  • There are so many better climate change comparisons than this yet I keep hearing this stupid one repeated over and over. Ultimately it doesn’t matter than billionaires personally emite more carbon than “the average person” because even if they dropped that stat to match the average there would be absolutely no difference.

    Target the biggest carbon emitters which is businesses. Every time carbon emissions is brought up it should be in the context of making businesses emit less carbon. Make them pay for emitting carbon, give tax credits for green technology that stuff will be infinetly more effective that targeting specific people.

    I don’t care that Taylor swift took a jet to her concert its not her issue to fix. Its the responsibility of the government to solve this through strong environmental policy. Government policy changing incentives will flow down to the individual and adjust their behaviour instead of a mob trying to shame individuals into changing their behaviour.










  • I haven’t seen gmail used in a business setting and I don’t think the auto responses cut it all the time. There is usually a message I want to get across but I don’t want to risk making the other person defensive or upset so I use ai to soften it.

    Its good for apologies because I’m usually not sorry for whatever happened and find it hard to pretend.

    The military does have a responsibility to protect its civilians. Because hamas choose to start a war and continue to conduct war with blatant use of the civilian population as cover we shouldn’t be surprised or shocked when civilians are caught up in the crossfire.

    The death toll that’s given by hamas doesn’t include militants which is why it must always be mentioned. 40,000 deaths sounds worse than 20,000 military casualties and 20,000 civilian casualties. Especially when we know that the hamas military strategy is to maximize civilian casualties.
