It is sensitive subject, but dont act like it is something everybody everywhere are familiar with it.
For example i was something like 14 or 15 years old when i saw somebody with differend colour skin for the first time (outside of tv). Slavery was also just a side note on history classes, not because it was covered in shame, but because it did not play any major role in our history. It was just something that happened somewhere.
Somebody has not read the older comics. Movie Deadpool is pretty mild in comparison to comics.
Things he has done to Blind Al or the time he used his child as a bait and she survived only because Quicksilver saved her
Dunno.
My samsung washing machine is now 9 years old with zero problems.
I think its mostly a bias. If manufactorer-A sells 10 apliances and manufactorer-B sells only one, its means repair people should also see 10 machines from A for every machine from B
Ai uses energy --> Using AI to make stupid shit uses energy for stupid things.
You can use mental gymnastics as much as you want about base load of electric grid or stabilising the load or what ever, but it does not change the fact that when you use AI it uses energy that would not be used othewise.
Saying that it does not matter if the generator powers your AI waifu or something else is just moronic. I can also say that leaving my tv on or not shutting my lights when leaving the house effects jack all in the global sense, but that is not reason to not shut those down when i leave my apartment.
Just to walk you trough my reasoning.
Change needs money. That 1,8% can generates lots of money that can be used to fight pollution in other ways. We could easily rise the taxation and that 1,8% could turn in to 1,5% or something.
If we start to ban private jets conpletelly by changings laws, it will be long process and even if one country bans it there will always be poor countries or tax heavens that will find a way to enable it. It will turn in to a game of aviation wack-a-mole and the gran price of that work will be 1,8% reduce in emission.
On the other hand we could make bigger impact from commercial side while not losing tax revenue as much. Its hard to get real numbers but its likely ghost flights alone are close to same pollution as private jets, not to mention that average commercial flights has only 80% of the seats filled.
So my thinking in short is that any impact with banning private jets is dwarfed by anything done in the commercial side.
And im not saying private jets are good. Im against those. People just need to understand that they are very minor part of the aviation pollution.
To be honest the planet does not care how you compute it.
Quick google-fu said private jets are about 1,8% of the total airtravel pollution. If you want whats good for the earth, focus on the half empty and empty commercial flights that big airlines do because they want to keep their hangar places. That makes much bigger part of the overall pollution.
I say: let the rich fly, just make it so they pay enough taxes for it compencate for it.
It is intresting to see if we go that way, or if our future will be more Orwellian in its nature. Might go ine way or another.
I somewhat agree, but on the other hand its not the right place to do it.
If somebody would come and play bagpipes, or start yodel in a courtroom or parlament they would be asked to stop too. And i bet if in those cases they would not stop, they would get reprimands too. No matter how cultural it is.
Hah. I would not compare yearly money graps to GTA. Every 3d GTA has been setting the new standard for the genre.
Mostly agree with you, but two things.
Movement techniques should always be optional and not necessity to do. Somebody wants to zip around and somebody wants to stay still and fire away. Some mechanics solve problems, but some just are there to give freedom.
Guns. They have spend three main games and four spinoffs building the companies. At this point the manufactorers are basically characters. Why chance it?
Only thing ripening now is the dog poops that are slowly getting revealed under melting snow.
Im confused? I have heard mostly positive things about the game.
The first few episodes were a slog, but it got much better.
I recomment to give it a try. Maybe start straight from season 2.
Yes! We donr have pet names either, but we have this dumb way to walk, where we sway in same rythm like penguins.
Its dumb and silly, but when we do it we know we are having a good time.
Got it. To beat my friends at chess i just need to learn to play chess.
Werent it more a flex how rich you were?
“See that lord over there. He is so rich he does not even need to use all off his land for agriculture.”
I think it depends where they fight.
If polar bear would fight in the jungle it would get hot and go to drink water. At that time it would be completelly open for suplex from the gorilla.
And if they were to fight on the ice sheet the gorilla would not have any trees where to hang tire swing and he would get depressed and unintrested to fight. So in the end it boils down to what kind of social services and safety nets are in the arctic and can they help primates like 1989 released Belgian techno anthem Pump up the jam can help humans.
Why Gates in the picture tough?
He stepped down as a chairman over 10 years ago and didint he leave the microsoft board like 5 years ago?
Bah. I dont care about lead, microplastics or even covid.
Chernobyl and mad cow-disease are my jam.
