So he’s trying to declare Game Over to avoid accountability? Fuck that.

climate skeptic propaganda

Skeptics are people who don’t believe things until they see facts. Denying climate change requires the rejection of overwhelming facts. That’s not skepticism, it’s wilful stupidity.

Farage is opposed to net zero because it will make us less reliant on imported fossil fuels. Reduced global demand for fossil fuels is very bad for Russia’s balance of trade.

The other end of that is just as bad. The Saudis raise cattle in the desert because their government wants to encourage its citizens to consume more cow’s milk (you can also buy camel’s milk in supermarkets but it’s very much an acquired taste). There are vast structures to provide shade, and misting systems to keep the cattle cool, all of this in one of the hottest desert environments on earth. The farms are manned by low-paid TCNs who live in abysmal conditions. And the water? Saudi Arabia is mining subterranean aquifers at a mad rate, and it’s not in any way sustainable. So both ends of the supply chain are wasteful abominations.

Shutting down the irrigation of all golf courses would be a big win too.

And if you thought there was some natural end point to enshittification, here’s your evidence that there’s no such thing.

An alarming number of them believe that they are conscious too, when they show no signs of it.

On a side note regarding chamberlain

That’s a revisionist view, unspported by evidence in his contemporaries’ diaries, notes and official documents. What there is evidence of, though, is a number of people, many in his own party, observing that Chamberlain was naive and out of his depth. His main political experience prior to being PM was in Birmingham local politics. He was a schmoozer who prided himself on his dealmaking. He had no idea what he was doing when it came to international politics, and his party had a large pro-Nazi faction. He was also digustingly cynical about his sell-out of Czechoslovakia: “A far-away country of which we no little.”

Churchill was not popular with the Conservatives, but he was no ditherer.

Kill off crypto mining and you’ll save even more. Charge a premium for use of LLMs and you’ll be orders of magnitude less wasteful.

Switzerland has no interest in provoking Washington.

They’re probably laundering Trump’s ill-gotten gains.

Most popular user mod ever.

That category also includes a number of things that will lead to the deaths of large parts of the US population.

So what’s the great challenge with blocking it phoning home, or even better, subtly fucking with the data it sends back? For example, Winnie the Pooh-themed fisting videos.

I just want to know who provided them with funding and other support.

Rights are unchangeable based on circumstances.

Absolutely false.

They can never be revoked.

They’re regularly revoked in all developed countries, mainly as the result of criminal proceedings. Unless you think that prisoners are afforded the same rights as the rest of us?

And the Enlightenment notion that there are inalienable rights endowed by the Creator is about as quaint as the idea that there’s a Creator. Rights are ideals that must be continually fought for and expanded, not the gift of a beneficent Alpha Male in the Sky

In the sense that it’s flagrant bullshit, yes.

“It’s not entrapment if it isn’t a person doing it!”

Just open the felching hatch and have a spittoon handy.

OK, so if a group is small enough, it’s OK to abuse them and deny them their rights?

What’s your threshold? 1%? 10%?

What continues to amaze me is the animosity towards trans people by the TERFs. They’re like religious zealots. It’s depressing to see such spite empowered by law.
