I think it's fun to imagine there are only a few hundred freaks with persecution complexes and then thousands of normal people with normal reasons to move who are like 'well this is extremely embarrassing to be associated with but this is super convenient for getting my visa'
I'm so distracted by the 50kg sacks of rice. That seems like such a pain in the ass size to deal with compared to 20-30 kg for seemingly no reason. I think that's too large to even fit neatly on standard sized pallets so I don't think you're even saving volume.
And then it seems like way too much for end distribution unless it's going to a community kitchen.
yeah no shit that's the emissions per capita part. It was 'oversimplified' but I guess still too hard for you to understand?
Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.
If you didn't actually have a rebuttal you could have just not engaged instead of being a smug prick with nothing to add.

It doesn't need to be, the core concept is simple. We are already overpopulated because we are failing to sustainably provide for 8 billion people. Doubling the number of people to provide for is not going to help.
The only people here conflating economic value with human worth are the people who are outraged. An easily automated employee isn't of high value to a company, like no shit.
Unless we figure out carbon neutrality without cratering HDI in the next year or two maybe lets work on reducing birth rates. 'we could have 20 billion people if we all live like subsistence farmers' is fucking stupid.
I just wish the musk circlejerk stayed in /c/enough_musk_spam. I’m not obsessed with him so I don’t care about his texas drainage permits any more than anyone else’s county drainage permits.
The only reason to care about this 'story' is if you enjoy getting mad at musk. It is so absurdly inconsequential compared to all the stuff happening in the world that is actually newsworthy. I don't care if people want to obsess over him but it should be in a community for it. This isn't tech news.
exactly the type of missing the point that I was talking about *
And of course nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

A lot of people get off on hating musk, they only really want an excuse at this point. Like the very upvoted comment 'I don't care if it's outputting pure spring water'.
Nobody would care about this at all if it was any other company. 'Company erodes county owned ditch without proper permit with water that would meet drinking water standards if you dilute it by half'. But people enjoy getting mad at musk so it gets clicks and upvotes. And of course this and every other comment that isn't saying musk should be hanged for this will be downvoted because nuance is dead and if you're not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.
There is not so much of a shortage of real problems in the world that some permitting issue over a ditch in texas deserves global attention.
*oh what a surprise. the musk anti-fandom took offense.
Really bizarre to write or post an article saying this deposit was 'discovered'. This is decade old news. I saw the headline and thought 'oh nice that's like a whole other Thacker Pass' but it literally is just Thacker Pass.
Somebody needs to figure out a way to prevent people from upvoting headlines of articles they haven't read because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no reason to post or upvote this.
