Well we’re not quite where we can replace it, and won’t be for a while. Keep in mind that oil isn’t just burnt for transportation, we use it to make plastics too. And steel. And a ton of other shit.

Why does a car company make the US government money but not people with degrees?

They both do, and the people with degrees make even more money by paying interest on their crushing debt!

Depends. Will this save on all the oil wasted to ship new oil into the UK?

Look, it doesn’t matter what you want the movement to be about or what you think TERFs are. The reality is that TERF isn’t a self-given label, radical feminist isn’t a self-given label, and more than a few notable individuals in the feminist movement (a movement that, at its core, is about womens’ rights) are misandrist. This is a reality that, no matter how much you pretend is fake, is still real.

And if feminists spend more time denying this reality than actively changing it, the movement itself won’t change, nor will its general perception.

Yeah, basically the maximization of the ‘glass slab’.

I heard ‘jail’ too.

As the other guy said: we can’t. We still need oil to set up the infrastructure needed for a net-zero future, which means we’re still forced to use oil for a while longer.

Oil will become prohibitively expensive at least a decade before reserves start running dry, so we’ll be driven to net zero before that anyway.

There was apparently some homoerotic subtext in the Netflix special? Not sure.

It would be funny to watch though

NES -> SNES.

Pretty sure EU regulations allow for batteries that are internal, but reasonably user-replaceable. The Switch’s battery is one of those.

ARM chips have seen massive gains too. If they use a sufficiently powerful chip, then I’m sure they could easily match the performance of a PS4.

lol you just need to let ‘em talk and maybe mention trans rights or men. Eventually, their bigotry will spill out because they can’t really control their own hatred.

The problem with feminism is that far too many loud bigots were allowed to call themselves ‘feminists’ and openly air their bigotry for far too long. At this point, the name’s been so thoroughly poisoned that even some people who are feminists, at least in ideology, no longer want to associate with the term.

lol I love how you’re using ‘TERFs’ as a scapegoat while ignoring that TERFs are, quite literally, Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminists. They’re not ‘masquerading’ as anything, they are feminists and have always been. They’re also mostly women, which means these specific women are being held accountable for their own behavior. To claim otherwise is to infantilize these women and take their agency away from them.

Lemmy and its ‘77% male userbase’ can hardly be blamed for the real and enduring shortcomings in the feminist movement itself. It’s not a problem that should simply be ignored or handwaved away if feminists want to get rid of the stigma their movement carries.

The reason I’m not giving examples is because I’m simply here to say that your example was garbage.

Dude, you’re the one trying to paint Einstein as some sort of authority on the subject. He’s the same guy who urged the US to begin work on the Nuclear Bomb, which we both know the results of.

He was a smart man and a great scientist, but a great judge of moral character he was not.

I’m not ‘shitting on Einstein’, I’m simply saying he’s not some sort of political or economic expert. If he were, he’d be famous for those as well as for being a pre-eminent physicist.

Giving weight to someone’s opinion on one topic just because they’re an expert on a different topic is highly inadvisable.

Well if Biden can deliver a soft landing, then Trump’s chances are basically fucked.
