Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.

Many will recommend you use Stremio instead. You'll probably want to use a VPN depending on your region though.

It's also because they can't run headline after headline with "Trump lied" and expect to get clicks. News has become an engagement farm where in the past newspapers and other media were less, well, engaging.

Corporations using open source projects to maximize profits is very common.

Welfare for people in need has to be as difficult and painful as possible. Corporate handouts don't need any of that. /s

You seem to be trying to push a narrative that I don't oppose as if I do. I support degrowth but your reasons are flawed.

Pumped Hydro, solar, and wind don't really use lithium, nickel, or cobalt. Those are mostly used in NCM Liion cells that none of these use. Permanent magnets would probably be the biggest headache tbh.

Idk why we'd need silicone, we're not making sex toys here. /s silicon is most common in sand and rocks, something there is plenty of basically everywhere.

I don't care what you're saying for this circular problem. I've literally not addressed it once because I agree with you, I just don't agree with your reasoning.

specialist minerals needed for hydro storage and renewables

What specialist materials are we talking about? Wind, solar, and pumped hydro use primarily copper, silicon, carbon, and concrete.

Pretty sure there's enough weapons grade plutonium to run the US for 100 years in decommissioned nuclear weapons alone.

I think 100 years is enough time to build pumped hydro storage and renewables like solar/wind.

It's honestly kinda sad because during the same time period the Japanese were arguably being worse to the Chinese. Even at the same time period the holocaust wasn't unique.

The people the meme is referring to call themselves anarcho-capitalists, it's not even implicit. It's why they have the blue line flag and Gadsden flag, where normally these would be contradictory they lack the critical thinking skills to not polish boots with their tongue.

it's really hard to not tip knowing they need that tip but also hard to enable shitty practices. I think the best play is to not buy things from places that pay employees through tips. If you tip or not, the business doesn't fucking care but if you don't buy at all and encourage others to not buy it makes them pretend to care.

Sounds like aluminum is a loner and iron plays well with others. I'd bet there is still more iron encountered every day than aluminum even if the aluminum is pure and the iron is alloyed.
