Was that room full of spineless cowards or something?

Congresspeople, so yes that kinda goes without saying.

Stopping fighting is how most wars ended. It’s not a fucking cage match between two militaries that only ends after every person in one of the two militaries is dead.

I’m old enough to remember people lying that compact discs were practically indestructible.

I think the early rounds of those trying to get people to switch to the format were motivated by the fact that tapes were easily recordable by everyone.

Also like solar wind and water power also involve science? As do coal plants? So like, really WTF are we even talking about with science “functioning”?

Edit: Seems like this is just the potato version of the “science is what’s true whether or not you believe it” quote applied to policy…which actually doesn’t work.

It doesn’t matter whether or not nuclear plants are possible if humans don’t build them. The science backing them existing is meaningless.

Nut up you fucking pussy.

It’s almost like…one is the leader of the richest country in the world and the other is running a government office that’s dismantling the government.

Seriously, if you guys were alive in the 1930s or 1940s you’d be there like “I just can’t pick up the paper anymore without talk of this Hitler guy!”.

If you limit yourself exclusively to communities where the “no politics” rule is actually enforced, you’ll exhaust new content within about two minutes each day.

It’s almost like US politics are a historic fucking shit show and that affects many other things.

100% agree
