Reply to comment by KaisarDragon in Greta Thunberg has joined a protest against wind farms. Here’s why. by SelectiveSanity

She is protesting existing wind farms. This means she IS protesting wind farms. Make it harder to build these things and they won't be built at all. She is asking to remove working turbines from a certain area (thus wasting tonnes of precious resources) without suggesting where to put them instead, with all the financial and legal implications that it would have. For example, how to enforce raising turbines near villages where peoples health would be compromised or how much it costs to compensate those people. Again, she is demanding things like a toddler, not proposing a solution.

Reply to comment by Zian64 in Purple Heart awarded to deputy in fatal shooting during middle school pickup prompts backlash by SLaSZT

Saying ACAB is not going to change anything. It will only make the so called thin blue line tighten up more and turn some of these agencies that act similar to gangs even more tight knit gangs. The whole us vs them mentality will just get worse. We need more level headed police and we need more funding for oversight and training. If we keep shitting on policing as a career you are gonna get more lazy and stupid cops and some who join to bully people. We also need communities to get more involved in policing and stop the whole snitches get stitches mentality that some communities have. So TLDR: fuck everyone shouting ACAB because you are not offering a solution to a problem.
