There are plenty of ways to offset emissions,

show me a single one that can offset any significant amount of carbon emissions in any kind of useful timeline. they range from hideously expensive to outright insane (requiring more energy to sequester than was emitted in the burning). of course you’re dumb enough to believe in these fantasies - big oil are the ones selling those too.

you’re a fool, who’s entertained by foolish things, and believes foolish solutions will come save you.

you’ve missed the entire point. we wouldn’t vote for a trump no matter what party. we weigh the good against the the bad and make an informed, imperfect decision.

That’s the system we’ve got. Man, I would love for this election to propel a new third party based on ideal policies into the fray - I REALLY DO - but whining and moaning that you WON’T choose between the two NOW is years too late. And it fucks LGBTQ, women, immigrants, ukraine and so many others over.

Stop being a one-issue dilettante and join the real world.

Now that there’s reporting that the Biden admin explicitly okayed the aid worker strikes

citation requested.

One party has actual muslims in it’s caucus. the other party is obviously in the bag for Bibi.

I call bullshit, you were either never going to vote or never going to vote dem either way.

the food would always have to be put in the machines fresh every day.

ate from these on a few occasions as a kid, and no, they were not fresh every day. I remember my mom sniffing egg salad sandwiches and throwing half the ones they purchased in the trash at a rest stop. also had them at rest stops in the UK in the late 80s as well. it was not great.

64gb of ram. 32 cores.

if you keep many chonky applications open it’s lovely.

unsimulated

seems like an unnecessarily extra word. you could just say 'included live piercing, sexual intercourse and blah blah…

ok, how 'bout this:

you enjoy watching idiots produce smog that’s not necessary AS YOUR FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT, and the rest of us will despise your shitty choices.

obviously you are never going to comprehend IT ALL NEEDS TO GO. Because this is your chosen form of entertainment, you don’t give a shit about your children’s future and will selfishly cling to a ‘sport’ which consists of idiots racing in circles.

You do you. what a strange fetish.

Their hobby is a feat of mechanichal engineering, and like I said, their prescence accounts for less than 1% of total emissions.

their presence accounts for less than 1% of total emission for what? it’s far below total combustion emissions so I have no idea what you’re on about; if you’re asserting that the race itself only uses 1% of the total expended to move the cars to the next race etc., I’ve got radical advice bud:

you could end 100% of that emission by just STOPPING. Let them mario kart, let them gran turismo ffs.

The research and development that goes into these cars can also translate to consumer cars.

yeah this seems like the nasa argument but the actual returns are tiny, teeeny amounts of cross-pollination from the race world to the real world, because even though the real world might benefit from something like radical aerodynamics (vacuum motors for example) don’t work on city streets, or they’re so feverishly expensive that they can’t be applied to the average car.

Cute canard tho.

Here is an interesting read showcasing that f1 puts out one tenth of the emissions that the world cup does and also shows that the races themselves only cover 0.7% of the sport’s emissions. So that is 0.7% of <1% of global emissions, which is negligible.

well that’s fine because I’d like people to stop travelling massive distances for sportsball too. no need to compare, cut 'em both.

Guys who roll coal are deliberately harming the environment for the sake of making a really stupid point.

I don’t disagree but it doesn’t let f1/nascar/etc off the hook. their ‘hobby’ is racing in circles burning gas.

Let me type that again, because the absurdity is powerful:

THEIR HOBBY IS RACING IN CIRCLES BURNING GAS.

work it out mate.

the tech debt effect is hilarious

Seems like the gamergate chuds are trying to make stories happen in a bunch of places.

I have no doubt that the hardest part of Shotwell’s job is Elon-management.

now that’s job security

A lot of the places I lived growing up didn’t have sidewalks.

Rural roads man.

my dad always said: walk facing toward traffic, and make eye contact with drivers, so they can be haunted by your face for the rest of their lives if they run you over.

when are the sportos gonna realize their silly, pointless man games are another distraction from the horrible reality these same actors create?

oh fuck, the world’s overheating!

better get some footy clubs playing in Riyadh then!

fucking bellends
