Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.

There is a severe misunderstanding of what this is going on in this thread. 4 years ago when regulations were introduced on shipping pollution it vastly reduced the amount of cloud trail produced off the pollution. Covid also played a role here as there were far less active ships.

That pollution mixing with the clouds is theorized to have actually been helping stave off ocean warming because of the greater cloud coverages around shipping lanes reflects a lot more sunlight.

Now there have been tests in the past 4 years to recreate the cloud coverages with sea salt in order to bring the rate of temperature increases back down to the previous levels.

Does this solve climate change no of course not. But it does fix an accidental fuckup we made that came from an ultimately good decision in standardizing emissions in 2020. And we need to do anything possible to bring the RATE OF CHANGE down.

I can sit here and spin the exact same question about reducing global exploitation.

Reducing global exploitation would implies self sustainability and with the west, particularly the US, they never reach self sustainability with their current economic model of giving 95% of their production/wealth to the top 1% while a very large portion of its population is struggling economically/mentally/physically.

It’s a stepping stone in the problem of global exploitation, but it can’t happen overnight nor independently.

It is unreasonable to assume a model outside of this will be attainabille within the next two centuries.

Instead let’s focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we’re still exploiting our poorest citizens.

Not OP but mostly for when content on one gets DMCA’d.

I only have Eweka and haven’t had any trouble finding any TV series or movies. No experience with audio books though, but I’d expect similar results since audiobooks are probably less strict with dmca than movies. I also don’t think Eweka respects dmca takedowns.

TikTok has video controls you can move to any part of the video. It also has 2x play speed.

This is actually the problem with mid sized communities. If there’s two political communities and their content is 70% overlapping then you’re obviously going to unsubscribe from one as your feed becomes cluttered. But then you’re missing that 30% of content from the other community.

Ghost cities are largely American propaganda and most have filled out to well urbanized areas.

Guillotine.

Right now the US military and NASA is in agreement that UAPs exist, there’s thousands of citizens interested in UAPs/NHI, yet not a single scientist in the past 75 years wanted to find the answer to what these UAPs are?

Science in itself is debunking trivial bullshit until you find a rock solid solution and right now we don’t have a solution.

Ofc they do but they’re compartmentalized as hell.

Why do you think Bill Nelson himself is a career politician, not a scientist? These are political figures in these positions, not scientists.

Unfortunately NASA is not being transparent here. They created a UAP task force and would not reveal who was heading it and when it is released it turns out to be someone who’s spent his career with the DOD/Defense contractors. Not a scientist. Why are we not letting scientists handle this matter?

NASA also says they want to work to destigmatize UAPs and NHI, yet Bill Nelson slanders Grusch (highly decorated US military serviceman) and speaks down on anyone promoting more transparency here. The minimization of Grusch’s testimony all while the DOD is withholding Grusch’s security clearance and essentially stonewalling congress. Lots of reasons enough for us to be suspicious of foul play behind government figures here.

Ontop of this, that’s totally aside from safety, things just get done much much quicker due to less bureaucracy. Take any sort of rail system for instance, they’ve built ENTIRE rail systems (light and heavy) in the time it’s going to take Seattle to build 2 miles of lightrail.

It’s both cheaper and faster, while I don’t know the safety statistics I certainly don’t see train derailments happening left and right.

It turns out when you don’t cater to businesses and can relocate residents at their whim it has some advantages for better or worse depending on your perspective.

One single god God, perhaps what makes a god a god? I do believe we form a network or web of connected consciousness. Who’s contained within this web and how interactions work on it is where it gets interesting.

I think the problem with IPFS is it’s terribly inefficient with large and or dynamic data storages, the exact problem bittorent tackles(large not dynamic).

IPFS does seem to provide great p2p functionality for small static files though, albeit pretty slow.

Might be a hot take, but I for one think we should be far more extremist in our climate fight against corporations.

Just yesterday I was thinking about how I can’t open my window for the weekend because of the smoke in the air. This thought process is fucking insane when you step back and think about it, but yet it’s becoming our daily lives. No window day today -> no outside day -> oh we only go out at night now etc. Progression is slow so we get used to the hindrances we have to live with.

These loans are out right predatory. I was offered a 12% interest rate 7 years ago and have friends who’ve been offered 16%!!!

Yes you can say just don’t sign it, but we’re 17 years old we can’t comprehend how much affect a 16% interest rate will have on you in 8 years and you’ve been told all your life college is the goto life path and you have to do this to get a “good job” and live a good life.

I agree we should payback the money we loaned, but taking advantage of genz via predatory loans for wanting a higher education is downright criminal in itself.

Really your only answers are going to be based in economics.

A society can absolutely thrive with a 1:1 ratio, but not built around a capitalistic mindset. Quite frankly China’s probably the best person to have this problem and they ignore the whims of capitalism for their countries residents quite often.

Possible non-economic considerations could be not having enough people to build a military and lack of cultural exportation. Both of which China doesn’t really have any problems with.

Comments like this contribute nothing. Sure it’s true but it has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation at hand and is unnecessary.

Instead let’s have a discussion, do you think Hollywood has had a stream of Garbage content lately?
