v true but i also dislike how biofuels get smorked into yet more CO2 which is kind of a problem rn

fair enough. better than waiting centuries and still having slavery codified 150 years after we did a whole civil war about things.

oops you posted irrelevant pedantics that verge on misinformation 😧

sure it’s distilled solar energy that cannot be renewed. relevant language highligted. no one “forgets,” this. literally no one. it’s just not relevant to a timespan less than millions of years. cheers! ☀️

as soon as we get ranked choice voting i’m starting a party whose whole platform is to shred the constitution and rewrite it every eight years. (open to suggestions on this timeline this part is mostly sarcasm)

what the heck is the purpose of license plates if not to be read so as to identify and prevent driving hazards?

here’s a hint: the constitution says nothing about license plates. (it also says absolutely nothing about assault rifles and other massively deadly weapons, coincidentally.) making appeals to this ancient ass document like it’s holy scripture is almost as cringe as referencing literal religious scripture when writing policy.

“but license plate readers are an infringement on my privacy—“ you know what else is an infringement? fucking cops who can read your plates, pull you over, and potentially fucken kill you because you didn’t perfectly perform the authoritarian script we impose on drivers in an already uniquely stressful situation, something that happens, especially when you happen to be a person of color. the cool thing about cameras is they don’t kill.

i want safe roads with safe drivers that kill fewer people per year. i want cops that interact with fewer people so fewer state-sponsored hate crimes happen. to that end, i’d take in any universe some cameras that can see my license plates and fine me over the authoritarian residing army we have in our streets today.

the constitution can eat dirt.

fiduciary duty requires that directors of corporations protect the interests of shareholders’ investments—including maximizing profits where reasonable and within the bounds of the law.

even if technically illegal on paper (which i’m not sure it is), so long as there is no enforcement or accountability, t-mobile and similar entities have literally no reason do do better. they are literally just holding up their end of the law.

in other words, this unfair treatment isn’t just one of many unfortunate flukes. it is literally baked into the system as a requirement.

counterpoint, learn nondestructive editing and you can use any image tool you want that supports it. IMO this is a far nore useful skill than investing time into one app that can’t even do nondestructive🥲

FIVE STATES HAVE BANNED RANKED CHOICE VOTING IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS

why the HECK am i just now learning about this???? and whenever i mention the need for strategic voting due to flaws with FPTP someone is always there to chirp at me to “just do RCV” as though i don’t know and no one is trying

so you mean to tell me not only are those people who are trying are failing, AND we are moving backwards?

we’re all going to fucking die, aren’t we

sort of, but i would support the mods if they tried to take action themselves.

the saddest downfall of a community was r/MURDEREDBYWORDS. used to be the funniest shit with the most beautifully crafted comebacks. but then poor moderation let politics start creeping in. the politics was fine and still funny at first. but politics gets engagement, it starts bubbling to the top, and then the quality of content took a nosedive while engagement remained high. now the community is totally derailed to the point that whenever i transitioned from reddit to fedi, i preemptively blocked whatever the parallel sub here was.

hated to see that comedy sub just become “republican bad,” and would hate to see the same happen here.
