  • Because it’s easy? Who did it because it’s easy? Fucking writing on the street is easy but there’s no point, how does that make news? When the goal is awareness, how do you get it except by pissing off sensitive shits like yourself? Being aware of the problem is the first step. Having a wrong opinion about it is on them, they should look more into it but the first step is awareness.

    But hey, you wouldn’t say that about BLM would you? That burning the cities and breaking into shops would “make people hate you and actively work against your goals.” would you? Of course not.


  • Ask Just Stop Oil whose attention they get for throwing shit on the Mona Lisa. Are you more aware? Stonehenge. Are you more aware? Private planes. Are you more aware? The audience is everyone who doesn’t give a shit about the protests but instead pearl clutches over the covers of books getting some paint on them. You. You’re the audience because now you’re talking about it and whoever you tell. They’re not targeting book readers, they’re spreading a message.

    Stop fucking killing children.


  • What’s the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?

    Dead children who will never grow up to learn to read. When what you’re doing isn’t working, you have to expand the discontent. The protestors of BLM and Antifa burned buildings down, yet who asks for the justification? Is vandalism not the answer to bring awareness to the slaughter of marginalized and silenced groups, or is it only acceptable when it’s closer to home?

    I don’t give a shit if a hundred libraries burn to save the lives of even ten children. The dead cannot learn from their pages.



  • Hard to determine with what we know. We haven’t met any other intelligent species which suggests we’ve passed the filter. Yet, making that conclusion before knowing there are no others to meet is too presumptuous. But, if I were to guess, I’d think the filter is adaptability.

    We’re superior to animals for being able to use tools, live in radically different climates, and shape every spot on earth into a livable climate. Even on Mars, the moon, and space. How else would a species venture through space if they can’t adapt?

    That might be too general a concept for the question though.









  • “a meaningless statistic” goalposts? Gone.

    The time to create nuclear plants is far lower than what you quoted, should have been started a decade ago, and we’re still sitting here fucking debating whether we should start.

    In the most respectful way I can manage, stop bitching about time to build and start now. Encourage the people in charge to do it, now. Stop kicking the can down the road so we can go “damn I guess renewables weren’t enough, we should have made those plants a long time ago.”

    I’m hostile because I’m sick of the same attitude every year. “top expensive, too long, too unsafe” when it makes more power per dollar spent than any other method, is only a few years away even with inspections, and causes less deaths per GW/H including renewables and including the deaths/affected peoples from nuclear disasters.

    There is no more room for debate. Nuclear is and has been the option for decades and anyone saying it isn’t is just helping coal and oil. Full stop.






  • Why create exceptional amounts of trash when you don’t need to? It’s not a binary choice but it should be. It makes absolutely zero sense to waste so many resources when it can be focused into a solution that doesn’t do that.

    Yeah we can keep burning gas in cars or we could transition to EVs. Transitioning to solar and wind respectively is creating more electronic waste. That’s the reason not to use it in the meantime. It’s a different kind of pollutant but still a potent one. We’re literally shipping garbage to third world countries.

    Focus on the best solution, now, not a better solution and then figure it out later. Nuclear. Now.
