If you want a revolution, then you need to get their hands bloody, and people are not willing to do that. I don't blame them I'm not willing to either.

No, it will likely get type 2 and kidney or liver issues and then die a painful and avoidable death.

We have millions of people who care, and even if every single one of us produced a carbon neutral footprint(which isn't possible for everyone) it still wouldn't stop what's coming at this point. It would slow it down but not stop it because 100 companies are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gasses, and only 25 companies and state owned orgs are responsible for over 50% of the global industrial emissions. Without stopping them, you are throwing an icecube on a forest fire.

Hell, the top 1% of co2 producers produce 1000 times more than the bottom 1% which is you and me.

Right, that worked back in the day but it doesn't work now because Republicans, conservatives, and people who own those people don't care about saving the planet and don't care about real actual science anymore. They will flatbout refuse to listen to facts, reason, and logic, so it's impossible to have actual real conversations with them. If that stuff still worked, then we would already be working on trying to reverse what is happening, and we would be passing laws and issuing fines in the billions to companies like Exxon and BP.

Think about it. If we had the hole in the ozone right now instead of in the 80s there is absolutely no fucking way they would have passed the laws to fix it and the same goes for all the acid rain we had. If you think that stuff works, then please sell me whatever copium you have cuz christ could I use some.

And that still won't do shit when a company like ExxonMobil produces more pollution in a single year than thousands of people will in an entire lifetime. Don't sit here and act like anything I do will make a difference just because it makes you feel better.

Good lawyers aren't cheap, and in the grand scheme of things are well worth the money when they win.

Really wish there was a way to block this kind of stuff from all my feeds. I already know this, and there is nothing I can do to stop it from happening, so I really don't want to see it.

Absolutely! It really helped me and my wife learn about how to communicate about jealousy and how to reassure each other. Well, it mainly helped me with my wife's issues as my wife says she doesn't want any other partners but encouraged me to find other playmates.

I like my local pizza place, but it's a fairly large brand now. They have 99 locations, so idk if it is even considered local anymore.

That is a very, very good book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is considering an open or poly relationship.

I'd say prison and thearpy would be better. Those hospitals they send people to are in a lot of cases worse than prison because the people there have even less rights and there is even less oversight.

Look, I want to love this guy, but this is sadly suspicious.

My vet gave me gabapentin for one of my cats because she gets so stressed out going to the vet. Sadly, she has go regularly because of her issues.

The original run of the show was the best, and it should have just stopped there. It's all been very downhill from there. I watched the show so many times that I even had the DVD commentary memorized. This is one of the only hills I am willing to die on.

They need to do the Republic Commando novels and they need to finally make the Starwars 1313 game. I will never not be salty about that.

That kid did the absolute best he could with what he was given, and I feel very bad for him and the guy who played jarjar. They have both had some very serious issues because of the shitty starwars fans.

one of our team members showed me a forever mouse with the comparison to a watch. This is a nice watch, not a super expensive watch, but I’m not planning to throw that watch away ever.

Then, almost immediately starts talking about Rolex watches as if they are not expensive. This woman is very out of touch with reality like all CEOs.

Fire is pretty great and I use it all the time.

This seems more like that energy gel some people eat before a run.

Most of my cats don't seem to have a strong opinion of belly rubs half the time. They just kind of look at me like "hey do you mind not doing that?" and then walking away or just letting it happen.
