Comment Re:Force companies to remove their own emissions (Score 1) 130

Companies that release fossil carbon as CO don't.

YOU are the one choosing to emit CO (and CO2) when you burn the fuel to drive your car. YOU are the one choosing to emit CO when you heat your house. What are YOU doing to address YOUR emissions?

If YOU are not doing anything, then why should you expect anyone else to do so?

Because we have to believe there will be a future. And currently our kids are not sure there will be.

Dude, I grew up under the threat of nuclear annihilation. Don't start preaching to me about the kids of today not believing there is a future. That tactic has been used all of my life.

The willingness of most of the Republicans to accede power to Trump to not incur his wrath and thus protect their reelection chances will come back to bite them when the Democrats retake control.

Both parties are batting for the same team. Or think of it more like American style football:: The Republicans are of the offense and the Democrats are the defense... both are playing for the same team and YOU are the opposing team. Supporting either party is still suicidally stupid... even if you can clearly say one party is worse than the other. Both are out to fulfill an agenda not created or affected by YOU.

While I was reading your thoughtful comment, it occurred to me that people want perfection. Male or female, they want a 'partner' that fits their preconceived notions; however, this is the Real World and nobody will EVER fulfill your (or my) preconceived notions.

In short, 'everyone' thinks they want something; however, upon examination, what they think they want is not what they really want, so when they get what they think they want, they are frustrated because it does not satisfy. And children are expected to be created (and hopefully raised) from all of this. Oh my.

I think it's more likely due to the fact that Louisiana just happens to have a big, wide open terrain much more suitable for a high-volume spaceport than Texas does.

I went through every word of this sentence, trying to make sense of it. It just does not add up. I think it has something to do with the words "big and wide" in relation to Texas that is really working me over. Perhaps it is the location in relation to the equator that is throwing me. Can you restate the sentence in English so I can understand it please because it sounds like total nonsense to me.

If I were Canada, I would have walked out of the trade negotiations, shut all borders to the USA, and stopped all trade and communications with the USA. The disrespect can not be tolerated. It is rough for Canada that they can not do that. An invasion would be imminent. (I never thought I would say that about "my" own country. wtf happened here? When did we transition to "might makes right" fully?)

he fact that any deal with Trump is meaningless anyway, his word is worth less than nothing and agreements with him might as well be written on toilet paper

Why don't any nations call this out directly and publicly? The USA is not trustworthy right now. That should be called out and paraded around. If a nation can't keep its treaties (Russia), then they should be shunned entirely on the international stage. Period.

America's President is tearing down his own White House and saving Canadians the trip

And all Americans are obliviously letting it all happen.

Yes yes yes. I am soooo eager to have a fascist dictatorship implemented within my home country. Freedom just sucks and is boring. I would much rather slave away for another person's benefit if it means YOU get to suffer. /s

Apparently, everyone still has FULL trust in the electoral system. I can not possibly imagine why since the votes ALWAYS go in a direction that appears to contradict what everyone says they want. Weird that.

Sites legitimately need to know your screen dimensions for stuff like layout. They legitimately need to know your OS for recommending the right download links. They legitimately need to know your graphics capabilities to render the right thing.

No. They don't. It is more convenient for them to get this information, but they do NOT legitimately need to know. I am perfectly capable of resizing the window. I am perfectly capable of choosing the correct download link for my operating system. Websites do not "need" to display graphics that are so far out of the norm that a standard graphics card couldn't draw them.

"I" am in control, not "them". Do NOT attempt to take control away from me.
