In the country's defense, those assholes literally ran the government from the highest level for 4 years and gave up power were forced to give up power after their term ended. We have a pretty robust system. I am concerned that so many people are so stupid to be hoodwinked by him and his ilk, but the system was built to withstand this type of shit...at least for a single time.
Meanwhile Biden and democrats have been out there with things like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill actually helping Americans. If you think that the government isn't capable of doing positive or good for it's people anymore, you haven't been paying attention. It may not be sweeping, and only barely enacted, but a lot of good has been done recently.
Has there been any posts on this outside of discord? Anything we can do? It's been noticable and I have an alt I can use when lemmy.world is down, but I didn't even realize this was happening.
Yeah, sarcasm isn't meant to trick people. They are supposed to understand that it's sarcasm. That's what I meant when it comes across better in person. People get that it's sarcasm because of that body language.
edit Wait a tick, you're "sarcasm"ing me, aren't you!?
Point taken. I suppose I mean sarcasm not satire. /s is really a sarcasm indicator, not just satire.
There are, however, other instances of satire that aren't text based such as much movies (eg dr strangelove, Galaxy quest) or spoof movies as well as most political cartoons. But those sometimes are misunderstood as serious as well.
Sarcasm comes across much better in person than via text, which I'm sure you agree with.
Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it's actually fine in there and they don't need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.
Not while browsing on "All", but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on "Subscribed". Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.
Yeah, this seems really smart to me, as long as you can avoid the obvious problems with it being submerged in fucking corrosive as shit saltwater. Makes way more sense than using A/C since the ocean is a giant heatsink.
I am guessing OP is worried about either these things being a driver of why the oceans are heating up (not the blanket of CO2 around Earth in the atmosphere from decades of fossil fuel powered binging) or the ocean being too hot to effectively cool these things, which also doesn't seem plausible outside of very specific locations/depths.
I think this would be better than doing it on land, however I also think that it'll be costly and need to be over-engineered to survive the environment and not worth it in the end (as MS has apparently come to the same determination).
