I’d also like to point out that when you say “the energy mix” you’re not meaning the energy mix used by this project.

If any of our energy is from fossil fuels then increasing the use of energy increases the use of fossil fuels. Even if a new project uses 100% renewable energy it will increase the amount of fossil fuels used until we’ve eliminated them completely.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they have an island of clones to get over that problem.

You can’t get past the old brain problem though so Donny’s shit out of luck.

Cardboard’s out

There are regulations governing the materials they can be made of.

There are several problems with making a deal like that.

The primary one is that they already had a deal with Russia and Russia broke it in 2014 and then again in 2022. So why would anyone believe that another deal would stick? They’d just take time to regroup and be back a few years later.

Another is that making a deal where Russia keeps the land that they have control over isn’t a deal, it’s letting Russia keep what they stole. What would Ukraine get from this deal (other than the end to the war as you pointed out)? That’s like making a deal with a burglar saying that they can keep what they stole as long as they get out of the house.

You should treat AI like an unpaid intern and check every word before using what they’ve written.

It can save you time but it can’t reduce it to zero just yet.

What’s the point of being the big boss if you can’t set your salary? You guys are so unreasonable. /s

I don’t think that the official story was that they would turn it over to the Taliban.

I think that it was that they would leave the local government to maintain their own security (knowing full well that they wouldn’t be able to).

My point is that you need to decide which games to play and that you have already judged a game when you decide not to play it.

You might not like the art style, or the gameplay, or the reviews or whatever but you have definitely judged it without playing it. The only other alternative is to literally download and play every game that you see.

If you can’t be bothered to actually try what you’re criticizing, you have zero business judging it. That’s not opinion—that’s ignorance.

If there are 700,000 games then you must judge games without trying them. Otherwise you’d be constantly playing games to see if they’re any good and would still not get through them all.

Yeah. Previously it would have been seen as banning an extremist party. Now it would be seen as election tampering.

lots of Iranian scientists who were working with the IAEA were murdered by the Israelis

That is correlation, not causation.

They were nuclear scientists so obviously work with the international atomic energy agency.

They were nuclear scientists so were a target for anyone who wanted to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program.

It must be awful to have a job that requires you to constantly say “Stop it guys!” knowing that it’s pointless because you know that they aren’t listening.

Palestinian journalists in Israel covering the conflict with Iran that began June 12 have been accused of “working for the enemy,” barred from reporting sites, physically assaulted, and subjected to racial slurs.

So they probably didn’t notice anything different then.

That’s easy to fix… new rules where the king and queen swap roles. Although that would mean protecting a woman above the men so maybe not.

Well, they’re at least ready to let their population die.

They are competitors on a personal level as many people only have the time or money to fit one of them into their lives. But by that definition cycling or golfing is also a competitor and nobody would write an article about how bikes outsold the Steam Deck.

Fuck off.

I’m sorry that I offended you. I was genuinely trying to be helpful in pointing out how what you said could be misconstrued.

But the ones that I have met expressed very overtly racist positions that were logically inconsistent in any other scenario: special pleading all the way.

I wasn’t, at the time, back around a decade ago now, telling my white liberal friends ‘all Israelis are racist because I met a few’.

I’m not saying that you were being racist. I’m saying that it’s very easy to come across as racist when pointing out things that you don’t like about a few people off the same race.

You are here doing the thing my former friends did: You are assuming I did and said things I did not do nor say, and are pearl clutching… because you’ve head canon’d in your own missing context and additional details.

I’m doing no such thing. I wasn’t judging you for your observations and I made no statement about whether I thought you were racist or not because I don’t have the information required to suggest that you are.

But did you read the entire article that is this post?

No, I didn’t need to because I was only making the comment that it’s very easy to be seen as racist when you talk about a race of people.
