Is that why the animetitties sub now has actual anime titties again instead of being a more serious version of world news like it was for a while?

2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.

the internet was awesome for like … twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden…

And in order for hydro’s effects to be most easy to curtail, you need very specific terrain topology - such as where I live, in the Springfield area of Massachusetts, there’s a hydroelectric dam on the Connecticut River in South Hadley/Holyoke (the two sides of the river at that section):

The dam was built where there were natural falls. So the dam leveraged the fact that the change in water elevation was natural and already extant prior to the dam’s existence. They’ve had a fish elevator system for longer than I’ve been alive, too. Rather than changing how the hydrological system worked in the area, the dam stabilized it upstream such that the water level up the Connecticut River from there is more consistent than it used to be before - whenever there’s more water than usual, the dam can increase spill rate.

The city of chicopee, across the river from holyoke and just north of springfield, also has a hydroelectric dam, also built where there were natural falls. This region is pretty good for stuff like that, and our electrical supply is much hardier as a result!

Honestly though! Look at the region around Pripyat; that place is thriving.

Alternatively we could stash it in death valley where literally nothing lives, not even animals.

Stash, not drop: As nuclear technology progresses, we’ll get more efficient at using it as fuel and eventually the waste of today can become supplemental fuel of tomorrow, used much more thoroughly, and only be radioactive for a few hundred years instead of thousands.

Yes, AND, Nuclear is also cheaper in cost of human lives per gigawatt hour!

EVEN SOLAR AND WIND KILL MORE PEOPLE PER GIGAWATT HOUR THAN NUCLEAR.

(Hydro admittedly kills less people per GWh than nuclear, though - but not every place has that option.)

What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!

We’ve seen this work (to our detriment) with the ‘tea party’ -_- all i’m saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

If the green party even actually cared about the shit they purport to care about, they’d have been pro nuclear. That’s all I needed to hear in order to know they were worth absolutely none of my attention.

For fucks sake this should not be tight or close. It should be a gods damned CURB STOMP that destroys the Republican party for the rest of history DAMMIT.

Ubisoft will have to get used to people not owning their games.

Andrew Yang would have been better.

not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

And Trump wore a vibrating dildo up his ass that buzzed every time he lied, so at least that explains his behavior.

Precisely.

It is the act of an influential human. Of course we’ll notice. Simple as.

where’s your tax return diaper donnie

Especially now that aniwave is dead ;_; good night sweet prince

If only real justice would happen and thereby make vigilante justice feel less tempting…

you are not incorrect in your assertions, being that in a better world it wouldn’t matter. But we live in a stage of history where ignorance and disenfranchisement are tools of manipulation to keep a population docile, its citizens isolated from one another and helpless.

Everyone needs to learn that politics is not actually optional: it will affect your life no matter where you go as long as there are other people - because even if oneself is not political, those other people ARE. Your boss, your landlord, your banker, your pharmacist, your doctor, your neighbors, your friends and family. Politics Knows Where You Live.

People have power, but all too often they have been duped into not realizing it and lulled into an ineffectual stupor. That cannot be permitted to go on. And if a pop starlet can wake people up and make them pay attention to what’s being done to them instead of idly wasting their while on passive compliance to systems that are slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) killing them, then, well, fuck it I’ll take any advantage I can get.

ah ok that makes sense

desperately hoping deep down that she’s charging the death star laser and as soon as the tour is over she fucking vaporizes the republican party for their hubris -_-

… she still hasn’t disavowed the non-consensual abuse of her likeness in fake trump endorsements, has she? i was actively watching and listening to see a response from her and i haven’t heard anything. did i miss it somehow?
