We can cut emissions hugely by eliminating plastic crap, building technology and tools to last, living in vibrant medium density neighbourhoods with public transit and bicycles for all, building renewable energy sources, and eliminating meat.

I wake up in the morning, ride my bike to a job where I fix old technology and make a difference, then pick up groceries from local and sustainable businesses, get some exercise and sun in on my bike, and make a delicious vegan meal like roast potatoes. I’m happier, more active, healthier, and I feel like my life makes a difference. You, meanwhile, get to ride around in your metal box having to maintain constant focus or you could kill someone, getting no exercise, and presumably eating meat that hurts animals, wastes carbon, and kills you faster. Of course you need a vacation on a plane to make you happy; your life is miserable.

Is this Tailwind HTML? It looks like Tailwind and it’s also the reason I hate Tailwind

Population growth is not a cause of climate change worth paying attention to. Most of those extra two billion were born in poor countries, especially in Africa. These countries have a fraction of the per capita emissions of wealthy countries like America that are currently seeing or soon to see population decline. When we’re having a conversation about how to control total emissions, it’s orders of magnitude more efficient to focus on per capita emissions than on population. For one, we can reduce per capita emissions without getting into ethical issues regarding population control or economic issues like those caused by the one child policy in China.

You dick, stop reposting Ahdok’s memes

Stamets is stealing memes from Ahdok now? What a bastard

Nah, makes sense. I’ve got autism and I’m horrible at listening. If someone mumbles, or there’s background noise, or they’re far away, I have less ability to compensate than an NT. I have more difficulty holding a conversation in a club than anyone I’ve spoken to in a club.

I mean it deserves to be lost forever in that it has no artistic or ideological merit. Mein Kampf deserves to be lost. But we deserve to keep it as a warning so that we do not repeat history. But if humanity could grow to the point that such warnings are never needed again, and if the book could be forgotten due to losing all present and future relevance, that would be a good thing. What a thing deserves is sometimes different to what is necessary or good.

I think his lawsuit is valid and that Amazon really did steal his work, because those titles are derivative mulch and The Rings Of Power is a snoozefest.

Well in that case I do believe Rings of Power plagiarised it, because ROP is trash too

Yeah, and that’s why white people are richer than black people today, even though slavery ostensibly ended 200 years ago. It’s time that we outlaw this behaviour.

Also Sherlock Holmes. Now, the BBC might have done a terrible job, but a lot of other people have written great stories because Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain

Another character in the public domain is Zeus, and the rest of his family. Liked Disney’s Hercules? Supergiant’s Hades? Netflix’s Blood of Zeus? Riordan’s Percy Jackson? Only possible because of public domain.

A word isn’t a thought. Thoughts are unique, but a word can be arrived at independently in several different ways by the sea spelled with a C, you see.

But nothing any human being put effort into deserves to be lost forever.

Except for Mein Kampf, Birth of a Nation, and What is a Woman

Maybe you could try letting the heroes use their cool abilities designed specifically for these situations

Create water doesn’t work inside a person because all living things inherently have enough magical ability to resist spells cast on or in their person. Damage dealing spells have to be specifically designed to work on people, or they have to be able to attack someone by applying an external force.

Crits double the dice. So it’s not d4, it’s 2d4

You tried to substantiate your claim that the question whether or not something is a disability depends on (social) context with mentioning that the “flaw” that Michael Phelps has supposedly aided him in being a better swimmer.

No I didn’t. You’ve got it all backwards. I didn’t say being double jointed is a flaw, I said being single jointed is a flaw. You didn’t understand the hypothetical. You’re so used to hearing people say deviations are disabilities, your brain filtered it out when I proposed that being normal is a disability. That’s why I think you’re worse than me at understanding hypotheticals. But the conclusion that being normal is a disability is precisely what your definition leads to. Which is why I think you don’t agree with your own definition.

No, I mean the question where I asked if you changed your mind because you directly contradicted yourself

Also the reason you’re dumber than me is that you think I think being double jointed is a disability and you think I think I’m not disabled. You don’t understand what I’m talking about at all.

You didn’t answer my question first. I’m still waiting.
