Okay so my friend is on vacation with her friend whose husband is a Vlado-style conspiracy nut

According to him, dead serious, "covfefe" is secret code for "Clinton Ordered Vince Foster Executed, Found Evidence."

Just imagine a world where some code exists to be able to extract that sentence from the word, that Twitter is the best way to send it, and most ridiculously, that Donald Trump gives a shit about Vince Foster's death.

If you see this theory float to the surface anytime soon, you heard it here first.

Every movie critic I've ever had the misfortune of reading or listening to is enormously arrogant. They expect every movie to be this insanely deep Oscar-winning piece. The quicker that job dies, the better.

You've been reading bad critics if that's the case.

The number of people calling for the destruction of people's jobs in this thread is a bit disturbing.

Alternatively i can start demanding compensation for sharing my opinions.

Criticism had a role in the pre internet world where getting information on a given topic was actually difficult and required someone to invest actual specialized effort into it.

That just isnt the world we live in anymore.

But then, as the success of sites like RottenTomatoes proves, people still don't WANT to actually look for that information. "Give me the aggregate!" they cry.

But then what would happen is that they would just pay off other people who do reviews like on Youtube. Wasn't there one YouTuber that was paid to give a glowing review about the new Ghostbusters?

This shift has already happened in gaming.

And if you think people who are actual journalists have poor journalistic ethics, that's nothing compared to people who AREN'T journalists but nevertheless end up playing that role.

If anyone watched the Bill Maher interview with Ben Sasse (the one where he called himself a house n***** for no reason), Sasse does a really great job of explaining how deals like the Paris agreement hurt the economy. It has less to do with job creation in the coal/gas sectors, and more that taxing carbon emissions increases the cost of energy and high energy costs will stymie new business growth. Let's say you wanted to open a factory, for example. If the overhead from your energy bill is too high, you may have to cut payroll to compensate for it. These things have ripple effects that wreck economic progress.

Don't we have green energy tax incentives to offset some of this?

I mean the logical extension of that argument is pure libertarianism, which I didn't think you were into. Sorry to kink shame.

If you believe climate change is as obviously dangerous as smoking, sure. I happen to believe that it's both inevitable and adaptable. Let the Earth do its thing.

Based on what evidence?

Most of which is the story of species becoming extinct due to climate disasters

Not much because the damage was done before we had full knowledge. But I don't want that to continue to happen!

I think humanity's capacity to curb global warming is insanely negligible. There is a reason why objective evaluations of non-profits always recommend against donating to environmental causes--there's simply not a lot we can do.

Also, let's assume this is true

Shouldn't our priority as a species be finding ways to adapt and/or settle on other worlds?

And not just "oh well our house is on fire, nothing we can do, so I'll go light some more candles."

Educate yourselves with dissenting opinions. The Left can benefit from it.

Read it

Dug through some of their cited sources for some of their claims, many of which are just other Heritage articles presenting poorly done math experiments and the ludicrous assertion that lowering the Earth's global temperature by 0.4C would be "trivial."

At the stage we are now, that's not fucking trivial. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of climate science to assert as such.
