True dat.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Years ago I wanted to have a phone with solar cells because it seemed like a neat idea and somewhat environmental. Now I read that there are probably no worse phones for the environment than those with solar cells on them, as they are ineffective and require a lot of energy to produce, resulting in a lot of greenhouse gases... :?

There used to be such an option? I really would like something like that... :o

You could buy one of those solar cell-powered phone chargers, which are more efficient and also useful for other mobile electronics.

But would the benefit offset the production costs? Modern phone chargers are really energy-efficient already...

I think we started off with nothing because Jolt sold all the rights to avatars, so only the mods had them. Eventually we got avatars.
