That’s a thought I did not need in my head.

Nooooo!!! (Actually I’ve never tried Emacs)
Always happy to help people move away from MS
This sounds amazing. One mode you can be a cat stuck in a house with 3 other cats that don’t get along. You have to try to drop a deuce without getting attacked, you have to mark territory without making your “owner” upset about peeing in the house.

You could do this easily with Crystal and Kemal.
I think “owning the libs” is a desirable side-effect and not their main goal.
Their main goal is to keep the lower class voters ignorant and uneducated so that history can be denied and they can be more easily manipulated into voting for right wingers using appeals to emotion (e.g. hatred, racism, patriotism, way of life). This is of course to keep power where it is.
I think this is where “compartmentalization” comes in. Similar in concept to how you are forced to wall off sadness when a loved one dies so that you can continue to live your life, I think there are mentally competent right wingers, but they wall off the logic and reasoning so that it applies only to machines. They do this because if those ideas of logic and reason get beyond the wall/outside of the compartment, the meaning of their lives falls apart.

I support the strike!
Political pressure comes in part from people like me who live around here and where they’d look for other sites. I don’t want trucks full of nuclear waste constantly being trucked through my area (and your area!), I don’t want to be viewed as a bomb target by enemies. I don’t want trucks of nuclear waste around the country being viewed as dirty bomb targets.
Even without the political pressure, how is nuclear power clean when massive massive holes in the ground have to be created and maintained with huge trucks and cranes using fossil fuels so we have a place to store waste that will be dangerous for tens of thousands of years? Yucca Mountain has taken decades to approve and build, any other sites will likely also. Spent nuclear fuel having to be trucked across the country using fossil fuels and tires, at best can be converted to battery power.
Nuclear plants take a decade or more to build, we don’t have that kind of time when it comes to climate change.
Nuclear power makes nuclear disarmament that much less likely
All of this is also assuming our current civilization continues for tens of thousands of years unbroken. If for some reason 500 years from now civilization broke down or was taken over and the average person couldn’t read English anymore, how would we transmit the idea of everlasting danger in a geographic region to those who may see things very differently?
I’ll be in my office downloading some files.
fr, I’m living in a bubble for the rest of my life.
It’s just the radioactive waste we don’t know what to do with and becoming a military or terrorist target parts that are dangerous.
No corporation can ever be trusted, they exist to exploit you.
I think walled gardens are inevitable, and desirable, and the walls have doors. I think we’ll end up with a big mainstream garden/island of federation of U.S. pop culture w/ Threads and CNN and my mom. Other gardens/islands for things like child safe content, adult only content, servers that refuse to federate with for-profit servers (where I’ll be), etc.
Also, I suspect it will (or already is) be common for people to have multiple accounts on different servers for different purposes. I find myself blocking all porn, not because I’m anti porn but it’s just not what I’m looking for when I log in with this account. When I want porn, I’ll make an account on the nsfw server just for that.
