I have met so many people from other cultures who are basically like "okay, so you Americans have these guys who put on ghostly wizard robes to ritualistically kill marginalized people while burning the holy cross, so like, those must be these 'satanists' your christian senators are mad about right?...r...right?"

Meanwhile the only ones left are government funded

[bogleech]

The SPLC funded informants and infiltrators to successfully counter klan activities for decades and bring down entire branches of it. This was deliberately spun as just "funding the klan" by conservatives who have always been at odds with the SPLC for their own bent ideological reasons or because a lot of the GOP are very, very obviously klan members themselves, dude.

If you ever, and I mean EVER think that you fucked something up royally, remember that the organizers of the 1904 Olympic marathon:

- Had zero stations for water on the 26 mile (42 km) course

- Accidentally gave North American competitor Tom Hicks a cocktail made of egg whites, brandy, and actual fucking rat poison

- Had a guy come into the race late wearing a beret and cutoff slacks, sneak into an apple orchard during the race because no food had been given to him for 40 hours, eat rotten apples, projectile vomit onto the track, fall asleep for hours, and finish in fourth place OVERALL because most of the other runners collapsed of exhaustion or injuries

- Conducted the race on a dusty road, which caused so much dust to be kicked into the air that an American runner somehow inhaled enough to tear his STOMACH LINING open

- Accidentally released feral dogs onto the track

- Fucked the other competitors up SO BADLY that Tom Hicks—the guy who ate RAT POISON and was HALLUCINATING the entire run—came in first place

#genuinely: this is what further research into the famous 'marshmallow test' showed#it wasn't that kids who were able to delay gratification were more likely to be successful later on#due to intrinsic qualities#it was that kids who had a stable upbringing were more likely to be successful#and ALSO: those kids had trust that their caregivers would keep promises#which is WHY they were willing to give up one marshmallow now for the promise of two marshmallows later#kids who did NOT have trustworthy caregivers#or who were in a fundamentally unstable situation#DID NOT have that trust so they wanted their one marshmallow NOW#same deal here i think#it's not that Gen Z is bratty#it's that they have no trust in the system and no faith that promises will be fulfilled#and frankly i do not blame them -@cicerfics

Rooftop Solar Gave Power to Pakistan When Fossil Fuels Failed– it’s Now Called a Boom

"Pakistan serves as a great case study as to how renewables can provide a hedge against dependence on fossil fuels.”

Rooftop solar on private homes has taken off in Pakistan at an unprecedented rate. Huge swings in energy prices and an unreliable grid, combined with plunging solar panel prices, made the investment of rooftop solar an easy choice.

There are now so many rooftop solar panels in Pakistan that they make up 1/5th of the country's total energy supply--all just from regular families installing them on their own homes.
