archery doesn’t carry a racist history and waste giant tracts of land. they can putt-putt or get fucked.

Just look at Brazil’s winter - https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/08/25/winter-heatwave-another-south-american-country-is-sweltering-in-record-temperatures

Four state capitals recorded the year’s highest temperature on Wednesday. Cuiabá, in central-western Brazil, the highs reached 41.8°C. Residents in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil’s two most populous cities, were also hit by the heatwave. In Rio, temperatures reached 38.7°C on Thursday - the city’s second hottest day of 2023.

what’s going to happen in summer? it’s hard not to be hopeless. when people are driving their fucking gas guzzling coal rollers around like nbd going to walmart fuck the libs…

we could put all the world on renewable energy and I still suspect the assholes will demand their feedumb to pollute the already wrecked atmosphere.

, but I don’t think the average human being can draw the distinction yet

considering the massive heat domes spread worldwide, I suspect the average human has been more impacted than you have.

Brazil had a scorcher of a winter. Antarctica is falling apart much faster than anyone predicted.

Luckily none of us will be around to see that unless some sort of miraculous life extension technology becomes available.

I dunno mate… antarctica is collapsing much faster than anyone anticipated. Brazil’s winter was a scorcher.

Canada’s on fire. Tropical storms are hitting LA. sadlol… I suspect we might be around to see even worse.

I think there’s a concerted effort to keep the scale of how bad things are now, and how exceptionally shitty they’re going to be much sooner than anyone thought - because the frog won’t jump out of a slowly boiling pot. And by the time we know it’s fucked, we’ll be hiding from the sun in bunkers or dead from never ending 50c+ heat waves.

and with fanboy shitbirds like you to stick up for them, perhaps the world isn’t worth saving anyway.

also - my trapper keepers are way too thick for most briefcases.

hell, my 3 ring binder full of overhead transparencies is too big for a briefcase.

Car dealerships in the US are whining that they can’t move the expensive EV’s car makers are producing. Meanwhile the world is burning. We need a crash program to replace every damned gas powered vehicle needed, while eliminating hundreds of thousands completely off the road where possible. Cities should have sidewalks, bikepaths, and mass rail transit everywhere in the US.

If we don’t do it, we’re pissing in the wind.

edit: same with renewable generation - no more nimby bullshit. build it all. no one’s view is worth another summer like this.

I often wonder, before society collapses, if the corporations who hid this shit for 45 years will ever face the consequences of their lies. Not really calling for pitchforks but, well, it’s the ecosystem… it’s our civilization they profited on destroying, and they did so gleefully and the profits were obscene. If there was ever a time to get the torches and pitchforks out…?

Recruiters will be all over the entire spectrum. For every 2 uber-nerdy signal corps goobs, we need 4 light wheel mechanics, 3 light infantrymen, 12 combat service/support roles, 4 POL types, 3 french hens, about 3/4ths of a chemical-corps-tester-er-tech, the list goes on and on.

This is a good point - recruiters have zero interest in wasting their time on people who are already decided / have expressed their disagreement. The problem is that recruiting is a career stop for so many enlisted folk and not everyone follows the rules / is perceptive enough to back off given obvious and literal cues.

And if you don’t end up in recruiting, you’ll often end up instructing @ basic training lol… life is cruel.

Ends every evening wondering why he’s alone, why people hate him, and when he’s going to get sent to Romanian prison again.

Yup. Didn’t touch anything until after I ETS’d. Except tobacco and booze, which were basically… subsidized? Yeah, heavily subsidized by the exchange stores in the 90s. A carton of marlboros was $10 lol. I literally remember people bitching and moaning when it went up a dollar shortly before I left the army. Surreal.

considering how much French society despises US policy, I’m kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.

Talk to your friends about freebasing marijuana. Otherwise you’ll identify their bodies at the morgue.

mmmMMmmmm MMM! I do love me some lazer lettuce, that jazz cabbage doobee do it every time

xfinity wasn’t an acquisition, it was just comcast rebranding trying to separate itself from the stank of comcast. It did occur during a time of acquisitions of other cable networks, but that’s been true of comcast for 15ish years. both domains still work for customers.
