  • I mean sure, maybe there is no difference. But then, like the plane you’re better off not using the sail and just pointing the fan the opposite way so it pushes the boat fwd.

    The engine on a plane pushes the airplane forward. The reversers redirect a portion of the thrust forward slowing the aircraft down. The best thrust reversers get MAYBE 50% efficiency. On the boat there is no reason to throw out half the fans thrust.

    That’s combined with the fact that the sail isn’t an effective thrust reverser and that the worst case efficiency is negative. If you don’t redirect enough air backwards you won’t even overcome the fans thrust let alone produce a net reverse thrust.









  • Because the rich want to distract us from the real class war by redirecting anger at old people. Old people who lived in quite possibly the easiest lives with the most generous minimum living conditions and social safety nets that have existed, and were tricked by the rich to give it all up so they’re kids wouldn’t have it, because most of them have brain damage from lead in fuel.


  • And PP would have done better? Please. Fuck off with this shit.

    You vote because there are vulnerable people who have their rights removed or WORSE under conservative and fascist leadership. You vote in solidarity with them.

    Voting doesn’t mean you support someone or believe in them. It’s a 1 hour activity you do because you have a duty to those directly harmed by fascism.

    For those directly harmed by neoliberalism and settler colonialism there was never a candidate for that. That’s what the other 8765 hours in the year are for. That and surviving our late stage capitalist society. This is true whether or not you vote.



  • Placebo is a powerful misunderstood effect!

    For these products they LITERALLY have to have no effect on the body to be sold over the counter. Any meaningful absorption through the skin into the body means they will be regulated and sold behind the counter, usually with prescription.

    If they do more than moisturise, dry, clean, or add a scent they’re regulated.









  • That’s a conservative thought. The main feature of conservatism is a social hierarchy where the law is meant to bind and punish those at the bottom.

    Even though conservative ideology is poison which should be eliminated through education and a clamp down on “opinion” news networks like Fox, and conservative leaders have committed endless crimes they should be punished for them. However the average conservative voter is no different than you and I except for the fact they’re massive scared gullible little idiots and that’s not a crime.

    The second we start to group people and decide to treat different groups differently then we’re succumbing to conservatism ourselves.
