The usual shit that islamophobes would say is that ‘at least they aren’t 9’ even if many Islamic countries ban that shit and large age gaps in marriage (Egypt is one example) and many children marriages that do happen are between children. As in, an 11 year old girl is betrothed to a 14 year old boy (still not cool though). They also ignore that in many cases a man who does marry a little kid is often socially ostracized and treated like shit for doing that.

If Reagan had had a hint of forward thinking he wouldn’t have un-installed Carter’s solar panel. It was among the FIRST solar panels installed for any residence in the US and it was mentioned as part of his farewell speech.

You don’t know half of it. The sheer amount of overwork farmland is going through world wide is causing soil depletion like no tomorrow. We may even end up seeing a full blown worldwide famine in some years time when it gets to the point that we simply cannot revitalize farm land.

We produce such an incredible glut of food it isn’t funny. If we took all the surplus that we make we could feed the whole of China for an entire year. That is how much is being thrown to waste.

What is so incredible is that we are living st a time with such massive food surplus that it would blow the mind of anyone living in the past… but they will let all of it go to waste and just add bullshit to the food just because they can…

The rich man’s boots vs. The poor man’s boots. Terry died too damn young.

I think it was Mark Twain who said that in order for a man to be moral he needs to be well-fed first.

That is why it is a backup. The others will still be used. There is one drive I want to get rid of, and it is because it has been malfunctioning for a long, long time.

I have HDDs that have been with me for almost 10 years. I need to replace one with one that I can use as a backup for all of them AND have some to spare.

Fuck you Sony…

UBI works. They experimented with it in Canada in the 70s, but didn’t have the funds to analyze the data. Once they did (decades later) they found out that it worked.

More recently when they tried again, Canadian conservatives shut it down less than half way and simply declared (without evidence) that it does not work.

I say please and thank you to AI chatbots all the time. This is to make up for my misspent youth insulting Dr. Sbaitso…

Damn straight. I was an open office guy for a while, but word had a slight edge. Now that edge is gone and Libre Office is the clear winner. I will not be going back.

Thorium? Fucking sweet!

It is a shit movie anyway.

It is actually astonishing it took so long for lead to be banned in the US. Even Ben Franklin railed against the use of lead in daily life and he was someone who lived and died in the 18th century.

I never liked 4Chan even when /b was the big thing and not the /pol.

Don’t forget airbags have also killed people.

And also you wash it down with radithor! The healthfully radioactive water.

Don’t drink the water was something American tourists were told about other countries. How the tables have turned.
