Why would you be banned lol

You just made me realize that TikTok is still available in browser form. What a bunch of fuss over nothing.

No, not at all. We should build an independent liberatory movement that exists primarily outside of the political system.

What is that reason because I don’t get it?

Sounds more like a leak than an announcement.

Probably no one can stop it immediately but it’s up to citizens to run interference as much as we can safely.

If you are in Chicagoland connect with your local orgs, I guarantee you there are some people strategizing against this.

Resistance to Trump was fairly successful. It’s one reason his first administration was so ineffective.

It’s kind of scary that people are responding so passively and pessimistically this time. We need to rally and energize if we’re going to make it through the next 4 years and protect the people his administration seeks to harm.

Seems a bit redundant there.

I think a lot of people might not realize how strategically constrained international relations are. There are only so many possible solutions to this conflict and Trump’s incompetence or malevolence can only interfere to a certain extent. Especially when others within the government who are negotiating this deal have real interests in protecting Ukraine.

That said, I think the most likely outcome is no deal but we’ll see.

Reddit? What’s that?

I know we’re all supposed to be dunking on this for being “cringe” or whatever but honestly what’s the harm? It’s an object and if it brings people joy that’s their business not mine.

Maybe someday but I think it’s a long way off, and again, other sources of water would be far more practical so even if it becomes possible it’s unlikely to be economical.

But putting distant future hypothetical tech aside I doubt this is a factor here. The emerging mineral resources are reason enough on their own.

Resource extraction yes but there’s no practical way to transport large quantities of water from Greenland to the West where it’s needed. People have come up with similar ideas with the Great Lakes but the engineering required is insane and would be the largest public works project in human history.

There are much much cheaper ways to increase water supplies in the West, and some of them may even be worthwhile.

During the drought it was awful you could barely go outside for weeks on end. Last few years had been better until now but we’ll see. Extremely weird to have fires in January like this.

This really doesn’t end as well for you as you think it does.

Thanks, I will need to read up on these things.

Still a hell of a lot more democratic than China is. I get what you’re saying but there’s still a long way to fall from our flawed democratic institutions.

As someone who plants a lot of trees, the main benefit in my view is the huge protective effect they’ll have on extreme heat in urban areas. They’re an essential climate adaptation strategy but not a very good preventative one.

Nationalism is a plague on humanity.

There are some restrictions on price increases but they are allowed to and have been making all sorts of nonsensical demands of homeowners with the threat of cancellation as a way to get out of policies in certain areas.
