Dear CEO,

I am flab r ghaster, esq, and I have been appointed by a group of activist shareholders to deal with the matter of your failure to allow this mysterious domain registry to post.

In order to resolve this issue, we will need your deposit of 600 danish kronor, sent to us in the form of google play gift cards. This deposit is to pay for a private investigator. If you do not cooperate and refuse to make the deposit, then we will proceed with the evidence we have and disciplinary action may occur, up to and including possible termination from your role with the company.

Please call our tech support representative at once with your decision.

Thank you, and have a blessed day. All things are possible through Christ

Just post!

Yeah the discourse tends to be very binary on this and everything else. I don't use my AC if I can avoid it because I prefer to get used to the heat, and let my body adjust, but there are limits on how how it can get where that's even feasible to do. We should probably use the AC as little as we can manage, because it uses energy to do and that leads to more CO2, but then people take that exhortation to reduce and say "what you want poor and sick and old people to die in the heat?" Which no, obviously not.

Most people's bodies can adjust to hotter temps than they think, and probably don't need as much cooling as they realize. And by staying in overcooled buildings all summer, it makes your body less adjusted to high heat when you do have to go out. So that's one side of things.

On the other side you have places that are simply not survivable anymore without climate control. So it's ridiculous to think anyone is in favor of banning AC.

The problem is when we invented AC, the design of our buildings changed. Older buildings used to be designed to keep themselves cooler passively and with air flow. More modern buildings don't have that because they just rely on air conditioning to keep the temperature in check, so what we need is better buildings and a rethinking of our infrastructure to minimize energy requirements especially as the climate heats up.

The two positions are only mutually exclusive if you're willfully obstinate.

extremely hoarsly good post

no, anime is bad

"oozing gender from every pore" is kind of a vibe though

nah keep 'em. if Enemies try to attack you you can shoot the barrels
