# outer scaffold Baal

Baal (), or Baʿal (), was a title and honorific meaning 'owner' or 'lord' in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among people, it came to be applied to gods. Scholars previously associated the theonym with solar cults and with a variety of unrelated patron deities, but inscriptions have shown that...

Anyway I just thought it was interesting/cool, not to continue political talk 😭

tidal shore

Taiwan (politically) maintains that they're part of China out of fear of invasion and interference

that's my understanding at least

next crescent

Ah

#

Anyway, off the topic of politics I have been reading The Flower That Swallowed The Beast and it's been funny and weird in the beginning, but cute later on kekw

#

btw speaking of lord of mysteries... is there any way to see who did the dubbing or OP/ED song?
cuz i feel like some of them are not actual OG english ppl.. but like... CHN speaking english

ok nvm i gues.. only the singer

#

on anime list dint see no infiltrated spies

#

but the start of anime introduction of their levels ranking i still shit...
i needed to watch randomly a video to actually understand it properly

ionic schooner
#

isnt it jus a skilltree

limber seal
#

the way it was worded and present was confusing as fuck at start

#

ok iot took 8 episodes to find some actual ehhh mid writing..

so many red flags... way too on the nose

#

i mean, it sort of makes sense for the number to go down if you think of things like first, second, or third place in a competition

#

if the strength goes up, number goes down

#

strongest would be first place/sequence 1

limber seal
#

no u dont get it. i mnea my conmfusion...
i thought there are 22 lvls.. and al lstart by unlocking the first 9 nodes.. -> like u know where the first 9 in 22 on th etree will go will go but still at base lvl... then eventually u discover the rest 13 towards final lvl 22

next crescent
#

ohhh

dusty fable
next crescent
#

no it's more like there's 22 classes, each one has 9 levels you can achieve

limber seal

see ez pz

why they needed that confucius start?? A_HmmTao

a lot of comics and stories have a lot of stuff like that in it A_WheezeTao

limber seal
#

maybe chn version is a sort of verse.. and ENG location sux ballz

#

yah that mean shaving shit start

next crescent
#

there's always a chance it's that

#

since direct translations without editing can become clunky and overly-descriptive in english

#

and then make even less sense

limber seal
#

i mean the version i watch now also haves AI adapted captions after what AI heard form ENG and not actual subs lol

next crescent
#

but hey, it's also a mystery series so i guess it wants you to think right off the bat kekw

limber seal
#

i watch it in ENG until its time to read somthing screen then switch to another version that haves high quality curated FAN subs

next crescent
#

wait so you're watching it in english but using english subtitles ?

#

oh

limber seal
#

that yes still sub always no mater what

#

btw after anime ends whats the point where ppl need to start reading noel?

#

novel*

next crescent
#

i don't usually read the novel after watching the anime of stuff

limber seal
#

i feel like i wont get satisfied with all the baiting from anime i got, and it wil end not to my liking

next crescent
#

rip

#

yeah that can happen sometimes

#

hooks you at first, has a decent middle, then a disappointing ending

limber seal
#

the only problem...even now fresh after vision i still dont remember anyones name.. i have them classifed by "prophesion" or actions like -> "oh ok this is clearly MC.. oh this is the sexy dude.. ok this is Capitan ok this is secretary here.. that i secrtary nr3 etc.. teacher... bad dude nr1 and nr 2

next crescent
#

that's usually how i go about watching shows and reading manga and webcomics, i don't have the mental capacity to remember everyone's names so i just go off of their defining traits and professions kekw

limber seal
#

so reading text/books with names il be like ughhhh "umpa lumpa? goldilocks? etc... "biiiiiitch wtf is this swtf is that i dont know anyone of them!!! tell me their profesion or role in story! "

next crescent
#

that's a little different for me

#

usually a name is mentioned enough times i'll be able to keep up

#

it's shows and things that don't need to mention a name to keep track of who's who because you can physically see them

#

a character in a show points to another character in a group, and that person reacts- you don't need to hear the name to know who they're pointing to

but in text, you'd see something like "Person A was livid at the consequences now befalling him. He flails in anger and lands a finger pointing at Person G. She looks shocked and somewhat frightened by his actions, picking her out from the crowd of patrons surrounding him."

#

so on and so forth

#

"Susan." Jason, said, with a deep scowl now forming on his visage. "Exactly what do you have to say for yourself and the predicament we currently find ourselves in?!"
Susan covered her mouth, as if that would hide the emotions she was feeling. Why did he have to pick me out of everyone here to lay blame? She thought to herself.

#

like you'd see the names a ton to keep track of who's talking, who's gesturing, who is the current subject of the action that's taking place

in shows and comics, they don't need to do that nearly as much, you just see the person and you know "okay, so MC is mad at this dude for beating up his best friend, we've seen that guy beat up multiple people at this point because he's the tantamount bully of the series"

#

at least that's how i feel about it

#

dusty fable
#

Do you not find a bunch of these phrases extremely redundant?

next crescent

dusty fable
#

Ah, I thought you made a direct quote

limber seal

dusty fable
limber seal
#

well old english o rposh english is that also..

dusty fable
#

Indeed

#

Which doesn't make it good. Thankfully, most of that English was confined to correspondence between ppl

limber seal
#

btw the MC from story for someone who haves a magic eye on command.. uses it awfully rarely only when the plot commands it..
hell even if its so hard or costly to animate all those colors or even only show him moving his finger to his face to activate it -> at least throw a dialogeu line -> i used nothing extraordinary...

dusty fable
limber seal
#

cuz after ep 7 and especially ep 8 it really fuken bothers me now.. the lack of its use by MC.. cuz considering his character he should be using it each hour at least.. at the presence of each crime scene... he even showed how hi activate it for trivial peeks to see if ppl are sick in body or head etc before at start

#

the way it was explained at his start use its basically the same as for you to pull out your OLD laptop and search something on wiki...after taking a picture with its default camera
yes it its bother to pull it out wait for booting -> it may consume battery power and not have itn later when needed it but u clearly can open and close it at least a dozen of times during the day!

#

not saying each fucking minute or each hour but hey.. u know maybe in the crucial parts of the day u better boot up that old laptop with dying battery and check shit out!

dusty fable
#

It's like Witcher sense. You don't use it non-stop (or if you do, maybe you should play the game instead) but when necessary

#

The sight itself is not very useful (as was shown during the story where he used it and wasn't able to discern necessary info), which is why he uses it in combination with divination, which is way more powerful way to use it and you can get an actually relevant info and not be overwhelmed with infodump from the vision

limber seal
#

yah but no... i mean from very start it was shown how he can clearly se cruses or bad alignments etc... taking a peek at the dude that is very MOST WANTED FBI NR !.. in his usual frequented locations..or literally on the girl that have shis chield...

#

and then wtv else.. where we see he should at least confirm was used but "all normal" confirmations was never give to viewers

dusty fable
limber seal
#

look i already said above...

dusty fable
#

Mainly because he couldn't have known that he was too weak to see more

#

||So for him, she looked normal through his special vision, because his level was not high enough||

#

Plus, it was explained that he shouldn't look at powerful things directly (which he does anyway, but really shouldn't). They all run a risk of madness. So technically, you are risking a lot using vision on sus people

#

Closer to the end of the story you will see other demerits to this vision

#

Because even if you see something, you won't necessarily interpret it properly

#

Which is why divination is so good to use together with vision, it helps you interpret things properly

limber seal
dusty fable
limber seal
#

oh i see.. however i think the manga is bad.. was asking of actual text novels

dusty fable
#

The story didn't look too interesting to me. I like the lore and the system looks very well designed, but I just don't like the choice of his power. Both vision and divination is something not appealing to me in the stories. Way too much Deus Ex Machina

limber seal
#

ok... but.. and what alterative as powers you would liked more for the MC to take?

dusty fable
limber seal
#

either way from teh stand poit of why u prefered this with MC or that for that etc

dusty fable
#

Their captains power would be not too bad either

limber seal
#

ah jus that? my break down comes to 2 ways

  1. dude was focused at start how to get back to his world.. and then also had a lucky peek into how the system works from the literal founder of nations a mix of perosn of "Einstein+Genghis+Scorates" saying in journal "Braah trust me do this or this but not that or that"

  2. in world where al power comes from understanding the "gods" and each lvl up in auto basically already gives your physical body a boost up.....i think its better to be a "lawyer" in divinity matters and good philosophic head to read and write -> basically "demon contract"

#

so IMHO all he did was ok.. i just dint like the whole " magic" eye miss use in plot

dusty fable
limber seal
#

yah... but u on what base tho? cuz u also admitted u basically watched only 10% of story

dusty fable
#

That's just not appealing narration for me

dusty fable
#

(Kinda major spoiler, don't really open it if you haven't finished watching season 1)||plus I think the ED song spoiled the story a bit too much for me, so maybe that also was a reason the story wasn't too enticing||

limber seal
#

still watching.. but wth would u as author introduce another young character Named Kleney so similar to MC in appearance that is also called Klein...
imagine if the MC where not the MC..but someone else in that team.. ppl would be so confused lol

I remembered a commentary about Mob Psycho 100 and the essence of woman as a love gift for the mc's deeds

#

I think I have another example of it, it's Erased

#

The mc saves a childhood friend by being back into the past, but they didn't end up together when the mc finally saves her, watchers was furious

#

But if you actually watch it deeply, he doesn't actually like her from the beginning, he just wants to save her

I would say they did their best. I thought the ending was great. And considering that they had to put it all into 12 episodes I think they have outdone themselves

its was just an adhominem insult..i roast me harder each hour daily..

literally roasted my lazy idiocy in spoiling my self things 10 min earlies cuz i kept reading the tittles of this chapters when half of them spoil the content of the story

#

i even dint read ur chat on purpose cuz was expecting an WOT essaying on how pefet is erased rushed finale or sumthing..

and ended spoiling my self for erd time in 1h a chapter of "shit is going" down in this story of lord of mysteries

roast you harder? any more and you'll disintegrate

but how can you roast someone without resorting to ad-hominem?

limber seal

dont worry i cant take it

#

u roast their idea

#

or somthign they like or defend etc

#

attak the message not messager

#

wait i meant i CAN take it

tidal shore
#

example
"[X] years of life and yet you're here." <- implies the place where we are is actually bad, but it also insults your choices about where and how you spend your time

tidal shore
#

I can't really roast someone who doesn't fight back

#

I don't want to kill a child

tidal shore
#

yet you're the only person in the room 🤨

limber seal
#

see good one

tidal shore
limber seal
#

but u need to put it more in ambiguous way and remove your self form equation cuz it can retort to you

tidal shore
#

so the first roast was still good that way

#

I do agree with the ambiguous and "removing I" tho

#

have u seen that recent Max Fosh video?

limber seal
limber seal
tidal shore
#

can u

#

fix the grammar so that I can actually understand

#

or rather, what are you trying to say

#

(if I understand this right) yapping isn't inherently a social repellent

#

so the most it assumes is that the activity is botched in some way

limber seal
#

if i put that in an random AI text and they get you and u dont.. what says that about you? how more useless u become to the world?

tidal shore
#

it's like incessant talking

or maybe incoherent talking

so it's a good contrast with "being good at english"

lik e i said copy past it in grok or copilot and if they get it but u dont -> rethink your life

why not?

what?

#

we're just goofing around yk

#

anyway the point I disagree on is how Ena understands the term "yapping"

limber seal
tidal shore
#

but

#

why does it matter

#

they will understand if you say yapping, and it doesn't strictly relate to the act of speaking either

#

I love semantics

limber seal
#

u literally improve english by groing and yapping with other yapers in english

#

and the other context was roasting me butchering english daily in chat

tidal shore
limber seal
#

and u still dint say which part of video should be funy... unti now..

tidal shore
#

as examples:
if one doesn't strive to improve themselves, they won't grow (or the growth will be very slow)
if one only surrounds themselves with people who are as good, or worse than them, this will practically stop one's growth too

limber seal
#

wtv vot eu giv eit in scale of 1-10 il use that for a scale of 1-100
and then will roast this video so hard u will think why it dint deserve an even lower vote even on a hundred scale

tidal shore
#

ok imma iterate on that roast

#

actually i give up

#

you've outyapped me

#

good job

that video was like throwing a baby with a diaper full of WWE ring and expect the dude to seriously fight it

and who even still uses that annoying trumpets/vuvuzela sound in videos? what is this still pre covid world? vine is sitll live?

#

how does that dude feel when some unwashed uncultured swine still get 10 times more views weekly with a crew of just 1 person and not 20+ like his? not including the ppl spectating or performing even

#

also the jokes? do i even need to speak about the jokes? half of them are about the aspect and the other half are about ehmm "beta simp"

#

the moss posh limp dik roast i ever seen

just go to French restaurant and order some Escargots at that point

tidal shore

damn that's harsh

#

ur just being mean here, even though truthful

there's nothing playful about this, nothing creative

hmm u know this story had a good take but then the author forgot about it ..somehow.... cuz "plot is plotting" and dint find any good reason to make the MC fall in traps to get him from point A to point C.. so they need to butcher the logic in point B

#

and its sad cuz it was a good take considering the world building in the story

#

basically the MC could divinate or "see" into the future of his choice now would bring him harm later and made a short ritual in launching a coin and by asking a question it out is dangerous? a coin flip in air and falling on head/tail will mean confirmation or not
and after he got "GOT" a couple of times cuz of direct or indirect influence or even presence other more powerful things he need to fix that
And basically after rethinking and changing that short "ritual" if the coin will not be caught by his hand it means stronger/outsider" influence!!

only problem is author after a while stopped doing that final check up...and again sends MC inro trap

#

btw i dont speak about above story.. but the novel i read now

When you think about it
Deku’s mom could prolly be quite formidable as a Hero if she ends up ‘awakening’ her Quirk

next crescent
#

She has a quirk?

pearl nacelle
#

Yeah

#

She has telekinesis

#

But all she can do is lift small objects

next crescent
#

Ohhh

tidal shore
#

not that useless

#

imagine telekinesis cannon shooting needles

pearl nacelle
#

But she only used it in like the first episode or chapter very briefly when talking about her and Deku’s father’s quirks (he can breathe fire)

tidal shore
#

wait she USED it?

pearl nacelle
#

In the context of Deku being quirkless

tidal shore
#

I... was this also in the first bnha episode?

pearl nacelle
#

Very briefly on stationary iirc

#

When she was talking to a doctor

tidal shore
#

WTF

pearl nacelle
#

It’s when Deku was shook bc he was medically diagnosed as “Quirkless” 😭

tidal shore
#

ohhhhhh

#

I don't even rember

pearl nacelle
#

But yeah he barely uses it ever

#

So it’s not even a properly trained quirk

tidal shore
#

it's a bit of a shame though
he could've been Batman but they made him into Ichigo

pearl nacelle
#

Ehhhhh

On one hand I like the idea but like

#

Deku needs some insane Tibet monks to train him

#

😂

tidal shore
#

true

#

tibet monks solve all issues

pearl nacelle
#

Some MHA villains are crazy strong in ways that’d give even Batman a real hard time

#

Though tbf even Quirkless Deku is petty nuts too

tidal shore
#

would those MHA villains be able to beat Superman?

pearl nacelle
#

Dude cleared out an entire shore of junk solo in just several hours

tidal shore
#

im asking cuz supposedly Batman went toe to toe with him

pearl nacelle
tidal shore
#

well yeah? and Superman spun back time by flying around earth at the speed of light

pearl nacelle
#

Besides Batman apparently never fights a Superman that’s actually in full control or hasn’t been nerfed in some way prior

tidal shore
#

fair enough

pearl nacelle
#

Even in the dark knight returns, one of Batman’s most popular stories

Supes literally took a nuke to the face he still hadn’t fully recovered from by the time he faced off with Bruce I hear

#

And even then that’s elseworlds stuff

tidal shore
#

btw I haven't watched anything past the TOURNAMENT ARC so if ur referencing something just letting you know

pearl nacelle
#

But yeah

#

If Deku had gone the Quirkless hero way

#

It’d be a much much different series entirely

tidal shore
#

true

pearl nacelle
#

Since the kid had zero connections or resources to match any of the poweful Quirk users

#

The most impressive raw Quirkless feat is prolly from Mirio right after he lost Permeation

#

He still threw hands with Overhaul to defend Eri before Deku could arrive

#

But he still sustained considerable damage too

tidal shore
#

nice\

pearl nacelle
#

😭

#

Although tbf

Stain is worth mentioning too since like, his Quirk is super conditional

And he has to heavily compensate with “peak human” physical feats until he meets said conditions

limber seal
#

Quirk.. heh damn managed to forget that anime used wierd naming for super powers
What other anime stories we got where the author refuses to call them normally superpowers also?

pearl nacelle
#

It’s not like that many Western IPs are that much different tbf

#

Like The Boys refers to enhanced folks as “Supes”

#

And marvel has like

Several types of terms to categorize super powered individuals as well

tho i dint meant their names but the power

also btw.. whats the deal of marvel? why certain ppl are called mutants with whole X-man but not others?

There is a reason why in p3 persona activates by shooting yourself

I guess she would calm down a bit after everyone figures out their roles in the team. For now she and other teammates are uncertain, how this team gonna work and who's gonna lead. So they will spend first 3-4 story arcs figuring that out

topaz linden
#

Eh, depends on the idol/agency. There's a wide range in how much freedom individual idols have across the industry. Smaller idols having less freedom, bigger idols having a bit more.

Hololive tends to be more on the less restrictive-side (tho there is still some degree of pressure), which is part of why they've had far less drama than other agencies.

to the viewers who pay prime
to voice acting in general
and to the amazing original work

im sorry, ai voice acting do not have the capacity to deliver half of the lines in this show

limber seal

but.. the OG is the JP workers.. not ENG dubbers... or localization teams

it will be a significantly worse product than the source, and i feel sorry for anybody who'd have their view of this show tainted by this

if it will be worse and the the better "OG humans" wont produce a highly better product.. do u think ppl will care?

i understand recreational outrage... and morale donquishoting against wind mils.. but ehh reality is reality

im not arguing against it for the moral merits

i just think the product will be shit because i know what AI voice acting sounds like

why... are u repeating what i said already?

i argue that it matters, you argue that it doesn't

which is a shame because vinland saga is great

my headcanon is that the vast majority of casual enjoyers will choose the dub as is anyway

next crescent
#

^

tidal shore
#

personally I can't stomach it 99% of the time which makes me dub-racist

next crescent
#

A lot of people coming into anime might also choose English dub since it is easier to understand (for anyone who doesn't want to listen to Japanese as a new anime enjoyer), and the quality of the dubs has increased dramatically over the years so it's not like you're listening to the shittiest VA work ever

#

Whereas a lot of people who've watched anime for years watched the subbed version years ago because they either wanted to feel superior, wanted to "learn" the language through anime (otakus), or because the English dub (or whichever language they would listen to) was ass kekw

#

I being one from the latter group

tidal shore
#

if we want to talk about the practical "which is better", then specific criteria would have to be defined, but I figure all potential criteria would be gapped by "can you understand what you're watching/looking at/hearing?"

next crescent
#

I just go with it's all personal preference and your circumstances with it

tidal shore
#

true and yea also true

next crescent
#

But either way, AI voice acting sucks and I really don't want that to be the new norm

#

It's not even like they're saving money, voice actors get paid essentially pennies for their work and they make it sound so good 😭

tidal shore
#

also true...

#

I don't want to lose out on genuine human performance (same reason I watch sub even for languages I can't understand)

#

not to say dub isn't genuine human performance, but ykwim

#

a dub will typically be losing things in translation (even if I don't understand it)
and I don't wanna hear the same 6 voices I heard in Persona 4 😭

#

ok atp I will just admit I have a perverted passion for "the original"

#

caught redhanded

#

this is beyond dub racism now i think, this is sub-supremacism 😭

next crescent
#

Yeah that's fair

#

Persona 4 and like the one guy who voiced everyone in Dragonball or whatever

next crescent
#

Feeling superior

tidal shore
#

naurrrr

next crescent
#

Fucking classist smh

tidal shore
#

I'm not feeling superior from this I just pursue what makes me feel good A_NotLikeHu

#

promise promise

next crescent
#

Nah that's fair lol

#

But that's what I was also saying, personal preferences and the circumstances that come with it

tidal shore
#

about this AI VA thing, is this only for English dub?

#

or are Japanese also

next crescent
#

So far it's only English, idk if Japan will do anything about it

#

But there's plenty ofJP voice actors who are worried they'll lose their jobs too

tidal shore
#

seeing how YouTube already implemented AI dubbing (and how it makes my ears bleed whenever my lil sis watches MrBeast), not surprising

next crescent
#

Hoyoverse at least has a contract that all voice actors sign giving them basic protections against AI voices and recreations of their voices in place of them

#

But not every company has those protections

tidal shore
#

I see

tidal shore
#

it's likely that the biggest companies will be spearheading the application of it

next crescent
#

There's one specific AI voice I am okay with but I'd hate to watch a whole show with just that voice yk

next crescent
#

Because there's nothing stopping Netflix or Amazon prime lmao

tidal shore
#

the practical application of it*

next crescent
#

And Crunchyroll being.. Crunchyroll

tidal shore
#

since they have the means, and also, it's not good cuz the bigger the company the larger the consequences

next crescent
#

Yeah, but also more they can shove under the rug and get away with

tidal shore
#

yea like Netflix and Amazon

#

what happened to the AI law in the US?

#

I'm pretty sure they had something against selling products made with AI

next crescent
#

I feel like that's something that could happen as well, instead of companies feeling pressured to not use AI

next crescent
#

The department that would be dealing with scams like AI scams has been shut down for the most part and working at like 10% capacity DotSob

#

Oh hey, apparently that ended

#

Like, really recently

tidal shore
next crescent
#

Probably

#

But I also saw a video somewhat recently saying it's all fun and games with saving money until AI gets so expensive to run that companies will have to pay insane subscriptions to use it and then it'll be more expensive than the artists they used to hire lol

tidal shore
#

oh

next crescent
#

Because AI generation takes a shit ton of energy and resources to function

tidal shore
#

yea you're right

#

the cost per prompt is already like super higher than a single google query

#

but

#

it could still be a money saver (human labour is expensive)
if they setup private AI centers just for this

next crescent
#

Even Google has an AI generation function to make your images look different based on various styles and you're allotted 10 image generations every 2 days unless you pay for a subscription to just their AI image generation service lmao

next crescent
tidal shore
#

well yeah

next crescent
#

And that it's not like animators and voice actors domestic make a ton of money, they need several jobs and work insane overtime to stay afloat

tidal shore
#

hm

next crescent
#

Those AI centers would need insane fucking money coming in to be able to afford everything it takes to run smoothly 😭

#

Strictly because they take so much to function

#

Though idk how much of that is true for AI voices

#

I feel like it's just similar to Google's voice thingy to read messages for you

#

Tts?

tidal shore
#

this is where it popped off

#

yea I'm wondering how much do you really need to run it natively

#

can phones run the voice natively?

#

it's not that much power

next crescent
#

But yeah I think I've heard of this

#

Was this the model someone used to fake important messages to the public?

#

Or whatever it was

#

I think I'm tired, my memory is so fuzzy

tidal shore
#

no clue

#

it's just the moment that made a very deep impression on me

next crescent
#

OH GOD I FOUND IT AND IT WAS MORE MORBID THAN I THOUGHT

#

It wasn't public messages, it was a company that takes audio clips from ||dead relatives of people and makes them say whatever the family wants and to hold conversation with them using AI voice cloning||

#

Which is like, super unhealthy for if you're trying to move on

tidal shore
#

ohhh now this sounds familiar

next crescent
#

I tried googling it specifically but there's apparently several companies that are doing it now

#

It was 2wai

tidal shore
#

as an extension of that, you also gotta be careful how you respond to scam calls

#

they could clone your voice pretty quickly

next crescent
#

They take like a 5 minute sample of the voice or smth and pictures of the deceased and then recreate them into a fully animated AI avatar with a replication of that person's voice you can talk to through your phone 😭

tidal shore
#

WTF

#

this is even more vile

next crescent
#

But that's why those protections are important for voice actors, and why for years now there's been contention over whether or not someone can have copyrights over their own voice (in the music and voice industry) to protect them from companies just... Doing that and replacing the voice actor entirely

There is no reason for AI to get significantly more expensive. Energy gets cheaper, AI computation gets much cheaper (expected to get 10x more cheap in the next 3-5 years)

next crescent
#

Idk, energy prices feel like they've been on the rise in the last like 50 years y'know

tidal shore
#

guess who caused this

dusty fable
next crescent
#

And it takes so much electricity and water and other things to keep running, and the more it gets used the more expensive it is for the company itself

tidal shore
next crescent
dusty fable
#

it used to cost 100 bucks. And not today inflated bucks

tidal shore
#

yea cuz the world suibsidizes oil by paying out of pocket like 2 trillions a year

next crescent
#

Until we run low on oil A_smolhutao

tidal shore
#

it's always been subsidized

dusty fable
#

and millions of oil jobs will go puff

tidal shore
#

the ironic thing is that electricity would be cheaper if the oil companies didn't have a stranglehold on the industry

#

an easy solution is to offer social aid and training courses for oil workers

#

as the industry shifts over a period of 5 to 10 years

#

but that's literally impossible beceause of how much conflict there is

#

and the corruption

dusty fable
tidal shore
#

it's not a monopoly though?
