Glad you found it helpful! It’s a shame that PFAS isn’t going to be banned for general purpose uses anytime soon, it’s so damn dangerous for the benefits it brings.

Reminder to sign Ross Scott’s StopKillingGames EU Citizens Intitiative (which carries legal weight if it reaches 1 million) if you’re an EU Citizen! Ubisoft killing The Crew is what kicked the whole thing off.

- Comment on Witch hunting is going to quickly destroy Lemmy, and prevent it from flourishing 5 days ago:
The ‘witch hunter’ seemed to present a compelling case that you’re not engaging in the community in good faith. How do you explain having so many contradictory posts?
- Comment on Firefly and the Lost Cause 1 week ago:
Just to clarify, I did not post this as an allegory for the election loss, we don’t need any myths to soothe our conscience. It just popped up in my subscriptions and thought it was interesting enough to post.
If anything, I think its conclusion about feelings and beliefs ultimately trumping objective truth is quite applicable to MAGA.
- Comment on Firefly and the Lost Cause 1 week ago:
Maybe I misinterpreted what Feral was getting at, but at least from my reading of it, he’s saying the myth was ‘half-true’ in the sense that that propaganda was effectively sold to the lowly enlisted men to give them self-justification to fight. Whereas the truth was indeed that the whole thing was just for slavery. The myth then became even more useful after defeat to help them accept it ‘honorably’. His conclusion about what people believe and feel ultimately having a larger impact than the actual truth seems to confirm that reading, but I could be wrong.

That it looks like a real paper is part of the joke, it’s pointing out the absurdity of companies trying to continue to emit carbon as long as they can use carbon credits, which doesn’t address the root problem. The joke of the paper is essentially; what if a researcher who was paid by a mega corp to find a ‘solution’ (which the corp would want to be greenwashing), actually naively proposed a genuine solution using corporate friendly concepts and language.
- Comment on Temporary Carbon Storage :) 1 week ago:
I think you might be reading a bit too much into the joke, which is the idea of a scientific paper on giving carbon credits to people conducting actual industrial sabotage, which is, itself, a hilarious concept.
But taking it more seriously, I suppose the argument could be made that delaying large amounts of carbon from being released means reducing X amount of time that carbon in the atmosphere has to contribute to warming and potential feedback cycles. Producing something in a different factory may take time, and while the same amount would potentially be emitted at the new factory, delaying it may not be entirely useless (at least, in my uneducated intuition!).
There are too many variables to know with absolute certainty if a particular sabotage action is overall carbon positive or negative based on how much extra carbon would be emitted to fix the sabotage (depends on the type of sabotage). But if the sabotage results in that production not occurring at all due to making the whole ordeal more costly, it would likely be overall a positive carbon action.

Honestly, I’d recommend just changing the title to something less inflammatory than Veritasium’s chosen title, like “How Approval Voting is the only type that encourages democracy” or whatever you can think of, because his title is going to get people downvoting it by assuming it encourages not voting.

I’m glad to see this has been as positive a place for you as I have found it be myself. Your thoughts are well formed and pleasant to read, and I’m thankful that you choose to share them here with us. :)
- Comment on Let's discuss: Uplifting Games 3 weeks ago:
Sorry to hear things are rough for you. I hope whatever is causing them improves!
Mine is an odd choice, or maybe not, but its the first thing that came to mind: Night in The Woods
It’s about a girl that comes home from college to her old dying town. I know that doesn’t sound terribly uplifting, and there’s some downer stories mixed in there, but overall I found it a very heartfelt and uplifting game, because the main character’s friends are the most wonderful bunch of people, and you hang out with them and go on little adventures throughout. It’s got a cool creepy mystery story going on, but the game is mostly about deep friendship, family, and overcoming struggles with their help, and I found that very uplifting and worthwhile.

As a massive Ross Scott fan and Stop Killing Games advocate, this was absolutely hilarious, top tier 10/10, have been fully converted and now see the light, please don’t trap me in my house.

If you’re advocating for the ability of individuals (or if you can get them to agree, an entire town) to opt-in to donating extra money to the state-wide school fund, I say more power to you! :D

If you and your neighbors have the means, then you could opt for private tutoring if you feel your public school is not adequate.
