  • Quite a few of them, yeah. And that’s in spite of a corrupt 6–3 Republican SCOTUS breathing down his neck and the neck of his EPA. Was this supposed to be a “gotcha”?

    The environmental policy of the Joe Biden administration includes a series of laws, regulations, and programs introduced by United States President Joe Biden since he took office in January 2021. Many of the actions taken by the Biden administration reversed the policies of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Biden’s climate change policy focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, similar to the efforts taken by the Obama administration. Biden promised to end and reverse deforestation and land degradation by 2030. The main climate target of the Biden administration is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the United States to net zero by 2050. A climate team was created to lead the effort.

    On his first day in office, Biden began to make policy changes to protect the environment. He began revising and strengthening the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and ordered a number of executive orders aimed at reviewing or undoing the environmental policies of the former administration, including removal of some wildlife protections, the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, and drilling for oil and gas on federal lands. In the same day he rejoined the Paris Agreement.

    Literally Day 1, but I guess you thought you were being clever by doing zero research but acting confidently smarmy enough not to be called out for it.


  • Matthew 6:19–24 (NIV):

    19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

    22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

    24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.




  • An infinite amount of monkeys each given an infinite amount of time would produce all infinite strings possible on a typewriter (this includes ones that just happen to be terminated with a neverending substring of blank spaces, i.e. one where the monkey stops or presses whitespace keys and nothing else an arbitrary number of times).

    If a cure for cancer exists and is expressable through language, they would not only produce one, but it would be there in every single language transliteratable to a Latin script; it would be there in ASCII art; it would be there in literally every text-based form imaginable. Of course the trouble would be sorting the infinite wheat from the infinite chaff.

    Edit: https://libraryofbabel.info/ for the finite strings of 3200 characters.



  • Oh, that’s cool that you’re vegan. I agree I should go vegan too if I want to post stuff like this, and I’m sorry for that. In lieu of removing my post, I’ve decided that from this day onward, I’m going to be a guy who’s been vegetarian for five years, vegan for two, and decided to moderate and frequent this community about veganism. Unlike you who’s never posted in a vegan community but suddenly cares about the integrity of one after you saw a post endorsing a political message you ostensibly don’t like.
