Wasn't Boost for Reddit a paid app? I seem to recall paying money for it.

So cute, how the title would say "Cannot Stop", but for the fact it would make the paper's owners' and advertisers' billionaire overlords piss their daipers.

Wait. Are you under the impression that that flimsy 1.5in tube-steel, the steps leading up to it, and the sheet-metal platform connected to that are somehow load-bearing for the Ferris Wheel itself?

This setup all rides on/is a trailer with outriggers like you'll find on construction equipment.

Sure, that's all hidden by the platform that's literally there for no other reason than to support the riders as they enter and leave the ride, but if your county inspectors don't know to check the outriggers first, you've got problems, so many problems, none of which have anything to do with these particular carnies.

Edit: One of the outriggers, one of several, promise, to the right of the stair. You'll notice there is no BS between it and the ground, as it itself is height-adjustable.

Edit: nevermind, its a quote from the author, not a creative reinterpretation by OP.

All the tech-bro stuff in the late ninetees was proclaiming this future, that the only way to make a living would be as a creative/producer(ideally, free-lance, so they said), and that the only ways to have freedom would be through open-source and self-authored software.

That last the is real reason it will always be useful to learn to code, until they take that freedom, too, away from us.

Oh good. Makes it easier to ignore them as the ravings of those most deranged of uninteresting normie morons.

If identifying with the billionaires' desires is your cope, the rest of us are under no obligation to respect that.

The only thing he definitely got right is that last bit about the new boss. The rest is too vague to call true, false, or even slightly useful.

Did they sneak Perturabo in as a joke?

Who said anything about "the bigger" contributer? No one is calling increased cloud-cover the solution - hell, I literally stated we need it to buy time, because spoiler alert: it will take decades if not centuries for the extra CO2 we've put into the atmosphere to filter back out. We could easilly reach net-zero or net-negative CO2 emissions only to all end up dead well before seeing any positive effects.

In case you need this spelled out also: No-one is suggesting we should put sulfer back into marine fuels.

Way to miss the sarcasm. I'll take just about anything between the billionaire's goal of killing not-quite-everyone(which we keep telling them will result in their deaths too, because they are idiots, demonstrating their idiocy by wanting this), and saving everyone.

OBVIOUSLY, I don't expect saving everyone to be an option, but trying is better than the doomer option of saving no-one. Mind you, we're long past the point where many endangered plants and animals could be saved without our help, just in case you wanna play the "but we deserve to die" card.

Agreeing we deserve to die doesn't mean we are allowed to just give up and take down even more entire eco-systems with us.

Funny thing about an adrenaline rush, is sometimes it increases your co-ordination, strength, and decision-making skills. Not everyone panics and does their best to impede anyone trying to actually triage and fix the situation.

Mean-while, these people are scientists, trying to execute a, frankly, small-scale expiriment to confirm what we already know from an accidental, world-spanning expiriment that was already done over decades. They are trying to do so in a way that, at worst, will do no harm.

... but no, you're right, nimby-ism will save us all.
