If Bob is pissing in the sink, who the fuck cares if Larry The Sink Pisser is saying someone else is pissing in the sink too?

"what about all the sink pissing Larry has done?" is literally whataboutism.

"but what about..."

And in particular, the union went easy on them specifically because they didn't want lasting hard feelings.

So basically trying to please the shitbags never really stopped, it just had a brief couple years of being put on pause.

That's fair.

I mean, the reason I have a picture should be obvious, I'm literally going for visibility with a name like this...

But 9/10 times it's a generic name with a default or no picture.

They're being elitist with their headline, but this is why I personally think they're sort of right.. We will make the planet uninhabitable for modern society before the sane world can pool their resources.

I mean... Never by our current civilization.

With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.

So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don't think. But modern society will not survive.

Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won't.

The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they're delusional.

The meat grinder is working exactly as they want it to.

All those pesky social programs keep allowing the poors to escape it.

Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.

Just indirectly.

I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.

Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.

It's made me realize something.

Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.

Humans are gross and it's nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.

The temporal prime directive prohibits me from discussing this matter further.

Please direct all inquiries to starfleet command.

Oh, Keiko, how did you get out of the pattern buffer? I thought you were on bajor?

Best I can do is an AR-15 with a 3d printed bicycle mount.

Unfortunately that doesn't look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.

It's a good thing those torches are still burning after thousands of years, otherwise you would have needed a flashlight!

A judge would sign a search warrant because a cop pinky swears the target is a black ms13 Muslim antifa commiesocialmarxist.

"That cleaned up pretty nice, I think maybe I’ll keep that after all"

"tough shit, old man, you had your chance and you gave it away. $10 million and it's yours though."

Entirely depends on your relationship with your dad, though, but mine would just roll his eyes and say "fine I'll just get a new one." neither of us would in any way feel upset about it, and have a small chuckle while retelling it later.

i never said they did any thing wrong,

I wasn't trying to imply you did. I was agreeing with you.

In those days, in those distant days, in those nights, in those remote nights, in those years, in those distant years; in days of yore...

They really wanted to drive home just how old the tale is...

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don't use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I've met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I've also met some that couldn't figure out their 13ft tall trailer can't fit under a 12ft 8 bridge...

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.
