What are people doing to get this message? I haven't seen a YouTube ad in so long I can't remember.

  • Don't use the official app, use something like NewPipe or the equivalent on iPhone, on desktop use Firefox with uBlock origin (go into settings and enable filters at your leisure)

  • Get a VPN that has adblocking built in (I use Mullvad, I honestly don't know how effective it is because I have other adblocking as well on top)

  • if you want to get fancy with your home network, use AdGuard on a raspberry pi or docker or whatever works best for you

Just one? I'll do you a few better...

  • The Falcon 9 rocket put a hole in the ionosphere

  • Falcon 9 makes use of kerosene, which puts black soot into the atmosphere (if they used solely liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen the only thing left would be water vapour)

  • Serious damage at a Texas base (caused craters and debris to scatter around remote cameras)

  • An explosion on the launch pad during a test caused damage

  • Boca Chica...

    • Massive amounts of dust, which contain toxic shit

    • Destroyed the launchpad (scattering large chunks of concrete into delicate marine and coastal sanctuaries nearby)

Edit: fixed up formatting

I tried looking into "carbon neutral" the other day and got lost in a sea of bullshit. I didn't find a source that goes into the whole process in actual detail. I mean explaining things and giving practical examples of it all. I came out of it thinking, wow it's all just complete nonsense. "We do what we can to reduce emissions, then pay someone else to 'offset' the remaining emissions somehow by mysterious companies". Don't ask any more questions, okay? It's magic.

Destroying environments? Wasting money and fuel on false-promises (the Elon way)? I'm sure there's a tonne of other reasons.

I almost literally yawned reading the title. "Journalists" regurgitating things they don't understand and hyping them everytime like it's the breakthrough of the century. I feel it waters down actual breakthroughs and makes people immune or at least apathetic to these stories because it's the same thing over and over.

HTC TyTN II. Loved that thing. Used to pay Age of Empires on it.

Nazis are allowed a space to hang out

I said people you disagree with. I also stated I don't understand what is meant by "Nazis", I feel you're projecting an awful lot. The word Nazi doesn't even mean anything anymore. Maybe it means something to you personally, but what is in your mind has nothing to do with me. It's funny going into what I guess is quite an "echo chamber" and get accused and name-called and told to shut up. For what, exactly? So you consider yourself a tolerant person? If you are unable to tolerate anyone who doesn't subscribe to the exact same thoughts as yourself then I suspect the answer is no. Why don't you try basing arguments off actual merit, rather than leaping to your hail Mary Nazi shut down line. If you open your mind a little bit, I mean really, actually open it up to everything, I'm sure you'll find your anger start to subside. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and again, I wish you all the best.

I think your comment is the best take I've read so far. I agree wholeheartedly. As soon as I read it I thought of when I used to play WoW. Many alts I created similar to this. Having a fresh character, but something new without all the complications that came with being a higher level, more useless "responsibilities" with no real pay off. Because in the end it was still just a game. You may not fully see the connection, just know I understand where you're coming from in my own way. Thanks for sharing.

It's not an easy problem to solve. 'ppreciate ya.

Nobody likes to be made to feel stupid. A person without knowledge isn't stupid on the face of it, they're just a person without knowledge. I think the moment you start insulting someone the argument or whatever is already over at that point. At that point it's not a discussion it's the beginning of a mud slinging match.

Haha I think 4chan is a completely different beast. I'm seeing quite differing opinions on the thread, which is cool. It's enlightening to see how people think about issues like this. I can see how both sides hold merit. Though in a way I disagree on simply telling people they're wrong. I feel you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. In my experience, it's much more effective to ask people questions and maybe they begin to see, or not, it's out of my control at that point.

Sometimes it feels like a bandwagon. I'm sure a lot of the time people mindlessly downvote instinctually or are more likely to based simply on the existing score.
