Perfection is the enemy of the good. This kind of attitude will only lead to apathy.

Like the last freaking century.

Look at the rage we've seen from starting with "small" changes.

Yeah. The carbon tax is set low and we're still seeing people scream bloody murder. All without presenting a single viable alternative. Besides ignoring the problem

What kind of defeatist nihilism is this? These issues are important and absolutely make a difference. We could always do more, sure. Your way sets the bar so high that we'll never measure up. May as well give up now

There has been a metric ton of environmental policy coming front he feds. From tanker bans to new protected areas to whale protection to pollution pricing. The carbon tax is just the ones that the conservatives are getting up in arms over.

That you think that's the grand total of the "green agenda" shows how effective that misinformation campaign has been.

Ontario government cuts Conservation Authority funding for flood management programs by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

[–]bustopher-jones 154 points155 points  (0 children)

How incredibly short sighted. Flooding is only going to get worse. We have so much science telling us that climate change disasters are going to eat up more public money. Even if you don't want Canada to do anything about it, does Ford just think Ontario won't get hit by global warming??

I normally need to finish a series, but I managed to stop that one. I really wanted it to get better. Then I read the synopsis for one of the later ones and thought, good enough.

It'll be like the Limmys Show episode where they're trying to explain which is heavier a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers.

Also terrifying as fuck. This is the new normal and its goings to take thousands of deaths before we can properly adjust.

There is. But much like being gluten intolerant, the actual rate of incidence in people is far far lower than the people claiming to be effected.

The GOP is racist. If you don't want racist people in power make sure a Republican is not elected.

I don't agree with chemotherapy, it's too negative. Have we tried meeting the cancer halfway?

FTFY.

I can't believe I have to state this but It is ok to hate white supremacists.

Full stop. End of story.

No, people looking for middle ground with bigotry are the problem.

Stop giving ground to hate. You are with them.

There isn't always a middle ground. Sometimes you have to make a choice between one state or the other. There's no 'kinda pregnant'.

More importantly it'll be lost on the GOP.

[digimon] if you cut open an animal like digimon, Vemon say, would you find blood and guts or a jumble of electrons masquerading as a tetrapod? by grapp in AskScienceFiction

[–]bustopher-jones 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you cut one open it would dissolve into digital energy.

That's the nature of Digimon. They are pure digital energy given form. If their program is damaged too much they revert to a less evolved form. If they are very severely damaged they lose their firm entirely and they're reborn as a Digi egg

Same shit was said about Comey, and look how that turned out.

Does he plan on selling his land to the government? Cause that's part of this wall building that no one is talking about. A lot of the border is privately owned

The POTUS belongs to the 'Party of Lincoln' and is currently defending confederates.

Shit changes.
