Herin lies an open diatribe directed towards the ROTUND individual henceforth known as the great knight "Boogie!" Lo, for long do I tire of giving witness to this GARGANTUAN KNAVE who dares to showeth thine visage among the many lands I seek to conquer as a bountiful baron such as I! Little I care for the looming masses on the horizon in retaliation for my words, composed of the thralls who hold nothing but pity for this individual!

Hear my words, as I swear that thou art a king-sized, famine-inducing, gods-shaming, bloated-as-a-plagued-corpse, glory-of-the-sun-blocking, all-devouring, trebuchet projectile replacing, worlds-eating, bounty-claiming, aqueduct-clogging, grain-milling, grape-crushing, butter-churning, heathen-squashing, water-logged, pork-chop-looking, giants-sized, WARMONGERING WRETCH!

Cast upon me your unkind words and hexes, just as I foresaweth! It shall all hold no credence with me! Not as they spout from the mouths of other like-minded individuals who lay waste to my many fertile soils and valuable mines as a misguided means to please the gods! I pity you! If my words sting, then begone with ye!

I think new battery technologies could make the biggest difference. If it takes less energy to power an electric vehicle then it might be feasible to charge them with solar power from home, which would massively incentivise people to adopt solar power.


Good luck getting China and India to adapt to that.

Let's say we create a battery + solar power device that can power a typical home in most or all climates. It can also power electric automobiles. Some Chinese company steals the technology and starts selling it in China. If it costs normal people there less than fossil fuels or fossil-fuel powered electricity they'll probably buy it.

We're pretty far from that point, though.

Judas Priest is probably the most influential overall. Sabbath started metal but Priest defined it and gave it the alchemical spirit that's led to so many subgenres since.

Best is subjective but for my personal tastes I'd go with Satan (aka Blind Fury, aka Pariah). Every single release up to present day has been top-tier. Mercyful Fate and King Diamond are pretty close though.

Growing up is like being in a car that takes a while to hit top speed. You floor it but it feels like everything is going in slow motion. Finally it starts to pick up speed and before you know it you're practically flying down the road. You couldn't be happier. The wind is in your hair and the sun kisses your skin. But then you see that you're heading toward a cliff so you hit the brakes, but the brakes do nothing. You're still picking up speed and the cliff is getting closer and closer.

Legendary pokemon are total bullshit. By the time you get them you're pretty much done with the game anyway.

They basically only exist to fill a pokedex slot.

Because I'm not seeing any option to turn off "Google's AI listens to you"

It's going to be different on every device but there are a lot of hidden settings under sections you might not expect to find them like About, Language, Keyboard settings, etc. I always make a point to click through every single page of the device settings and also all preinstalled apps when I get a new phone.

Because if any answer to that question results in me having to pay more for anything, inconveniences me or causes me to have alter my day to day habits. Then I'm not doing it.

That's just the plain and honest truth. For all of us.

This is the harsh reality. People like to point fingers at faceless corporations but it's normal people who give them the monetary incentive to do what they do, and that demand isn't going to change. We're all guilty.


That's not true at all. This nihilism is gonna get us all baked. We could push for action on renewable energy, fund huge research expenditures on energy and artificial meat, etc, but the same people pushing this nihilism are the ones who actively stop that from happening.

We blame and discredit Communism for famines and lack of innovation right? So what are we gonna say about capitalism when it destroys the freaking planet?

Unless this results in technologies that are actually affordable no one's going to change anything. And for the things that are already affordable like solar power, most people still don't seem to want to change. Even the celebrities that champion all of this stuff still fly around in their private jets, buy fleets of vehicles just for the hell of it and generally have way higher footprints than those who just drive to work and run errands.

Developing new technologies isn't enough. One way or another you're going to have to convince people to change their way of life in order to adopt those technologies.

It has something to do with using the plutonium in the Galielo telescope as a nuke to bomb Jupiter. It was mentioned in behold a pale horse and after digging around I found that nasa did do something like it in 2003 and that they tried/ are trying again with Saturn sometime later. Does anyone have any info on this I cant find much.

I kind of remember Bill Cooper talking about this but I don't think I've heard it anywhere else. He said something like they wanted to see if they could ignite Jupiter to create a second sun. The guy was right about a lot of things but this one was pretty far out there.
