Definitely, but we are talking about the US here, we are conditioned from a young age to become aroused by the imagery of disposable cheap things being used once and then thrown away.

To the US psyche, tacky disposable things are an expression of our superiority and power since we can choose in all of our material wealth to simply toss away the things around us and get new ones as much as we like, for any reason.

A fancy porcelain plate on the otherhand to the US psyche is a symbol of weakness, of an inability to break with the past, of a fragility and fear that there is something beautiful that could be broken that cannot be easily replaced and that must be treated with respect. This is seen as how savages think and act by USians, not consciously necessarily but our worldview was shaped this way for a reason.

Move Fast And Break Things

Do you ever think about how it would be the most natural thing in the world for US "conservatives" to treat the primary concern for conservation as the health of the natural landscapes around us? You have to ask yourself why under the extremophile environment of US society that this isn't even considered an intellectual incongruity most of the time?

Are Boeing whistle blowers going to start mysteriously (*coincidently) passing away again until this blows over?

I agree, I think part of the subconcious luxury is having lots of stuff used and wasted on you, on the otherhand though cooking food at a central canteen is always going to be more efficient and less wasteful than everyone individually cooking at home so shrugs when I go out I just only support local restaurants and try to avoid the ones that are blatantly wasteful.

It is hilarious to see Microsoft put so much effort into proving to bystanders that what Valve did was necessary for the industry.

I have been playing a ton of Operation Harsh Doorstop, flying the helicopters is just such a rush.

you can always start now but I get you

Wrong community, please repost to the community for Onion articles.

totalitarian fascist regime?

I am not familiar with that kind of NFT

I grew up in a place with pretty much only volunteer fire departments and they definitely had a lot of very passionate irish americans in them.

The fire departments were the emergency responders I trusted there, not the police (HELL no), not the ambulance that might bankrupt a friend in a medical emergency and I wouldn't even realize I was dooming my friend to a life of medical debt as an EMT smiled at me and said everything was ok....

No it was the Volunteer Fire Department that showed up to help move my dying father to an ambulance who couldn't move easily. Yeah the ambulance showed up to but the ambulance people basically stood to the side as a bunch of young volunteer kids who were bored and looking for something to give them identity helped save my dads life.

So yeah, I think this is a good dig, but damn if your volunteer fire departments are like the ones where I grew up, well I am not complaining lol.

Volunteer firefighters show up to an emergency and help, police and ambulances show up with paperwork, rules and stipulations for whether they will or won't help. Further, the consequences for asking for Police or Emergency Medical Services may not be become clear until it is toooo late for you to avoid them, which is NOT how Volunteer Fire Departments work. I briefly did volunteer fire fighter training (I didn't end up fitting in) and it was fascinating talking to the various people in it about their philosophy for emergency calls, yes they are trained specifically in firefighting and rescuing people from fires... but they are volunteer helpers who are physically fit so they would get called for all kinds of random emergencies and they would never say "wellllll this doesn't fall under the categories of what our job is, so tough luck!", they would get in the fucking firetruck, turn the lights on and go in a way an ambulance crew or police officer never would in a million years.

I am fairly positive any one of those irish american volunteer fire department "bros" would cast off whatever rule they were supposed to follow to save someones life, no questions asked, it was how they stoked their ego being like that and yeah it could be annoying but it was legitimate, unquestionably.

Yeah that is only what you see on the surface, they are digging tunnels underneath every hospital in LA to protect themselves from ICE strikes and use sick people as a shield.

Wait which propaganda topic are we on again I am confused.

lol y'all still want to buy fighter jets from a rogue state?

and they will continue to even as the instruments they bore into the heart of this country become covered in the blood of innocent defenseless people they are erasing at a supersonic clip...

lol

This is a real threat of serious violence with a history of it actually being done, how could it be interpreted otherwise?

This is some of the worst news I have heard in my life and that is a sober read of it I think.

I fear this will work.

Yea I know ughh

This is it, we are here folks, we need mass mobilization to the streets.

lol we are cooked
