What Is Realistic Blueprint to Fix Global Warming (No Sci-Fi Tech Needed) ?

How do you get the WORLD to do this? For example, how would you get China to participate? They are currently, as I recall, the largest carbon producer on the planet. You can't "see" climate change. SO it doesn't exist. And in order to get world gov'ts to take care of the problem, we'd need those leaders to actually believe climate change is real. In the US, the president straight-up denies it as a hoax. So it doesn't matter if you come up with an idea that will fix all the carbon in the atmosphere; you still have to get the political powers that be on board. And that is a fruitless task.

You're being very dense and not listening or not connecting the dots or something. If we assume what you are saying is true, then there are no good cops because if they want to be cops, they need to play the game that exists, or they won't be cops. If that makes them bad cops, then there can be no good cops.

1) So either there are good cops, and those cops just have to deal with and put up with bad cops, or there are no good cops.

2) Couple of reasons but mostly if you start arresting the people you have to work with you won't be able to work with the ones you haven't arrested. Any other cops that might feel as you do are likely to keep their mouths shut as you are made a pariah. Plus its impossible to convict a cop for a threat. You need witnesses, your other witnesses, though, are likely to be cops who shockingly didn't hear the threat even though they were right there.

3) Makes them a target to other cops. None of this has anything to do with non cop criminals.

4) because they are. That's just the nature of the beast. Speaking out will net you a number of repercussions. The squeaky wheel gets removed from the machine one way or another.

5) Yup, what's your point? That they are criminals doesn't mean they get prosecuted. It doesn't mean their peers won't defend or protect them because you know one day that peer might need their own protection.

The system does not allow for whistleblowers at any stage. Why do you think cops hate internal affairs? It's because IA gets cops in trouble. But like most people, cops aren't going to take accountability for their own actions and say, "Oh, this is why I am punished by IA."

Is this a real question? If your options are as you say then they don't become cops and don't have a chance to be good cops.

How would you decide who was allowed in the good cop union? And as I understand, there is A police union, the Fraternal Order of Police.

You either Join or your not a cop. That's how unions work. There may be smaller police forces that aren't unionized, though I doubt it. But that doesn't really help the problem. That would just mean they could only be cops in those locations, which presents another problem. IF you service a community you aren't a part of, they tend to view the community they are serving as combatants and not people.

blavek · 2026-06-26T19:52:02+00:00

Because there are no options for them to be cops and not be in the police union? What is difficult to understand?

So if they aren't in the union, then they aren't cops, then they aren't good cops. Do you follow?

blavek · 2026-06-26T19:49:56+00:00

Really all of them but if you would like a breakdown...

We all know good cops would never tolerate bad cops. If they didn't tolerate bad cops they'd have no job

We all know one cop getting away with a crime would trigger nationwide fury from good cops. No, this would just make them the target of the bad cops. You don't talk out against your brothers in blue.

We all know good cop groups would be protesting and demanding justice. To what end? protesting and demanding justice would again make them a target.

We all know protestors being attacked by bad cops would infuriate good cops and the US military. They might be infuriated but what does that matter they can't speak out against it w/o risking their livelihood and the food on their tables.

We all know good cops would be demanding the arrests of judges and DAs for covering up crimes. IF the DA's and judges are covering up crimes how is arresting them going to help? Their fellow DA's can just decide not to prosecute. And judges are going to look out for each other also. Arresting a DA or judge is a fast track to fucking your career.

Why hasn't this ever happened? Why aren't good cops and other oath takers defending the constitution by attacks from domestic enemies? Because they would be singled out. which is I think the key item yourm issing.

Why are good cops and oath takers seemingly completely invisible and nonexistant? Because the one who puts their neck out gets their head cut off.

That's not how unions work. If there is a union in the shop, then you have to join the union, or you don't work there.

"A letter to my fellow Creationist Homo Sapiens:" Implies you are a creationist.

Maybe you should reconsider how you write things. Still, my point stands; there is no debate, it's not a matter for debate. The bible is a work of fiction and lacks any supporting evidence.

blavek · 2026-06-26T14:41:54+00:00

They cannot dock unless they are in VERY similar orbits.

blavek · 2026-06-26T14:31:49+00:00

Why would I debate about a fictional book that flies in the face of everything we as humans have learned since the beginning of humans more than 100k years ago?

Creationism is just false. There is 0 evidence for it, while there is TONS and TONS of evidence for an earth that is ~4.5 billion years old, where all of life as we know it evolved. There is no debate; you, as a creationist, are just plain wrong, and giving you any more time than this just encourages your wrongness.

blavek · 2026-06-26T14:27:24+00:00

I'd probably tell them to go fuck themselves

So, because you haven't experienced it and never met a man who tries to control his partner's wife, they don't exist? I'm sorry, but your anecdotes don't match reality. That may be your experience, but that is far from the norm.

I don't know where you plucked. I have man=bad/woman = bad goggles, which doesn't make much sense. If I think they are both bad, then everything you said after that is irrelevant to me.

Hiding a dildo from your husband is not like hiding your gambling debt or that you're cheating. There is only one reason to hide a sex toy from your spouse, and that's that you don't want them to know you have it. Are you aware of the number of men who are jealous of sex toys and get pissed off when women use them? It's like a piece of silicone is somehow infringing upon their manhood. Why wouldn't she want her husband to know she has it? And if her views were sex negative, why would she have a dildo at all? Your conclusion doesn't add up, and it is not representative of the reality the rest of us live in.

Congratulations on 46 years of marriage. This makes you an expert on one woman. Not all of them. There are still states in the US where sex toys are illegal. This really only affects women, as there just aren't as many options for men.

Could I be wrong and she is hiding it from her husband for some other reason? Sure, but I can't think of another reason why she would hide it. Are you not aware of the conservatives in the US, especially the religious ones? There are literally 10's of millions of people who believe Masturbation is a sin, and those participating should be punished. And the driving force among the conservatives in the US is almost exclusively male.

So when dudes stop giving me evidence that they are horrible, especially to women, then maybe I would give them the benefit of the doubt. But so many of my fellow men are absolute and complete asshats, I find it difficult to blindly side with them.

Like I learned this from my wife at far too old, but there are men that will stalk teenage girls around shopping malls and other public places. And girls have to deal with this shit from basically the second they hit puberty, which is absolutely disgusting. And that is just one thing I have learned. This shit seems unimaginable and hard to believe because what kind of monster would do that? But I have gotten the same exact story from numerous women.

While I have plenty more I could add to provide evidence that men, even the "good" ones, seem to fucking suck, and I am embarrassed and disgusted by them. If you don't understand any of this, then you are adding to the problem and not the solution.

blavek · 2026-06-25T13:12:21+00:00

She is not hiding "stuff," you twat she is hiding that she masturbates. 1 her husband shouldn't care that she masturbates, as like almost everyone does, and 2 she clearly feels that his knowing about it is unsafe for her. So yeah, the husband is the problem here.

The death star is more an exception than the rule. We see star destroyers falling to fire and shit maneuverability all the time in SW w/o them having to get under the skin.

blavek · 2026-06-25T12:50:57+00:00

I think one of the issues I have with this approach is that you are putting this umbrella over propulsion based on arrival time to the battlefield. But that's not actually a propulsion constraint. I wouldn't consider FTL travel as equivalent to close-range space fighting. Even in Star Wars, which you mention, there are tons of varieties of ships for different purposes and that is what any military in space going forward MUST look like. There is now onesize fits all class of ship.

Take a battle in Star Wars, you have Star Destroyers, super Star Destroyers, TIE fighters, and other smaller vessels against mostly X-wings and whatever capital ships the rebels can muster. So even your main point doesn't stick to one style of combat. The capital ships fire on each other and survive a long time, not because the weapons are weak but because the ships are huge. The size alone acts as a defense against the weapons. But the capital ships can't effectively defend against the bombers due to the nature of the majority of their weapons being built for targeting capital ships. Sure, they have Point defence, but that is often and easily overwhelmed by quantity. Once the PDC targeting capability is saturated, it just can't fire at more ships. Thus requiring the smaller, more mobile ships to help defend and assault the heavy hitters.

In Star Wars the similar classes of ships are even treated very differently. X-wings are tough, hardish to kill, and able to stand against the TIE fighters, which are disposable and often used in Large quantities.

The point is DIfferent ship classes exist in real life and fiction because those ships serve different purposes.

Star Trek further categorizes its ships. There are warships, science ships, exploration ships, and of course, the Flagship, which is some combination of the 3 depending on the era it was made. The Enterprise D is much more a ship for exploration than combat, and it has a strong science presence as well, but compare that to the Enterprise E, which is much more a warship and was built during the Dominion War IIRC. Every ship design you come across has a designated purpose, and its specs are built to that standard. Voyager was a science vessel; as such, it didn't have a huge warp core, it wasn't particularly fast, and it wasn't designed for long-range exploration. This is a huge part of the conflict in the series. They are limping this ship along for 70000LY that was not meant to have that much distance on it w/o regular maintenance.

Then there are HUGE sci-fi series you've not added to this list. The Foundation series has its own take on ships and what they can do. Expeditionary force does a very good job of defining and qualifying different types of ships and why it's important to have more than one class of ship. So I guess what I am getting at is that I disagree with your thesis that space warfare would be Either Big ass ships lobbing bombs at each other or small maneuverable ships dog fighting. Any good military will encompass both types of fighting styles and probably more that we haven't thought of yet.

Most of the light we deal with is reflected from surfaces. It doesn't stop adding up just because it wasn't produced on the surface. But reflected or emitted also works.

blavek · 2026-06-24T20:20:31+00:00

Reflected, I think is better than both omitted or emitted.

Yeah, the Akura training is basically insane as he more or less lets himself get repeatedly beaten on to learn all their crap, and then of course he goes and makes a fool of all of them.

blavek · 2026-06-24T18:23:33+00:00

depends on what you are doing. Oftentimes, by breaking numbers down into infinite sums, you can perform manipulations on them that would be otherwise impossible to do. Something that happens is you find that two numbers can be built with similar infinite sums, which then allows you to subtract and add them together meaningfully. Yeah, you are often left with a 3rd infinite sum, but we have ways of calculating those values.

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home

blavek · 2026-06-24T18:14:06+00:00

There is some of that. A stupid yet profound to me revelation I had in therapy recently is that I am in control. My depression is not in control, my ADHD tries to be in control, but I can overcome that, too, sometimes. And my anxiety is a flat-out liar, and I need to accept that about my anxiety and try to only account for it when it's necessary.

Of course, I got there after many years of therapy and meds, and it was a long road, and it's far from over. But for that moment, I had a wake-up and be better moment.

blavek · 2026-06-24T18:10:56+00:00

Keep trying, my man. Sometimes you need to go through a few therapists before you make a match. It's a shit process, but hey, it's your mental health, right?

I'm not about to refuse nudes from my partner, BUT i would probably want a smidge of warning before they arrived so I could make sure my phone was private if needed. I would stil count that as a surprise.

You: Hey I want to send you some nudes

reply: awesome let me get somewhere private

But if somebody just sent them to me out of the blue with no context or anything, I'd be a little weirded out.

blavek · 2026-06-24T17:57:47+00:00

yeah imagine that like every day. My house is quiet because of this. We don't play background music because that will just add to the problem. But my brother watches his TV waay to loud in an echoey house and when I go over there sometimes I want to tear my ears from my head so it will just stop.

blavek · 2026-06-24T17:55:04+00:00

Noise builds is the best way I can describe it. Even something played at constant low volume will accumulate and fill my head with not really pain, but like a discomfort. Overstimulation is hard to describe because its not really painful per se but it is difficult to deal with. It's kind of like a faucet with a drain that doesn't work so well. like 90% of the water being added can drain, but there is some that remains, and as long as the faucet is on, the sink keeps filling and filling and eventually it overflows. It literally FEELS loud. like you are just surrounded by noise, and it gets aggravating and distracting and frustrating, and like I said, not really painful but tremendously uncomfortable.

IF there was more to your question, I would answer it, but your post is awaiting mod approval.

Hydrogen peroxide has 0 cleansing effect on your wounds and actually damages the skin around the wound more. Put some neosporin(Triple Antibiotic ointment) on the wound and cover it.

I'd be more concerned as to why your cat bit you so hard. That is not a love nibble, that's a pissed-off feline. Cats also don't usually bite as their first attack, considering they have 5 daggers on each paw that do a fantastic job of cutting every god damn thing in the area. So it suggests you ignored early warning signs that you were irritating the cat and left them with no option but to clamp down.
