And none of that has had a noticeable effect on my QoL or any of the people I know, that I’ve talked to about this subjects since I read this post.

So never, because that is for sure not going to happen.

I have not experienced any QoL reductions due to global warming. Not any that affects me in a noticeable negative way anyways.

Which reductions in QoL are you thinking of?

They have plenty of wind energy too.

People won’t listen because they’ve heard something similar for decades now, and for most people in the western world they haven’t really experienced any decline in QoL due to global warming.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

I don’t know enough to be able to say how easy it is to take over, but having been done by a single person could mean that no one else has the skills or the interest to do it, or maybe to do it as well as the original person.

I can definitely see why it could make a Linux user worried.

That’s not obvious at all…

Maybe it is to people who are really deep into the Linux world but generally if there’s only a single person in the world doing something, it’s never obvious that someone else will start to do that if the first person stops.

You support stopping random people from going where they’re going but I’m the selfish prick…

Edit: I’m not begging anyone to do anything. I’m arguing with logic… That seems to be aggrevating to people like you.

Edit2: also I’m not trying to get people’s sympathy. The people protesting are…

I will if I feel like our politicians deserve it. I definitely won’t hold people hostage to try and get them to sympathise with me…

I’m glad you were put in prison. Go protest in front of where politicians live or in front of the parlament. Don’t inconvenience normal people.

Best case scenario, you achieved to piss of a bunch of random people. Worst case you killed someone who was having a heart attack and being rushed to the hospital.

True, they don’t have the same kind of wind usually but their forests are immensely more flammable.

I’m not an expert but from everything I can find about this topic it seems like fire prevention absolutely could have avoided most of the houses that burned down.

I know but it’s also a bit of a cop out from the ones responsible for this. There are controllable factors that the state just ignored for years on end.

I’m all for renewable energy and limiting climate change as much as we can but theres a reason thousands of homes doesn’t go up in flames in Sweden or Finland. Both of those countries manage their forests and does fire prevention regularly.

And probably will be our cross to bear forever.

It’s the ironic thing about power. Generally the people who end up in power are the ones seeking it and they’re generally the people you least want to lead you.

I’m not going to laugh at you. I like having discussions with people that see things differently than myself.

I definitely agree that Trump is a fifth columnist as he’ll work for whoever pays him well or who can give him more power. He doesn’t give two shits about the US.

My entire point is I don’t think he does it to destroy stuff or to be evil. He does things purely based on what he perceives can benefit him. Often those things won’t actually benefit him, but he’s not that smart so he’ll do it anyway.

The epstein scandal is a good example. I doubt most of the people who partook in the sex with underage girls was thinking "let me destroy as much as I can of this young girls life. They just see a pretty young girl they’d like to fuck and they don’t care about the consequences.

Generally I think a lot of our conspiracy theories tend to make things more complicated than they are. Most of the time, evil is being done because someone wants more money, power or sex.

I’m not arguing against the fact that climate change is real but looking at fires and going “see, global warming* is about as silly as showing a snowball and going” see, no global warming. "

I don’t think Trump is actively trying to harm the country. If he could make more money and get more power by being green and woke he’d do that.

I just think he does whatever gets him more money and power and he does not care about the consequences to the nation at all.

Honestly, looking from the outside on US politics I have a hard time remembering a presidential candidate, besides Bernie Sanders, that seem to care for the average people living in the US.

Now that no EVs get subsidies they’ll have to compete directly with ICE cars which is going to be tricky in the US I think.

I’m going to be very surprised if tesla sales won’t suffer in the US. Maybe not as much as legacy OEM EVs though.
