I turn coal to coke. Lol

I have to admit I'm curious what changed your mind
I think I am just a bit annoyed with all the controversy with his presidency. A lot of it is manufactured garbage, but some of it is just nonsense he doesn't need to get into. I am not sure if it is a byproduct of the new social media presidencies or not, but it is annoying. Also, he isn't trying to bridge to the other side and promote a cohesive America which I think a president of any side should do. You should be representing all Americans, not just "your side".

It sucks because policy-wise he is pretty much a dream candidate for me. But, he continues to stoop to a level he can just ignore and makes a rise out of it.

The problem is the left candidates have to pander to crazy as fuck leftist ideas due to it being their base, and half are out to literally destroy my job lol.

I mean one is a criticism and the other is "you should do x"

The closer equivalent would be like telling everyone to quit Hearthstone but he keeps playing (which afaik is actually true so there you go)


I feel like you're splitting hairs here-- the line about "why don't you house a migrant" has been used primarily as a response to criticizing their treatment/detention.

Also saying someone should do something differently is still criticism.

In all seriousness, it's a hard problem to solve. There's always the classical music approach, of playing said music on blast outside the stores.

Ultimately the route of talking to the local government is probably a better longterm solution if you care about improving your city and not just making someone else have this issue instead.

Lmao Bernie's Green New Deal plan aims to end nuclear power usage and rejects carbon capture as a "false solution"

What a fucking joke:
Phase out the use of non-sustainable sources. This plan will stop the building of new nuclear power plants and find a real solution to our existing nuclear waste problem. It will also enact a moratorium on nuclear power plant license renewals in the United States to protect surrounding communities. We know that the toxic waste byproducts of nuclear plants are not worth the risks of the technologys benefit, especially in light of lessons learned from the Fukushima meltdown and the Chernobyl disaster. To get to our goal of 100 percent sustainable energy, we will not rely on any false solutions like nuclear, geoengineering, carbon capture and sequestration, or trash incinerators.




My understanding with CCS has been this:

The most effective way to capture carbon emissions is by capturing them at the source. This means at whatever coal plant or other carbon emitting plant you want. But the cost to retrofit an existing plant is prohibitively expensive. It's more cost-effective to actually build a new plant with carbon capture in mind than to retrofit an existing one, which doesn't result in less emissions-- it results in less of an increase in emissions.

Bernie's been pretty consistently against nuclear though, and that's one area I disagree with him on.

No I didn't, I don't care enough to because it would only ever end up being something I drink at home. I don't really care to end up caffeine dependent to function like pretty much every other person I know.

What exactly is cold brew? An iced capp?


Instead of brewing with hot water, you let the ground coffee beans sit in cold/room temp water over a longer period of time (like overnight).

It tastes different because you're not exposing the coffee beans to heat, and it also tends to be stronger because you're extracting everything (including caffeine) over a longer period of time (though a lot of people make a concentrate and dilute it)

Depends on how you define conspiracy theory.

Does leaded gas count? It was suspected that leaded gas was dangerous in the same year it made its debut, but there was a concerted effort by gas companies and some people within the government to mislead people and convince them everything was okay. Leaded gas was going to be banned, but it was walked back to "needs investigation". And then people within the lead industry were conducting the very studies that deemed leaded gas safe.
