baka kaba posted:The issue is that they're powerful, and their power lies in their ability to produce fossil fuels and the world's dependence on them. Except the ‘they’ here is not really the oil companies, but the owners of the oil and gas reserves. Which in some cases are the same thing, but usually are not; most oil reserves are effectively owned and controlled by states, individuals or dynasties, not corporations. An energy engineering firm can reasonably easily transition into nuclear or renewables; Putin, the Saudi royals and Texan landowners would have it much harder.

It's all standard singing techniques, like glissando and voice breaking, but she's doing it literally everywhere she can, which, again, is what tweens trying to sound grown up do. They're best used sparingly to emphasise crescendos and dynamic inflections.

OwlFancier posted:I would suggest that given about 50% of his posting is "oh but socialism would hurt me because I don't want to have any sort of participation in anything" I'm going to suggest that he has quite a lot of trouble giving the faintest poo poo about anyone else. I can have working relationships with people but I lately I have had the bad luck of ending up in very cliquey places. Like the sort of place where if this were a country with looser labor laws, I would likely be kicked out the door for no better reason than "lack of cultural fit". Where everyone not only attends office functions but also have the exact same interests and hang out together outside of work. Just worried about that sort of thing being enhanced, that's all. I just want a job where I am given the tools and knowledge to do my work, I do it, and I get paid. I don't want to have to "believe in the mission" or have to change my interests to get along with people. Guavanaut posted:Also capitalism is ridiculously based on networking and nepotism over merit so it's not like it's any better if you don't get on with people. Fair enough.

It's like they want to alienate people. Less capable of outright harm than nationalism with one, but an excellent case study of what cardboard cutout nationalism looks like. Also they've never understood the reasons behind the Leave vote, they themselves are pointing at cardboard racists while clinging to their own anchor.

I've been walking in the morning and coming back this morning there was a squirrel stuck out a park next to a busy road. Which wouldn't be bad but coming in the other direction was a woman with a dog and he seemed very interested in the squirrel. We spent a few minutes trying to direct the squirrel away from the road and into the park before he finally jumped on a lamppost and grabbed a low hanging branch. I know grey squirrels should go the way of capitalism but i didn't fancy seeing one squashed this morning.

Guavanaut posted:Yeah, the main reasons I didn't vote Leave were Corbyn's "actually things are bad but a Tory Brexit would be much worse", Farage's "let's run a literal nazi propaganda poster about the swarms of undesirables that'll be a laugh", and a couple of STEM types saying "yeah the EU has been a force for unbelievable poo poo sometimes, but the whole Leave campaign is based on nostalgia for things that never were and zero understanding of logistics." Dammit I knew that joke was missing something. Zalakwe posted:Just make it up why don't you? #whoosh. We need their money and likely their engineering and delivery capacity to prevent catastrophe. Yes. Specifically, we need it not to be doing what it is currently doing. They aren't going to stop doing that unless we make them, or the damage it is causing becomes so severe that it impacts their immediate profits to the point where they have to, which is well past the point where them stopping would be helpful. Even ignoring the fact that that point has long since passed and they haven't fuckign stopped. They literally knew 50 years ago that they needed to radically change their model to avoid killing the planet and instead they doubled down. We also need engineering and delivery capacity and money to prevent catastrophe but those things are not ever going to do that if they are in the control of companies whose sole goal and reason for existence is PROFIT from OIL. If you think we can get out of the pocket of big oil fast enough to deliver the research and investment necessary to avert the climate crisis you are dreaming. Right back at you. Taking their money to do some greenwashing whilst continuing to allow them to drill and frack and bake shale and so on and so forth, is exactly the opposite of getting out of the pocket of big oil. It is directly cooperating with them to climb further loving in. It's not about someone getting richer, that's a secondary problem (though don't get me wrong, it absolutely is a problem). It's about the oil industry's existence being one of the primary drivers of the single largest catastrophe currently facing mankind. Note, however, that I'm not suggesting that greenwashing money should be refused (though we absolutely shouldn't be putting any oil company branding on any of it, or giving any of them any credit for it at all, regardless of what the contracts might say). However, it's never going to be enough - it literally cannot be enough - to prevent the damage the oil industry is doing, unless we start actively confiscating money at a level which severely impacts profits, at the bare minimum, from companies which are actively killing the planet, before they succeed, if they haven't already succeeded, at killing the drat planet. It may be that that is impossible. I suspect it is impossible. But the status quo ante clearly isn't successfully addressing the issue, and the status quo ante has included oil companies using tiny proportions of their profits for greenwashing endeavours since the 70s. Greenwashing oil companies aren't new, and it clearly isn't working.

Extreme big brain Boris Johnson on the news saying that police officers have to feel confident that if someone comes up to them with a knife in their hand they have the powers to do a routine stop and search. I think it's a bit past that by that point.  bessantj posted:I've had a few conversations with Brexiteers over the last few days and something that always seems to come up is 'self-sufficiency' and it got me thinking is the U.K. actually self-sufficient in anything? I'm not sure what the importance of self-sufficiency even is anymore. It has its place in African socialism and anarcho-syndicalism, but Britain is not close to either of those states of existence. Brexit is closer to the pseudo-autarky of fascist-business alliances.
