The patent story reveals a lot.

Government:

• creates and enforces a patent system

Also government:

• does essential research and doesn’t patent their own discoveries

Donate to propublica.org - they produce a lot of great journalism.

Well, the far right faction of Republicans did already side with Dems to oust the speaker.

That’s spoiling at that point

Do you think an average person in 13th century had a better quality of life than an average person living in the 21st century?

Is that a “random person on the Internet” take or something substantiated?

Most statements I don’t have qualms with, but from my understanding, “liberals embrace ID politics” seems way off. I could see an argument that there’s some kind of split across people who’d identify as or match a typical understanding of a liberal, along the ID politics line, given that it’s so divisive. Id say liberal as a concept existed way before ID politics, do when that became prominent, a lot of people got split along that line. I.e. Far right probably split 90:10, Conservatives probably split 75:25, Liberals probably split closer to 50:50, while social left split 25:75, far left split 10:90 and libertarians split 1:99.

Hey, at least your average, retarded, left take seems to be (at least from my limited experience here) somewhat more palatable than your average, retarded, right take.

Data I’ve seen suggests otherwise. Care to engage with me so that we can figure out where the discrepancy lies?

I had a Smaturday last week.

This describes stealing better than capitalism. And stealing is as old as nature.

I’ll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.

It better be. After all, it was blessed by the Almighty.

You can! And we do! In fact, then you can skip the whole fusion step, since the sun laser is already powered by fusion, and just collect the energy. I think that tech is called soul… Soul-Harp-N-L.

Proof of work “toll” for each request or session seems like a good option.

Buckwheat (must buy eastern european kind) with diced avocado thrown in and a few pinches of salt is the shiznitz.

If I had to choose only one meal to eat for the rest of my life - this would be it.

edit: buckwheat prep: boil for 10-20 mins until most of the water boils away. Add some water if it boils away too soon. Leave some water/moisture to boil away while it’s cooling and not to get buckwheat burned and stuck on the pot surface. Throw in some diced avocado chunks. Add salt to bring out the buckwheat flavor. Done.

Gasoline cars produce, on average, about ten times more lifetime pollution compared to manufacturing pollution. So even if electric car manufacturing pollutes a bit more, it more than makes up for it over its lifetime of driving.

Your other claim that batteries can’t be recycled is false. And that recycling pollutes more. More than 90% of battery materials by mass can and do get recycled - and the expectation is to reach 98+%. Recycling process is expected to produce less pollution and be cheaper than mining the equivalent amounts of material.
