Ok, that actually looks pretty good. Well done trailer.

Sounds like I’m glad I don’t know who that is.

Heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point

Meanwhile my dad lives in one of the few yellow spots on the map, so I get to hear about how it’s just a matter of not raking the forests, really not that bad.

Oh no, sounds like I should avoid this reddit you speak of. Any suggestions for alternatives?

I canceled my recurring over this about a week ago, explaining that this was the reason. One of their people sent me a lengthy response that I appreciated. Still going to wait a year before I reinstate it, hopefully they fully move on from this idea by then. It sounded a lot like this though, kinda wishy washy.

Never thought I’d cancel my recurring donation for them, but just sent the email. I hope they change their mind on this, but as I told them, I will not support this.

Yeah, I remember when this originally went down seeing something about how if they used that write-off it meant that the film could never be distributed afterwards. The way things are now I wouldn’t be surprised if they sold it and kept the write-off anyways since that was a different fiscal year.

Haha, hell yeah. Saw your reply at the same time op responded to my message and misinterpreted. Agreed.

And my point is that the example you used does not make the point you are trying to make, but rather the opposite. I get what you’re saying, it just doesn’t apply to farmers and mechanics.

No, but if a farmer’s tractor is overheating (as in the gard drive conparison), I’m sure they could diagnose it.

I’m not sure how well that analogy holds up. Farmers are usually pretty well versed in mechanical systems. To the point that now that John Deere has been screwing them over on right to repair that some farmers are even becoming versed in computer programming so they can flash the firmware on their tractors.

The music guy for Fox is a big jam band guy, plays phish/wsp a bunch as well as others. Not a big stretch that guy is into KGLW.

For years my reaction to this has always been the same. Who uses straws?

It appears that you are looking to get all of the benefits of community, while absolving yourself of any of the responsibilities. You want to use someone else’s i stance, without having to follow any of their rules. You want to have your own little safe space to spew whatever it is that obviously goes against community guidelines, but also for that space to be able to interact freely with the community. We don’t want to interact with you on that level, that’s why we are all here, following those rules.

If you really want a place where you can say whatever shitty thing you think everyone eeds to hear, then go make your own instance.

Which will be de-federated from all of these instances.

Dude, the ice was melting at the North Pole a couple days ago. Real world results show us in all of the fastest tracked models, and just like every year, we released more co2 than we did the year prior. This is why I can’t share the same optimism as people like Dr Michael Mann, why would I take the best case model when humanity exhibits worst case behavior?

We will darken our skies before we make the needed changes.

I’ve never seen (or heard of it until) now, but Will Oldham may also be known as the musician Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billie. Will give it a watch sometime.

Song got me through the first year of covid. Absolutely love the Mountain Goats.

Every once in a while I’ll see the sentiment that this generation isn’t allowed to have a future (saw it again the other day which is why it’s fresh). Things like this show how accurate that is.
