Fractional-reserve banking. Most people have no idea what it is, probably a good thing. You could argue that it’s not a “secret”, but most people aren’t aware of it regardless. I don’t think most people would be fond of grinding for $15 an hour if they knew banks could just lend money they don’t actually have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

The key word is “majority”. I think IPFS will gain more popularity moving forward especially if fascism and censorship continue to rise.

“climate disruption”? lol 🤡

This image does a good job at making me realize we have explored basically nothing on the moon. SO much more to explore, yet we act like there’s no point trying to send more astronauts to the moon for decades. Please, increase NASA budget more.

The study falls short having no comparison to non-single people who are insecure. If the percentage of insecure non-single people is also 78% then being single has no impact on insecurity.

Name an activism campaign that worked and you support.

Here’s a chat GPT response for your boring question:

“One successful activism campaign that I support is the #MeToo movement. The #MeToo movement has brought attention to the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault, encouraged survivors to speak out, and sparked important conversations about consent and gender equality. It has led to increased awareness, policy changes, and accountability for perpetrators in various industries.”

No, activism is about taking part in making a real change. If anyone really wanted to make a real change they’d have to give up their freedom. This doesn’t change anything, carbon emissions will still increase.

Then they’re going to just pay some people to clean it off, cost more money, consume more energy. Publicity stunt.

Whaling has caused irreparable harm to ocean ecosystems. We only recently learned that whales contribute largely to carbon sequestration due to what you wrote. Again, people who dismiss iron fertilization as a legitimate solution are a major concern. We need solutions to be implemented NOW.

We are already geoengineering whether we like it or not. We just aren’t good at it, and we’re heating up the climate rapidly. Look at how much carbon dioxide we’ve put into the atmosphere. We don’t have a choice, doing nothing isn’t an option, hoping people stop being greedy is not an option.

What you don’t seem to understand is that we don’t have time for that. Unfortunately rewilding will not happen, human greed is too strong, and everyone wants their own back yard. We need rapid and effective ways to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere NOW, and iron fertilization may be able to start that process. People can’t even stop eating beef for fucks sake, and we know that’s destroying the Amazon rainforest.

it has been discussed to death with no new arguments on either side

And alas, we continue to put more CO2 into the air and the planet keeps warming.

Amazing how you get downvoted with no reply even though your comment is the truth. People who claim to be environmentalists who are also against nuclear energy are seriously dumb.

The irony is that your negative comment ultimately supports them doing so because you’re against any solution, but you do not bring any viable alternative into the discussion. Just stopping carbon emissions isn’t enough, the can of worms is wide open, we need active solutions to sequester carbon dioxide rapidly.

That what conservatives ultimately want, the working poor to stay in their place.

Making the ocean more productive is not polluting.

Gaben’s last dying wish is to make every game work on Linux and donates $1 billion to making it happen.

I tried using your workflow, got this LOL

The grass looks like it’s attempting to strangle her LOL
