I guess second-hand in that my dog was doing it.

Dogs do like butt stuff.

Sigh… and how would you like to quantify that when there are so many factors?
Obstructing traffic is not an effective means of protest. Target actual agents and entities associated with the oil industry, not the victims.
They are effective and bring about awareness among other things.

I am telling you when their trend started. Norway’s consumption has not increased, it is down on 2018, as I said. It had a slight decline in 2023 (the increase between 2020 and 2022 is when people stopped driving during COVID then came back to restart its downward trend).
Japan’s decline since then is commensurate with its population decline.
Actually no, if you know what commensurate means. The population has dropped around 4% since 2008, yet oil consumption has been decreasing since 1996.
Germany is similar in terms of consumption, Sweden likewise.

If that is the only metric you are looking it, kind of. It slumped during COVID and has looked like it’s tailing off somewhat. Without tax breaks, subsidies and support for other forms of transport, say, we will not shake our dependence.
But, we can look at specific countries and see if those things have helped on a national scale, like Norway, for example, which has seen consumption decline since 2018. And Sweden. And Japan. And Germany. And…

I can cite many news articles which show that protesting in this way is more effective.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 3 weeks ago:
Blocking roads in protest has proven effective at exactly one thing: Increasing the enforcement and penalties for jaywalking.
Well… no.

…but you’re not banned. Are you pre-emptively complaining about something you think will happen? It hasn’t, so, err… okay?
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 1 month ago:
Because they write their narrative, or subscribe to one where they are the defenders, not the peoples who were dominated a couple of centuries ago.

So… looking at the context and the intent, is it pure racism even if they didn’t come up from the south? It’s bigoted, I guess?

Very alarmed. Go to the doctor now.

Do you still have it?

That’s assuming it’s not cooked and wasn’t handled properly when butchered.

That, and the loan system.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Honestly? Because stupid people like you keep paying it. Sounds nasty, but you are paying it, and that’s fucking stupid.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 3 months ago:
Halls of Torment and Brotato are both similar to Vampire Survivors, but better in my opinion. Great art styles and the weapon system in Brotato is really fun.
Casual-wise, story-based games are nice, like Frog Detective, Florence and the like.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 3 months ago:
Balatro in addition to Slay the Spire, gaming crack (and game of the year).
- Comment on They look pretty happy to me 3 months ago:
Camping and rainbows, seems fine to me.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 3 months ago:
Those buying up properties which prevent people from getting on the property ladder, not owning a couple. I’m left-wing; I bought land, built a small house (small as in the size of a one-bed apartment), current rent it out which pays for my rent in another place. The landlords I’ve had over the past few years have been great, they are also living in the same place they rent out, those people are good.

I didn’t know where I was supposed to be looking. If you’re gonna share something, and you fucked it up, at least take the good advice for next time.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 3 months ago:
Of course, it’s still murder, that’s why there is a judiciary. But, the system should also be better, and not allow people to be cheated out of their lives by profiteering goblins.

That’s true, it’s on my list though! Waiting for a decent sale or bundle. (:

You can only stuff about those games without having the twist or whatever spoiled. What Halo twist was it? I’ve finished it a few times and don’t remember really. It was all about how open it was and the action, plus the multiplayer.

Between what?
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 months ago:
Doki is free to play. DotA is online and free to play.
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 months ago:
I’m honestly not sure this applies to any of those games.
- Comment on Palworld announces Terraria crossover 3 months ago:
Does that mean they should stop functioning because Nintendo is suing them?
- Comment on I do not want to do anything. Is this addiction? 3 months ago:
Sounds like ADHD and depression.
- Comment on Is there a 'ama' sub? 4 months ago:
I mean it is, because many/most of us came here because of the nonsense Reddit was pulling. You don’t imitate the structure if you’re not offering an alternative to those people.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 4 months ago:
That is a pretty horrific thing. Policy is so far behind if that is allowed.
