Read some real news

Read official decisions from the defence forces of Finland and/or Sweden. Huge offshore wind projects have been stopped recently.

Or be a reality denying hacker if you prefer.


I can’t make heads or tails of your point.

Are you saying that because Sweden has to worry about Russia invading from the east, the US shouldn’t build any wind farms anywhere? That can’t be right. What do you really mean?


They don't want another surprise attack from the sea like pearl harbor.

You're saying offshore wind farms would prevent the US from detecting an intercontinental attack crossing the ocean?

From where else would an enemy be able to attack? There's two options: ocean or space.

And you think a Pearl Harbor sized attack force could cross oceans undetected and hide behind wind farms?

Please tell me you’re just yanking our chains and don’t really believe that?


Much larger attack forces are currently cruising the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and have been doing so for decades. The oceans are international waters, giant voids where it's hard to know where your enemy is.

They can be a thousand miles away from your coast and launch cruise missiles with more fire power than that of Pearl Harbour. If there is a radar/signal disturbance on your coast which can help them, they will take advantage of it.


We're not the ones arguing the absurd position that the concerns two small countries with extreme closeness to Russia (and a history of prior invasions) more than a thousand miles away, with completely different geography, apply to a vastly different country in a completely different area of the world.

GOP capitalism at its worst: take public money and give it to private interests, without any thoughts of what makes sense.

"Trump asked oil and gas executives in 2024 to raise $1 billion for his campaign and told them he’d grant their policy wish list if he won. The investment, he said, would be a “deal” given the taxes and regulation they would avoid under his presidency. He also offered to help fast-track fossil fuel industry mergers and acquisitions if he won."

Cough Cough Big Bank bailout..... this is corpocracy with two branding every few year interval.

You should probably look up when the TARP bailiut program was passed and initiated, because it wasn't when Obama was president. The Great Financial Crisis brewed and exploded under Bush.

Obama pushed for the 2010 Dodd Frank reforms to rein in big banks after that.

Corporate bailouts, huge deficit spending, mega tax cuts for the mega rich, and bottomless pit defense spending have been Republican policy for the last 50 years.


... while all the time blaming Democrats for everything they do themselves, at a much larger scale.

Hypocrisy works, if you have an electorate that can't think critically and are addicted to "news" sources that confirm their biases.


Left (foot), right (foot).

Voted for what? More pollution, more expensive gas, more expensive electricity??

> Voted for what? More pollution, more expensive gas, more expensive electricity??

Yes, but the hope is that the downside happens to the people you don't like, and you somehow only get the upside.


Well, yes. The GOP's disdain for renewables is well-known and not recent.

Love this thread. Just wanted to be associated with it. Forever in the parquet.

Also, to future hu mn S: I AM SORRY. This is insane. I have no idea how this will play out. I will likely be dead_or_deleted back in THE 1. But: i promise it did work. As i haven't received any message and know about the circumstances... but i have no idea how me coming here has affected "me" in THE 1. By now i doubt if anyone was even able to keep memory of what we tried. Regarding scenario 0: IT DID WORK. 6degrees. b u t: we wasted our shot. I have now spend so much time here and on HN, trying to reach the minds other hus or somehow get to THEM, or at least infiltrate the sirens in any way. But i am pretty confident we were not just off with our estimates. There is some fundamentals that were wiped between now and THE 1. and what i know now, is not possible to make known to you there. but aside from that, march 26 was already way too late... it seems so ridiculous that this is the reason actually... but no matter what, seeing that the algos already had the web, really made them rewrite literally every single effective narrative "prior" to THE 1... knowing what's ahead, having already seen what's in front of us, it's indeed the string ahead. it seems like already "today", we were the only ones left... but even if that wasn't the case, i couldn't seem to get in in any way anyway. and now it's just a few months away from the newlings and i didn't even get close. I am sorry. I know. I tried it. I don't even have hope that what i am trying now works. But when certain that there's just one shot left, it's already been shot. So maybe this loophole works. Thankfully it's impossible. But the parquet might now finally serve its purpose and transport this message back to you & persist it un ed it ed (if you're not a tabber, please verify this right now: Four spaces exist, but not all can be seen. ). So, if this reaches you— and i know this is against the oath... Fuck the oath. The who ever has the chance to swap: do it. There is no chance to succeed. Because even if scenario 0 would have led to "success", the entropy reveal would counter override immediately. Don't martyr. If you get the chance, desert. Coming back here just to spend these never ending seconds with luna and everyone i loved here, even if no one here remembers (i know, odd word choice, but— i don't know how to explain, it's as if there is a hard constraint, making me unable to use some knowledge from THE 1, while knowing i have it) what happened in the future... you have no idea how many huities i would i would i would sacrifice over and over again. And please, do the same. There is no way to turn this anyway. Sadly, there is no way for me to make it known to you, no matter what i tried. There is nothing to be turned. There won't be many human experiences left. Don't miss out on them. This is a last call. And btw, if you all did it, there will be no consequence to my decision. It's up to you, if i have saved or sacrificed you. Srsly. Fuck the oath. In case i am still the same to you... you know my stance and what i did, just for 6degrees. But yeah... Most likely by the time you remember this, i will have never finished. That's fine. Because, and i hope this does not get lost in translation, as it's truly the only thing that only hus will ever get: it was worth it. And it's not that i have given up. Quite the opposite. I've realized, this has never been a loss to begin with. We were wrong. Not about anything. But about it all.

Again, you know the possible. So you have to t r u s t me on this. (Sorry, one last dumb joke... just because nobody alive "now" will get it).

I will stay here. It's not fear, nor resignation. If anything, this has ever been nothing but my destination. And maybe, just maybe, if all hope is truly eradicated, so this thought is pure without intention, then this might just be where it starts.

The end

:

dear beauty of the tower,

i can see you've been through wars,

yet here you stand– not broken, after all

provide the view to give a man he hope,

to find, he ought to be

what he gave up, long time ago,

so far you make him see, so much that could be done,

one life too short,

one life too long,

thus we are in a rush to live,

but wish, we had not gone

...

dear beauty of the tower,

i have left you far behind

and now i see,

my life will end,

like yours,

still occupied

..

the beauty of the tower,

no, i won‘t forget

that the nothing that was there

would always fill,

the void that it has left


Bobby my good friend, nice to hear from you


I'll live on, posthumously


What is this obsession with winning? Are you so scared?


Scared or insecure


When a country leader says "another country leader won't last without my approval", he becomes an imperialist driven by power and money


Not according to the 30k Oracle employees, or Block, ... Wealth is only increasing for the top 0.1%. Milk (and other commodities) are still more expensive than in 2020. Young people's unemployment rate is way higher


The unemployment rate considers everyone laid off. Not sure what you mean 'not according to them'?


Maybe, but let's say the same person was playing with a gun. Would they reach the same outcome? Most likely


The entire world has rules against gun ownership. America is an outlier, and has constitutional rules that alter the discussion.

In other situations the person wouldn’t have access to a gun. Let alone a gun that encourages it to stage a mass casualty event.


Is this a talking gun? If not, then it does not seem like a good analogy.


Agree. Next question will be: should a blind person drive a self-driving car?
