- Comment on Means to deceive 5 days ago:
correct, if the means of production were owned by the oppressed then we wouldn’t need to buy anything when just taking it is free
- Comment on Means to deceive 5 days ago:
I’m heartened by your reply.
there’s a point to be made on the other hand that the wheel made industrialization possible and we all know how that worked out for the people who refused laboring for wages. not all cultures even needed wheels because their local geographies didn’t necessitate using wheeled transport
- Comment on Means to deceive 5 days ago:
no, where did I say that? I’m disabled and I can’t work, so I rely on begging people to keep me alive
- Comment on Means to deceive 5 days ago:
why would giving up my job be a bad thing? i don’t dream of labor. I’m also against people being fired through but let’s not act like having job is natural, that’s one of the most pervasive myths of capitalism

it is a binary though, otherwise white people wouldn’t only be talking about Pretti and Good. the white media ensures it stays so with our complicity

if anything people focus on him and Good too much while saying nary a peep for the Black victims like Keith Porter Jr. who end up erased

that’s horrible for queer or disabled kids who need to connect to online communities of peers who are going through the same struggles they face.
most kids rely on their parents to go places and if they’re in a conservative area, online spaces are their only reprieve from their alienating local community. think only Black kid in a sundown town, only trans girl in a red town, only wheelchair user in a rural community
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 4 weeks ago:
if you’re not in a Union join one, ask around your national unions what it would take to organize a solidarity strike. international strikes are pretty common around the globe

or you could have some common decency and join the strike in solidarity instead of being a whiner

- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
sure they do, why do you think they’re buying lithium mines? they love mining resources because it encourages the “infinite growth” feedback loop to keep going
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
that is correct and that would unfortunately be a problem if we expect everyone to own a boiler instead of building neighborhood thermal battery/central heating systems. a lot of post-soviet countries had perfectly functioning stations for doing exactly that, but they were torn down during neoliberal reforms instead of converting them to modern standards
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
couldn’t be more wrong, also we have this thing called insulation and water tanks. we already use water loop radiators here, there’s nothing stopping us from preheating the water to last us through the night. also, wear more layers instead of being a wussy
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
The CO2 is in a CLOSED LOOP system meaning its not going to be leaching into the atmosphere.
yeah, sure thing buddy. the CO2 will be in a closed loop until it won’t. just like Fukushima and Chernobyl were supposed to be closed loop systems, until they weren’t. disasters happen, no matter how much the techbro mindset insists that they’re impossible.
The CO2 is likely harvested directly from the atmosphere
LMAO, the audacity of telling me I don’t know how electricity generation works when you don’t even know how to read. they’re using industrial CO2 derived from fossil fuels
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 2 months ago:
subsidize energy storage solutions that aren’t as economically profitable as fossil fuels. like thermal batteries, pumped hydro, etc.
most people don’t need that much energy during the night, so that is a red herring from the energy companies. the reason why we need this much storage in the first place is because of the infinite growth mindset instead of making industrialists pay for their own shit when they’re consuming energy in a race to the bottom. if we banned all the slop products from being made, energy demand would go down exponentially.
in a worst case scenario, we could 100% only rely on renewables and deal with the fact that we’ll have power outages during sleeping hours. that pill would be much easier to swallow if everyone is sharing the same burden, like during the lockdowns. and for the disabled people that need electricity to stay alive, give them refurbished EV batteries for free, there’s already more of them on the market than we could use in a lifetime. same thing for hospitals and essential institutions

As per Energy Dome
But the gas wasn’t captured from factory emissions, nor was it pulled from the air. It came from a gas supplier, and it lives permanently inside the dome’s system to serve an eco-friendly purpose
these people are straight-up lying, how can CO2 be “eco-friendly” when all its industrial extraction processes involve fossil fuels as a source? notice how they didn’t mention who their gas supplier is? that’s because it would out them and their lies.
it’s impossible to buy gas turbines without ultimately funding the fossil fuel giants. also let’s not ignore the environmental catastrophe that would happen if these were deployed en masse and a corruption scandal like the Beirut port explosion happened.
it’s also not lost on me that this company is willing to contract with Xinjiang companies, despite the genocide that China is comitting there.
it’s concerning whenever Google gets excited about a new energy solution because we all know how they treat the environment around their data centers. if deployed, they’d use the hot breath bubbles to excuse their seemingly infinite energy consumption increase in order to keep the AI bubble from popping. this is carbon credits all over again, they’ll use the CO2 to deploy more methane gas turbines because these would “cancel them out”.

fast food isn’t bad for you, unless you only eat only fast food for years. if you wanna recreate the MCD taste at home, try sprinkling MSG on your food.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 2 months ago:
nobody said Ethereum had to be controlled by the state but when most of the influential figures who keep it running, including its creators participated in inflating the NFT ponzi scheme you can’t say it isn’t a scam because it’s “decentralized”. BTC and ETH don’t meet any definition of decentralization, that’s why DAOs failed
