Anon questions our energy sector
  • You know this really clarified something for me. So much fud on the internet is really about over simplification. If you take out all context and reduce something down to nothing you can make the conclusion whatever.

  • Is it that wrong to be glad about someone's death?
  • I was expecting a totally different glad but personally if someone wants to die or you know their life is horrible then its perfectly fine. My dad unfortunately survived a really long time with alzheimers and if I could have gifted him dying 10 years earlier I would have. He died bed ridden with an emaciated body and hands permanently balled into fists that could not unclenched. Even baby food would cause him to choke if not careful and he could not even make a coherent nonsensical sentence.

  • Companies spend hundreds of millions on them because they don't work.
  • I find this so stupid. Yes some people are not influenced by ads. I don't shop at a food store due to its ads. I never saw an ad for a steamdeck or an acer laptop. I don't eat fastfood now due to expense but the ads did nothing more than at best tell me of some new item which I might try. Im looking around my house and I can't think of any ad that correlates to the stuff I own. By and large everything was comparison shopped for aspects I wanted vs price.

  • Required reading for Solarpunks: “Tyranny of Convenience” essay by Tim Wu
  • I tend to like pbs so I will give that a watch when I get the chance but what I get from this last reply of yours is its not spend amount but how its spent. I recall a big thing with obama was utilizing internet at all as it was pretty traditional before then. I do see the effect as my wife gets to much info from youtube and I will hear dei and immigrant stuff from her. Its tough because it takes much longer for me to take a particular thing and find out what the specifics are and what they are and are not saying from the video than it does for her to watch one. I have been going over and over the way things will not be bald face lies but will distort or leave out important truths or such with each thing and despite that I will have to do it again. Im trying to get her to use fact check sites.

  • Required reading for Solarpunks: “Tyranny of Convenience” essay by Tim Wu
  • I don't really think thats true. Ads have an effect and its more or less depending on the person and for some folks I do think its zero and the effect is not necessarily positive for the campaign on those effected. I don't hear an ad and think maybe I will vote for trump and then another and think kamala. War chest wise to the big spend is with pacs that are capable of greatly outstripping the parties due to citizens united.

  • Brian K. Vaughan writing Forbidden Planet remake
  • I mean its such a classic I can see why folks will want it left alone, but it is a good story and its been a long time since it was filmed. It had such audacious concepts to for the alien technology that special effects of the time could not do justice to. I won't mind this as long as its done really, really well.

  • question(s) about etiquette in MMORPGs
  • im not social but once I got my chats under control I would joke and clown around on them. Well as well as give advice or do actualy game related talk. To me its sorta like a party and I was more likely to engage socially when I was just hanging for one reason or another and more likely to talk business when the action took place. Like champions had these whole zone super enemies called cosmics that popped every four hours and if you came last minute you would likely get locked out of the full zone and they were impossible to beat below a certain threshold of players. so like you would hang out ten or twenty minutes before and screw around. talk and emotes and whatnot.

  • Delection
  • It would not have been impossible but it would have been problematic. I mean he could send troops with the war powers act. Its possible but not really something he could realistically do.

  • Can somebody please explain to me what exactly is Scientology?
  • yeah. I don't even read good authors anymore. If I was I would not go for him. Heck I still have not finished wheel of time. I read all the jordan but not the wrapup by the other guy. I don't want to spoil but when the main character did that whole significant thing. I swear that book was like 10 mins long as it jumped between like two dozen different groups.

  • What do you do when you are bored?
  • It sorta depends. One of the toughest things is when im waiting on things and could be disrupted at any moment. So sometimes I don't want to get into a show or video game which are my go to. I oftentimes try to get tasks done like dishes or laundry.

  • Delection
  • this gets into a completely seperate thing. He could not give them it without congress but the US only very reluctantly restricts commerce. Its a very different thing to say im not going to fund your war and im not going to sell you stuff when dealing with a long time ally. And no you don't just throw away diplomatic relationships easily. If countries did they would have stopped having dealing with us in trumps first term.

    What do you think of free credit monitoring they offer after a breach?

    So here is the thing. Given the Eqifax breach I kinda feel like giving yet another agency to much information for them to monitor your credit is just another source of a possible future data breach.

    moving or backing up accounts?
    moist.catsweat.com moving or backing up accounts? - Ask Mbin - Moist: A Nonsense Aggregator

    Im curious if there is a way to have a backup account on another instance or to move to one between kbin and mbin? mainly to auto move susbscriptions and such. I saw a thing for mastadon where you log in on both sides but I can't find an option like that for kbin/mbin
