Know thy enemy
  • We aren’t consuming batteries anywhere near the rate we consume oil and coal. Hydrogen even less than batteries.

    So the amount of ships needed would still be a fraction of what we use now.

  • Make it about me
  • Ever seen a discussion about men complaining that they are assumed to be a threat just for being male get derailed by comments that it isn't a problem worth complaining about compared to women's issues?

    No I haven’t ever seen that. But that would be an example of whataboutism so pretty shitty thing to say.

    Or when the topic of how sexual abuse of boys is extremely common gets derailed as not really being an issue and dismissed by crime stats that often exclude non-penatrating sexual assaults?

    No I haven’t ever seen thing either but again that is dismissive and a terrible way to invalidate a legitimate problem.

    Yes it sucks when whataboutism is used to dismiss complaints, but it is also frustrating that the same whataboutism is used to silence discussion that is about the issues that men face.

    So you feel whataboutism/dismissive responses are only used against men? Or do you agree that that is not a good way to respond to legitimate issues regardless of gender?

  • Make it about me
  • Both scenarios are possible and it is shitty to use whataboutism in both scenarios.

    Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that's said is "there's a time and a place to talk about men's issues" but like when is it then?

    When it’s not being used as a whataboutism.

  • “Extreme Danger”: Harris Earns a Stunning Endorsement Over Trump
  • It is important to note that foreign nations like Iran, Russia and China are using this topic to convince voters to allow facism to win the election in the US. This doesn’t mean that Israel shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions. But history shows how foreign actors use these topics to manipulate us.

  • Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car?
  • I’ve found the range is better than what they claim for stop and go city driving due to regen braking. But otherwise the range estimate is about as accurate as the miles per gallon estimate on a gas car.

    It is definitely way cheaper to own than a gas car.

  • Yes, Actually, Individual Responsibility Is Essential to Solving the Climate Crisis
  • The individual carbon footprint approach does not force anyone to do anything. So those that do not want to will not make changes. That is why it won’t work. It requires 100% of the worlds population to just do the right thing.

    If there is not political/legal action to force change, most people will not change.
