Unless you were gay, or female, non-white or lived in Eastern Europe, Asia (minus Japan), India, Africa, South America or Central America.

I assume that bunkers protect you from a chain reaction, but that at some point the explosion is big enough that a chain reaction is exactly what you get.

This definitely seems like it would have been big enough to cause a chain reaction (and/or big enough to show that a chain reaction happened). If so, I wonder what fraction of bunkers exploded. I’m glad we live in an age of civilian satellites, so it’s probably just a matter of time before we get to see the damage for ourselves.

someone had set money aside

That’s a very nice way to say “embezzle”.

This made my ultra-catholic mother really angry. If non-catholic people didn’t go to hell, then what was the point of all the effort she was putting in? She went to church every day. She followed rules like not eating meat on Friday. To her, it was really unfair that someone might get to go to heaven without having to put in all that work. How is anybody supposed to be a good person if they’re not constantly terrified of hell?

Needless to day, despite following the rules, I don’t really think she lives by the spirit of her religion.

The companies are not good or evil, they’re neutral. They only care about making money.

If burning more oil generates more profit, they’ll do that. If burning less oil generates more profit, they’ll do that. And, they’ll stop operations as soon as people stop buying their products/services.

On the other hand, they’re not honest. They use marketing to create a demand for their products and services. They lobby politicians to be exempt from regulations. They lie about how environmentally friendly they are.

You can’t 100% blame these companies for climate change because they’re just selling things that people want to buy. But, you also can’t 100% blame people for buying those things because they’re not doing it with full informed consent about what’s happening with the money they hand over.

In the end, we need to completely change the way western civilization lives if we want to slow climate change down, and part of that process will involve punishing companies that don’t prioritize doing things in an environmentally friendly way.

There are money people?

Not all the tials were crewde.

How does that affect the newsworthiness of a protest? It seems like you just came up with two bigger, higher priority stories that they should be covering.

That took seconds, listening to everything Jordan Peterson puts out takes hours and hours.

I know one woman who, from her 60s to her 80s, lived in a building that she co-owned with two good friends. Each one had her own full apartment. But, they were able to support each-other. I also know plenty of younger women who have roommates.

I don’t think being single necessarily means being alone. Although, it’s true that modern western society makes the coupling up option much more low-friction than other ones.

You don’t need to stay with a devil at all.

Some women are apparently terrified of being single. I’ve known some who have never been single for more than a few days since they turned 15 or something. I know it can sometimes be more complicated than that, but it’s a contributing factor.

That’s also bad. You regularly hate-watch him? Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?

It should only take you about 15 minutes of watching him to understand his gimmick. He used undefined and undefinable terms like “cultural marxism”. He cherry picks out of context sciencey stuff to back up his point of view. He acts super serial all the time to make people think he’s a serious person. That’s it. You don’t need to watch any more.

Imagine how Dunning Krugerey you have to be to think that 10 years off an on in the military, plus a lot of time as a talking head on TV is the appropriate background to be Secretary of Defence.

I’m sure that the average Secretary of Defence probably has to face imposter syndrome all the time. But this guy, nope, he’s so confident that he belongs that there isn’t even a nagging voice saying “hey, maybe you shouldn’t be sending this confidential information to your relatives and friends”.

“A currency is a standardization of money in any form, in use or circulation as a medium of exchange, for example banknotes and coins.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency

It doesn’t meet the requirements to be a currency. It’s a commodity.

Gold isn’t a currency, it’s a commodity.

It’s not necessarily your opponent who has to have a conscience. Sometimes it can be people they depend on.

Like, with Gandhi, the British Empire didn’t really have a conscience. But, there were reporters present, and they reported on what happened. The story got out to regular people in Britain, to regular people in India, and to people worldwide. The British empire knew that if they let Gandhi die, India would erupt, other countries would boycott them, etc.

Why?

And, part of the reason for that is section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

If a TV station or radio station has a call-in show and the caller swears, it’s the station that gets fined. If the station runs a late night informercial where someone is defamed, the station is liable. But, do it online and you’re fine. The YouTube algorithm can pick out the juiciest, most controversial, most slanderous content and shove it into everyone’s recommendations and only the person who posted that content is responsible.

Section 230 makes sense in some situations. If you’re running a bulletin board without any kind of algorithm promoting posts, then it makes sense that you shouldn’t be held accountable for what someone says in that bulletin board. But, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. have all taken it too far. They don’t personally create the content, but they have algorithms that analyze the content and decide who to show it to. They get the protections of a bulletin board, while curating the content to make it even more engaging than a segment on Newsmax or MSNBC.

Luckily, they probably won’t have any.
