The argument is that there exist some use cases where we do not have a viable low carbon energy source yet (things like heavy farming equipment or aircraft), and one can effectively counteract the emissions of these things until we do develop one. Or alternatively, by the time that we eliminate all the high carbon energy, the heating effect already present may be well beyond what we desire the climate to be like, and returning it to a prior state would require not just not emitting carbon, but removing some of what is already there.

Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

Before bed I’ve heard, but right after waking? I thought light was good then for getting you more alert?

I hate to break it to people, but this universe is the one where people occasionally eat spiders.

I mean, you can just be neutral towards or unfamiliar with something, so not necessarily.

maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?

I suspect that we might not use the term “dwarf planet”, were it not that the objects we initially created the category to describe were originally classed as planets. The category labelling is a bit arbitrary, we just discovered that what we now call dwarf planets are quite abundant and that there was a clear line that could be drawn to distinguish them from the rest of what we called planets, and so decided to draw that line between them.

Tankies aren’t even leftists, they just think they are because someone decades ago got the idea to dress yet another heirarchy in a red flag and claim that it was temporary.

One must wonder about male and female invertebrates next

Not the only one, this is why I find sitcoms especially more or less completely unwatchable

the sprouts are a similar size and shape to those chocolates, and theyre hidden under the gold wrappers, meaning the actual chocolate isnt visible from the outside. So, they can remove the chocolate, wrap the wrappers back over the sprouts, and put those back in the package so as to make whoever it is given to think theyre getting chocolate, until they unwrap one.

I had usually seen it explained that the genie is somehow magically enslaved into the whole wish granting thing and, as one might expect, quite resentful of that, so finding ways to twist wishes they’re forced to grant into something undesirable to the wisher becomes a way to rebel

I just use the thing in Firefox where you can attach a website link to the home screen so that it acts like an app and doesn’t show the url bar when opened, that seems to result in the feed being composed of pages (though going back a page isn’t an option at the bottom, just going to the next one.)

It’s possible for platforms under the influence of the Chinese government and right wing American billionaires to both have harmful censorship.

To be fair, our ancestors, evolutionary speaking, didnt resemble us that much if you go back far enough. A system that just considers a few key features a “child to be protected” is probably more adaptable than if every change in appearance had to be accompanied with a corresponding mutation to whatever gives us our mental picture of what our young should look like, for them to still get taken care of.

To be fair, it is hard to hold a proper democratic election with part of a country occupied. Either you hold an election in which people in those areas cant vote and while risking division during a time of crisis, or you dont hold an election and in doing so risk democratic backsliding. Im not really sure that there’s a good answer to that situation

Try fresh baked bread right out of the oven. I swear whenever my bread machine finishes, I get through the first third of the loaf within the first half hour and then take most of the week to finish the rest.

that huge fruit slice is a bit interesting, because it seems like the AI cant decide if its generating a slice of watermelon or red pomelo

Ironically, the only irl example I can think of for powerful person throwing a car to space, was very much not someone doing so out of distaste for cars.

I just grab whatever random spices I have that sound good and add a few shakes
