And the fruits of big oil's labor are now ingrained within the fiber of American society. Go ask a few average Americans to give up their cars and let me know how it goes.

We've kinda somewhat seriously talked about this at my office ... A lot of very boring report writing goes away if you feed an LLM a log of daily activities (chats, commits, issue tickets, etc) across the team.

It's right there in the article.

The resolution called on BP to explain how its pursuit of rising oil and gas production aligned with a world shifting away from fossil fuels.

“The question is simple: how does BP plan to create value for shareholders as oil and gas demand declines?” said Mark van Baal, the founder of Follow This. “BP would rather antagonise its shareholders than answer it.”

That seems perfectly rational to me.

lol this thread is off the rails and should probably get modded

My summary of the conversation so far: @PugJesus@piefed.social offered evidence of some (supposedly controversial) event. @Objection@lemmy.ml rejected it outright without offering any competing evidence. Both are, according to the other, somehow a variety of fascist bootlicker. The shitposting aura is weak; too serious.

Great! Have you learned how to give cyclists the right of way yet?

More people need to leave the culture of consumerism behind in order for any meaningful change to happen.

Probably true. I'm not going to argue; I also feel that consumerism is generally harmful to society.

Cyclists are putting themselves and everyone else at a greater risk when they decide to try and share the road with motor vehicles. [citation needed]

I, too, once thought being forced to slow down and pay attention to my surroundings would put people in danger, but I have since grown into an adult with children and neighbors I care about. Why do you think roundabouts are safer and less congested than traffic signals? I'd be extremely unsurprised if road sharing actually made them safer overall.

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.

Considering that I made a comment pointing out the futility of trying to make good-faith arguments within this environment and a mod removed it, I think this is a relevant quotation. Thanks!

It would appear you're trying to argue against the contents of the above article by referencing an attribute or quality of the author. I believe we call that a genetic fallacy.

Would you like to try again?
