Same! Here’s the video for anyone wanting to relive it.

Yeah, America was super into the Nazis before WWII. Many businesses leaders dealt directly with Hitler.

It’s crazy how people have forgotten. The Hindenburg was even a Nazi air ship but that never gets mentioned along with that tragedy.

Oh no! AI! Experience this dramatic irony for me!

You squeeze the lime in the coconut.

No resistance! That’s why ICE shot those people!

This guy clearly didn’t do any research on the street.

You either die a start up or live long enough to see yourself become Google.

I kinda disagree that education correlates with empathy. Plenty of people in very high places of the defense industry have advanced STEM degrees. Most people working in the American government have degrees from highly regarded universities. All the people you can name that are doing sketchy shit right now went to an Ivy League school.

Idk, maybe most people become more empathetic with education, but it’s definitely not a law of nature that education will absolutely make you more empathetic.

I can’t remember where I found it, but there’s a paper or book somewhere that basically states that, in systems of oppression, exceptions to the law for a select elite are not only common, but fundamental to how systems of oppression work.

If anyone is interested, there’s a phenomenal season of blow back that covers the Vietnam war.

Personally, I prefer more time tested, traditional antidepressants.

Like cocaine.

The only people worried are the wealthy because the only people served by the system for the past few decades have been the wealthy.

“The system will collapse!!” Oh the system that only offers welfare to its wealthiest members? The system that refuses to adopt wildly popular policy? The system that’s failed to guarantee livable wages? The system that won’t adopt universal healthcare? The system that won’t enshrine equal rights for anyone other than white men? The system currently threatening life on earth with it’s reckless commitment to fossil fuels? The system that’s allowed it’s infrastructure to crumble?

Wealthy people built a system that benefits no one and act surprised when no one cares about its potential collapse.

If that blows your mind then think about this: As the universe expanded after the Big Bang, it cooled from unimaginably high temperatures. In principle, this suggest that there could have been a very short window much later, tens of millions of years after the Big Bang, when the background temperature of the entire universe was capable of sustaining life everywhere. Some physicists have suggested this might have created a brief, universe-wide “habitable epoch,” though this remains theoretical.

I’m not an expert, so this is probably not a muture understanding, but it’s cool to imagine a universe where life was incredibly abundant.

Edit: I got this idea from a video, and I found it! Please transfer all criticism of my comment to this video.

Who knocks for the knocker?

At this point, it’s economically irresponsible not to transition to renewables, even from a conservative, market-focused perspective. Fossil fuel power plants require ongoing fuel purchases to operate. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar do not.

Once installed, renewables generate electricity without the continuous cost of buying and burning fuel. That difference fundamentally changes the economics. When you factor in the long-term savings from not having to purchase a resource that must be consumed to produce power, the financial case for renewables becomes difficult to ignore.

Renewables also have the potential to change how we think about energy forever. We’d never have to have a conservation mindset concerning energy use. Can you imagine what could be possible if you didn’t have to worry about the cost or ammonunt of energy you need to perform a task?

That’s always been hacking lol.

There should have been strikes after citizens united. I don’t think it’s too late, but now it feels like a scramble to organize.

They go up so fast 🥲

“Somebody”

Could?

MY hero!
