Democrats scramble to reach voters after Florida cancels mail-in ballot requests

  • Also cancels out poor Black & Hispanic Democrat votes tho.

    • Biden’s Tar Heel target for 2024: Turn N.C. blue

  • Much of the South would be. Black people make up over 1/3 of the population.

    • Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds

  • "Fascism" = literally anything I disagree with rofl

    You're like the Fox News idiots blathering on about how everything is socialism

  • "Smoking-related diseases" are just cancer and heart disease, mostly.

  • Well there's really no safe level of anything. Literally everything you do increases your odds of dying. It's all about proportion. Breathing doesn't increase your odds of dying very much.

    The conversation around nicotine is severely lacking in comparisons of scale. It's all like "IF YOU SMOKE LITERALLY ONE CIGARETTE YOU WILL DIE OF HORRIBLE CANCER" which is a ridiculous thing to be putting out there. I get the intent, it's because cigarettes are addictive and smoking one usually leads to smoking more, but it really makes it difficult to get a sense of how harmful cigarettes actually are at lower dosages.

    That first study you linked was a good one in this regard, but the summary still couldn't help but tend towards "you smoke at all, you will die". A graph would be helpful.

    Actually, I'll just make one.

  • Can we ban the "hahaha I want to die" teenager edginess? It wasn't funny in the middle ages, it's not funny now.

  • The IPCC are a bunch of ineffective wishful thinking idiots.

    Cut subsidies to meat. Tax carbon. That's the only way you can get meaningful demand-side action: through a response to supply-side actions.

  • I started smoking as a teenager because I thought it would make me look cool and get girls.

    And I was totally right.

  • Might actually be the case, some studies have suggested that smokers are much less expensive to society than nonsmokers because they die like 20 years younger

  • In both of these cases, and in fact regarding a lot of things, climate activists are going at this TOTALLY FUCKING BACKWARDS.

    OF COURSE we're boned, we asked people to actively make their own lives worse. We should have known that was never going to happen.

    Whats the actual, practical solution? Science, same as it always has been. Lab grown meat. Electric vehicles & better urban transit. Renewable energy.

    The solution is not to make people's lives worse but to design ways that will reduce emissions without requiring any actual sacrifice from everyday people (except higher prices). Because everyday people will not sacrifice. It will never happen.

  • Dedicating time researching a magic pill isn’t actually solving the problem today

    Dedicating time researching magic pills solves all kinds of problems. Saved several billion lives just a couple of years ago, did you forget?

  • "if everyone would just " is possibly the most dangerous phrase amongst climate activists

    Everyone will not just . They will not. It will not happen. It is not worth considering or wasting energy on.

    HUMANS DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT.
