Infinite money machines are trivially easy.
No, they are literally impossible.
What you describe is a seemingly-infinite-money-machine.
It's an enemy state bent on Taiwan's destruction
If the Taiwanese had that viewpoint, and acted upon it, Taiwan would be a province of China again. Fortunately, Taiwanese people are smarter than you.
Not everyone agrees with you that what we are referencing can be described as, "handing someone a tool to manipulate you with."
The PRC is Taiwan's largest trading partner, and responsible for just about all of their tourism.
The relations between those two entities is very close. I know that doesn't fit your worldview, but that's your worldview's problem, not reality's.
Cut it out? This is a discussion board. If you can't handle people providing their own opinion about your content, especially when it was a single post that wasn't attacking you, then stop posting. With the time you save, learn to meditate. You'll live longer.
I didn't attack your stupid opinion, I attacked your stupid reasoning.
So yes, please cut it the fuck out. The world is getting dumber at an already upsetting rate, it doesn't need your contribution.
I'd love to meditate, unfortunately people like you who think everything in life is fucking Team A and Team B vote.
The environment is a global issue. Every little bit helps or at least slows down the damage. Every slow down is meaningful, or do you not try to apply the breaks when your car is about to hit something?
Breaking is something you do to something you don't like.
Braking is when you apply brakes to slow something down.
Every little bit does not, in fact, help.
In fact, if we look at the problem correctly, focusing on insignificant things is in fact a detriment.
Bandwidth for change is limited. Wasting it on shit that will never fucking matter only aids the avoidance of changing things that do.
It's dishonest and bad faith.
Incorrect.
It is neither of those things.
Are you holding that in order to have a criticism of the rule making process of the Catholic church, one must be Catholic?
That's almost stunningly wrong.
I agree that Rockefeller should fry in Hades and that his name should be erased.
This being said:
(1) The penalty for possession of small amounts of weed was liberalized to a $100 fine in the late 1970s, likely when you were a toddler.
(2) Under Bloomberg, the NYPD was in the habit of arresting people for possession of small amounts citing "public display", which was a misdemeanor, so didn't affect voting rights.
Pig: turn out your pockets
Joint falls on ground.
Pig: Oink! Oink! It's on public display now.
Most of those cases were dropped in court in any case, judges knew the game.
I'm fine with less assimilation
I'm OK with reasonable enforcement of immigration laws, not with stopping people not engaging in overt criminal conduct on the street and asking for papers like it was the USSR in 1985. (And sometimes, still harassing them AFTER they've shown proof of legal residency or even citizenship.)
Yeah, I have a temper. You've only seen a tiny sliver of it. Be glad.
It is true that 0.1% is not as much as other uses, sure, but that doesn't mean that it's an insignificant amount.
In point of fact, it means precisely that.
Significance is quite literally defined by its effect. In this instance, the effect is academically interesting, nothing more.
Golf courses are a serious problem.
No, they're not.
They're a problem.
So are data centers.
No, they're not.
They're a problem.
The amount of water going into crops we don't even eat? That's a serious problem.
You're a fucking idiot.
Screaming and yelling that some fucker's lawnmower is a serious problem while your fucking Suburban idles in the background.
1/10 of 1% of all the water used in the country doesn't sound like much
Using a small percentage to make a massive quantity appear insignificant? That's not only lazy, it's dishonest
You must be such a sad and fucking angry little man. It's fascinating.
Science and religion are in full accord but science and faith are in complete discord.
