We made it this way because you're stupid. Also, if you don't like it, you're stupid.
No wonder it turned out to be a pile of dogshit.
Better to have that sign up, I guess, than to have a corpse rolled through your lobby.
How can I get this motherfucker to stop showing up in my feeds? I have him and all his subs blocked, and he still wriggles into my life.
I'm not playing defense for anyone. I'm recognizing that deconstructing the corporate money-making machine will take longer than we have to fix the more immediate problem of killing off our biosphere, so working with the system, broken as it is, may be the only way forward.
I'm not debating the finer points of morality; just the reality of the situation.

Most of the legitimate "block sunlight" proposals involve cloud seeding or spreading long-lasting particulates high in the upper atmosphere. The goal of these projects is to reflect 1-2% of sunlight, which would significantly cool the climate, but plants would hardly notice. In fact, organisms like reef systems would greatly appreciate it, as they're dying off at an extraordinary rate.

I mean, if we're going to keep pretending that dancing around and slugging each other is a "sport," then it makes sense to have children play it, right?

Yeah, looks like a nighttime image of the island with some smoke added to it.
Considering how easy it is to set up a screen reader or to set an overriding font on most browsers, this seems like an exercise in futility. That said, something like mssystem ought to do it -- standardized, block-style typeface, with little to differentiate the individual letters.
They pulled a rifle on him for a missing mudflap, so yeah, I'd be terrified, too.
