Good, made a decision decades ago to have a vasectomy as there are way to many people in the world and misquoting Thoreau, what use a kid if no livable planet to raise them on ?
I always felt if the need to be a parent overwhelmed, I could adopt any number of abandoned kids.
I like kids but I'd fell way to guilty about having any. Not having them also let me retire at 35 and pursue my own interests, I'm now 58.
I'm at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I'd block for that.
I disagree with most people most of the time, I'm a stranger in a strange land
Maybe. I voted again the Republic (bit for The Voice) not because I'm a monarchist but the proposal for how it was to be setup was bullshit. Now we have to endure that shitball King visiting, so there is that.
Cop31 is a chance to redefine ourselves from climate laggard to global leade
No it isn't, such foolish, ney stupid thinking.
The entire COP process has been co-opted by fossil fuel interests and is now irrelevant , we're a massive exporter of fossil fuels and have zero interest in moving foward to zero emissons, voters will never tolerate not being able to fly and told they can't drive cars, stop owing meat eating pets etc
If we wanted to be "leaders" we'd not be holding the Olympics in Australia, not be spending billions expanding Brisbane, Melbourne and Hobart airports, we'd have abandoned all new road projects and only be building PT and AT infrastructure and be closing coal mines and gas extraction and redoing society for low energy dependence, while starting managed abandonment of coastlines and Northern Australia.
Just stick to denial and useless tokenism with a few solar panels and ecars like other developed countries and stop with the hypocrisy.
Boyd said: “There’s no place in the climate negotiations for fossil-fuel companies. There is no place in the plastic negotiations for plastic manufacturers. It just absolutely boggles my mind that anybody thinks they have a legitimate seat at the table.
“It has driven me crazy in the past six years that governments are just oblivious to history. We know that the tobacco industry lied through their teeth for decades. The lead industry did the same. The asbestos industry did the same. The plastics industry has done the same. The pesticide industry has done the same.”
I'd prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666
Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.
Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.
Not what u want but that's where I am and it works well.
The greatest voice in rock 'n roll of course
