"Russians now sell a lot of oil to India for rupees (and note that there does not seem to be any initiative to bomb India for engaging in this trade), but then are basically forced to use those same rupees to buy stuff from India again

No, I'm saying that 420 parts per million is still much lower than 3000-9000 parts per million. Also, even a number they chose is plain trolling. Of all numbers, 420 ppm is what they "calculated".

"I speak German and I can guarantee you that American military presence has approximately zero influence on German politics." Then why the fuck did they put sanctions on Russia? Why the fuck did they agree to buy a much more expen

You can't argue with "the truth" here. Global warming has been a mainstream scarecrow for decades now. In truth, it was just a way to slow down the growth of rival industrialized countries, or countries that are yet to indust

So, in addition to ignoring the very solution nature gave us, you argue that we must bury the dead plant matter because the CO2 will be released back into the atmosphere if we don't. You realize there are bacteria and insects that eat

Of course we don't have a clue. But people will pull all kinds of crazy out of their ass to justify the climate-change hoax.

"Had the South survived I would suspect it would be much poorer today than the North as its economy would probably get stuck in extraction and labor exploitation" You do know how the US economy works today? You know why everyone a

"Neither Japan nor Germany are in any sense of the word American vassal states." Both states harbor huge US military bases. Bases that were established after literal military occupation and not by choice. It's safe to say tha

The US did benefit from slavery and the fact that most of Europe ended up destroyed in WWII. However, it did not use green energy to build up its huge industry. It used fossil fuels. If it did use carbon-free energy sources, I would have ag

The article debunks the CO2 quantity from only one such emission. There are hundreds of active volcanoes on the Earth's surface and possibly thousands more in the oceans.

"I think it is safe to say we are already well equipped with it, and whatever our plans for its reduction are, we won't eliminate it." The CO2 current levels in the atmosphere are 0.04%. Levels in the past were well above 1%.

"the US economic boom is largely attributable to slavery and WW2 decimating its rivals and forcing them to agree to quasi-vassality. Should we bring back slavery and start a new world war? So that it's "fair" for the dev

1. Fossil fuels can't just run out because they are produced continuously by dead matter decaying over time. It's in the name. 2. Carbon dioxide is good for the plant life. Plants are literally "breathing" it and produci

This usually happens to me when I wake up, then try to sleep shortly after. I hear a loud cracking noise, like something snapped in the back of head. Then I suddenly rise up and wait a bit in order to calm down.

Chatbots assistants make you too reliant on a service which reliability you can't control. First, there is the fact that ChatGPT and it's cousins require an active internet connection, unlike some other tools that similarly booste

You win the thread. Finally working as intended. Perhaps now people will use their brains more, instead of relying on stupid chatbots.

How do you explain the continued presence of US military inside Syria?

Iraq, Syria comes to mind. Yes, the US is still in Syria. They would have tried that shit with Venezuela, but Ruskies got there first.

East India Company is surely one of the biggest plagues ever on mankind. As the name says, it was a private megacorporation, with it's own navy and private army. Nation states kill for the ideals. Private companies that have the power

"falling into the arms of state actors that won't be so moral about it?" What do you mean by "moral"? State actors have interests, major corporations also have their interests. Very few of them can be called moral.

Yeah, I guess you're right. This is a thread about SpaceX, and I'm just hijacking it for my selfish reasons. SpaceX is cool, I really hope they get to the Moon one day.
