There's also Drone Rights, the user everyone on the right thought was a troll because they had an unusual gender, and everyone on the left thought was a troll because they were banned from Hexbear

I didn't say all inflation hits billionaires harder. Just inflation from UBI. Inflation from stock growth hits workers harder, and that's why we need wage growth and UBI growth to outperform stock growth.

You've misunderstood. Huddling around campfires is wasteful and we shouldn't do it. We need solar panels, trains, and vegan food instead.

Emissions can refer to all greenhouse gases or only to carbon dioxide (CO2).[1] Reaching net zero is necessary to stop further global warming.[2] It requires deep cuts in emissions, for example by shifting from fossil fuels to sustainable energy, improving energy efficiency and halting deforestation. A small remaining fraction of emissions can then be offset using carbon dioxide removal.

For example, some standards for carbon neutral certification allow a lot of carbon offsetting. But net zero standards require reducing emissions to more than 90% and then only offsetting the remaining 10% or less to fall in line with 1.5 °C targets.

We can cut 25% of emissions with renewable electricity to replace fossil fuels. 28% by banning gas cars and airplanes except in emergencies. Maybe around 5-8% by banning animal agriculture. A few percentage points out of residential and industrial by banning onsite emission sources such as gas stoves. And maybe after all that effort we can get emissions down to 10% of what they presently are, but we might still need to radically rethink our industrial processes.

I guess I am. I didn't bother drawing a distinction between the two because the difference is one atom.

Well that was a different time. Kids these days are focused on getting good grades so they can get a decent job and prepare for the climate wars.

I tell the normies "It's like Reddit, but anyone can make a website that runs it, and all the websites talk to each other so a corporation can never control it" and the normies say that sounds awesome

Even in the former example the inflation hits the billionaire harder than the worker. For example if we all got a trillion dollars it wouldn't really matter that Elon has a trillion and a half. Scale that same principle down and UBI is good for the workers.

I always hate when I'm reading an old thread, someone comments with a great point, and then someone else starts an argument about necroing.

I unironically had fewer problems playing games on Linux after I switched from Debian to Arch. Turns out having the newest nvidia drivers is actually good

Nonsense, we'll still emit carbon dioxide through unavoidable processes like breathing, which we'll need to offset through rewilding. What I'm describing is what "net zero" was coined to refer to.

I want to go negative and suck carbon out of the air to fix the damage we've done.

I've got a better definition for you, from line 1:

Cults are social groups which have unusual, and often extreme, religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals

What is common is not unusual.
