I just finished Raising Steam, and thus have completed the Discworld novels, bar the Science of thr Discworld books. What an adventure. I wasn't much of a reader going into it and it took me years to finish them all, but I am so glad I did it and proud I stuck with it all this time.

Not a teen here but the amount of sex that show characters have seems crazy to me and I genuinely think it affected me because I couldn't keep up as an impressionable child. It's ok to have lots of sex but do we have to act like that's normal and that I should be suffering when I go more than a month without sex?

Did some searching. You're referencing a podcast in which known propagandist and liar Tucker Carlson claims that an anonymous source of his implies the NSA broke into his Signal messages. Wish you'd qualified that in the post because that's important context.

Don't you think it's way more likely that the guy blew his cover some other way? Googling hotels near the Kremlin or something? You know, because he's a dumbass?

Is there any reason to believe the message and sender can be read from the data sent to the push service? From my understanding, that should still be encrypted.

POCH IN

I think this is an unfair article, and it reads like someone who's obsessed with right-wing talking points substituting their political allies and enemies with Texas and California.

The real relevant section is the one right before you posted the chart. Texas is bringing people building data centers, Bitcoin mines, and has a high demand for air conditioning, therefore it has a massive power demand that California doesn't have. It's unreasonable to expect Texas to compete with California on a metric of Clean GWh per Total GWh when California has less than half the power demand. The fossil fuels infrastructure is already established so of course it is going to be relied on in a place like Texas to support their ventures into data centers etc.

I think a better perspective is to notice how, despite a reliance on free-market forces (and as another commenter mentioned, a relationship between politicians and oil companies) Texas' clean energy scene has grown to be the biggest in the country. It clearly indicates that there is an apolitical nature to the inevitability of clean energy. Anyway I prefer that conversation to getting swept up in whatever Matt Walsh has to say.

Why on Earth would Trump invade Canada?

I really appreciate this take. Sounds like you've found a good situation. I'm sure there's not really a perfect job so you'll always have to compromise on something.

It's not the wild west anymore. The politics are bad, but people are mostly the same as anywhere else. Maybe you should visit.

Racism. I play pickup soccer.

Same struggle. Are you referencing a specific instance and if so can you link an article or something?

Dude I just can't get my friends to do anything other than OSRS
