If they can sue for "damages," then I believe that the rest of us should be able to form a class action suit. It is established that the fuel producers were aware of climate change caused by their product and saught to obfuscate the discourse surrounding it. This action has had actual measurable damages that would bankrupt them if they were actually held to account. The federal and state governments also have cause to sue because much of this burden has been borne by tax dollars. In fact, California should file a countersuit to recoupe the costs on public health, increased fire danger, economic losses caused by drought, lost tax income from early death, etc.

It's incredible that this administration fails to meet even the lowest bar of competence. Fortunately, that is often, though not always, to the benefit of everyone outside the death cult.

Well, I'm just glad my government contributed to and validated these militants' claims so they could execute a renal patient who went off the reservation after they funded and trained him. Now, children can continue to suffer and die from this entirely preventable disease.

Why not cut funding when you've got hurricanes regularly causing extreme effects all the way to the center of the continent?

But they do believe in the state's rights to legalize slavery and a racist structure.

Some people, yes. I'm not interested in being nice. I'm interested in putting an end to 400+ years of racist trash making life difficult and creating as much suffering as they possibly can.

Life in prison is not enough. That may have been an option after the civil war if they had done what needed to be done at the time. Unfortunately, this go around, there will need to be more drastic measures, and this doesn't just involve the officials, but the supporters as well. There is a blood debt that will need to be paid if we'll ever move beyond this for good.

  1. I didn't.

I got this "game" for free back in 2014. I can't recall the last time I logged into it. There was never anything to do. If they ever release anything they promised, I likely won't be able to log in anymore 🤣.

I already explained my reasoning, and it didn't include just knowing what it is. Nice bait with the edit, though.

I assure you it's not taught as basic history here. Certain events from the period are discussed, but not with that phrasing.

It isn't something many Americans would be familiar with nor on the front of their mind to use as an expression. That individual is likely Chinese or has an unusual interest in 19th-century Chinese history for an American. There is no need to be a smug asshole about basic facts.

 

I'm backing up my windows device today and plan on installing a Linux distro. My primary use for this PC is gaming, though I do complete some banking and other tasks I find cumbersome on my phone.

My technical skill level is "knows enough to get into the shit, but not enough to get out." I did use Ubuntu exclusively for a period of about 3-5 years over a decade ago.

One con I've found regarding this OS is that it has "no browser in Live environment," but I have no idea what that means.

If anyone has experience with this OS or good tips/recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
