    You have a stronger will than I, being able to read all that and (presumably) not go insane in the process. Was there anything in particular that you learned that stuck out to you?

      • climate change projections are really a CYOA depending on how optimistic or pessimistic you want to be, and there is zero agreement on what remedies should be undertaken as a part of resolving it
      • virtually all of the reporting you’ve probably ever heard about Columbine is polluted by some degree of mistruth, miscommunication, or lies from the media, the police, or relevant parties with their own agendas
      • if there’s any justice in the world, Pacific Gas & Electric executives will all be sent to the 9th circle of hell
      • socialists got pretty wacky when they were allowed to take power throughout the mountain West during the heyday of the Socialist Party of America, and communists even moreso during their brief period of relevance in the eastern corner of Montana
      • a lot of conservative Americans are very clearly best described as “stupid fascists”, which is to say they are essentially fascist politically but so politically propaganized against that term, politically ignorant, or just plainly stupid that they don’t realize they are essentially fascist. this is probably and currently saving us from an even more developed fascist movement than already exists, but how long it’ll hold is not clear

        Thanks for that! Now I don’t have to read any of that. /s

        By CYOA did you mean cover your own ass or choose your own adventure?

        Pacific Gas & Electric

        That sent me on a !!fun!! Wikipedia trip. My favorite was a sniper attack on a substation that DHS alleged might have been an inside job. Also that’s a lot of fires.
