People always point to the worst of the worst to justify the death penalty, but it’s not about them. It’s about us. I just picture people who support the death penalty the same as medieval peasants cheering on the gruesome torture and execution of a criminal like its some kind of entertainment. People need to do more introspection about what part of their personality they are feeding when they give in to the desire for vengeance. That’s not even taking into account that no justice system is perfect.

But… but it was the house that passed it… the house is currently run by republicans…

It should probably be expected that any country with the means will interfere in other countries elections. What bothered me most in 2016 was not so much what Russia did, but that we didn’t seem to have much of a response to it. And yes can we please support democracy and not authoritarians. I feel like the whole cold war was about capitalism vs communism when it should have been about democracy vs authoritarianism.

I don’t know much about investing, but i wonder if it would it be a good time to short those companies?

I wonder how much more energy it took to accomplish that compared to just shooting a rocket. Last I had heard railguns weren’t really feasible because of the absurd amount of energy they would require even with perfect efficiency.

For me, every time it suggests the correct base word, it gets the ending wrong, so I have to type out the whole word anyway. For example, if I want past tense it’ll suggest the present tense of the word.

I agree, but my understanding of it is that developing and announcing a long term plan for a company like that would cause the stock price to dip in the short term. Apparently that would be something shareholders could sue over, so even if some CEO wanted to do the right thing, they couldn’t. It comes down to the greed of people who don’t know and don’t care about the companies they’re invested in and their impacts on the world. They just want that money to come in every month.

Maybe I remember wrong, but wasn’t he coordinating releases of leaked dnc data with Roger Stone? I’m gonna assume anyone dealing with Roger Stone is not on the up and up…

They found classified documents at this location. Why the hell would they leave without opening every door? This seems very basic to me…

• goes to auschwitz
• talks about himself

He clearly learned nothing.

I doubt he would have said anything unless it matched the party line, so its not completely uninformative. The problem I see is that I’m pretty sure that this peace solution has been proposed in the past, and it was the Palestinians who rejected it.

That’s a much taller order than you make it sound. It’d probably be easier to figure out fusion.

Fusion is the first step to a post scarcity world. All the new technology, products, agriculture methods, ect. that would be made possible with abundant, clean energy would completely transform the world. I doubt solar and wind could ever provide enough to make those advances.

Just think about the amount of fuel one plane uses, then go look at flightradar24.com

If there was porn in libraries, then you would see a whole lot more teenage boys hanging out there.

So all war is genocide by that definition.

This video is basically them tattooing “backwards savage” on their forehead. There is no other conclusion. You could have the most justified cause there is, but doing this completely and utterly cancels that out.

Everything depends on scarcity. Supply and demand. There has to be unsatisfied demand otherwise prices would be too low for anyone to make any money… it’s a poorly designed system.

Tolerable work environment is at the top of my list. If I were to even consider working at an intolerable business, I would need to be paid enough to retire after a year. We have made it so that work is life, and also now retirement is very uncertain for most young people. There’s no way I’m gonna take an intolerable job that will go on indefinitely.

CFPB is a policing body. I guess they don’t count as part of the “Back the Blue”. Look who’s defunding the police now…

We all know the only difference here…
