Do you know how easy geoengineering is to fuck up? And how global and severe the consequences are if we do? Plus, geoengineering is the kind of thing one country, or a billionaire moron on a private island, could do, and kill us all.

I like porn, but I don’t think it’s healthy for young teens. Just like weed.
It’s more like there’s an active shooter, and we know any violent techniques we use to stop him will immediately be seen by the right as fair game tactics against us in any context, and used against us in perpetuity.
She got voted out of her political position because she was too conservative for her district, now she’s an official shill.
