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 4 days 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.
- Comment on Character.AI promised me 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on British Adults Overwhelmingly Support UK Ban on Illegal Israeli Settler Imports 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on The Tree of Liberty. 2 weeks ago:
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.

Yeah, it’s worse.
- Comment on just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 1 month ago:
It would take far more than just capturing carbon to make coal clean.

Read the second sentence of my comment.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 1 month ago:
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… 1 month ago:
Dangerous, but slightly less so than you’d think.
Unless you already know that LNT is bullshit.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again… 1 month ago:
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… 1 month 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.
- Comment on A Majority of Americans Now Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry 2 months ago:
Nope, that shit will flood the market, but it’s all been run hot for as long as possible, well, the stuff that actually went into data centers. Some of the shit that’s been “sold” hasn’t been made yet, because the data centers are still being built, on land that’s still being stolen through eminent domain.
Except, some of those data centers will be given over to government and corporate surveillance of, well, everyone. Surveillance that will then be used to enact violence on people. It already is.

Yes, but it’s also the Internet routing around censorship which is beautiful in a weird way.
Stupid word filters have existed for decades, and yes, some auto censor the word kill.
The Internet, being the Internet, took it to meme levels of absurdity and then beat it to death for at least a decade now.

Why would it? Are you somehow afraid of something tastier than honey?
Also it almost certainly exists but is likely hard to gather in significant quantities.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 2 months ago:
I’d view it as handy thermal mass, useful when shipping other frozen items.
That box is a bit easier to stack than a bag of ice like most other grocery stores have.
And much more expensive.

I used to deal that way when I was younger, now I want caffeine, flavor, AND an extra kick from my little flask.
