We feel similarly about this topic. You might look into donating to one of their unions. I donated to SAG for a long time in lieu of paying for Netflix et al. The money doesn’t go directly to artists but it does help keep their posture strong in negotiations and strikes. Of course I’m piss broke now, but it felt nice to contribute materially while it lasted.

almost uploaded this to the lemonade stand listing before I realized it could probably be construed as an actionable threat. that was close lol

Oh and they lost the world cup

I can hold the phone next to the pizza if you want to talk to it

you cant just draw a straight line between two places and say “Train!”

Never forget what they took from us. They being the promoters of the ny-chicago electric air line railroad. Also if it were built and the right of way stayed intact we could absolutely build a maglev that could go center to center in 3 hours.

I’m curious about your power budget. Does that include appliances like water heater, fridge, etc? Or is it just for smart devices?

I’m really impressed by your efficiency. My router alone draws over half your budget. Add the cable modem and a 5GbE switch and that takes me 50% overbudget. And that’s just network infrastructure. With everything else in my apartment I’m probably somewhere around 800w, pessimistically.

This is the second time you posted it in this thread even lmao

But what if your phone is dead? How are you gonna use cash then?

Edit: replied to wrong comment

Is that a model m?

I didn’t pay for access but the abstract seems pretty solid, and the blog post I linked (by the same author) lays out a pretty convincing line between 20th century white american masculinity and support for fossil fuels even in the face of their economic obsolescence.

It’s great work, I just question the wisdom of using academic terminology in op-eds. Like obviously the fascist is going to throw stones but why oh why would you willingly hand them a bigger rock

Y’all can’t think past your own feelings. Rhetoric matters. This rhetoric makes chuds double down. Irrespective of whether or not theres some optimal phrasing this phrasing sucks.

I am very angry, I’m just also trying to stay measured here.

We need that chucklefuck in the f-350 to play ball. His feelings are important because his reactions are important. Telling him how bad and dumb he is and tying it to his identity as a man is counterproductive because all that shit just makes him double down.

Maybe, maybe not. I know for a fact that this type of communication backfires spectacularly though.

Is the important thing to correct the behavior or to score points?

I understand the academic roots and I’m sure the paper it was coined in is top tier sociology. But we have got to stop labeling bad shit as masculine, it only amplifies the behavior. The dude 6" off your bumper is not going to hear “petro-masculinity” and have a quiet contemplative moment about carbon emissions and road safety. He’s going to feel scolded, hear that you’re triggered and frightened of his masculinity, and then he’s going to start driving even more aggressively out of spite. And nobody will stop him, because nobody with the power to do so cares. Hell, the cops themselves are often the ones who drive like this.

Idk if oil being negative was a good thing per se. It was a signal that the economy was suddenly grinding to a halt and energy demand was cratering.

I’ve never seen one but I’m pretty sure I’ve been stalked by a puma on more than one occasion. The silence is the most unnerving part. Just dead silence. The birds the squirrels, all of them suddenly stop yapping. Maybe you hear some snapping in the trees. Not a lot. Maybe one twig. And then you leave the area and thank whatever god you worship that attacks are really rare. If the cat wanted you the cat would have you.

I have seen coyotes, and they’re not scary in the slightest unless you have a smaller animal with you. Coyotes are scrawny little bastsrds but they’re devious. I have heard stories about a lone coyote “playing” with a dog, and then luring said dog into the woods where it is then set upon by the pack. Probably just folklore. What’s not folklore is that they’ll absolutely eat your pets and livestock if you give them a chance. They are, in many situations, pests.

I’ve not met a bear but I’m not looking forward to it.
