You mean something like this?

Not only that but it makes it easier to care about one another, which gives a greater incentive to unionize.

The problem is that the previous accumulation of capital has centralized a lot of power in actors who have a financial incentive to stop renewables. If we could hit a big reset on everything then yes, I think renewables would win, but we’re dealing with a lot of very rich, very powerful people who really want us to keep being dependent on them.

I’m not sure that fawn feel much fear since they’re supposed to lie in one spot and wait for their mother, a quick search turned up “Very young fawns do not appear to have any natural fear of predators, and may even walk up to humans” although I haven’t been able to conclusively verify the claim.

Oh my god, that picture of your dog carefully smelling it might just make my heart explode.

They were in the Eurovision this year (and unfortunately came last) but the Norwegian band Gåte. Their songs Skarvene and Hamløypar are two of my favorites, and Bannlyst is also fantastic.

Meat?

My go-to song for turning into a sobbing mess on the floor is Sting (feat. Ray Chen) - What Could Have Been. Hits very hard.

You could have satellite detection rely more on using another range in the electromagnetic spectrum since having enough coverage for visual detection is too difficult (think RADAR for example) with the ship providing some unique solution for it. Either like airplanes do to prevent the signals bouncing off it to begin with, or something super high-tech where it analyzes that spectrum of radiation and then calculates what the response would be if it wasn’t there.

But that might be getting into too tech-garbled territory.

Maybe there were so many satellites that at some point two collided and caused a bunch of space debris, which makes sending up satellites incredibly difficult and satellite usage limited to mostly communication?

…what do you think democracy is?

Sounds like sort of mean things to say.

Not only her rights, the rights of people who aren’t straight, the rights of people who aren’t cis, the rights of kids to have a decent education, the rights of indigenous people, the rights of non-whites. That’s even not to mention that they’re against providing people with healthcare so that they don’t die, against trying anything that might make this planet livable in the future (for the kids that they claim to want to protect), and against not trying to fucking overthrow democracy. I don’t need to agree with my partner’s every opinion and political ideal, but at the very least I have to be able to respect them, and throwing everyone who isn’t a well-off white man off a cliff for “lower taxes” isn’t something I can respect.

It’s unfortunately more than just that

One thing I’ve learned is that conspiracy theorists always seem to end up at racism.

and there is less crime

I wouldn’t necessarily bet on this, authoritarian states are breeding grounds for corruption and that in turn fuels crime. I wouldn’t be surprised if China has a problem with criminality that the government, at least on a local level, not only turns a blind eye to but is complicit in.

What are the “far greater social costs” of cannabis compared to tobacco?

I’m not sure you know how much a million dollars actually is or how effective drugs are on your mental well-being. They’re not magic, it’s still probably going to be years of problems and while a million dollars is enough to make you live very comfortably, it’s not enough to actually make you rich rich.

I personally don’t think you can put a price on your health, mental or physical, and being immobile for 48 hours in a wooden box is going to be very hard on your physical health as well.

Every US president would have accepted it, most heads of state of any country in the world throughout history would have accepted it.

I’m sure wanting to shoot black people with automatic weapons has no correlation with fascistic ideals either.
