Which grow lights do you use? I went with basically full spectrum/daylight grow lights because my red/blue didn’t seem to be giving my plants enough light. But I’d love to cut down on the amount of light in my room. And that purple just looks cool.

Is this the most recent Kingdom Come 2? I’d been thinking of getting it myself, I play great stories over and over (RDR2, Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2). But I’ve literally played them all so much that I’m about to be tired of replaying them. So I need a new game to 100% complete, this and STALKER2 have been on my list, but S2 hasn’t been released for ps5.

No offense, but this fucking bullshit about us solving the climate crisis through small personal action while massive polluters continue INCREASING THEIR CO2 OUTPUT and fucking sucking up all available freshwater while they keep fucking telling us to change our meals is fucking absurd.

Yeah, why waste electricity for something you can do, like, in half a second once/month?

lol

They definitely will not.

Goddamnit I’ve been looking forward to this game and I thought it was coming out on PS5. One of the most significant bummers of the year.

SIXTH PARAGRAPH?! They might as well have not included it in the article! Who reads SIX paragraphs?!?

One. Two, TOPS! In a perfect world the headlines would just be followed by pictures and no words because words are booorrrrinnnngg

A VC firm. Should tell you everything you need to know

I’m with you on the whole reality being much more boring bit, but simple? I don’t think so.

All of our problems are interconnected. I find it hard to talk about any issue without having to work backwards up the cascading flowchart of money to corruption to capitalism to heirarchy and the deep indoctrination into these systems of control.

And I don’t mean in a conspiratorial way, I mean in the way that any issue you point out has larger, macro issues the feed into these more specific micro issues. In short: the fruit is poisoned because the tree is poisoned because the seeds were poisoned because the farmer was poisoned and the soil itself has taken on the poison and spreads to every other tree.

Well, I’ll give you an update here as I have boots on the ground:

They cut back on the amount of cops on the platforms now—but now every single exit door has a private guard (one of those rent a cop companies). So now they’re bringing privatized security into the mix. But there are still cops on the platforms! Just not as many at the door because they’ve hired some security guards to have the same effect an MTA person has, which means they can’t really do shit if you don’t let them stop you.

So a slightly different way to waste money.

The second half if most important. It doesn’t produce enough electricity. Renewables are getting cheaper and cheaper and are taking up the mantle to take over majority of power production in some nations. But it is harder to monetize and can be democratized and made pretty easily. It’s like weed. It can be taken away from bigger producers and therefore there is significant push back/lobbying against it.

This commentator shows it about a minute or so into the video.

See, sometimes the best scientist needs to ask the simplest questions no one thought to ask.

Here is your Nobel Prize

How does the fact that he accidentally streamed himself watching gay porn —and then tried to blame, I believe, Hezbollah, if I’m remembering correctly—not come up every single time someone mentions his name? It should be the second half of his introduction, like accolades or a PhD

How are we already letting this fucking narrative take root?

TRUMP DID NOT WIN SOME EVER-IMPORTANT SWING VOTER. He kept his base while democratic support shriveled. This is the exact recipe to get the same fucking thing happening in four years where democrats refuse to offer anything but some “centrist” bootlicking bullshit.

Don’t let them spread this fucking bullshit

Ah. A ghost boy born to Orange parents. Genetics are, like, magic

Depends, are you a cop?

I think part of the problem is that liberals don’t actually think we live in an inherently just and fair world. But that they think that capitalism, corporatism, and “stability” at any cost (even if that stability is a downward slope to fascism/oligopoly and ecocide) can still be “just” and “fair.”

Look at—and I hate to use Bernie as the example, but it’s relevant—how Bernie’s kinda progressive policies were treated by the party. They refused to let him win. And then pseudo-“adopted” the outward appearance of those policies to win voters. If his policies aren’t harmful enough to refuse to endorse them…why would you not just let him be president? Why stop him and take facsimiles of his policies? Is it because they knew they would win them votes but they’d never in a million years enact those policies? What was scaring them about him winning with his (again, very moderate) policies?

This is just the most recent and telling example. And then…I mean, the genocide thing. Not supporting a genocide is a pretty goddamn easy ask. But they were probably bleeding voters because they just wouldn’t.

These are not big, crazy things to ask for. But stopping them and enacting helpful policies was unthinkable to them. Why is that. Because more than anything, they would protect the rotting corpse of capitalism and the global hegemony over anything that might help people. And that comes back to their fucking billionaire backers, I assume? They are the ones who stand to lose scraps of their money and power.

I mean, I have to assume that is the answer. But it can’t be denied, I don’t think.

It’s not about overthrowing the government. Local action to protect vulnerable peoples, mutual aid. The US Govt can’t be “overthrown.” But local enacting of harmful policies can be stopped.

That’s kinda the problem with the US. People can’t just all travel to the centrally located capital. Look at how the republicans have continually tried to “send it back to the states” where they can wash their hands of, say, outlawing abortion. Focus on your area, find mutual aid groups to support those being harmed by these laws. That is how you can effectively fight creeping fascism. They can put down one centrally located demonstration no problem. But they would have a much harder time fighting every town. (Psst This is also good advice in your own town. Spread out, and be more effective. Move around, don’t stay all together. Not when you’re acting, and not when you’re fleeing)
