Plastic waste is a dilemma for the whole world. Unless its intended to become the fuel source for the next evolution of Earth’s dominant global species of course.

One approach is to use the NAS for all your daily self hosting needs and only use cloud services to store backup images of the NAS.

There’s a huge fucking understatement LOL. I like you :)

And you won’t even need a degree to assemble american made phones

Desperation is unlikely to produce meaningful improvements

Dont get me wrong, Musk is a piece of shit, but as far as I’m aware, he has not personally killed any children nor threatened to do so. He may have indirectly killed children, by gutting USAID as one example, but that puts him into a category full of many other people, including you who sought to indirectly harm a child like a coward behind a screen by encouraging a stranger to do it.

I personally don’t think it is acceptable for someone to encourage others to kill a child online. It’s cowardly and rank. Go speak your wisdom to your own child or niece or nephew and think about whether you would sacrifice them so easily. You disgust me. The world you get as a result of actions like this is not worth having. You deserve everything you as an individual are getting, I have no doubt.

The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump’s foe now

Well said!

I thought Zelensky showed remarkable constraint given the circumstances and the deal was no deal for Ukraine.

It’s difficult to let the judicial system move through its processes so slowly, but I agree with this comment. If the people decide to invalidate the courts by taking matters into their own hands, then they are no better than those who seek to defy the courts. If you believe in democracy then you must also have some faith in the courts, no? That’s not to say the courts won’t fail, but circumventing them prematurely would be, as I see it, a definitive loss for the people.

I actually disagree with this. I believe its their fear that is driving them. Fear of losing money, wealth, and power. Fear of death and being ‘controlled’ by the status quo.

Nothing will meaningful improve until the rich put down their fears and begin thinking rationally and with compassion for humanity.

And definitely don’t accidentally spill water on it, that would be a big oopsie

Would disabled people also be considered to be part of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? Don’t we offer support for autistic and neuro-divergant individuals in the work place?

The sad thing is, as health in America falls further by the way side, because it hasn’t been good for a long time (see the obesity chart below), than more people will become excluded under this anti-DEI policy. If you have any needs or support requirements then they will be considered a weakness against your ‘merit’.

Btw, we only know this because the CDC published it. Hope that doesn’t stop happening 😬

The actions taken by this government seem to come from philosophies of individualism such as comparing and judging the ‘merit’ of two or more people, or the desire to shut down supportive welfare services creating an ‘each man for himself’ type environment. This reveals the mind of the people behind the policy who clearly prioritise their own individual needs and desires over others, and to justify it, they want everyone else to do the same.

But being that small minded is not possible for some. Some people cant help but worry about the welfare of the whole planet, everyone on it and future generations.

A good leader never stops wondering if all the needs of their people are being met. A wide sense and awareness of humanity is needed that extends beyond the bounds of the individual’s genetic or cultural sphere.

Even Nationalism is no longer viable because we have global issues like climate change. An ‘America first’ attitude is an Earth last attitude. I know geography is hard, bear with me, but Earth is an important ally for national security! 😉

The industry only relies on cheap labour because farmers aren’t getting their fair share of the upstream profits.
