If you're being targeted by 5 eyes and you and your group don't know enough about tech to set up your own local communication servers or going serverless / not using internet, you're already caught or known about
Not all English speakers are from the "west", since it's a lingua franca.
You literally put in that the only option in developed countries is factory farmed meat, which is also not true. There's even European countries where the factory farming of the USA isn't allowed, and plenty of developing countries where it's encouraged.
you imply by saying only developed countries have this option, as if developing countries don't, and for some reason bring up fucking scavanging as one of developing countries alternatives? Really? You think that lowly of them that just classic old ranching didn't come to your mind????? The fuck dude. You just pulled a "those kids in Africa" or "the doctor is the male nurse" moment even if you didn't mean to. You clearly haven't traveled much.
The majority of humans don't scavange meat from already dead animals, even in poorer countries wtf
Soy Salvadoreño y nadie en mi familia ni los vecinos ni el pueblo estaban comiendo animales muertos ni cuando tenían zapatos. Chele morongon, que crees tan bajo de los pobres???
(Btw, I'm opposed to caged chicken egg cultivation, and even had my own chicken in the past before I couldn't anymore for eggs. Now I just pay the premium and researched which were the most ethical eggs in the store available. Happy hens make better eggs anyway. I'm just pointing out we're not the only ones that raise animals for consumption in nature).
Didn't know much about this community, but honestly it gets some of my respect for pushing against the current main narrative.
Violence isn't necessarily always a bad thing - otherwise, Europe and Japan would look drastically different today.
Leaving out that the reporter was a mass reporter likely stirring up trouble, I think it's natural in dire and extreme times for people to wish for more extreme actions to happen to evil people. It's not as of people wishing that will necessarily do it (just in case, I wish for enough money to buy a house and retire with the basics), it's just a way for them to vent the frustration they have at Injustice they can't otherwise do anything about.
Not to mention silencing the side that wishes death against those advocating for the death of others always seemed to be... Hypocritical to me.
So in all, I think this community's admins did good. If people left over that, maybe it's for the better not to have them.
... Do you mean turn OFF everything at night? Because you do realize that the output of solar power at night, you know, when the solar part is missing, is zero, right???
And wind can't get anywhere near the difference, even assuming it's running at 100%. Not to mention many things need to continue running at night. Like hospitals.
And that's before I even got to the absurdity of tech companies using computational work as a sink. Computational work doing what, exactly? Rendering 3D farting fairies??? And that's not even getting into how they're the main cause of increased energy usage recently preventing us from catching up with demands in the first place, mostly because of AI.
And the back up batteries only at sensitive sites - so you just expect people to freeze to death in Winter or during a heatwave? To not eat because they can't heat anything up? What about comms. Most towers are in places where there's not enough space for local battery sites. "Mandating rooftop solar" sure, but you'd still also have to "mandate" that it's free because many weight be able to afford it.
As for the reason I said you should play this games, it's to make you realize how difficult it would be to run everything purely on solar and wind and without batteries, EVEN WITH future tech and perfect weather with no inhabitants like in Satisfactory. You'll either need good sources of hydro in every possible spot on the map (at which point, in real life, you'd definitely be altering the environment, + climate change is affecting that too in reality) or a massive battery storage site / so many distributed batteries you've accomplished the same thing anyhow. You'll fucking realize energy demands can be so damn high, the struggle isn't "what to do with all this power" but "I need more power / need power at night", constantly, even with magic future solar tech on a planet with a binary system.
You're clearly both too uninformed AND misinformed to continue this conversation. At best what you do now is help the fossil fuel industry with how ignorant you are - at worst you're a troll willingly doing so.
Yes, except that takes a long time, and in the meantime electricity usage fluctuates with spikes and continued growth. That's without counting other possible issues, like dropped outputs due to weather (hurricanes, lightning strikes, winter in a northern latitude, etc). Tell me, how do we build enough energy production to cover usage when both lines go up? And what about while water creation plants are constructed?
Ideally, we end up in the situation you describe, yes, but even then we would need back up storage because things can and do go wrong, and output won't always be consistent and neither will use. And then there's the whole issue with using solar at night.
Play something like Factorio or Satisfactory with certain mods, and you'll get a small idea of how difficult it is to keep load balance even with machines running to use extra energy.
In terms of scale, direct kills are a rounding error compared to the damage of climate change.
In terms of indirect kills, like accidents, coal still beats hydropower by a long shot if you include the actual history of coal and steam boats, in part simply from a lack of standards or care in safety (and that's even if you exclude coal lung as an indirect kill).
While you make perfect the enemy of good, the world will burn, just as those who own the fossil fuels desire.
Idk, I've had all kinds of mirrors in my dreams. Portal mirrors, regular mirrors, you leave but your reflection doesn't follow mirrors, creepy thing behind you reflection mirrors, only the background is different mirrors, and many books I've read from.
Db0?
