And your point is? Are you arguing that alarmism isn't called for? That everything is fine and we shouldn't try to mitigate emissions?
Or are you simply arguing that most weather forecasters know very little about climate change so.... I guess I don't know what?
Again, what's your point? Are you just flexing or do you actually have something useful to contribute to the conversation?
Good. Karma just incentivizes the monetization of accounts. Without karma there is less incentive for bots and grifters since visibility/prominence/influence can no longer be bought and sold.
Scarcely. Read the majority opinion. It specifically carves out an exception for "creative works" (or whatever the exact term is, I honestly don't remember) which in effect says that you cannot be forced by law to create something that espouses a position or creed with which you disagree.
As of right now I don't have a strong opinion on the ruling either way, but I think it's worth getting what it says right before we condemn it.
I lean towards thinking that it makes distinctions with which I agree, but I'm going to withhold judgement until I learn more about the arguments and we have a better sense of how it's going to play out in practice.
16-year reddit user of much the same mind. I was a Sync user, but whatever one's app of choice, if reddit is going to tell us we can't use it, which is basically what they've done, they can get fucked.
"the US is a Republic not a democracy..."
Thanks for telling us that you don't know WTF you're talking about.
This idea of yours, that republics and democracies are somehow mutually exclusive concepts is a deeply stupid category error that has zero basis in political science (to say nothing of practical reality) and almost always is the redoubt of those who wish to justify the dysfunction of the current status quo.
