3seashells··on Jupe: Off-grid shelters that pop up anywhere on Earth
That one guy building a fire, getting smoked and hammered, then sleeping it out in this. Now your jupw smells like smoke, vomit and weed. Idea is dead. Next.
3seashells··on Scrollbars are becoming a problem
The problem is also waste of real estate, empty space for aestetics. Reading a conversation in teams etc. is outright painful. My suspicion is that it's some company internal engagement metric gambling ala every click on the scrollbar is a "use", much "use",less time spend in other apps equals promotion.
3seashells··on Undermining Democracy: The EU Commission's Controversial Push for Surveillance
Democratic Politics is not there to be efficient. It's there so sociopaths can backstab one another civilized.
3seashells··on 'A.I. Obama' and Fake Newscasters: How A.I. Audio Is Swarming TikTok
I wonder how Obama has such a hold over the rights imagination. He was a bad president all in all (Syrian red lines/biofuel caused Arabian spring) but not exceptionally though. He definitely was no bush or Trump. And the ability to direct affairs for president or congress has significantly shrunk ever since the cold War ended.
3seashells··on The Death of the Internet as a Haven for People with Autism
We all expect the arrival of the great discord newsfeed bot now that investor money has dried up? Can't wait to go back to IRC. Discord is horrible in all the ways I despise. The only reason to go there is the people. And when it comes to people, I have hope, cause even meta can't own them..

3seashells··on Automakers invented the crime of jaywalking (2015)
It adds reliability, unconscious adherence to rules, a reduction of friction. I don't want people to jdrive in pedestrian only zones, just because nobody is up and about. Chaos is a mental taxation, ditracting from endavour.

There is value in a society that upholds norms even if you don't agree with them, even if nobody is watching. I will wait in a ghost city for a green light, ridicule away.

3seashells··on The Global Town Square Is in Ruins
There is another considerable danger: people in denial of what's happening, becoming involuntary spreaders of deglobalization by performing the rituals that used to bring back the illusion of endless progress, physics and stubborn tardedness of mankind be damned. These old world zombies are a danger to themselves and others, delaying adaption, giving ever more territory to mad ideas and authoritarians.
3seashells··on 3,000-plus illegally dumped tires found in dredging of Philadelphia river
Just throw them in the Forrest. Taxes for garbage disposal. are just pre paid tranches for future stupidity.
3seashells··on 3,000-plus illegally dumped tires found in dredging of Philadelphia river
Can't have free garbage disposal at the landfill, cause that socialism. Now it's army corps of egineerism and it's okay.

And I thought it was hit on the head lessons here. And I don't want to argue about that..
3seashells··on Christopher Columbus Letter on What He Discovered in America Could Fetch $1.5M
Usually destroying a library is a haphazard thing done by illiterate people. When the secularists raided the monastrys during the Bildersturm, the old tomes were used to line the muddy roads, thrown into ditches and ponds. Maybe something similar happened here. One of the helpers, afraid of the return of the empire that always was, packed holy scripture into pockets/pots and then took it home. In that case it would make sense to look for them near the old villages of the tribal helpers?
3seashells··on Christopher Columbus Letter on What He Discovered in America Could Fetch $1.5M
The Mayan colonized there neighbors pretty brutally, so much so the suppressed tribes supported the conquistadores. So guessing, there libraries were filled with empire justification nonsense as found today still in the old colonial time libraries of Britain, France, Russia and us.

So, let us reconstruct one: "tar, we are gods chosen special people for we murdered and enslaved the hippies of the costal regions. We brought them roads and protection from inter tribe warfare. This empire of ours will go on forever.we have no pity for God told us all the others are not real people and we can trample them freely. "

Your utopia is in another castle, Mario.

3seashells··on Farm in Kenya to produce fossil-free fertilizer on site
The northern native Americans mostly lived from meat. They seem to have not suffered any malnutrition?

Another thing.. Non fungicide treated plant based food seems to cause a amount of cancer. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/s...

That running out was also the reason for ww2. As empires could not be trusted on free trade and thus any non empire was one trade crisis away from starvation with haber Bosch. Thus the various "economic independence" aka autarky movements by non colonial powers that became monstrous programs for medieval like farming.

3seashells··on When does federal debt reach unsustainable levels?
When the resource that backs it, aka imperial security provided vs economic value extracedrreaches zero. So the answer is.. Global war, global collapse..

3seashells··on Overshooting Earth’s Boundaries: An Interview with Bill Rees
Yes, there is. The human brain is a rather primitive hunter gather apparatus, that resorts to brutal aggression & societal decomplexification the moment the endless surplus ends. Hoping that better tech saves one from this, is like believing that going all in with higher risk, will save one from bankruptcy due to gambling.
