This happened when video games became mainstream. To top that off, this is what happens when we have the "video games is an artform" narrative being pushed not just by these Marxists but pseudo-intellectual seeking validation for the hobby that's for teenage boys to enjoy in the first place, wanting to be recognized artists and art critics. This have to be stopped before it mestasize into something more sinister.

I was one of the dummies saying video games should be treated as art, even did a presentation on it in freshman year of college in a speech class. At least I included how they should stop doing things like censoring swastikas and included a swastika picture from Wolfenstein that got censored in the PC version in the powerpoint presentation. This was several years ago, probably would have gotten in trouble in today's climate for the swastika bit.

Art as humans understand it, and art as leftists understand it, are two completely different things.

To us art is the ultimate expression of someone's creative skill, something that we can objectively state is the superb work of a person in full control of their skills. It doesn't matter what a well made painting is meant to signify, or even if we are aware of its meaning, all that matters is that we can tell that the person that made the painting can paint well.

To leftists are is, just like everything else, a tool to spread their propaganda, and thus art only has as much value as its use for propaganda. The message matters, not the art itself. I remember one anon pointing out "Shoes on the Danube Bank", which is a sculpture of shoes. Now, these sculptures are of regular shoes, there is nothing visually pleasing about them, there's nothing especially skillful in their design or creation, they're just fucking sculptures of shoes, but to the leftists this is art because the message is muh Holocaust. Now, if you passed by these shoe sculptures without knowing a thing about the reason behind their existence you'd wonder why someone would have put shoes there. Unless you know the meaning behind this "art" it doesn't register as art to you.

You know, talking with old folks, most of them say it use to snow far more in the south when they where younger. I've looked at the Farmers almanac and the temps are roughly the same area today as it was 60 or 70 years ago. So I wonder, why the hell does it not snow as much as it did back in the day? I always had the opinion that climate change is real but not NEARLY as bad as scientist try to spin it. If you really want to stop it Nike China or India, no joke. Or use far less cattle which isn't realistic.

>Whatever happened to those hydrogen fuel cars?

They're not economical. The big advantage electric cars had was that the energy source used already existing electrical infrastructure for delivery. A hydrogen powered car would need an entirely new fueling infrastructure. And electric cars are only just barely starting to see widespread adoption even with it being low-hanging fruit technologically and all of it's other advantages. The R&D and production costs killed the idea, especially when crude oil is still so goddamned cheap by comparison. And beyond that - people still think of shit like the Hindenburg when talking about Hydrogen - so they'd have a hell of an uphill climb in terms of marketing. Making the things doesn't mean fuck-all if you can't move them on the market.

Hydrogen is kind of a dead end. By the time it's economically viable, we'll likely already have first generation fusion reactors online, and the whole endeavor is fucking moot.

If you seriously come to /v/, a board for video games, and get your opinions about the climate from completely ignorant anons who have no clue what they're talking about, then you're no better than Facebook moms who believe all the dumb pseudoscience "detox" and essential oil shit because they read it on their timeline.

These are the same people who want to ban civilians burning coal in their fires because they think it will make any difference at all.

99.99% of all pollution is industrial, but they never attack China or India.

>>16720733

The same goes for anything, people on the internet are fucking retarded and 8chan is no different. There's so much bullshit taken for fact here because it's "anti-kike" or whatever autistic reasoning like that.

Ever see the anons on /tv/ genuinely peddling flat Earth and weird NASA conspiracy theories?

>>16720741

Having talked to those flat Earthers, I can say with certainty they're trolling.

The NASA hoaxers are different though, they seem to think NASA is some all powerful organization with hundreds of billions of dollars in funding when they're actually severely underfunded and have very little authority outside of their own organization. All their arguments collapse when you mention JAXA, Roscosmos or the ESA. NASA doesn't even make the spacecraft that flies their astronauts to the ISS.

I like when they use the term "denier", they're acting like a religious cult hidden behind the "science".

The so-called "deniers" don't say that nothing is happening, they just want more proofs, other than "we looked at our data based on a 30-year-old model".

>and you'd have to fight oil and electic companies to get the public/politicians on your side

Keep in mind also that the only reason why Electric Vehicles are so cheap to operate now is because almost nobody is using them. If you converted even half the US vehicles (let alone any other countries like China which have even worse energy infrastructures) - then you'd see the price of electricity per kwh spike dramatically. And while oil is extremely multipurpose - it's nowhere near as ubiquitous as electricity. Especially to the average citizens everyday life. Gasoline shortages are bad enough, but losing electricity either due to rolling blackouts or simply because you can't afford to pay your bill is basically sending large segments of society back to the stone age.

Electric vehicles don't solve the problem, they just distribute it a bit. In fact, I'd say they're even worse since the primary source of electrical energy is coal powered - which is quite a bit more polluting than oil and natural gas, and neither of those two options require you to strip the tops off of mountains to extract them. We still need to find a viable alternate energy source.

Primary source of electrical power is not coal, at least not in the US. Its natural gas, coal is second.

It's the primary source worldwide, and a close second in the US. Overall, coal is far more plentiful, easier to transport/burn, and cheaper to extract. Natural Gas production has only significantly lowered in price over the last 20 years thanks to fracking (which has it's own environmental concerns), and overall it's a more volatile resource than coal. Coal power generation is expected to continue to decrease over the next 20 years, but this is more due to renewable portfolio standards in many states pushing it out due to environmental concerns. Economically, it's still the preferred choice as natural gas overall adds little value since it's close to 1:1 value in combined-cycle units according to the eia. Solar is slightly below a 1:1 value, and while the costs continue to decrease over time - it's not expected to be significantly profitable anytime soon. It costs more to produce solar industrially, currently, than it creates - and it's again largely pushed out of environmental concerns.

IIRC, the more profitable Solar farms are those using molten salt as energy storage, but you need rather specific environmental conditions for those to be viable. Hydroelectric and wind remain the most profitable alternative energy sources, but all of the renewables combined only account for a fraction of the USs energy needs. There has to be a backbone to provide a steady source high-capacity energy production. Natural Gas is serving that role right now, but I don't think it's a stable enough source to rely on for any sort of long-term solution. And it still produces about half of the CO2 emissions that modern coal plants do, which is a huge decrease yeah - but it's by no means "clean" energy, and as demand for energy increases and we rely on electricity for that energy, the higher production volume is going to eat into those reductions.

Nuclear really is the way to go until we can reach fusion, but good luck getting anybody to agree to have a nuclear plant in their back yard after they've binged an entire season of HBO's Chernobyl.
