Damn, that bait is so obvious, a newborn fish just looked at me like I was crazy for thinking it would fall for it.

The planet will be just fine. I'd wager that life will continue, the earth will still be filled with living creatures for a long time to come.

It just won't include us. Or most of the things we care about.

It's very much the "you're locked in here with me" moment.

It's been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn't go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.

And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.

Personally, I don't relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I'd rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being "arch villain from a cartoon" for my taste.

I'd really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately "be the change you want to see in the world" just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.

Not "I should stop using this website since it's not showing me what I want"

It's "this website should be shut down for not showing me what I want"

Typical conservative/authoritarian.

Can't let places that allow wrongthink to exist. The ministry of truth needs to sort this out.

I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

Damn, I've heard jokes about quebecios being snobby with their French but that seems excessive.

Which makes it all the more hilarious that the French people I know have joked about Quebec speaking "garbage French"

Ooh, yeah this is also a good one.

Any politician that speaks in favor of going to war is given front-line duty regardless of how they vote.

Again, if you're going to demand it, you're going to DO it. That means people who use their influence to sway others are also going to do it, even if they're cowards behind a voting booth.

Every time. They're well aware of my stance on war.

To go to war, every adult must vote yes or no. The yes vote is immediately signed up for military service, no exceptions given outside of life-threatening conditions. Everyone can do something even if it's just logistics.

No votes go about their business as usual.

And of course, there will be people who for one reason or another, legitimate or not, can't leave the general areas they live in. They can be national guard and show up to work the fields every day, ensuring wartime food supplies.

It may sound harsh, but unless you're willing to get down in the shit yourself, you have no business demanding someone else do it for you.

Can't wait for my in-laws to go on about how we NEED to invade them "for national security"

I use my cell data in my bedroom because it's more stable than my router connection. I wish I had control of the router, but it's not my house. I'd just move the router to a more centralized location instead of the farthest corner.

Back before I moved, I kept the router at one of the reduced power modes it had built in(can't remember the exact settings) since the room it sat in was the best room for signal distribution, you still got full signal anywhere you went.

Not great.

Last night my house flooded and I'm still cleaning up water and nasty shit. Everything smells like piss.

It triggered a fight over the fact that I still don't have a full time job despite months of looking, and we are stuck in this place until I find something better than 3rd party labor.

My vehicle is leaking gasoline while running and the shocks are fucked but I can't afford to fix it. My wife's vehicle needs transmission work.

Also... gestures wildly around the US

Depression is a bitch and I don't have insurance to go to a therapist or get my broken tooth fixed.

So yeah. Not great.

That's why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn't leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of people conspiracy nuts refer to them as "Chem trails" right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

I grew up around where he was born.

I may not be related by blood but it certainly rubbed off on me.

I feel the need for some good old fashioned southern BBQ.

I've gotten "I don't care" as a response too many times when I present facts and studies.

Education and understanding means fuckall when the person has no interest in understanding, especially when their entire worldview depends on them not understanding.

See, personally I assumed that's why it was in the "unethical" life pro tips, but the ethicallity of cutting off vulnerable minds to fascist propaganda rounds it up to "ethical", in my opinion.

I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it's in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

It's supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

I don't understand.

They like complaining and "being right" is more important to them than being helpful. Whether they are right or not is immaterial to the facts. Whatever the issue is they just need to be seen being right about it.

Incidentally that's a common trait among narcissists.
