Hijacking a plane wouldn't be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60's. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.

Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

2001 you could use a pay phone to stay anonymous.

This is a serious part of the problem. Home insurance, car insurance, can be bad, but at least you don't usually have to deal with them. You can go years without needing anything from your home insurance.

You WILL need healthcare, minimum once a year. Most people need it every month or every few months. Your car insurance doesn't pay for your oil changes or new tires because those are guaranteed maintenance costs, not unexpected emergencies.

If it's important enough that it can't wait until tomorrow, it's important enough to pay someone for.

Steam never showed me this game. It said I have never played a game like it.

I've played arpgs, tactical RPGs, and crpgs,

What more do you need steam?

Pixel RPGs? Western RPGs?

I guess steam thinks the target audience is people that played Red Dead Redemption on steam.

Technically, the carbon came from the air and returns to the air, but taking the pellets from where the tree died and turning them into pellets and transporting them to the furnace costs energy too.

Also all the tree carbon that doesn't make it into the pellets goes into the air. So the cost is greater than the gain.

If we grew trees and then buried them it could be a form of carbon capture. But we need to get the energy to do that from somewhere.

Most of us don't worship our dads.

We have some good memories and some bad ones. I know I do. Walz reminds me, and I think a lot of other people, of the good memories of my dad. My dad is a flawed human being that struggled to do the right thing sometimes but he did struggle, and I love him for the things he taught me and the good memories he left me.

That's warm fuzzies, not worship

It's not weird if you agree with the premise in general just not her in specific.

To the extent that talking about something can help, it can be helpful. It brings it to the top of mind so maybe individuals err on the side of safety when they otherwise wouldn't. Or it reminds workers of policies already in place.

To the extent it conflicts with the bottom line, it's a waste of time. Unless the company is willing to legit sacrifice profits for the benefits of HSE, it's just a nothing bullshit paper you have to sign.

I actually disagree. Removing it is a democratic idea. We already have 2 houses of Congress which must agree to pass legislation and the president must sign it unless Congress can muster a supermajority.

Any voter has had 4 chances in the ballot box to represent their interest, we do not need to set artificially higher standards to prevent legislation from passing.

If voters sow the wind by electing lawmakers that support reckless or harmful policy, then voters should reap the whirlwind that results.

Harris healthcare plan in 2020 was to the left of Bidens, She called for Medicare for all. She dissagreed with Bernie about banning private insurance.

She was not against universal healthcare. I doubt she is now. If Dems sweep the house and somehow picked up 10 seats in the Senate (impossible) she might try to go for it.

It's not impossible in 2026 for Dems to make big gains in the Senate, but it is very, very unlikely.

Then why are you here?

If you don't believe in electoral politics that's fine. But you should be off organizing union drives, or mutual aid societies, or literally any other venue for democratic power.

Why would you care which corporate shill holds office?

Your presence here suggests that it does, in fact, matter who wins elections, or which team holds power.
