Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.

It doesn’t need to be, the core concept is simple. We are already overpopulated because we are failing to sustainably provide for 8 billion people. Doubling the number of people to provide for is not going to help.

The only people here conflating economic value with human worth are the people who are outraged. An easily automated employee isn’t of high value to a company, like no shit.

total emissions = emissions per capita * capita

Unless we figure out carbon neutrality without cratering HDI in the next year or two maybe lets work on reducing birth rates. ‘we could have 20 billion people if we all live like subsistence farmers’ is fucking stupid.

Downvoting not because of the sentiment but because I am so fucking tired of this gif.

I just wish the musk circlejerk stayed in /c/enough_musk_spam. I’m not obsessed with him so I don’t care about his texas drainage permits any more than anyone else’s county drainage permits.

The only reason to care about this ‘story’ is if you enjoy getting mad at musk. It is so absurdly inconsequential compared to all the stuff happening in the world that is actually newsworthy. I don’t care if people want to obsess over him but it should be in a community for it. This isn’t tech news.

exactly the type of missing the point that I was talking about *

And of course nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

*Ironic because I missed/ignored theirs.

‘if only those stupid voters supported our genocide gas would still be under $3’

I’m glad the sociopaths have to suffer too.

Good, hope it’s lonely. Die alone, bigot.

A lot of people get off on hating musk, they only really want an excuse at this point. Like the very upvoted comment ‘I don’t care if it’s outputting pure spring water’.

Nobody would care about this at all if it was any other company. ‘Company erodes county owned ditch without proper permit with water that would meet drinking water standards if you dilute it by half’. But people enjoy getting mad at musk so it gets clicks and upvotes. And of course this and every other comment that isn’t saying musk should be hanged for this will be downvoted because nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

There is not so much of a shortage of real problems in the world that some permitting issue over a ditch in texas deserves global attention.

*oh what a surprise. the musk anti-fandom took offense.

that’s what it says

‘Your personal experience is invalid because it goes against the circlejerk’

Thacker Pass is inside the McDermitt Caldera, it’s the same deposit.

Really bizarre to write or post an article saying this deposit was ‘discovered’. This is decade old news. I saw the headline and thought ‘oh nice that’s like a whole other Thacker Pass’ but it literally is just Thacker Pass.

Somebody needs to figure out a way to prevent people from upvoting headlines of articles they haven’t read because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no reason to post or upvote this.

If only there was information in the post about where it is then you wouldn’t have to guess. Or you can just make stuff up to get mad at.

Ok technically it’s energy not power, big deal. Sometimes electricity is colloquially called power.

‘Lawmakers oppose legislation and try to attend meeting’ doesn’t normally imply ‘actively disrupting the legislature in protest’. It’s lying by omission. Yeah technically they were ‘opposing the legislation’ but that’s not why they were arrested.

Turns out they do actually arrest you when you try to get arrested to bring attention to something.

I’m kind of baffled that you’re doubling down on refusing to acknowledge the amount of spin.

Incredibly charitable of you to pretend that the tweet or whatever accurately reflects that text. ‘two black lawmakers arrested for opposing legislation’ is a little bit different than ‘a black lawmaker and his brother arrested for interrupting the session and refusing to leave when ordered’. I think it’s based of them to do that but come on.

*fuck facts I guess. They probably actually took them outside and lynched them. Maybe they even killed all the black residents of the district. It’s not sensationalist enough that a lawmaker and his brother got arrested for protesting something worth getting arrested in protest of. So just lie a bit, make it 2 legislators. Deliberately paint an incomplete picture so instead of making a choice now they were just passive victims who were ‘just attending a meeting’. Gotta get those reposts and upvotes in the leftist echo chambers.

Rare to see someone so incapable of critical thought lmao

My logic sounds absurd when you apply it to a different example? why would you use a different example, that makes it sound dumb

it’s fine to eat because it’s food and it’s food because it’s fine to eat. simple as

The downvotes on this are both funny and telling. I like it so its good. Asking if its bad is bad.

I’m actually starting to see the point in a weird way. If they think about as critically as a dog or a cat maybe it doesn’t make sense to hold their decisions to a higher moral standard. We don’t call it immoral when non-human animals rape other non-human animals because they aren’t capable of the level of thought required to conceptualize moral decisions. But, uh, neither are significant amounts of humans apparently.
