Actually you did vote for that buddy.

I feel like he would get along with my Cat Zuko

Educated guess:

1. To allow the supply chain to adjust so we don't cause a sudden shortage skyrocketing the price of solar, making homes more expensive to build or delaying construction
2. A lot of new build are basically copy pastes of the same design, so companies have time to properly adjust designs for them and not just haphazardly slap them on to existing ones which could cause problems
3. Red tape and Bureaucracy. Updating laws and regulation takes time, then there's risk assessments environmental planning, maybe adjustments to the grid layout on new estates.

All Disney employees are actually just clones of Walt Disney himself

And maybe he wouldn't be able to do as many action scenes/stunts because of his injuries?

I mean, sure, I guess? If you manage to kill someone on a bicycle then you did something extremely wrong.

But obviously this is just bait to take the conversation away from the much bigger car fatalities.

I don't want to go into a big long thesis so I'll try to summize.

America, now firmly cemented in its boarders, fully federalised and with a wealth of natural resources and ballooning population was becoming a big power by the start of the 20th century and American politicians were putting in considerable effort into undermining the big European powers, but especially Britain.

The British empire being so spread out made it hard to defend and control. So with Britain and it's colonies fighting on every front for the whole length of the war Britain lost many colonial holdings in Asia.

Those colonies also paid a heavy price in the fighting and independent movements flourished after the war and Britain didn't have the money or political will the fight them, so the empire dissolved.

America was able to use its war economy to massively ramp up its domestic manufacturing.

They were also able to use their position as financers and occupiers in Europe and Asia to extend considerable American influence to those regions. And also Latin America and the Caribbean. Giving American companies influence over much of the world without the obligations the British Empire had.

Reading the article was kind of scary, even until the end they were still emphasising the propaganda of woke Bolshevism.

You can use home depot rope for bandage, you jus5 have to boil it a bunch first to soften it, then use a lighter to burn away the prickly bits. And maybe coat it un a wax.

Cool, I'm not America and one side of my family comes from ex-soviet eastern Europe. So I know what I'm talking about and aren't just a "tourist".

Socialism is really just a better system than capitalism, even welfare capitalism. As capitalism is, by design, optimising for profit/power of people who are already rich or powerful. Any measures taken to curb that, or to protect poor people will always be fighting against the current of the system and so is always easier to reverse than to implement.

Socialism naturally protects the interests of the workers over profits, which means things like human rights and workers well being are natural heuristics of the system, so are therefore easier to implement than take away.

The "problem" with Socialism has always been either authoritarians taking advantage of the power vacuum created by socialist uprisings, or capitalists pouring massive resources into sabotaging Socialism to protect the profits and power of the rich and powerful.

Those problems are hard to get through, but if we ever do get through them, we will have an undoubtedly better system.

"I don't take my car to the people I know because they're far from me"

It's still wild to me that any developed nation DOESNT have mandatory road worthiness inspections.

Guy in 2258: hmmm what year shoukd I go to test my new mine machine for the first time?? Oh I know!

The grunkliest

Yeah but they don't have a hate boner for 30-40-50 year old like they do for "young people"

Honestly as someone under 30 I could accept this. Obviously universal 4 day week would be better, but if this would sell the idea to the boomers it would be worth it.

Honestly these comments are giving me hope that people are being sensible.

Too often in leftists spaces the conversation is dominated by the loudest voices taking the most extreme black and white position. Which just pushes makes the culture war nonsense worse.

Lmao

Am I also a traditional (if not a pretty shit) artist too, if that helps you not label me as an "other" because I don't share the same opinion as you?

Yes I volunteer with an after school club once a month to do a comp Sci "class" with disabled kids.

And one in particular who can barely hold a pencil without help and wouldn't even be able to draw a stick figure on his own cried when I set up the new chatgpt model for him.

But don't let that get in the way of the anti-AI circlejerk by all means.
