Exactly. If want to stay connected to reality we should use historical analogies only. Remember when Maduro promised Venezuelans a better life, but life just got shitty instead. And instead of eating Nicolás Maduro they ate out of trash bins.

And he did give them a better life. They ate him because it served the movie’s plot. Also wtf was mufasa doing to make all the land more sunny? Was it that whole circle of life thing where he gets to eat his subjects?

Or because at that time they only knew white people so they assumed he looks like a person.

It doesn’t even have to be some subconscious ethnocentrism. It could just be someone painting what they know people to look like.

Democracy dumbs down civilization.

Also it requires shipping oil to fuel the mining operations needed to produce full scale renewable energy. But if we wait a little bit the quality of power output from the same mining inputs will improve which means renewable later requires less total mining than full scale renewable now, and so you will use less fuel to do that smaller amount of mining.

What people don’t realize is that the expense of renewable technology mostly is fuel. Fuel to mine it, fuel to move the raw materials, fuel to refine it, fuel to manufacture it, fuel to ship it to you. The total labor is quite small. So if taken on a specific case the financial perspective alone of a particular application of renewable vs conventional energy the numbers don’t add up then likely the renewable is less green. If you wait a little bit for the green cost to come down that indicates improved efficiencies and now it actually is green.

So the answer to make the world more green is not to shift our calculations to spend money on green solutions beyond financial sense. It’s to work on technology to lower green costs until it naturally makes sense and thereby also make it more green at the same time.

But at least the ships need a non-renewable source. And they are going to need some of it in every country they visit. How do we get oil to every country if not by ship? That’s a lot of pipelines if we go that route. But maybe that is the answer.

Professional thought minders want to control what you see. They can vote but don’t speak because the dishonestly of their thought control would be uncovered the second their motives enter conversation.

Once you see what you are not allowed to know you now know what you need to know. Look for other high positive comment high downvote threads and you’ll catch the pattern.

I’ll spell it out. At least one type of supressed info that might be at play here. There are minders here who work for the democrat party (like the organization). So if the democrats are in office you can’t criticize anything the government does even on an anarchy forum. Anyone here should know there isn’t a decent person in either of the political parties. Decency transcends working in that system. Yet a democrat government is beyond reproach on an anarchy forum even though they aren’t really our allies. Really they are within reproach in conversation because the commenters are real people and we know what’s up. But the workers bees can’t have it and they target suppression marked information with either bots or manual voting.

So that’s why there are downvotes. Someone in the current government did that. And there are thoughtless cowards here who think they have more responsibility to defend a left of center government (kind of) than to defend community self organization (which should be the higher value).

This is why pirating is justified. If you want your shows to last forever, torrent them, and keep them seeded.

It usually involves trying to start some shit with Russia.

If you think Rust has zero rough edges you might have drunk too much kool aid.

decicelsisus. It would only be 0.1kC when water is boiling. That’s not very fun.

Exactly. And you aren’t a terrorist after you win your country back. That’s like the British partnering with America to fight terrorism being ironic because of George Washington. Different era is different era. Whether people like it or not the Taliban run an actual government.

I think that cuck’s name is Whistlin Diesel.

It sounds like everyone but mods should be able to see voters. But of course they will use straw accounts. What if only votes on your own post/comment were revealed to you? Like some pointed out, they are already not anonymous to anyone who wants to try hard enough to get the data because of federation. So the question is who do we want to be able to see that data easily? It’s a GUI modification in any case. Who are we making the gui modification for?

Then I’m super for it. Might as well make what is available to a few try hards available to all easily.

For this user base it is the right answer. So many petty downvoters. On my site I’m considering a rule that would make it so you can’t be the vote that casts a comment into the negative without giving a reason, and then that reason would be turned into a comment. If something is worth downvoting then it is worth explaining why someone is wrong. If you can’t do that maybe you shouldn’t downvote. I don’t think you should have to do that every time. But if a comment is going to go negative someone should step up to the plate and bother to articulate. That way a comment can’t get hidden away from the public just because a petty mob that can’t even present an argument sees it as convenient if certain information disappears.

So in that case the downvoter who crossed it into the negative would not be anonymous.

War is a very sad and stupid thing.

That’s going to get sold on the internet.

But even with that margins are tight, so 99.5% of why your flight is expensive is that planes are not cheap to operate and fuel isn’t free. But we can pretend it’s all the other thing to maintain slave morality.

Also when was the last time an airline stock paid a dividend? I’m sure one of them pays dividends but most pay dividends never.

But on the plus side normal people can use air travel now.
