At the very least, us 10%ers could be advocating for things that lower the carbon cost of our lifestyle, such as zoning reform.

Note that I’m not talking about reducing the quality of our lifestyle. I’m talking about maintaining or improving the quality while making it more efficient.

Flying once very likely puts you in that top 10%. Remember, the bottom 50% are subsistence farmers from Africa etc. living on like $1000/year.

And half the time they get mad when you point it out.

Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up’s table

Stop. Giving. Trump. So. Much. Credit.

I’m not saying Putin doesn’t have kompromat on Trump. Hell, he probably does! But it doesn’t fucking matter because Trump is so inherently irredeemably evil all on his own that he’d be doing exactly the same shit anyway!

By suggesting that Trump was coerced you are whitewashing Trump’s evil. Stop it!

That quote could’ve ended seven words earlier and been just as accurate.

Adam and his removed band of bourgeois cronies

Weren’t they actual aristocrats, not bourgeois?

Check out SailGP. It’s got some flaws, but they did actually manage to design a sailboat race that goes fast enough to actually be interesting to watch in real-time.

if Signal ceased operations in Denmark over its refusal to work with law enforcement

To be fair, the fact that that’s even technically possible means the developer has too much control over it and it isn’t decentralized enough.

The problem is that more simple minded people who are actually conservative, as they want to conserve society as it is, will easily fall for the propaganda and vote for a party that is out to destroy what they want to conserve.

The real problem is that “conserve society as it is” was always a lie, unless the “as it is” you’re talking about happened to be monarchy. Conservatism, as an ideology, was founded in support of monarchism. A society run by an aristocratic elite has always been the thing they’re trying to conserve.

I remember hearing about that, but I never got around to really looking into it. Can hard drive firmware be infected by data on the disc and/or commands sent over SATA, or is it the kind of attack you need to attach test probes to the controller board or desolder the ROM chip to execute?

Yeah, definitely no genuine risk of Chinese college students getting their visas cancelled and renditioned to El Salvador.

I think people in China might have this attitude because to them, it usually is unsafe, miserable, and underpaid. There is no proper unionization in China, and no OSHA, so it’s always bad.

Do you really think Trump won’t be shipping union organizers off to CECOT? “Next they came for the trade unionists,” after all.

Returning?

That sounds like an aspirational goal, not an enforceable rule.

I feel like this regime might be evil enough to get Joker to quit paying his taxes.

I can’t wait until Trump pisses off the world enough that they fight back and he is eventually tried for his crimes against humanity. I can’t wait to shit on your grave you evil fuck.

This savior fantasy isn’t going to come true. If you want it to happen, you’re gonna have to do it yourself.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m looking for, but my google-fu (or rather DDG-fu) is failing me. That’s why I’m asking for help.

You’d think an appropriate chart would come up in a simple image search and not require archive.org. I don’t think it’s been memory-holed; I think I can’t figure out the right search terms.
