'It's inhumane.' Despite how hot it is, Tennessee renters don't have a right to air conditioning
  • People with breathing problems have problems breathing, how could I disagree?

    Breathing air that is so wet it even condenses inside my nose (dew point above 37 °C) feels good. I have not heard people complain about too humid air (for breathing, not buildings etc.) so far. Only the other way around: Breathing air that has a dew point below something like -10 °C can be a really unpleasant if the air itself is warm.

  • Fuck oil.
  • I do not think that it has sometime to do with capitalism. Everyone is using fossiles, because they are cheap and abundant. Every form of government etc. used them if they had access to them.

    The same way everyone drives cars, even tho accidents are the 3rd highest cause of death. They do that because it is convenient etc.

  • The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax
  • ... By not having an income?

    pay income taxes that are only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of millions, if not billions, their fortunes grow each year.

    What is this garbage? If I own a house/gold/collectable/toilet paper during covid/... and the value goes up, am I supposed to pay taxes? Do I get money back if the value goes down again? That is no income. It really is that simple. Yes, we still need to find a way do deal with this.

  • Fuck oil.
  • And did they get replaced? No. Because bad nuclear, they still think like that. It is the only tech we have with a chance to actually reduce CO2 emissions as much as WE need to in the near future.

    You say they were replaced by renewables... Sure. But then they did not replace fossiles, which is exactly the issue. Also, they provide base load, only hydro and geothermal can do that, and they did not suddenly get another few GW installed. We are still using as much fossiles as we did 20+ years ago, it is fucking crazy. Have a look at the chart (the absolute values are not better looking)

  • Terry Pratchett: Why does Dodger scratch "Kaspar" in the carriage?

    In "Dodger" by Terry Pratchett: Why does Dodger scratch "Kaspar" in the carriage of the embassy before setting everything on fire? There is no character I know with that name and if he just randomly picks a German(?) name, why should it remind anyone of him then?
