Every day, but I try not to look at it too hard because people tell me I should be starving and suffering from crippling migranes instead of having a body that looks like that.
Joe Biden should have pardoned Donald Trump on all federal criminal charges the moment they were announced, the Utah senator and former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said....
Romney, Mr. "I said the quiet part out loud that the 'top secret intelligence' was that TikTok was allowing people to share first source information and organized based on that information"?
God. Let Romney and Hilary both re-find those rocks they were hiding under for so long...
They are both evil unredeemable people, cut from the same Young Republicans cloth, that American would be better without.
I mean, whenever I hear picky eating, especially pickiness about a savory food, I imagine a person who lives on hostess, mountain dew (any kind), fried foods, and formed meat pastes (Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggies).
In general, the food that I was raised on, before I learned how to cook and eat a variety of foods.
I absolutely die for Kalamata olives lightly dressed in olive oil and Italian spices.
Are you just talking about the cheap green pomento olives in jars suspended in brine?
Or does your aversion go through all of the greek/italian versions too?
I slot those green olives in the same "I love!" place as pickles.
Also, cant beat black olives on a pizza or Italian style (Italian sausage, meatball, cold cut) sub.
Kalamata have such a hearty umami, when I crave a Greek Salad, 90% of that is craving the Kalamatas. Castelvetrano are so buttery yet refreshing. Picholine (especially with Pomento) are such a satisfying tart salty savory fix.
I mean, if you don't like em, you don't like em and you can have that, but every flavor that I have ever disliked (Bananas, Brussels Sprouts, and Sushi are the big ones I remember for me) was just an invitation to "acquire the taste" and has become a flavor I savor.
I still struggle with caviar, but even still, every once in a while I just get hit with the craving.
Only food thing that I can think of that I haven't tried in ages and I might still hate is black licorice.
I should get some black licorice and acquire that taste...
I'd say the masses dying of starvation and exposure would reduce global warming, but the millions of cars will be replaced by hundreds of private jets that net greater emissions.
The poor factory workers will be more destitute, and the rich will always find a way fill that void. Fuck, they will force their pilot to fly the empty jet around the world just to make sure that conditions on earth dont improve and they eventually get to utilize their vault 3 miles underground before they die.
CO2 doesn't only come from fossil fuels. It comes from combustion in general.
We can go nuclear, but look at how Russia has ruined its entire country trying to do that (if you are not aware of how severe the radiation problem in all of Russia, not just Chernobyl, has become, there are tons of youtubers that do documentary style content, Plainly Difficult is one of my favorites).
Solar, wind, hydro can do it, but the amount of CO2 produced by manufacturing the generators is still massive. Its just producing the CO2 upstream in the process instead of during the actual power generation. It would take so many solar panels and windmills to replace burning coal that producing them would still release an amount of greenhouse gasses that rivals just burning the coal.
I don't disagree that we can make try moves to mitigate the damage, but giant red flags went out about Crypto mining. The power draw from AI is far surpassing that, and AI has hardly even started to spin up yet.
I hope for the day we figure out how to produce unlimited energy without destroying the atmosphere in the process, but its Newton's Third Law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Each "solution" comes with its drawbacks, but our thirst for electricity only ever grows.
The answer would be to make AI draw less power, not to create more power in different ways.
There is no way we are going to get CEOs to scale back their AI power draw when it gives them the ability to scan everyone's face and spy on them in a comprehensive, existential way. They are already using it on Anti-Zionist protesters. They are never going to give that kind of power up, but that kind of power requires an insane amount of... power.
Pretty sure you're being sarcastic, but just to be safe:
America massively subsidizes too... the difference between China and America is when China subsidizes an industry, prices for the good go down, and their market share expands. When America subsidizes an industry, prices go up and board members get richer.
The American business owners are salty that China is beating them at capitalism. And Biden has a strong track record of oppressing the people and standing up for the tyrants.
That's 3 dollars an hour with all social services and human needs met.
American auto workers might make 20 dollars an hour, but life costs 22 dollars an hour, and if you aren't in the auto union, you're fucked.
Agreed, Tax the rich, limit C Suite income, regulate rent/property prices, limit profit margins on food, lower interest rates, give actual universal Healthcare, and watch America stomp China in the industry.
Do none of that and stagnate the spread of green technology to make the riches even richer and you are DC.
Complaining about Chinese people being guaranteed food, shelter, and Healthcare, and that system yielding cheap green technology is counter productive.
Between migrant workers needing to go anywhere else (namely Florida to Martha's Vinyard), college protersters needing to be sent to Gaza, and now homeless (its not unhoused, thats newspeak. Its Sexual Assault not SA, its Murder/Suicide not Unaliving, its homeless, not unhoused) needing to be sent anywhere else, all I can fixate on is how obsessed The Party is with making people move (you can say "Its Republicans doing that!" but its not. Its the entirety of the Federal government advancing these narratives).
The modern strategy of the rich and the taint-lickers (government officials) is forced nomad lifestyle.
This is NOTHING new.
Strikes a nerve for me because I'm a quarter Gypsy (hailing from Bohemia, the region now called the Czech Republic). Gypsy is an EXTREMELY offensive term. In the Holocaust, "Jews" took the brunt, "Gypsies" took most of the rest, "Gays" and "Colored" took the rest.
Gypsies are kind of like Jews.
"Jews" in the largest sense, are those who were expelled from their homes and settled in a new home, all the adversity endured, as is depicted by Moses moving the Jews from Egypt to Bethlehem.
"Gypsies" are those who were expelled from their homes, and were met with gun-barrels wherever they went, so they were kept moving. Forced nomads.
Which makes me look at the news today. "Anti-Zionist" as in "against Israel displacing Palestinians with plans of luxury condos" is now called "Antisemitic". But if we go to the historical root of the words, Israel is acting like Egypt, and Palestinians are being made Jews, if you remove the religion "Judaism" from the mix.
And here in America, as the people identify as Anti-Zionist, but Palestinians are being displaced from their homes by Israel, arguably making them "Palestinian Jews" or "Palestinian Gypsies" depending on how the world treats their refugees, one of the big things the Supreme Court decided was that Homeless are Gypsies.
Send em packing. Shoot one of em dead, and that's cool as long as they keep moving. Over time, we will have shot all of em dead.
