Perhaps I came off as too hostile. I read your comment and I thought it was potentially harmful and I’m incredibly depressed, so I wrote a hasty sniping response. I tend to think of things said as their effects in aggregate rather than the virtue of the person saying it.

I’m also bi and arguably aromantic. And intend to remain childfree.

Its a normative statement. It contributes to alienating people without wives or kids.

I consider it normative to suggest that such is “normal” and suggests not having a wife or kid(s) as “abnormal”. At least by implication.

I mean it was pretty strongly implied but ok

“Wife and a kid” = normal life.

hmmmm.

As much as I hate private ownership of the means of production, her death is tied more to Musk and Republicans. And everyone even slightly responsible for Trump’s victory through action or inaction.

To top it off, if the US was pressured to reduce its CO2 as harshly as possible, you’d probably force the US to improve its walking and bicycle infrastructure in cities and add additional pressure to incentivize people to move closer to work, likely drastically improving the average American’s quality of life through shorter commutes, less dangerous driving related deaths, less pollution, and less social atomization.

The only people external pressure to reduce CO2 would really hurt are like the richest 10-5% of people here anyway. So I’m all for it even beyond the environmental benefits.

Make it per capita, why compare 300 million Americans directly to 1.3 BILLION Chinese.

Probably because total amount of CO2 is what matters to avoiding ecological doom. Further, economies and CO2 regulations are largely segmented between US, EU, and China.

We need CO2 Tariffs on USA NOW!!!

Yea tbh. I’m in agreement as someone from the US. Anything that potentially reduces CO2 is a good thing.

Sometimes I have shit I need to run overnight.

TBH I want to reduce the LED’s on mine because its in my bedroom and I can’t seem to figure out if there is a way to turn them all off so I can sleep better…

TBF, cooling is cheap, GPUs are expensive.

IDK man, they were prepped that’s what Project 2025 was, a plan.

Its just that they’re also extremely fucking stupid.

He looked legit surprised when he won

He was surprised the first time as well.

IDK what this meme is trying to say. Its making some leaps.

Trump is scaling back the NSA and CIA isn’t he?

Yeah, he made a huge mistake.

Its merely that most Americans are dumb as fuck.

You’d have to build new roots in a new place. I’ll admit I worry that I’m running out of time for that at my age, or at the very least the window is closing.

Makes me feel pretty depressed. I’m not super happy with the landscape of people I have to interact with. I have a lot of decent friends but I feel like the number of very close friendships I have is zero due to a lot of major value differences and low population.

Fuck man, I wish I could afford move to Canada right now.

I’m introverted, I liked them immediately.

They aren’t nearly as motivated to go as fast as I am, and they can only bag one person at a time and have lines, while usually there are 4-6 machines wide open for me to jump onto immediately.

I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.

EDIT: also lonely old people will stop and chit chat sometimes slowing shit even more.
