Is that why the animetitties sub now has actual anime titties again instead of being a more serious version of world news like it was for a while?

2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.

the internet was awesome for like … twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden…

And in order for hydro’s effects to be most easy to curtail, you need very specific terrain topology - such as where I live, in the Springfield area of Massachusetts, there’s a hydroelectric dam on the Connecticut River in South Hadley/Holyoke (the two sides of the river at that section):

The dam was built where there were natural falls. So the dam leveraged the fact that the change in water elevation was natural and already extant prior to the dam’s existence. They’ve had a fish elevator system for longer than I’ve been alive, too. Rather than changing how the hydrological system worked in the area, the dam stabilized it upstream such that the water level up the Connecticut River from there is more consistent than it used to be before - whenever there’s more water than usual, the dam can increase spill rate.

The city of chicopee, across the river from holyoke and just north of springfield, also has a hydroelectric dam, also built where there were natural falls. This region is pretty good for stuff like that, and our electrical supply is much hardier as a result!

Honestly though! Look at the region around Pripyat; that place is thriving.

Alternatively we could stash it in death valley where literally nothing lives, not even animals.

Stash, not drop: As nuclear technology progresses, we’ll get more efficient at using it as fuel and eventually the waste of today can become supplemental fuel of tomorrow, used much more thoroughly, and only be radioactive for a few hundred years instead of thousands.

Yes, AND, Nuclear is also cheaper in cost of human lives per gigawatt hour!

EVEN SOLAR AND WIND KILL MORE PEOPLE PER GIGAWATT HOUR THAN NUCLEAR.

(Hydro admittedly kills less people per GWh than nuclear, though - but not every place has that option.)

What might have had some efficacy as an auxiliary party is if the organization promoted specific extant primary candidates, perhaps. To assist more progressive candidates in becoming the nominees for various electoral races. AND in local elections, not JUST the big one every four years like you said!

We’ve seen this work (to our detriment) with the ‘tea party’ -_- all i’m saying is, it pisses me off that we leave that kind of weaponry on the table when these fucking chud scum manage to pull it off.

If the green party even actually cared about the shit they purport to care about, they’d have been pro nuclear. That’s all I needed to hear in order to know they were worth absolutely none of my attention.

There are many many many insane people who are running no virtual machines at all.

For fucks sake this should not be tight or close. It should be a gods damned CURB STOMP that destroys the Republican party for the rest of history DAMMIT.

Bravery means doing the right thing even when it’s dangerous.

Laura Loomer’s earrings are actually the fasteners keeping the human face she stole attached to her head.

The polls are, of course, measuring the opinions of ONLY the people who still have landline telephones.

Word. Salad.

not gonna lie, sting fucking SLAYED that role.

And Trump wore a vibrating dildo up his ass that buzzed every time he lied, so at least that explains his behavior.

this dipshit was endorsed by a dude who boasted about eating dog meat

… on the one hand i was making a memetic reference to a batman comic that made the rounds on the internet a little while back,

on the other hand, in order to troll properly it has to be something that actually gets under the skin of the intended audience and gets them REAL good and outraged, and abusing their religiosity is a deliciously tantalizing vector for ruining the day of a theocratic fuckwit. Just the filthiest bastardized blasphemy possible. They might even escalate to physical violence, as many religious zealots are wont, at which point putting them down with lethal force becomes entirely justified, since at that point they’re already murderously feral.

so it has merit. But I can’t even imagine how i’d stomach wading into such an environment even just to document the fallout.

THIS IS THE WEAPON OF THE ENEMY. WE DO NOT NEED IT. WE WILL NOT USE IT.

Especially now that aniwave is dead ;_; good night sweet prince
