Absolutely. The hydro thing is really just a water battery, it’s just stored in potential kinetic energy instead of chemical energy. But sodium cells are starting to look like a good option for chemical energy too.

Steve Boots isn’t a reaction channel, he mostly does structured political commentary. This is really just for short form format.

Neoliberalism is no bastion of hope. Neoliberalism only furthers the orphan crushing machine and frames it as something necessary. I simply want to get rid of the machine.

I reject this framing that involves using the right’s buzzwords. It lets them control the narrative.

I like that feature. I like seeing how I’ve changed and how my life has changed.

Everything’s computer.

Linux isn’t a product sold by a company. If they’re still thinking that somebody else is responsible for how they experience their technology they will not have a good time with Linux. You have to be able to take responsibility for your machine, and in our society of learned helplessness, people would rather give up that responsibility for perceived convenience.

Drug epidemics are not about the drugs. They are about a lack of social supports 100% of the time.

1. A very considerable portion of goods are manufactured by China already, with tools that NOBODY ELSE has. Trump’s “vision” for American manufacturing is a fantasy, we NEED China whether you like it or not.
2. The USA is a fascist country that is isolating itself. We are tying ourselves to a sinking ship if we continue in this fashion.

God fucking dammit. Wrong move Carney. We are either going to be attached to America or China, and America is threatening our sovereignty.

Zero funding? Buddy I want a straight wealth tax to fund making this country better

This is probably true, but conservatives think climate change is either not anthropogenic or perfectly fine actually, so unfortunately I’m not sure anyone cares that isn’t already voting liberal/NDP/green.

Oh good, there’s one person I can block for this ragebait to disappear.

I understand the problem people have with men and more specifically toxic masculinity, but this gender wars bullshit only serves to further separate people. What’s the purpose of saying “men are rapists” or “men are violent”? It’s fine in the context of venting/talking with people facing similar problems, but because it entirely misses the sociological causes, it can cause people come to incorrect conclusions like “kill all men” or “all men are inherently bad because…” which essentialises their gender.

Men aren’t inherently bad. It’s patriarchy and toxic masculinity that you should be upset at - two sides of the same coin, really.

Especially Lower Decks. SNW is good but I feel like it lacks some character.

This is a tech company we’re talking about. And one which is still must running off VC funds. They work differently - as long as the stock price goes up it’s fine and will continue getting injections of VC money.

You talk like that wasn’t the end result of their anti-vax nonsense already. People have already died of arrogant contrarianism. But it’s a death cult so they don’t particularly care anyways.

Doug Ford did this first. It is not a 1 province problem.

This is so circlejerky. I love it.

Slave labour.
