  • I dont think capitalism is even the whole tree. Its actually greed and selfishness which needs to go.

    This is because capitalism glorifies greed and selfishness and considers it the primary driver or human behaviour. Which it isn't for everyone. Many of us leftists vote left despite it not being in our personal financial beat interests. Sharing is caring etc.

    Unfortunately the system is so damn rigged in favour of the multi billionaires.

  • I didn't think of trans men because they're men and America has already had only male presidents.

    Of course it's not the only reason to vote for someone but considering women are just as suitable for the job in general and are 50% of the population and 100% of presidents have been men, it's really about time.

    And really 99% of women will be better at the job than Trump.

  • Came here to say this but you beat me to it. I bet some of it is because people were skimping on heating last winter. Now that the prices are back to normal I think people will heat (and cool) more again. I know I have not watched my heating as scrupulously as last winter (even though I use very little energy 😇)

  • The reason the stockpile was there was it being classified as a strategic resource during the time around WW1 and 2 when airships were a big thing. It's just not really something the government thinks they need to be involved in anymore. Though you could argue its use is becoming more strategic again.

    But anyway I'm not defending the sale, I just believe this was the reason they wanted to sell it.

  • We could recover a lot more helium from natural gas production (some fields contain a lot) but right now it's vented because it doesn't have enough value for the operators. Only a few places worldwide bother recovering it during refinement.

    But as it gets scarcer the price will go up. Unfortunately the already vented helium is gone forever 😔

  • Well, for some realism I do understand you can't think forever. Imagine someone asking you a question and you stay frozen for 1 minute. That would be weird 🤭

    But the time in CyberPunk 2077 is too short yes.

    PS: I wish I could reload my save game in real life 😂

  • Please, yes!! If anything will make a chance, that will. Google keeps trying to subvert the internet with their FLoC and Topics crap. And the other thing recently with the "trusted" web environment thing.

    A lot of their plans get watered down but still...

  • Meanwhile, Biden’s unconditional aid for Israel’s genocide is alienting Arab Americans, who have a lot of voting power in some key states

    Hmm good point yes.

    as well as a large (though I can’t say exactly how large) portion of young, Black, and Latin American voters who can see the obvious racism at play.

    Yeah I was reading this article about how Trump is super loved by Cubans in Florida. I could hardly imagine it, his whole 2017 campaign was based on keeping the latino's out with his big-ass fence!! But they love his conservatism. Even though he's not actually conservative, he just does whatever he wants.

    Then again, maybe pushing the abortion rights thing will make enough of a difference to counteract this

    It's also such a hot topic with conservatives that it will really make them go vote, whereas it's something most democrats don't really care about as much (until they actually need one).

  • Hmm interesting yeah..

    I was thinking of swype typing. I notice I can comfortable type on tiny keyboards this way (like the one on my Unihertz Jelly which has a 2.5" screen). Perhaps that would work better in VR especially because it doesn't rely so much on forwards/backwards movements but only sideways/up-down which are much easier to track from the point of view of the head.

  • Is it possible that you could genetically-engineer a virus to both have a long incubation period AND incredibly high mortality rate? I’m sure it is

    Case in point: HIV. We're lucky that was not airborne. The whole world would have been infected by the time people started dying.

  • The people who always talk about “gotta vote blue, even if it’s the lesser of two evils” are going to vote for whichever Dem is in the race in the end.

    Of course but isn't it the swing voters that are most decisive? How would they react to a relatively unknown person?

    I'd love to see a woman in that job though. It's about time.

  • It's a good point. Biden's unconditional support for Netanyahu is not helping him at all (even though he seems to be trying to mediate in the background, he's not very successful and the optics are really bad).

    But the question is, who else would be a candidate with enough support? He's counting on the incumbent bonus now but I also doubt it's good enough, if "not Trump" is the main thing he has going for him. I don't know US politics well enough to know about any alternatives. Buttigieg maybe?

    But another Trump reign would be bad for the whole world order and climate so I really hope that won't happen.

    I think a Bernie win would be amazing but I doubt he has enough hardliner support even on the Democratic side.
