      you laught but things like the freedom of information act and congressional resolutions prove that this is literally how westerners – americans in particular – make decisions. lol

        I’m actually not laughing I do wish to choose to believe that human civilization can survive a carrington esque event

        iirc the lying machine said something about recent satellite launches maybe a couple years ago? to help set up an early warning system in case there’s a solar flare that’s Gonna Do That and iirc it said something like it would give government organizations and power operators at least a few minutes to turn off and disconnect critical equipment, plus other stuff

        based on the state of the Texas power grid it’s 100% cope but sometimes a little self delusion is necessary to stave off existential dread so I didn’t interrogate those claims

          i’m referring to the lying machine; it carries the same lies that westerners like to repeat to each other.

        No way! Or would you like another more emotional way of expressing a negation to a statement that might evoque less resistance?

        Final result: -No Way!
