It’s more of a philosophy than a system of governance. A government that follows anarchist ideals would not incarcerate people much, but would do a lot to make sure private individuals can’t attain much power over each other. It would be focused on preventing a tiered class system from forming and making sure people aren’t critically dependent on a single employer.

Not really. While the expertise in their manufacture is pretty concentrated, you can build a factory almost anywhere in theory. They don’t have a lot of exotic materials and the amount they need will probably drop in the future, so there won’t be a real solar equivalent to the petro-state. Maybe some places with a handy combination of sun and mineral resources could be desirable industrial regions, but it wouldn’t encourage war in the same way.

I have never felt so attacked in my life.

Is there anything wrong with Pandora?

It’ll be all up in the pipes and absorbed into the liner by the time you find it if the perp isn’t a colossal fuckup. I’m not sure if the film on top of the water will be thick enough to sustain flame anyway. It only takes like one five gallon tank, and diesel doesn’t make volatile fumes like gasoline.

It will turn the washing machine into a dirtying machine.

You can also dump diesel fuel in someone’s pool. I know a guy who knows a guy who had to fill in and bury his pool because he couldn’t ever get the smell out. I’m also pretty sure you can ruin tar shingles and sometimes fuck up someone’s driveway with diesel. It dissolves everything gasoline can but never evaporates. There are a million ways to ruin someone’s week or even year with diesel fuel before you even get into lighting it on fire.

Diesel fuel and roofing tar will leave irremovable stains and smells on anything it touches, and then if you’re stupid enough to try and wash it off it’ll ruin your washing machine too. The fact that it could be lit on fire is just for the fear factor, which is actually more useful for the movement if it’s never actually followed through on.

I like to think that the political machine we’re building to combat the Trump administration will flatten the DNC old guard pretty handily. Time will tell, but they barely had a handle on Bernie when there was no organization or understanding of the scale of the fight. I’m hopeful.

Wind as in the weather phenomenon.

It would definitely be funnier to train it to do that.

We can lift sanctions after they stop being shitty to themselves and supporting Russia. Not before.

Speaking in broad strokes, research yields improvements in the world’s quality of life. I couldn’t begin to list the amount of daily-life items built on research from NASA, but I’m pretty sure polarized sunglasses are one of the prime examples of how pervasive it is. Funding science is how we get cures and treatments for previously fatal illnesses. It makes products cheaper and better. It gives countries the advantage in wars, and may soon eliminate the incentive to wage war over oil.

Three weeks ago, my wife would have died in childbirth without a procedure that was studied and refined through research and experimentation, and her recovery was faster, easier, and safer because of new techniques and devices.

If you ain’t jerkin’ yer meat in the shitter you’re a coward and a bootlicker.

I’ve only been a parent for a few weeks, but so far it’s seeing him develop skills and understanding. He can’t crawl, but he’s getting better at squirming. The basics have been fascinating.

Is there a non-genocide reason for them to want to attack Iran after the government collapses?

That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy

I have the opposite. Suffering from failure.

Hmm, this sounds a lot like you’re thinking of someone specific. I wonder who that could be…

It’s nice to finally see the smart fella helping the fart smella out for once
