What’s also interesting is that you have to factor in the costs and CO2 emissions of the fuel source and it’s delivery method. A new building code for a county in my area was adopted which requires calculations for energy efficient HVAC systems and also CO2 emissions with those systems. Surprisingly, natural gas has less CO2 emissions associated with it, while electricity is 2.86 times as much. This is because grid electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels, then needs to be delivered to the site but there are many losses along the way. So even if the all electric equipment is twice as efficient as the equivalent natural gas equipment, it still contributes more CO2 production. This is part of the issue with phasing out natural gas and moving to all electric in its current state. But with that is the push (and requirements) to produce energy on site and shift towards net zero energy for commercial sites, which is definitely better than using grid power from an emissions standpoint.

As if the original viral footage wasn’t enough, but glad there are more angles to remove all doubt.

Pretty insane that his mother is literally willing to die for “justice” when it’s dead obvious he initiated everything. Some people are blind to the truth when it involves family.

For some people, everything has to be a conspiracy. Logical, easily verifiable reasons for things can’t possibly be the truth to them. Especially if it comes from the opposing political party, it is automatically false to them. Even if verifiable.

Honestly I wasn’t sure of the benefit either, but your response makes so much sense. I don’t know why there always has to be conspiracies for obvious stuff.

But in the US it unfortunately is. The right has made it a political “stance” while it’s just a matter of human rights. It shouldn’t be political, but it is and it pisses me off

This is exactly what made me leave Instagram years ago. When they changed it so you only get the algorithmic feed. I can’t stand it, why can’t we just choose the fucking sort order we want?? These platforms give users no control and it’s what makes them so frustrating to try to use. Reddit was the last “social” platform I was really using and now that’s gone to shit too.

I completely agree and don’t know how other people don’t notice the awful taste? Like the aftertaste is sooo gross and sticks around for awhile. Maybe it’s genetics and taste buds related. I also get bloated and headaches from things like sucralose.

On another note though I have actually found an artificial sweetener that doesn’t taste like ass and doesn’t have negative side effects like sucralose for me. Xylitol has been great and I can finally chew gum again that’s good for my teeth too.

Blueberry bagels are my second favorite. Spank me daddy

I won’t question the cooking on stone part, but as far as toppings on pizza go I honestly don’t care. Everyone has different tastes and if someone wants to put whatever abomination on their pizza so be it.

Also I actually like pineapple on pizza, but it’s not my favorite. I don’t know why people get so offended by it

Did you pay by yearly subscription? Might just be you already paid for the next several months until it expires, and just won’t renew the next billing cycle.

Otherwise that sounds like a bug that benefits you haha

I don’t know what’s going to happen once it starts getting even worse. Either we just accept it or do something but by then it’s too late to prevent more serious consequences.

With corporations essentially having control over everything, there’s not much we can do short of full on strikes and revolution. Saving the environment is just incapatable with capitalism and corporate greed

It’s honestly crazy how poorly this whole thing is being handled. Reddit admins are really showing their true colors and keep doubling down on everything, making themselves look like absolute fools. They realized they don’t have as much power as they wanted and are acting like grumpy children throwing a temper tantrum

This is actually hilarious and I love the creativity and malicious compliance here. It’s also a shame the admins response to this whole thing. They’re trying to claim that this whole thing is just a small group of moderates power tripping when in reality many of the subs held polls to go dark or continue protests. Before this all went down I saw a ton of people saying they should go dark indefinitely in many many subreddits.

Huffman is full of lies and bullshit and that’s the real reason people have so much backlash at this point

Lol, it’s like Spez is trying to act like Elon Musk at this point…

What’s crazy to me is it seems like they just want children to suffer. They want to force women to give birth, but then don’t give a shit about what happens to the children after. On top of that, it’s like they are trying to make them suffer even more for their parents being unable to provide.

I could somewhat get attacking programs for adults. Still disagree, but I guess it’s the “they should be able to provide for themselves” mentality. But then doing this for children when they are literally unable to provide for themselves or have any responsibility for being hungry. Yes, let’s make the helpless children suffer.

Disgusting times we live in.

This has already been affecting me a bit. Now I’m not complaining because I fully support it. But I’ve recently been looking up product suggestions, tech help, etc and many of the reddit links in the search results were private communities. I was like “oh so this is actually having an impact at least.”

I actually wish more subs would stay dark, especially since the CEO was basically like “they’ll get over it soon”
