Put something on a public platform = accept that people will look at it. Allow for people to comment on it and you invite these comments. If someone wants to post pictures and not get comments on them, they can post them to a platform that doesn’t allow comments.

Considering the origin of carbonara, it’s not that weird.

Mine comes from the many Hydroelectric barrages we have here in Quebec, because we ended our use of coal and methane for generating electricity. 99% of our electricity is Hydro and the rest is wind/solar. I think maybe we have one methane plant somewhere but I don’t know for sure.
The US have basically every climate on the planet at your disposal except the poles. You could create new interesting ways to generate electricity cleanly, but your government doesn’t. It baffles the mind.
And then even with coal and methane, burning it at the station in troves is still less damaging than burning gasoline or diesel in individual vehicles because of the tiny bit of carbon the stations that are well run manage to capture (It ain’t much, but it’s more than an F150 that’s for sure)
I agree that cars should become a niche thing, not used by everyone to get everywhere. That’s completely unsustainable, but it’ll take at least 20 years of good governance for the US to be connected in a meaningful way by fast, frequent, convenient public transportation. Until then, the people who are stuck unable to move closer to work for various reasons will still need to drive, and EV are a good option for more than 80% of them.

I would just remove one word from everyone you wrote. “Unprecedented”
Look up how much time it took to build the initial interstates. Same shit in Canada and the Trans-canada highway. It didn’t take centuries to build, it won’t take centuries to fix either.

Basically the out of a simple pull of the trigger is too easy. Easier than jumping off a bridge, relatively painless, quick and doesn’t injure bypassers.
Having the gun is too easy an out, so people with suicidal thoughts will stay away from them. I was like that too at 22. Here’s just one of many stories. Trigger warning for suicide (duh)
If Quebec, Canada had the same access to handguns as the US, I would be dead today. Simple as that. Instead, I failed an attempt to jump from a viaduc because I was scared of causing a collision and taking someone else with me, was sent to the hospital by the police, got a psychiatrit’s help. Turns out I wasn’t a lazy worthless piece of shit. I had an untreated, very powerful case of ADHD blocking me from accomplishing anything of value.
I am no longer suicidal. I’ve overcome that. However, I always worry that those feelings will one day come back after a series of bad decisions. I am, therefore, keeping things that would kill me in an instant without pain away from myself. You just never know when you’ll have a moment of weakness. If I thought to off myself once, I can think of it again.

You in the US? Amazon.ca doesn’t have a “buy this much for free shipping” option as far as I know.
- Comment on I have to pay extra to remove ads from Prime Video 10 months ago:
What a beautiful excuse to drop prime. Unfortunately my own changing of behavior won’t change anyone’s, but hey, at least I guess it’s less money spent monthly.
- Comment on Why is this so hard 10 months ago:
Sure, but you’re washing your vegetables anyway right?
- Comment on Why is this so hard 10 months ago:
Those bags are almost useless, just throw the vegetables directly in your grocery bag at checkout. It’s nice to take one to isolate chicken from the rest, or to put on your bike seat for rainy days, but definitely not useful for veggies.

I did the research. It is satire. They wished everyone a Merry Eaglemas this week.
This is a funny one.

- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 1 year ago:
University shortcut. When you have to take notes on paper so damn fast, you develop techniques. Those techniques get shared around. That’s how it was explained to me.
- Comment on You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you? 1 year ago:
We had amazing localization for cartoons
- Comment on You had unrestricted access to the internet as a child, didn't you? 1 year ago:
Nope, I didn’t even unfettered access to South Park. After season one was translated to French and played in Quebec at kid hours, a bunch of parents decided their kids shouldn’t watch it because they were all cussing like old truckers.
It was good times :)

Offworld trading company was an amazing PvP game but “economics” never was gonna sell.

Aww shucks!
- Comment on I hate using mobile to read articles 1 year ago:
When was that? I only really got into computers around the time of windows 98 and back then everything was a pop-up on the internet. You would actually go to war against the popups, trying to close more that were opening.
Maybe that was on XP tho because I don’t really remember it that well. I certainly remember looking up what the word incest meant for a school assignment and having to rush to close popup ads at the public library. It was the first time I used the internet and it was not a great first impression.
- Comment on How are slavery reparations fair? 1 year ago:
That’s not a reparations issue, it’s an unfuck the cities that were fucked by Robert Moses and his buddies as well as funding public schools better, making hospitals public instead of privately owned, and changing the punitive justice system to a proper rehabilitation justice system.
Otherwise you’ll just see short term happiness and provide arguments for “we’re equal now, we paid reparations! What else do you want?”
