But he first revealed himself to the military and got their approval, so it’s all okay.
You know, instead of being seen day in and out saving people from the everyday dangers of living in a city. Gaining a groundswell of acceptance as the elite “Lex Luthor” plot his destruction.
- Comment on How I wanna die 5 days ago:
The type of loss is important. The original version was Pa Kent dying from a heart attack or stroke or similar.
This teaches Clark the important lesson that despite all his power, there are people he cannot save. He decides to try anyway.
That scene teaches the exact opposite lesson. That having the power to save someone doesn’t mean you should.
Later in the movie Superman kills thousands of people in order to murder one guy.

My father watched the snowcaps melt off the mountains, and still supports the sort of people who want more drilling.

I make a nice bacon and lentils soup.
The simple version is bacon, onion, lemon juice, veggie stock, and lentils.
The complex version just adds more veggies, and maybe some whole cherry tomatoes thrown in a few minutes before the end. You then get little pops of tomato flavor.

Tomato soup is good, but have you heard the good news of creamy potato soup?

I judge people based on their choices and actions.
Some have chosen to embrace the hatred. And so I judge them for it.
At this point in my life, I’m not interested in attempting to redeem people who have chosen evil.
- Comment on me irl 3 weeks ago:
No. I’ve had several people admit to me that the hatred is the point.
Anyine who still supports this regime is supporting them because of the hatred.

Some people live in little self contained bubbles, and their language can change to reflect this truth much faster than you’d think.
Little bits of slang and terms that exist no where else.
Cults do it all the time with some degree of intent, but any subgroup will develop their own language.

There’s also the weird disconnect between saying the settlers need sanctioned and acknowledging that they too receive active aid from the Israeli government.

The “gameplay loop” of the elevator broke and then my ship blew up for no fucking reason.
The game breaking bugs outnumber the features.
But Chris Roberts has another ship to sell you, so you pay $50 and eat it all up.

Sadly they still are in some areas of the world.
Particularly the middle east.

I sketched it out, and might play with it more. Maybe try some painting, it’s been over 10 years since the last time I painted anything more than even coats.
I’m also of the copyleft mindframe, so if you want to play with the idea, have at it.

- Comment on just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich 1 month ago:
ignoring all the evil shit, Christianity was created with prohibitions on greed and pride and such.
Then in the early 20th century, rich assholes paid for a radio “preacher” to basically say that greed and pride and shit were fine and dandy. And thus was born Prosperity Gospel.

The special election thing was Republicans trying to limit the power of the incoming Democratic Governor.
It’s likely unconstitutional, and Bashear has indicated that he’ll ignore it when the time comes. Also the Republicans are terrified of any election at this point.
They delay now to barely “hold” the seat, hoping that Trump somehow becomes competent before November.

- Comment on Does Israel have a right to your tax dollars? 2 months ago:
I don’t think a two state solution is possible.
If only because the Israelis want to isolate Jewish people from their neighbors.
Prior to the birth of Zionism, the Arab Jews and the Arab Muslims of the area spoke each other’s languages and celebrated each other’s holidays. The Arab Christians got in on it as well. All of them were also united in their hatred of the Ottomans.
Then the European Jews started buying up land and making little exclusive communities. They refused to integrate and eventually started fighting their neighbors, Jewish and Muslim alike. Things got worse from there.
So yeah, cutting more than 100 years of history short, now we need a full de-nazifacation and a forced integration of the European Jews into the local Arab culture. With equal rights for all.

No, the added costs have little benefit.
College itself is great. The added costs have not added to the experience.
- Comment on One Standard Yglesias 2 months ago:
I’ll say we over expanded college in the wrong way. Turned it into a business. That greatly expanded the costs with little actual benefit.

It would take far more than just capturing carbon to make coal clean.

Read the second sentence of my comment.

Nuclear is cleaner than any other power option.
It’s just Oil Industry lies that make it seem “dirty”. Lies that started at the very beginning.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 2 months ago:
Dangerous, but slightly less so than you’d think.
Unless you already know that LNT is bullshit.

You don’t need giant 20 year plants.
Small Modular Reactors can be built and deployed much faster.
You don’t need to power an entire state with a single plant. You can scale it down to powering a single town. That’s the current push, mass production of SMRs.

Coal ash is dumped into a retaining pond by the ton.
Nuclear waster is highly controlled and produced by the pound and sealed into giant casks that can be struck by a full speed train without beaching.

The thing is, it’s not a legitimate fear.
Radiation needs respect, but it’s not the magic death sauce that Movies and the Oil industry claim it is.
We swim in a sea if radiation every moment of every day.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 2 months ago:
Extremely.
Even adding in construction and mining, it has the lowest carbon per KWh out of any option. Even Hydro comes out worse, due to the years of carbon and methane emissions from the decaying plant matter at the bottom of the newly formed lake.
Wind and solar are down there, but the mining costs and the low output per unit tend to bump the numbers.
Noted, that’s just the carbon released. There are other metrics, and nuclear tends to meet most all of them because it’s very heavily regulated.

Blind support of Israel, served in the IDF.
I’m sure there’s more, but I never liked any movie she was in so never bothered to learn more.
