I'm cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

I wouldn't categorize myself as agorophobic, as I DO enjoy my time spent outside as long as I'm not in crowds or socializing with more than a handful of people, but it definitely got worse after covid.

Home is where what little stuff I do have is, and there's nobody there that I dislike or dislikes me. Outside is increasingly hostile for humans with climate change, and the likelihood that I might get shot over my political stances because a neighbor thinks I might have different political views has never been higher.

So yeah, I don't go out as much either and covid was definitely the tipping point of "I don't go out much anymore"

I mean.... A hammer works pretty well, too.

Make it an art piece.

Broken Dreams, 2025

This is something I would expect a chemistry type content creator like codyslab, nilered/blue, or E&I to do just to demonstrate how feasible it is.

With a cost breakdown and showing what chemical waste remains after the fact, it would be super obvious it's not worth it unless you have some sentimental attachment to it, like it was your great grandparents pan or something.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I'm convinced economics "professionals" have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. "I know it's bullshit but they're giving me money, so..."

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

And the best part is, you don't have to try choosing the right one!

Just slap it all on, and each republican will happily pick the one they like best and cling to it, while dismissing everything else as immaterial to whatever discussion they are in.

crazy journalistic cowardice

That's all we've been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn't like, it's even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don't want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

Well as long as no one tries to convince me there are more than four lights...

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

Gotta start them while they're young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.

It was funny, I was mostly commenting that the reddit watermark, whether put there by a user or reddit itself, is just how all meme based sites seem to devolve to. Very "our brave troops vs their heathen barbarians" us vs them.

I love the reddit watermark

It truly has become the ifunny of today.

So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they "forget" these things, well so be it. It's what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.

The strike through is there SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE it's kidnapping, and the italics are the "official" line.

It's supposed to be a text indicator like /s indicates sarcasm.

Well then by definition, it's no longer secure.

Maybe this will give people some fabulous ideas.

"Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene"

... Probably Americans.

reads the very next line

Wow, I'm soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.

Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???

Personally, I think suppressor should be the least of illegal things about firearms.

The majority of the people I know with one have it so they don't bother their neighbors as much and they have a little extra buffer zone for their earpro.

I'd much rather it sound like my neighbor is using a large sledgehammer all day than gunshots.

The masks, lack of clear identification (not "I'm a cop" but actual identifying information), and what looks like 270 rounds of ammo waiting to go for a supposed kidnapping deportation are of FAR greater concern.
