Absolutely, yes. I've found that sometimes the only way I get a response out is to do a paragraph stream of thought which I then regret because. But sometimes it's fine. It's hard to gauge honesty.

I agree that ecologically it can be a better move but I also don't blame anyone that chooses to have a child because who knows when politicians may revoke your ability to decide in the future.

The real problem is that our current way of life is a sinking ship and we're close to the tipping point when the majority of people will need to find methods of living alternatively. Teaching younger people how to survive in this environment is going to be crucial. A lot will suffer through our collective ignorance until we find a new equilibrium with nature. We can adapt quickly and support climate positive actions or we can prolong it; I think we all know the current direction we're going. Either way, until either the global ecological demand subsides, we're just preparing future generations for an uphill battle.

I think it's less on ceding metaphorical ground and more on getting people caught up that haven't decoupled the "Jewish people are automatically Zionist" thought yet. The opposition is taking advantage of that preconceived notion that a lot of people have.

Do you mean the actual philosophy of truth or do you just mean that we currently have a cult of personality spewing lies and people en masse accept it as truth?

Because I've heard arguments for both.

I may be naive but why wouldn't a UN governed state not be in the best interest for all parties? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_separatum_(Jerusalem)

We're clearly not from the same countries, but I think this discussion stems from the recent political actions in the USA. In that instance, yes birthright citizenship is the most common method of citizenship and would have severe consequences by changing the law arbitrarily.

The world's a fucked up place, and birthright citizenship probably isn't the best way to go about things (neither are borders in general but that's a tangent), but I don't think removing rights before a better implementation is in place is the best way to go about things. More people get hurt this way, obviously, and we lose sight of what the actual point of this was. Not to mention it's easy for fascism to take root when you can more easily say who gets to be a citizen.

And what are the benefits of authoritarian rule for its citizens? Given enough time, those rulers will cause harm in any circumstance.

It does a few techniques depending on the type of network and security obstacles. They posted an article on it that's interesting.

I'd also check out pangolin or headscale like others recommeded though since you're already looking to self-host.

Its because they genuinely do not care about anyone but themselves.

If someone was layed off, that's too bad, find another job slacker. Someone ran over by a car, they shouldn't have been in the way. Someone shot, that's a bad neighborhood. Someone shot by police? They should've followed orders better.

They do not comprehend that there is more to things than just cause and effect because of the doublethink that has eroded away their critical thinking skills.

Not to dissuade anyone from thinking that California is a much better state than Alabama; but those rankings are terrible. Florida ranked #2 best state in education, #1 in economy, and #13th in crime? Yeah, that's not biased at all USNews.

Unfortunately, "spills" are still a big concern, especially if we used this as an energy medium in the grand scheme. This article states that hydrogen gas has around 11x the greenhouse potential compared to carbon dioxide. Also, as far as safety goes, you can't visually see a hydrogen fire without thermoptic equipment, so that could make cleanup more difficult.

I used to be really on board with hydrogen and fuel cells but there seems to be more issues that haven't been solved that make this impractical. As far as getting solar generated electricity out of the Sahara, your best bet is to convert to high voltage AC or to move production to the source.

 

As soon as I saw this, I thought of how homemade radiative cooling tech like this could be used in a solarpunk society.

What do you think?
