So look at the drug war, war on terrorism, money laundering sanctions, international tax evasion measures. The US and EU basically force the world to comply.

Imagine the EU and US are fully on board and say Australia decides no. What would happen to the Australian economy if they suddenly were barred from trading the dollar and euro. Australia is a big country and would be on the US/EU side. Imagine if Mexico or Croatia tried that. No chance.

Extreme? We did that to Russia during the Ukraine invasion.

This isn’t difficult. They just don’t care enough.

Simple physics demands that this use less energy.

E = mv^2/2.

Say cars are 10x the weight and drive 2x the speed of an electric bike. That’s 40x energy.

Additionally, bikes are more likely to have less erratic go/stop behavior, so even more efficient. For example, I’m much more careful to coast on a bike than a car because it’s my energy.

Here. I have lots of energy since the patriarchy can’t fuck me without being gay. Sadly it’s empty

Yeah, I’ll do it in like a week

Why? This is a perfect opportunity to burn more of the forest without worrying about rain!

We will soon succeed in the extermination of one of the most destructive and violent species to exist on earth!

Advocates, largely driven by tribal activists along the Klamath River, have been pushing for these dams to be decommissioned for more than 20 years

I hope they are actively involved. Growing up, I was repeatedly taught how American indigenous people were much better with nature than we were. Then I was taught how we actively ignore their advice. Maybe it’s time to listen.

But the suburbian dream

“Under the terms of the bill, encrypted messaging apps would be obligated to check users’ messages for child sexual abuse material.”

Good job UK. You broke WhatsApp. Now try Signal or GPG. Oh no. Look. You can’t. Honestly, pure dumbfuckery.

I oppose child sex abuse, but banging your head against a wall will not solve it.

Sadly, big companies truly do not care. I was part of a net-zero project at my company (major polluter/CO2 emitter) and it is getting cut right now. I joined in hopes of helping fix it, but I simply can’t fight endless bureaucracy and rich people.

I can only speak for my project, but it’s not even just the CEO/board in my case. Mid-levels burned so much money that the project became completely infeasible (ie. negative return and scaling would make it worse).

How do you pay for groceries with Monero?

It’s almost like people could just drink from cups…

Please don’t hurt me. I know it’s radical.

I like the idea. I’m not sure of the risk, because if you lose, then I think you have to pay the other parties legal fees.

If you started a Kickstarter and got good lawyers on board, I’d be willing to contribute. I would need to see the lawyers are well qualified though and preferably only paid if they win.

Anti trust is probably the wrong word. This indicates actions to breakup monopolies.

You’d want an attorney practicing in consumer privacy or data privacy. I believe they already exist.

My experience is that the government typically handles these cases, but I’m very likely wrong.

It doesn’t apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 ©. For shits and giggles would fall under that.

Wow. France is already on fire. Do politicians really want more?
