How does geo engineering dim the sun?

geo-

word-forming element meaning "earth, the Earth," ultimately from Greek geo-, combining form of Attic and Ionic gē "the earth, land, a land or country"

Well you see, it's like, this whole "solar" "energy", I done did tried to run my double-wide on two of those things with that U-B-S cable they come with, whole thing cost me around 30 dang-o smackaroos, and the little light was on saying it was "charging" all afternoon, but as soon as the sun went away, the light went away! Now how does a light know if it's daytime or not? Damn cia alien shit, just you wait. Then after a little while, it stopped charging my air compressor I use for my lady doll. Worst 30 bucks ever, all I got was blue balled and confused. Harbor Freight won't take em back either, feller was giving me a weird look when I tried to explain with my doll. Poor bastard ain't seen a pair of tits before or somethin.

I started a petition on truth social to bring back the sun at all times, so that myself and others don't get scammed by this "energy". Has over 64,000 signatures, mmmhm. It's all the damn libs fault, stealing our sun. Who's idea was it to have it go away anyway? Buncha dumbasses.

(fuck I think I lost brain cells but hopefully I created a character that everyone can see clearly in their mind. and yes I know geothermal [or whatever they think it is] isn't solar, that's part of the joke.)

It really does say something about the audience they're targeting

The full post by linked source Taylor Lorenz about this appears here on her Patreon (openly readable, not locked as of now).

She still writes on Substack, though, which ultimately works in support of This Sort of Thing.
