As an American, seconded.

I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I’m convinced economics “professionals” have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. “I know it’s bullshit but they’re giving me money, so…”

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

crazy journalistic cowardice

That’s all we’ve been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn’t like, it’s even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don’t want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they “forget” these things, well so be it. It’s what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.

I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.

5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan

One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.

I am surrounded by morons.

“Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene”

… Probably Americans.

reads the very next line

Wow, I’m soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.

Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???

“genocide is okay as long as it’s the right people”

-someone insane

Can we just tow them both beyond the environment?

That’s literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that’s SUPER gung ho about the fact he’s got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you’re just praying he doesn’t catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).

If any of those things happen, you know you’re all toast. And it’s all mostly outside of your control.

I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I’m talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.

We’re all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.

nobody should have nuclear weapons.

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if the scientists working on the Manhattan project had all agreed it’s too much and intentionally sabotage every test.

Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.

It’s like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.

It’s just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.

Effective? Maybe.

Incredibly stupid? Yes.

Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.

The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.

It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)

38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.

10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

I genuinely think he’s got that “someone told me I’m not allowed to do something so now it’s my only thought and I will do it no matter what” mentality that 6 year Olds have.

Someone told him he’s not allowed to use nuclear weapons, so he wants nothing more than to have an excuse.

I’d happily climb any of the 1000ft “peaks” around me over telling everyone how much money I spent to be here while slowly moving in line up to the top of what is now basically a trash dump.

that feed us false hope

Boy do we have different bubbles…

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.

I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!
