Not really, she was too young to own a phone.

I felt like that when playing Pod Racer.

That would be a reduction in the service quality, which is the other thing that always happens when utility services are privatised. So you get to pay more money for less service. The company has no incentive to provide a good service, because what else are you going to do?

Batteries.

Batteries plus solar is still cheaper than all other power systems. It’s remarkable but true.

If it was private, you would pay more for the same service, because the private company has all the same costs as now, but also needs to make a profit. So if you keep it public, it will cost less.

The great thing about that, though, and the reason Korra is indeed a great show, is that the show itself explores whether they are a bunch of nepobabies, and whether they should even be doing what they’re doing. I loved that. It was a worthy successor.

I think I see why mainstream culture was so goddamn earnest and antisatire in the 40s and 50s.

Got banned for anti-Zionism.

Fawlty Towers.

Zug zug.

#bookz on Undernet. Still going strong for lots of pirated ebooks. I mainly buy on Google Books these days, but sometimes, when the one I want isn’t being sold anymore, I can find it there.

And the electric fence!

If Canada’s PM can see this, then why can’t Australia’s? Albo, are you really going to wait and hope not to be noticed while our ally turns into the Fourth Reich, doing nothing to separate ourselves before it’s too late?

Mostly correct. One note: the experts have been saying it’s worse than the IPCC (or any government) says it is since the 90s. The experts, in universities and legit research institutions all around the world, have long known this is going to be a shit show, and they have already accepted that we did not do what was needed to avoid impacts on the world that have a good chance to end human civilisation and kill billions of people. It’s not a slam dunk, btw, there are still ways to get away with, say, only hundreds of millions dead from starvation, war, disease, heatstroke, etc.

But no expert who has been paying attention thinks we’re getting out of this without at least that. I know a few of them, they’ve actually done their grieving already because they know we didn’t stop it when we could, and they know what’s coming.

I only came here when Reddit banned me, even though I knew about it for ages before that.

So we should get more people on Reddit to threaten violence against Nazis.

Okay, have fun taxing your own people, you stupid fuck.

We’re having this same discussion in Australia, where the number of guns you can own is now being restricted quite heavily. However, the limits are quite reasonable for people who need it for farm work, sports shooting, hunting etc. I’d hate to be a collector, because that might not be a thing any more.

As a country though we’re making the choice to prioritise lives over convenience, as we often do. And for that I am happy.

He’s not a murderer yet. Or a rapist. He just wants to be. Maybe we can get away with terrifying him out of the desire for evil.
