“A solarpunk polity would replace centralised forms of state government with decentralised confederations of self-governing communities […]”
Stalin notoriously loved checks notes heavily decentralizing government power akin to anarcho-communism.

It’s good to see a politician who actually stays informed about these kinds of issues.

Who still writes letters anymore? Uh… A lot of people? Especially sitting senators to massive, multi-billion-dollar corporations? Would you have preferred they go on some shitty social media platform to “ayo get your shit together fr fr”? Fellas, is it
gaypretentious to use your position in government to bring attention to an issue? Have you never written a letter? -
One of the reasons a neo-Nazi fuck just won the election is because these online spaces allow fascist rhetoric to run rampant. You’re bringing up a borderline nonsensical edge case to justify why action shouldn’t be taken in 99.999% of cases.
-
Writing coherently about an actual issue facing a platform like Steam actually shows that he’s more in-touch than most politicians. You sound deeply insecure.

I don’t think you can block yourself. Maybe ask the Lemmy devs to implement it?
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 4 days ago:
A US senator can absolutely, unambiguously write to a private corporation in an unofficial capacity asking them to more strictly moderate their platform. You’re just parroting “muh freeze peach” having zero idea where that starts and ends.

- Comment on Killing every screwworm would be the best thing humanity ever did | Kevin Esvelt 2 weeks ago:
The reason we have these eradication programs is actually predominantly because the flies are harmful to farmed animals. However, they have little impact on the environment when eradicated. This not only affects wildlife (whose suffering I think should absolutely be considered if we can determine it won’t have knock-on effects), but it also affects humans in impoverished areas. While animals eating other animals is almost always excruciating and fucked up, a screwworm infestation means you get eaten alive over days in basically constant pain, at which point the wound is now susceptible to secondary bacterial infection and death. The world currently spends a bunch of money keeping them contained (and trying to push them further south), and getting rid of them altogether would mean not needing to spend in perpetuity.

An infinite amount of monkeys each given an infinite amount of time would produce all infinite strings possible on a typewriter (this includes ones that just happen to be terminated with a neverending substring of blank spaces, i.e. one where the monkey stops or presses whitespace keys and nothing else an arbitrary number of times.).

Jellyfish are cnidrians which also include corals and sea anemones. Jellyfish are a specific lifecycle stage of medusozoans (their own subphylum), while corals and sea anemones are anthozoans (another subphylum of Cnidria).
So yup, they are polyps before sexual maturity.

Having a
0as the condition for a ternary operator seems redundant. - Comment on Not pictured: a flat of eggs 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, in hindsight, the variability was the most fun part of Halloween. Every kid knows they could just as easily ask their parents for $10 and get a bag of candy bars, but it’s ultimately the variety of what I could be getting and the unpredictability that made me excited. Was there sometimes weird shit I didn’t like? Sure, but probably just as often, there was some weird shit I did like that other kids probably didn’t, so I think it evens out. There were definitely kids out there who were jazzed to get black licorice, or there were some parents that were jazzed to get a small treat on the side after a night of escorting their kid(s) around since their kid(s) didn’t want it.

I guess it depends on what kind of sponge, but I think in all likelihood since most sponges have no symmetry that this comes down to the same politics as an agender person choosing a bathroom.

- Comment on They're a different species, so it's cool to eat them 3 weeks ago:
“Don’t walk on the grass” signs are usually stupid anyway because vast expanses of bare lawns with nothing but a single kind of mowed grass are almost exclusively dumber, uglier, and worse for the environment than native plants. (To actually answer your question, no, because speciesism is differential treatment without critical thought as to why they’re treated differently, and animals
can’t readare way cooler than humans tbh.) - Comment on They're a different species, so it's cool to eat them 3 weeks ago:
Vegan here: hurting and killing innocent, defenseless animals for food because of speciesism is wrong and harmful.
The rich are extremely harmful to everyone and have no feelings worth valuing, so eating the rich is reducing the exploitation of animals and very, very vegan.
