I honestly couldn't tell whether this was an expert troll, or the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Burning wood is extremely polluting. Not just CO2 but also particulates, green house gasses and toxic chemicals:

>Wood smoke pollutants include fine particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, dioxins, and furans. Breathing air containing wood smoke can cause a number of serious respiratory and cardiovascular health problems.

So your solution to California's energy crisis is to bathe the already #1 creator of pollution in the USA, into an even bigger black cloud.

I can practically see the drool on your keyboard from the foaming at the mouth, and you're telling me to grow up? Delicious. Absolutely delicious.

I personally love how much mental gymnastics you had to do to explain the cognitive dissonance.

The internet wasn't always consolidated onto about 10 multi-billion dollar websites with strict rules about "Content". It used to be a free form wild west, just like Slashdot used to be.

Look anywhere with lax rules and you'll see creativity. 4chan for example. (if you can stomach all the disgusting stuff that comes with that freedom.) Half the good memes start there before they end up at Reddit, which then spams them, and then finally "journalists" who get paid write articles... about memes... (k.y.s.) and then parrot them back to the most detached parts of culture.

Maybe the kind professionals use for publicity photos?

I am also excited that entire groups of vaginas are in space for the first time. Because there's no difference between men and women, so the only thing left is genitals apparently. So horray for genitals.

My pronouns are faggot and the n-word [for plural].

Your move.

You asked for it. You defended private companies "are private and can do whatever they want."

Well, enjoy the world you created.

Remember that HUR DUR PRIVATE COMPANY nonesense all these retards kept spouting the last ten years every time our privacy was erroded and we moved closer and closer to a privatized version of China's "social credit" system?

YOU WANTED THIS WORLD, now you get to live in it, you hipster bastards.

No True Democrat fallacy

You took what is an obvious joke, and then responded to it with an unnecessary seriousness.

You must be GREAT at parties! ---(this part is a joke. Please do not then go on to explain your methodology of social interaction at parties.)

Especially in the Northern blue states.

Which is hilarious because "use after free" bugs are one, single, kind of error.

It'll stop a buffer from being overrun. It _wont_ stop a routine that assumes "no user id = root permissions". Which shipped in real, production code.

...'witty' Trump jokes out there. Notice how nobody is actually discussing merits of the actual action.

The reality is, a space military department is WAY overdue because China and Russia ALREADY HAVE THEM. Simply pretending the world is how we *wish* it was, won't stop their weapons research. Just because we want space to be some magical gravity-free version of the Olympics doesn't mean other countries see it that way.

Neil Degrasse Tyson himself has defended it saying, "Just because it came out of Trump's mouth doesn't automatically make it a crazy thing."

You want something horrifying? Look into China (and Russia's) hypersonic missile projects. Missiles that travel so fast they _cannot_ be intercepted by physical means, and are quote, "starting a new arms race." You think nukes are bad? Imagine a nuke that can fly from China to anywhere in the world "in under an hour" and gives less than "3 minutes for a defense system to detect, identify, and respond."

And that's just the weapon systems we KNOW the world is developing. We also KNOW that since 2007, China and Russia have been deploying "anti-satellite" missile systems.

>a lot of talk of those jobs going to out of towners instead of native New Yorkers.

So New Yorkers are a bunch of bigots? Gotta fight the idea of jobs go "over the border" to a bunch of foreigners?
