies (while looking for a job elsewhere). I'm doing my part on the things I can control and I expect industry to do the same.

Keep telling yourself that Americans aren't the weirdos of the world LOL.

Fallacious reasoning. I could also reference Stalin, breadlines, and the fact that the greatest famines in human history were the result of the authoritarian nature of socialism.

We could discuss the pros and cons of specific policies but instead the "socialist" kool-aid drinkers just tend to rant about capitalism = bad and therefore socialism = good without any grasp of any nuance or willing to do any critical thinking.

For example, with ethanol growing corn pulls carbon out of the air, burning the ethanol of course returns it back. It's carbon neutral, which is significant because Global Warming is a real thing. Pulling oil from the ground and burning it is obviously not carbon neutral. Ethanol is a much better fuel than burning oil.

Amazon was facing an anti-trust lawsuit: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/09/ftc-sues-amazon-illegally-maintaining-monopoly-power

But something has changed in the last year, so now it's drill, baby drill and corporations like Amazon can bribe the government to look the other way on their anti-competitive practices.

You've probably been convinced "both sides are the same" because that is the belief of your group. But it's in the the nature of cult behaviour to deny reality to conform to the group. Which is what the phrase "drinking the koolaid" is in reference to.

Thinking everything is a "hellscape" and only those in your group are enlightened enough to see a better way (those outside the group are "ignorant") is what most people refer to as "drinking the koolaid".

Modern "socialism" is at best a grift, at worst a cult.

Tends to be the way things go. You see the flaws in something you believed in and go too far to the extreme opposite direction.

Finding common cause with an enemy of your own country is treason. Nazis are a political group of another country our country went to war with. Canada won and the Nazis lost. The fact the war was a long time ago doesn't change much, they're simply finding common cause with losers from another country.

So they are treasonous losers.

Gul Dukat is Cardasian tho.

They added chromecast to mine this year which has been useful.

Same. There's a lot of options in open source software, and so I try different applications until I figure out which I like best. Then apt sorts out how to make it all work.

Also... the future kinda sucks.

If you're criticizing a fictional woman that was written by a man, are you criticizing women, or criticizing how men write women?

As long as they never hire women to write movies amirite? :P
