As if he cares about his family. I mean, he does in passing, but you know he’d give them up in a heartbeat if it held any advantage whatsoever to him personally. Well, except for the one he wanted to fuck, but she’s too old now. So even her.
We seriously need a plugin that replaces all words spoken by Trump’s mouthpieces to be replaced with static and line noise. I’m tired of reading the lies. It’d be one thing if they were interesting, but they’re so lame.
Corn grown for ethanol would not help in a food shortage, so for the idea of a food shortage, it is… not helpful.
We have plenty of land not being used right now that could be used to grow food.
But we don’t have a shortage of food. We have food being wasted and thrown away. We have plenty of excess food. This is like being worried about your driveway taking up valuable lawn space. It’s… not.
That’s always just one of the worst feelings in the world. This thing is supposed to work and be easy and… nope. Not there. It’s gone. Now you have work to do. heh
I do watch Alec, but this came from my own - informal - work.
Corn grown for ethanol is not edible by humans. Also, do you really think growing only 29,750,000 acres of corn instead of 30,000,000 acres is a meaningful difference? Because it’s not.
Do you realize how difficult it was to upvote that comment? I viscerally hate that. lol. But the sarcasm is perfect here, of course. But I still hate you <3
AND something tested to restore successfully, otherwise it’s just unknown data that might or might not work.

Go deny science somewhere else
Oh, are they learning from Trump?
Well, if he dies, he dies.
Glad to know that because of this one totally believable piece of anecdata, ADHD doesn’t fucking exist.

As someone who grew up as a fundamentalist Southern Baptist… it’s fundamental/evangelical Christianity that’s so bad.
My dad was a preacher’s kid, son of a Methodist minister. He’s still somewhat conservative in some ways, but he’s fine with LGBTQ+, and his philosophy is basically that while he believes in God, he can’t make that choice for anyone else, so he doesn’t really worry about it for anyone else, i.e. doesn’t evangelize, etc.
If all Christians were like my dad, I’d probably be okay still being a Christian instead of the atheist I am.
Good on you for your journey, and I hope you continue to find peace <3
When it stops having negative outcomes on peoples’ lives.
Infinite small sailing ships
And infinite small sailing ships could all simulatenously dock at our fractal infinitely long shorelines, all unloading their infinitely small cargo at the same instant, simultanously flooding the earth with infinite amounts of oil and zero amounts of oil that we wouldn’t notice at all. :)
Seaman certainly do.
In the US, we use a lot of prime farmland to grow corn that we turn into ethanol - 30,000,000 acres. Thirty million acres!
That ethanol is combined with gas (making the gas less efficient, by the way) and powers our cars in the US.
If you look at the number of miles the ethanol powers in the US, and calculate how many acres of solar we’d need to power electric cars to go that number of miles, we’d need to convert less than a quarter of a million of those acres to solar. So let’s round up from 214,000 acres to the 250,000 because… inefficiencies, or whatever.
So we could gain 29,750,000 acres of land to grow more food or whatever and stop growing corn to turn into ethanol just to burn it in our cars.
For that matter, if we wanted to use that ethanol land (JUST the land we’re using for ethanol) to power ALL cars in the US, switching everyone over to electric, it would only take about two million acres. Sure, 2,000,000 acres is a lot, but that would still be freeing up TWENTY EIGHT MILLION ACRES of land we’re using JUST to grow corn we turn into ethanol.
It does ignore anything like the chaos of forcing everyone to buy a new electric car, setting that infrastructure up - I’m not saying this would be easy, but it is stunning how much land we could stop abusing to grow corn to burn in our cars.
I was not the one who passed Citizens United.
I was not the one who set up Fox News and right-wing radio as propaganda outlets.
I was not the one who chose to make the Republicans work with Evangelicals to push wedge issues.
I was not the one who bought up all the media outlets to push Republican propaganda.
But sure, put all the blame on me when I’ve done my part to vote, try and convince others to vote, protested some when I could which hasn’t been all that much. I even have a wikipedia page because of something I did in 2009 to try and help.
But keep on blaming me and not the fascists and not the oligarchs who actually orchestrated this thing if it makes you feel better about yourself.
Are you happy with yourself now for blaming me? Do you feel better?
I’m not. But I do think he doesn’t care and would only try to use it to his advantage, yes. So not much actual disagrement with you.
