Well mostly it comes from my memories of going to the pub before internet adoption was wide spread, Idiots were always the majority but you couldn't prove them wrong and it was difficult to find anyone that would dare express anything but the dumbest groupthink opinion. Like even as late as the start of the Iraq war the level of discourse was unimaginably dumb even compared to your average Facebook group today.

Intentionally curating the what now?

They were even worse before the internet, it's hard to deal with but this isn't even close to as bad as humanity has been.

If you're trying to say the way ryker throws his leg over a chair is the cause of me becoming a communist programmer then I have to tell you that you are sorely accurate.

Babylon 5 is our last best hope, or we could look further afield - Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive far, far away, amongst the stars.

Jesus, just call me out by name if you're going to be so specific

That's why you need Nord VPN so you can play raid shadow legends safely...

The thing is they have so much less control if they do that, I'm fed up of places with adverts where comments are turned off or heavily moderate - if their post comes here they can't do any of that, I say we let them come, we let them come and then we smash them

It happens in all the poorer Asian countries with turmeric too, https://www.economist.com/asia/2023/11/02/bangladesh-strikes-a-blow-against-lead-poisoning -- classic capitalism, if they can make a couple of dollars more they won't even lose a night's sleep over poisoning millions of people.

We really do need to fund food safety organisations well, these regulations and authorities the right wing keep trying to get rid of are incredibly important to our safety and wellbeing.

Just posting a whole big pile of stuff and saying 'the answers probably in there somewhere and you can't disagree until you've been thought it all' is something conspiracy theorists and idiots do.

The first paper doesn't agree with your claim so it's pretty obvious you didn't even read it yourself.

It doesn't benefit them to send adds disguised because they are paid to provide ad impressions which they wouldn't have data for. It's just an annoying business model not a conspiracy to brainwash you.

That's not what any of the worst case scenario in climate studies I've seen seem to think, what are you basing it on?

That's where you're wrong, part of the universe knows you exist, loves you, and is very amused by your opinions - I know because I am that bit of the universe.

By stating that we're like every animal you prove that we are not, do you think a snail pities it's existence or has that intellectual curiosity to question it's worth and insult the value of its being?

Humans are fascinating and adorable, especially the grumpy emo ones who use the magnificence of their intellect to construct vast and woeful towers of logic from which to decry their own being.

What you mean is 'oh yeah good point, I'll pretend you're a baddie and claim my inability to answer is actually the moral high ground' thanks

True but we're by far the most complex and unique thing around here, every flower is beautiful and every being is a new type of fascination to the universe.

Of course she was.

And now we see the real emotion behind your desire to dismiss tech solutions.

It's sad but I really think a lot of people would rather feel smug about the world burning than put out the fire.

I genuinely think a lot of the resistance to renewable adoption comes from people scarred that it'll work. Modern chemistry is absolutely amazing, for some reason their successes upset people - you see it everywhere, did you go as far to reject the vaccine? That's the same 'it must be bad it's science' thinking.

The USAF have performed huge studies on SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) and have concluded they're effective, reliable, and economically competitive - this isn't some hippy idealism or scientific fanboyism it's the cold calculated reality of the most advanced war machine in the world.

They already work, they tested them in all their engines and decided that an e-fuel made from sequestered carbon is the best solution - other saf have been used in transatlantic flights by commercial airlines for a while now, generally in a blended mix with kerosene but pure saf flights have been made.

It's not common yet because we don't have the infrastructure established to make them in significant quantities, this is changing with various facilities being built but it could change a lot quicker if there was a push to support transition technologies rather than a knee jerk anti science sentimentalism wrapped in fraudulent pretence of 'but I read all the research...' - this isn't a flat earth, vaccines aren't from the devil, and we're not going to drop oil use without a viable replacement.

We need carbon sequestration, we need to support research into that rather than pretending to care about the plant as some form of dunk on progress. It's just like the train line we tried to build in the UK, it would have cut down the ecological cost of cargo transport hugely and reduced the amount of lorries on the road significantly but eco warriors waged war on its construction attacking machinery, blocking it's path with tunnels, and endless propaganda against it that got pushed by people who hate progress in any form.

And remember this is only one of the promising technologies, I don't think it's even the most promising tbh but its one of the easier to explain and is incredibly promising. You of course know know all this because of the regular in detail conversations you have about it with your double doctor scientist partner who has a very busy schedule.

Ha ok, changed a bit now hasn't it? So you talk to your partner in depth about these subjects but can't ask about it to help you answer the questions because of reasons...

What you actually mean is without doing any research you assumed something that fits with your preconceived dislike of technology solutions? Or maybe you just saw someone else say it so repeated it with a slightly exaggerated truthiness tone to and make it seem more believable.

Stop burning fossil fuels isn't something we can just do over night, especially when people fight against good alternatives - and double especially when people fight against them based on knee jerk emotional response without really knowing much about it...

Carbon based efuels are going to be a huge part in the transition to an ecologically sustainable society, the model using sequestered carbon and renewable power generation is just one of several incredibly promising areas of chemistry at the moment.

Leasure suit Larry, he had to trial and error the questions to prove your over 18 because he didn't know enough about taxes

You can watch in a private session and it won't affect your front page, I do this if I ever want to watch a video containing an idiot like Joe Rogan or something who'll get me flooded with right wing junk.

I don't think that's true really, it's popular because softcore has always been popular and twitch is a great platform for moderated chat interaction and community.

It's hilarious to me seeing comments like this because in your head there's no room for doubt, you know exactly what these streams will be like and can firmly declare that in public - it doesn't even come into you mind at all to consider they're popular things which mean a lot of people will have done something you haven't and actually watched them.
