How can we be sure anyone did anything or was anywhere? Even in cases where there were eye witnesses or DNA evidence, none of that is conclusive in the pure sense, it's just a testimony and occurrence. There's always a possibility that everyone is lying, the video evidence has been tampered with, the fingerprints were planted or perhaps the lab mistakenly identified them as so-and-sos when they were really someone else's. All we can do is determine based on the available knowledge and wisdom of the day how likely it was that a crime was committed based on the evidence.

With the case of OJ, there was a pattern of abusive behavior in his relationship with his ex wife, DNA evidence at the crime scene, and the murder itself based on the condition of the bodies of the deceased and the state of the crime scene suggested that the assailant committed an intensely violent act on Nicole and her friend, not characteristic of a botched robbery etc. Along with OJs testimony and his suspiciously timed travel arrangements, and in the absence of another theoretical perpetrator, there is a pretty compelling case against him.

You assume though that the effort required to implement new solar is the same as replacing failed components. The cells may fail but the other infrastructure may last longer - maybe much longer. Putting in a new 5,000 panel solar farm on a hillside is a lot of work, replacing 5,000 panels (maybe so percentage also of inverters and other transmission/storage equipment) over the course of 20-30 years is much less work, because surveying, design, implementation, bring-up and probably a fair bit of manufacturing does not need to be done again.

I think an increase in the militancy of the movement could be good, but this is just adventurism

If anyone claims to be a cop of any variety and instructs you to do something other than identify yourself, unless they are in the act of detaining you you should just say no. If they call you, hang up lol. Don't trust cops.

If someone calls you and instructs you to put cash into a shoebox and give it to them, don't fucking do it lol. Pretty simple shit.

The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

They cannot do it any other way. The vertical integration, the monopolization, the ridiculous amount of advertisement, it's all a race towards a shrinking profit. Carve out a smaller niche for advertising with targeted ads (just run your ads for the people who will actually buy your product!) but all you're doing is saturating an almost critically saturated market of advertisers. As the margins continue to shrink, my guess is you'll see a very shitty "free" tier and some very expensive memberships. The "enshittification" continues

I saw someone make this claim on twitter that "Some Chechens collaborated with the Nazi invasion, so Stalin implemented collective punishment and had the entire Chechen population, men women and children (500,000 people), deported to Kazakhstan, in a process that killed about 1/4 of them."

Are there any reliable sources that can verify/validate or refute this?
