Damned if we did, damned if we didn’t.

You act as if I flaunt US democracy, which I didn’t, and like there’s only 1 party that we could’ve voted for, which there isn’t.

Yes, I do get it. I live here and I disagree with the administration.

Last time I checked, literally nobody here is in support of us invading Greenland. Just the muck at the top.

Dear American Administration*

That’s crazy. I never would’ve guessed. Did you also know solar panels have a theoretical limit of 33%, which is diminished even more when sunlight is further blocked? Wow! That means they’re horribly inefficient and even more so when less light comes in! Who knew! So really we’re talking about pennies on the dollar at the end of the day when something like supplying a grid at a larger level would mean nuclear.

Realistically in this situation are you legally justified in shooting if they barge into your home without a warrant? Save you survive the wall of gunfire they will inevitably deliver, will you have legs in court to stand on or are you fucked regardless for engaging with federal authorities?

(Let’s assume a state that has castle doctrine)

I wholeheartedly agree with that. Doesn’t seem like anyone is though unfortunately.

That is excellent and cost effective, however what then when there’s no sun out or it’s cloudy? Will you not travel?

Wind turbines can’t meet the energy demand of the infrastructure unfortunately. Nuclear is the most feasible option however, with the exception of France, no country has really committed to an energy source that can adequately support charging all these batteries albeit oil, natural gas, renewable energy etc. Oil and natural gas still continue to be the cheapest

Right. And how many countries currently use or are planning to use this In a large scale capacity besides France? Oh yea.

No need to be a dickhead.

Not that Trump is right but, how will we charge said batteries…?

Well I think that’s the wrong question to ask. I believe it’s probably best to get a handful of communities with a strong user base and encourage more people to come before we start slowly expanding out to more niche communities.

Take 4chan for example. To this day, I believe there’s less than 25-30 boards. Everybody just funnels down to one of some 30 odd communities, and they post their thread there.

For Lemmy, we have so many different fediverses and then on top of that there’s communities within each fediverse! Theres multiple ones for news, and politics and technology and memes. And I understand that is the appeal of being decentralized but it also means we never really amass numbers for communities. So, with that in context, I think it would be smart to encourage a strong user base in maybe one fediverse or assortment of communities before spreading out.

When you have a lot of small niche communities without a large population, there’s just no recipe to keep that community afloat unfortunately.

I agree with this. Leads to communities being drip fed and having small user bases where eventually most people (who are not committed) just end up back on Reddit.

Nuh uh, he said amerikuh great! We’re gunna show how great amerikuh is with all these tariffs and show of force!!!
