and your subtle intimations that somehow the cost of fossil fuels might not be enough to counter the literally billions of people who would not be alive today without their advent

Oh shit this is precious AF, keep going with your absolute proof that your reading comprehension skills are shit.

Comment Re:Beer is ass (Score 1) 66

A real lightweight could get quite tipsy on a single Big Little Thing tall boy, 19.2 oz, 9.5% ABV. They're like four bucks at my local grocery outlet, too.

I used to have a fairly unfortunately serious drinking habit, but I've scaled back, and one of these gets me a nice buzz on. And I'm a big dude.

I also genuinely enjoy IPAs, while I would generally rather not drink a Pilsener and despise sours. But I'm not mad at people who want to drink those other beers, and a lot of people think an IPA tastes like Pine-Sol. People should let people like things, yeesh.

Comment Re:Thanks to Oil, lives are saved. Here is why (Score 2) 93

Lives are saved, and lives are lost. But more importantly and validly than doing the math on the net, we should talk about whether we have alternatives now. For some purposes, no. For most purposes, yes. Therefore we can reduce our use of fossil fuels, and we should, because it will save still more lives. The debate is not over whether we ever should have started burning fossil fuels, because we could not have gotten here without them. It's about how quickly we can and should stop.

The health system is a problem, the diet is a problem, but the pollution is also a problem. Pretending it is not is literally insane, and it benefits no one except the owners and investors of the fossil fuel industry — and even for them there are significant negative effects.

Here's where I found out I hated the author:

Newsom has made his point and should move on.

Yeah, it's working, so he should stop it? Man, fuck that fucking fuck. More importantly though, that sentence proves conclusively that he should not stop it, because it's working. In short, the very same thing the author says before the above-quoted turd.
