This is the kind of thing I like to get out of these conversations. This could work at solving the problem, now all we need is a large political apparatus to push it.
The ultimate optimist in me is secretly hoping that people who just want to get some good done in the world are playing the selfish idiots' paranoia to reduce a long-standing humanitarian issue.
No seriously, that's some racist-ass shit. Fuck you, and your imagined colonial past. Things are substantially better now in the vast majority of developing nations than they ever were under colonial control.
Birth rates are down, death rates are down, education rates are up, diseases are getting eradicated, and assholes like you just want to imagine you know what's best for everyone.
And of course, there's always RAID, if you're the kind of person who actually seriously beats on your drives, and just can't deal with the loss of data ever.
Or, you know, I've actually read a bit about the conspiracies, and how their re-emergence is tied into the 60s anti-satanic panics, and the bullshit balance fallacy you're pushing isn't substantiated by any, you know, evidence.
What do hippies have to do with Illuminati nutters? The top few names that pop to mind when it comes to that nonsense are hard-right folks like John Todd or Des Griffin.
And Alex Jones, if you count relabeling the same conspiracy theories as "NWO".
"No see, I joined after the misogyny, just like I joined the skinheads after the holocaust, and I really care about immigration".
The fact that being really outrageously offended over a metaphorical statement in an editorial is fucking petty is just icing on the stupid cake.
You joined a misogynistic movement. Accept that and learn from it, or see overly defensive users with mod points guarding you as a justification for how right you are. I don't care that much.
I didn't want to spout my mouth and say that and be corrected by someone more knowledge of the increased safety of modern reactors. I just wanted to stick to what I knew was true for sure.
As someone who sorta agrees with you, the usual claim that fossil fuel industries are subsidized tends to incorporate my above claim that they aren't paying the external costs of their products.
I'm all for solar. Satellites are a fucking moronic way to implement it. Like it would take the world's GDP several times over to launch enough satellites to meet the world's energy demands.

That's not entirely true. They've been hiring developers pretty consistently.
Well, Star Wars has been known to have serious consequences for youth with side effects such as lifelong virginity.

So, systemically, how do you combat that? I'm on board with supporting reform, but complaining isn't the same as reform.
Keep in mind actively punish prosecutors for procedural violations won't happen for political reasons.

The best thing is when they intentionally play off sane, informed people as denialistic nutters a la "Ancient Aliens"
Oh yeah, I'm real stung that a racist asshole called me a "SJW".
Fuck off and take your backwards beliefs with you.
Backups aren't the discussion here, data loss due to drive failure is.
Context means everything, and you can't use boring thoughtless mantras to answer every question.
Look kids, racism!

Boring.
RAID 15 absolutely protects against data loss.

Or, here's an idea: don't get involved with a misogynistic-and-violent-as-fuck movement, then try to claim moral superiority.
Making an argument from ethics can't be done from the low-road.

Your personal information is now essentially open source, thanks to facebook.
Alright, I went and prepared an article just for you, with cites.
My conclusion: don't use cayenne without a real medical doctor recommending it for you.
Look, you glued yourself to a movement forged in pure unadulterated misogyny and now whine about how people accuse you of being a misogynist.
It's like wearing a swastika and getting miffed about all the people who accuse you of being a racist, even though you totally don't mean it that way.
Distinguishing stupid unimaginative satire from stupid posts isn't as hard as Poe's law makes it out to be. Consider reading things twice.
Yes, and we're working on it. Next point?
Yeah, and that.

Okay, you're the third person to misunderstand
To rephrase:
The cost of solving this problem other ways is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
The cost of solving this problem by launching enough solar satellites is in the hundreds of trillions of dollars.
All I'm saying is that launching spacecraft is really expensive. Prohibitively.
As someone who sorta agrees with you, the usual claim that fossil fuel industries are subsidized tends to incorporate my above claim that they aren't paying the external costs of their products.
I don't like to be dishonest about these things.
And you miss the point.

Not. A. Good. Solution.
