The oil will ship regardless if there is a pipeline or not. It will ship via rail or truck. A pipeline is exceptionally more environmentally friendly then either rail or truck, let me tell you that is a fundamental truth.

And don’t even ASK what the environmental cost of producing that Tesla is...

It’s not the oil companies fault, it’s the construction companies fault. Part of commissioning a pipeline involves a hydrostatic test which must be held for upwards of 12 hours at a pressure that is greater then the operating pressure of the pipeline to ensure that it will not leak (Z662 Pipeline Code) judging by the…

The snowflakes have no sense of scale. Everything is a tragedy of epic proportions.

You’re freaking out about an average of 3 gallons a day? Jesus christ, the nearest gas station is worse than that.

84 gallons? Wow! We better get all those millions of gallons of oil back on thousands of trucks and on those highways, because it’s better for the environment or something.

So everyone realizes how miniscule 84 gallons is right? It was likely in a compound during commissioning and cleaned up immediately. Reported as per regulations, as a minor incident with no hazards. Everyone please freak out.

Kid: Sir, sir...you hit me with your funny bone.

Heh. You too.

I choose to punish people for their crimes in prison she knew what would happen when she leaked the documents.

No I think she was treated inhumanly while in prison which is wrong, that doesn’t change the fact that she deserves to be in prison

Exactly! She did the technological equivalent of throwing an enormous temper tantrum and tossing a bunch of papers in the air whilst stomping her feet.

Like I said, I never saw any evidence that she released anything for patriotic reasons. This wasn’t a case of “she came across something horrific and knew she had to do something” - she released thousands and thousands of documents without having a clue what was in most of them. Did some of those documents reveal the…

And the thing is you literally give up certain rights to serve in the military. People who have never served do not get this. Manning was bound by the UCMJ and convicted under it, and the UCMJ is not the same as civilian law. Manning was not railroaded or anything else, she made a choice and she has to live with the…

This is where I always get conflicted on the issue. Yes she highlighted some horrific stuff but there’s no proof that she actually knew what she was releasing. If it was a couple things she leaked I’d say yeah she did it for that reason, but she released over 700,000 documents. So there’s a good chance she didn’t even…

I take issue with her lawyer calling her a whistleblower. That’s not actually what she is. A whistleblower will expose a specific wrongdoing by an entity. What she did was just gather a bunch of information and dumped it into someone elses lap. She did not release only the information to the injustices she felt the US…

That has to be one of the odder fetishes I’ve ever heard of: transgender incarceration pardon reversal porn.

Agreed. She deserved fair and humane treatment while in prison. But she deserved prison. She is no hero, and I’ve never seen any compelling evidence that she released the information that she did for any reasons intended to actually benefit the American people.

Fuck her, wile I believe her treatment in prison was terrible she still deserves to be in there.
