I think they want to get corporations out of government, not change the devil

Mind blown. I want to add to the conversation, but I dunno what to say. This is some out-there science that needs pursuing!

Everyone’s heard of the “Hello world” being people’s first program, but just as popular among teenaged boys is their second, more advanced program: Boobs! :)

I think adoption of the JSLint license’s ”This software can oly be used for good and not evil" clause would cover that. I hear IBMs lawyers had issue with it lol

They’re celebrating the discovery that the charge of these particles means we may be able to capture them before they escape into the surrounding environment.

Its a good thing! A potenrial way to solve a problem people have ignored because gas/diesel toxic particles way overshadowed brake dust.

I would love to see a solumn marching band performing the opening ceremony for the olympic-style ball events. The drums burst in with a rousing couple of bars to clear then the big brass chimes in with a commanding rendition of “Do your balls hang low” to a teary-eyed geriatric crowd.

I really hope our guy wins the swingin 'em over your shoulder event this year

Thanks for making me google Ken Keasy lol. I liked Cuckoos nest. I had no idea the author was an Army psychedlic test subject and worked in a psyciactric ward

Could you clarify how it’s like Ken Keasy?

PS -why you getting downvoted so hard? Due to lack of references or something?

Is this still true? Damn shame if so

Got any good examples of this?

I do know that between 1950 and 2000 poverty and starvation dropped like a stone. I havent been watching closely enough to tell for the past couple decades. I don’t mean to sound cynical, but it can be hard to tell what’s slavery and what’s improvement of living standards through the media and on such short timescales

I know theyre installing a ton of solar/wind. Superbundance could happen there and that could be great. I got my fingers crossed.

How’s agriculture doing?

I think they’re very well positioned with electric cars and are going to take marketshare from everyone else in that industry.

I hope they quit killing the sea and bossing around their neighbors

Their effots in Africa are probably going to benefit them greatly. I hope they arent doing to Africa whatthre US did with South America in early/mid 20th century… with the saddling of unpayable debts, extracting resources and installing viscious dictators

I read recently OPECy folks are openly conspiring to flood Africas market with cheap and shitty fossil fuel power plants and cars to expand the oil market. It’d be rad someone flooded it with cheaper and better electric cars/heatpumps and renewable power. I wish the US/Europe would

This was one of my first thoughts on this too. Reminds me a bit of those western millennial/GenZ articles that are blown way out of proportion

Regardless I hope the governmental response is steering towards a bright solarpunk future of abundance and a healthy ecosystem to regain relevance for the next generation. Further encroachment of authoritarianism to maintain power and further alienate their smart kids doesn’t help anyone long-term

I hope the same for all governments, really

I agree with you, Maggoty, and that why neither one of us will get very far in National politics.

Bingo! You get the prize :)

I think China sells arms to Russia too.

I dont know anything about this. We’re they all living in the same neighborhoods or we’re they in different neighborhoods in the same city or like different towns in the same Provence?

Just curious how closely bound their networks were. In my home town folks of different faiths are neighbors and mostly go to the same schools and share a government. There’s not much segregation at all. Sure, there’s racism among all groups, but it gets much weaker and much less frequent with each generation.

Oh yeah and fuck the ole British state. Bunch of tossers meddling all about so they can exploit everyone’s resources. Their emancipated colony, all-grown-up now, isn’t much better.

I suspect the reason Hamas has power is their ability to point at the atrocities in the West Bank and stir up hatred.

Likewise the reason the Zionist warhawks in Isreal have power is they can point out the actions by Hamas and stir up hatred.

That’s a hideous feedback loop seen throughout history. It’d be great if it stopped.

My understanding is the Zionists justification for their West Bank actions would make it fair for Native Americans and Mexicans to begin evicting people and bulldozing towns throughout the US… Which I do not support. I’m betting he US would bomb Mexico and raid Native Territories if they did.
