Blocked for me. What does the first line of that link say?

The fuck we are

Nebula.tv is great, but won’t replace all of YouTube.

Alternatively, gather the IP addresses of family and use your reverse pretty to restrict some subdomains to that trusted list of IPs.

The downside is that when someone’s IP changes you have to update. Make sure you track which IP belongs to which person.

Hilarious. Should we tell Canada, Australia, China, and Germany they’re not rich?

True. Thanks for that, .ml.

Oh yeah? What’s your beacon of a country? England? France? China? Russia?

The fact is we were generally dragging the world (in hand with Europe) towards better ideals, like equal rights for all, democracy, and eliminating low level corruption.

It wasn’t always the case, and was certainly in fits and starts. But in our absence I don’t see China or India having that generally positive influence on the world.

Yes, there’s room for improvement. But if we’re at a C while most other countries are content with an F, well…

USAID has done a lot of good around the world.

I imagine if you compile a list of the worst any country has done that it’d look a lot like this.

That doesn’t excuse anything, but all those things don’t add up to Nazi Germany or 2026 Israel.

We’re working on showing you what fascism really is.

Oh? Tell me about your country then.

There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad.

America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,.

Nixon was out after Watergate. You don’t have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm.

This is Idiocracy.

I would like off Commodus’s wild ride. Thanks in advance.

Because you have to pay a good chunk of a year’s salary for one, store it around your house somewhere, and then when you finally do get to use it, there are a million other people with the same idea and you have to compete just for space in which to use it.

And that’s before you get to all the maintenance the government has to spend on the paths (and make you pay tax for all that). Oh, and it’s incredibly dangerous, so dangerous that it’s one of the leading causes of death in the US.

To be fair, I’m not sure we could have eliminated gas from residential heating. That’s a big lift.

If we had gone nuclear and managed to make electricity pretty cheap, maybe.

I don’t think we’d have to fully end fossil fuels to stay under 2C. I think getting rid of them in power plants, road vehicles, and ocean vessels would have been enough.

And that probably would have taken less resources than these data center rollouts.

We could have kept oil in airlines and military.

That’s funny because the other complaints were that it takes too long.

Maybe. It doesn’t make much sense that the same US government Republicans are preparing for the worst that could have just prevented it. Staying under 2C wasn’t that difficult. The hardest part was getting China to go along, and that’s gone reasonably.

I think that was “The Little Mermaid”.

I’d rather take the extra 2 minute walk out of my neighborhood than live in a street with bus traffic.

There are things to be fixed. The grocery store is a 15 minute walk (one way) IF I trespass through a neighbor’s yard and hop a large fence. So instead it’s half an hour each way.

There is no public transit to speak of here, cul-de-sac or not.

I just think this anti cul-de-sac take is extreme.

We still have legs. It’s not that hard to walk 400m.
