Did you just scoff at the idea of competition improving a market?

USA strikers should take notes

In the usa we did vote for AL gore, who campaigned pretty much solely on stopping climate change.

When it became clear gore would win, the Supreme Court stopped counting ballots and gave the win to Bush, an oil tycoon who went to war for oil. Later Kavanaugh, who worked the case for Bush, was given a lifetime appointment to the same court for their effective cronyism

So yes, the global elite are the reason here.

'We' can't address climate change because the global elite are dependent on the profits from harming the environment to fill their money banks, and it turns out they have all the power.

I do not need to rewire my brain, I need to build power structure so that I can eat the rich w/ that donut

Anyone using Storybook + React? How do you like it? Is it as bad as it seems at first? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I was pretty excited to add storybook to my project, but after setting up my basic components like buttons and moving on to higher level components that render slices of state using selectors .... I have regrets.

Is it me or is it really hard to 'storybook-i-fy' react components using selectors? I found this tutorial on the Storybook site and it looks like the preferred pattern is to duplicate your store in your storybook file? That can't be right, can it?

Someone talk me out of taking Storybook out back and uninstalling it from my repo.

People should be taught in school that humans are not that smart, and that there are many comparable species in intelligence. (sh.itjust.works)
 

This opinion is based on reading people's thoughts on the internet and remembering what I was taught in my own time in school (where they essentially stumbled into teaching that humans were some kind of 'peak' of the evolutionary process)

I think people have waaaaayyyy too much faith in human intelligence and it's leading to the destruction of the world.

1- People keep thinking a scientist or a 'rich entrepreneur' is going to come up with some magic bullet to save the world, if we taught more about how other animals have tools, language, larger and older and more complex brain structures than us - People might realize it's similar to believing that dolphin will arise from the sea with some idea to stop climate change

2- we keep participating in these systems that have been created under the assumption that we are 'making progress'. I would argue that the minority of human invention represents real progress.

3- It leads to undervaluing the earth and taking it for granted. We worship ourselves as gods (literally). Almost everything you have wasn't invented by humans. It was the result of billions of years of selective design. Yet we teach as if things we harvest from nature were 'invented' by humans. In reality, we often have no way to produce or even of conceive of these things without a natural example.

Thanks for reading

Grocery store garlic in hot areas? Sprout in fridge? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey all, I'd like to grow some garlic at home in containers.

Problem is I live near Phoenix, Arizona USA so it's quite hot outside most of the year.

Anyone have experience want to share some tips? I noticed some garlic bulbs starting to sprout in my fridge and thought I might be able to start some indoors from that.

'fiscal conservative' = supports tax cuts for the rich because they believe in trickle-down theory, still, somehow

yeah I think the sad part to me is that it seems the majorty of the men aren't realizing that the issue is the rich guy drank their milkshake. I'm extra angry in this comment chain, because I'm simultaneously being told in another comment that the reason men are slipping is that 'women have too many resources'.

Men have a choice. Join with women and fight the rich, or blame women and let's go to war.

And you're proving mine. Men whine about shit that women have had to shut up and deal with for centuries.

Women had to adjust to be expected to work and do housework, still make less money per hour of labor, still represent the minority of ceos/leaders/comfy asshole billionaires, way more likely to be the ones in danger physically when picking a partner incorrectly, but go on guys about how life is so hard for you. Sounds like most of you are considerably less able to adapt than the women around you.
