They can buy themselves a few years at best without a functioning supply chain. We all depend on society, no matter how much they like to deny it

They think they do. No amount of money will protect a person from the collapse of a civilization. Never has, never will. Their plans are very much predicated on the assumption that markets will somehow magically continue to function after the general populace has lost all faith in them
Vivekananda is one of the most brilliant minds in modern India, contemporary with Gandhi, and only less well known because he died so young.
And “what that is” is that you’ve blindly accepted outsiders’ racist assessments of your people. You really need to question that shit:
“WE HAVE THE WORST GENETICS”
Holy SHIT, my dude. You need to take a SERIOUS step back and question the eugenicist colonial bullshit you’ve internalized. I would advise taking a look at Swami Vivekananda’s assessments of India and Indian people.
“nuke the unevolved savage freaks” is the most blatant example of standard issue online “it’s ok to say racist things about Indians” I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone in 2023 could not have a single brain cell to make them rethink a statement like that before clicking the comment button.
Are you fucking kidding me with this racist shit?
Correct. Which is why cheap and agile renewables will remain a good option for less wealthy countries.
We *rich countries would be really stupid to worry about money when trying to save the planet.
There’s a lot of world outside the US, Europe, and China.
But it’s also about cost. Nuclear is far more expensive upfront, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to decommission. Cheap, agile renewables will be an easier option for the vast majority of the planet
I only have WhatsApp because I have so many non-American friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dragged my mom and sister over to using it, and everyone has been warned that the second I see Meta trying to monetize it, I’m going to whine until they all move to Signal (which has pretty much identical functionality.)
(I mean, we’re talking about radioactive water from one nuclear power plant. I’m pretty sure the adage applies in this case.)
The solution to pollution is dilution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the carbon is in my body, it’s not in the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. Checkmate, atheists
Oh, almost nothing gets pulverized when galaxies collide! Our Milky Way galaxy is currently colliding with a couple of small satellite galaxies. There’s so much empty space between stars that almost none of the stars themselves impact.
It’s more a matter of the gravitational orbits of the stars inside the galaxies changing dramatically. But those changes caused by a galaxy merger take millions of years. Plenty of time for life to adapt.
The biggest danger to life would be the possibility of getting blasted by radiation, if you ended up too close to a supernova or something like that.
Hunga Tunga Hunga Ha’apai didn’t help either. Instead of just the usual global cooling sulfur dioxide, this particular volcano was under water enough that it launched massive amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere, which has greenhouse effects. Add that all together on top of the chronic climate change and you get this summer.

Hahaha, yeah. The black kids at the summer camp I volunteer for always think it’s funny when I’m chasing them with sunscreen in my hand too. Luke seriously though, y’all, have you ever burnt the tops of your ears?? Trust me, don’t find out.
It works the same way it works for anyone else who is in direct sunlight for too long. Black people can get melanoma too.
“All skin tones are susceptible to sun damage. Sunburn will cause darker skin tones to go darker, and the skin will feel hot and painful to touch. While darker skin tones are less likely to burn, almost anyone can get sunburnt or develop skin cancer.”
Yes, but this looks like a wolf spider. Wolf spiders are yard spiders that run very very fast and therefore are required to stay in the yard. It is the law. There’s nothing I can do about it.
(Or it’s my childhood trauma. It’s definitely one of those things…)
I don’t think that’s the feminism that the movie was criticizing, but rather the commodified “girl boss feminism” that holds up conventionally beautiful commercial attainment as the ultimate aspirational icon.
As opposed to the feminism of intersectionality and respect for the rights and choices of normal, everyday women.
There only being that one playbook is the exact reason why I have a patch on my backpack that reads: “Evil is boring”
