SCOTUS response to Mexico:

If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself.

Yeah, with adequate coordination, the gorillas should prevail in a 1v3. But I think they tend to fight more like individuals than as a pack.

Gorillas don’t have much for protection. The bear has 4" of fat “armor”. The gorillas won’t be able to bite or tear flesh.

My thinking is that if the bear is able to grab one of the gorillas, it will be disabled pretty much instantly. Unless the remaining gorilla(s) can press their momentary advantage while the bear is distracted, it’s just going to rip them apart one by one.

1v4, they might have enough clout to keep the bear immobilized long enough to kill it.

Polar bears are three times the size and weight of a silverback. They could likely prevail in a 1v2 or 1v3. 1v4 would be a fair fight.

Yeah, but you’d fuck Jar Jar, so…

Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.

Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.

Need to add shipping charges to the price…

Ah. Thanks for clarifying.

I must confess, I see no noteworthy comparison. I question their commitment and resolve.

What part of that is remotely comparable to the car dealership and gas station in Kenosha?

Their actions are effective at getting legislative action against protests and impeding travel. Their effects on stopping oil, however, have been somewhere between “completely ineffective” and “counterproductive”.

The reason people have a hard time believing their actions are effective is because their actions are not at all effective.

Their actions are damaging the cause. They are making it harder for environmental activism to be taken seriously. Now, actual activism has to fight not just the oil industry, but also everyone that JSO has pissed off.

Suspended sentence. She only spends 4 months in jail if she breaks the law again.

Well, no repercussions from the government. But the government is not the only entity capable of creating repercussions.

I heard about a car dealership and gas stations being lit on fire by protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin. When did JSO protesters do something similar?

I’m not sure how you managed to misunderstand, but by disruptions I was referring to precisely the kind of disruptions of the lives of ordinary people that - and I’m sure we can at least agree on this - they have quite successfully caused.

I agree, they’ve done a bangup job bringing attention to the ongoing fight against jaywalking.

Against oil, not so much.

JSO “martyrs” are for the cause of free speech, not against oil. JSO is distracting people from oil. JSO is diverting legislative attention away from oil.

I suggest you stop reading articles, and start looking at reality. The reality is that JSO has demonstrated they are as effective at “disrupting” the oil industry as the Westboro Baptist Church has been at “disrupting” homosexuality: not the fuck at all.

That’s what JSO is doing. thinks they are doing, despite all evidence to the contrary.

FTFY.

I’ll note that nobody in this thread has yet made a single comment promoting a specific political action against oil. Your last comment comes the closest, but even that doesn’t even qualify as a “concept of a plan”.

JSO isn’t inspiring people to talk about oil. They are inspiring people to talk about the limits of free speech, and the preservation of the right to travel. They’ve inspired legislators to act, just not in any way that would actually affect the oil industry. JSO has certainly accomplished something with their antics, just not anything that they’ve set out to do.

Again, direct action against the oil industry. Exploit it’s soft targets, raise the cost of oil, make alternatives relatively cheaper, and watch the problem disappear.
