People on Lemmy are just as bad.

Wind turbines? Solar thermal? Nuclear in exchange for all of those Bitcoins, perhaps?

I mean, fair, but still. People should push them to go green.

You can get solar panels for like $100-$200 on Amazon right now. Nice ones. The price of them dropped like a fucking rock since China got involved.

I agree with you. That still means Bitcoin is on the hook though.

You'd think with all of the money they're pulling in, they'd invest in solar panels or something to lower their overhead.

Or am I making the mistake of approaching the situation with common sense?

*unethical/immoral

Planes are ubiquitous to the global north. They're not an American thing.

So clearly we need a different solution than cutting back on emissions.

I'd argue we might have to start human expansion into space to have any real positive impact. A solar shade, for example, could block out enough sunlight to artificially prevent warming and stabilize the climate while we construct or seek out alternative energy resources.

If any of us were sent back in time to try to stop him, could we convince anyone that this is actually real?

It feels so surreal watching Trump take power. It's like living in a Simpsons cartoon.

As much as I am inclined to agree with the sentiment, that would set a very dangerous precedent and jeopardize future Democrat presidents.

It's because they're evil.

Less false piety, more conversations.

Well, that’s something you certainly could learn to do yourself, judging from the way you’re acting.

I question this idea that violence should only be viewed through a lens of who is superior to the other. Morality is not about being better. It’s about reducing suffering in the world. And your opponents think nonviolence simply doesn’t accomplish that, and in this case I don’t blame them.

It’s not hypocrisy, it’s their self-interest. They have a political agenda and are spending their lives doing what they can to enforce it, and that means helping their faction gain a foothold into every aspect of public life, especially raising children which they have said emphatically non-stop is all about forcing younger people who don’t have the ability to reject them logically to adopt their beliefs. They only care about making more Christians and shutting out enemies of what they think constitutes Christianity, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

They’re being entirely consistent in that light.

It wouldn’t have. The American Revolution inspired revolutions in 60 other countries, including the French, Haitian and Mexican revolutions, and it’s what helped kickstart modern-day democracy in much of the world for that fact. Had the U.S. lost, it would have forever cemented the idea that the crown is all-powerful, beyond reproach, and the only way to get anything in life is to kiss the ring.

No matter how evil the U.S. turned out to be, the way it began will always be its true importance imo.

🤔 We need solar-electric cruise lines, and solar-electric yachts. If the rich were forced to go electric, it would help solve a lot of problems.

I read the article and the authorities were watching the cubs for two days as they watched them die. They first took notice when one dropped dead, and they only intervened when the other three collapsed… 😢😢😢

One cub lived, though. If there’s any solace in all of this, at least one goddamn cub lived.

They’d better keep everything in the NSO store

😢😢😢😭😭😭
