  1.  @sanjikaneki6226  China is leading development of green technology and planting huge forests to help. Meanwhile, a huge portion of their CO2 production is to produce cheap, disposable consumer goods for the US. I think China is awful. I want to be better than China, but we're not, so we need to spend less time finger pointing and more time getting our own house in order.

  2. ". . . and then they came for me, and there was no one left to say anything."

  3.  @9876karthi  it is, but it still may not be good enough. The boomers voting for Biden in the primary may just have lit the futures of the younger generations (which they already spend decades destroying) on fire.

  4. Because they're harder to make a safe version of. Ovulation is a periodic event that already has a built in off switch. All you need to do is use some natural hormones to trick the body into thinking it's already pregnant for part of the month, and you stop the 1-2 cells. Sperm production is an ongoing process producing millions with no natural off switch, so trying to stop all of that is much harder. It'd be nice to have, but it's just harder to figgure out.

  6.  @shadowcrux0  even setting the danger aside, it will never get cheap enough for lifting nuclear waste out of the gravety well and chucking it into deep space. The laws of physics won't allow it. Whoever you're getting that idea from doesn't understand the physics of what they're talking about at all.

  7. I'm out here on team "whatever we have time left to build" which thanks to sitting on our hands for decades, nuclear no longer has much (if any) place in. I used to be pro nuclear, but expediency is the name of the game right now.

  8. Being the land of the free is part of the American Dream. If you want to believe it, go back to sleep.

  9. And the dems have been moving right while snubbing those very demograpics. (Hillary especally) With luck, both parties are doomed.

  10. Mark domestically, right wing terrorism is a larger threat https://www.newsweek.com/2016/02/12/right-wing-extremists-militants-bigger-threat-america-isis-jihadists-422743.html (this is backed by FBI statistics btw)

  11. Metaphoically speaking, we've spent something like 50 years cutting down a small forest of those trees to build shoody gazebos with "no kids allowed" signs on them. We would have never gotten to this point without the unprecedented ageism of the boomer generation.

  12. Unfortunately some companies on Wallstreet base their hiring on wether you belonged to the right fraternity. Those companies largely run the US government, which largely runs the world. Let that chill run up your spine. (Also, they're largely associated with the huge amount of rapes and sexual assaults that happen in US colleges)

  13.  @ferguswatt2884  no, proof of concept was demonstrated in the 50s. Long term practical engineering needed for full deployment has not been entirely worked out.

  14. Shiftless Lazycrat this isn't fantastic, it's barely passable. It only looks good compared to the mainstream propaganda outlets that pass for "news" in America (and presumably at least a couple other western nations)

  15. That's not a political decision. That was a profit decision.

  16.  @del1rn  *progressive independent correcting a gross mistatement of the systemic source of the problem being economic forces rather than any laws, since there was clear pressure from the markets but no dirrect legal influence. I don't believe I blamed anyone, specifically, much less everyone yet correcting a mischaracterization of the problem gets me mischaracterized. Funny how that seems to keep consistently happening, isn't it. It almost seems like your side is arguing in bad faith.
