More importantly, the evil people running the petroleum industry are in fact old, but that is not why they are evil.
Evil people in positions of power tend to be old because a) it takes time to accumulate power, and b) folks with power tend to keep it till they’re dead. It’s just statistics - it doesn’t mean oldness causes evil.
Downvoted for ageism.

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're DoingEnglish
64·22 days agoWisconsin already blocks access to all goverment websites if you use a VPN. I can’t even check the garbage collection schedule for my town. I always thought it was this misguided concept that they thought only “hackers” would want to be anonymous. It seems they are really working for the data brokers, who don’t want anyone to be anonymous.

news@lemmings.world•Florida beekeeper loses livelihood after neighbor has 20 beehives removed from his propertyEnglish
291·1 month agoCome on people, fuck! I almost never complain about bad headline gramnar, though it is rampant. It seems to be just something you have to live with these days.
The sentence has two subject/predicate pairs: “beekeeper loses,” and “neighbor has.” So when it comes time for the possessive pronoun “his”… who the fuck is that?
Many would say you should avoid this pronoun altogether. But if you are determined to use it, please at least make it refer to the last mentioned subject!
This story would be very different (and not much of a story at all) if the neighbor had beehives removed from the neighbor’s own property, which is what the headline literally says.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?
21·1 month agoAnd yet the democratic party remains the only one where progressives are able to have a voice and make a modicum of progress.
Also, I didn’t say anything about democrats, positive or negative, in my comment. OP was about republicans, so I commented about republicans.

The average republican is not super wealthy, of course, but they are manipulated and controlled by those who are.
OK, yes, but that is over simplifying Einstein’s “thought experiment.” Or perhaps he’s the one who oversimplified it?
He should have said there is no experiment which can distinguish between an acceleration and a uniform gravitational field.
Of course, the latter doesn’t exist in nature. So,…
