He went up to some young girls, fondled himself, and asked if they liked his bathing suit, IIRC. When they tried to walk off, he followed them.

This guy reminds me of the brony/furry who used to work in my building. Guy had shoulder length hair that somehow managed to be both frizzy and greasy at the same time. He was in jus mid 20's and had acne that would've been bad for a teenager and his face had a pronounced oily sheen. He would wear the same clothes for a week straight. He had a goatee that was so strange looking that it looked like he bought it at a novelty store.

But the worst part was the smell. There may have been mildew straight up growing on his body. You always knew he was around because the motherfucker had a smell radius of about 30 feet. The guys on his area gave him some do nothing job well clear of his direct coworkers.

It's harder than you'd think to kick someone out of the military just for being retarded. Sometime you just gotta stick them in a dark corner and keep them busy enough that they can't gently caress anything up too badly.

I've found a group on Facebook called "gently caress Liberals" that's practically an unlimited fountain of AUG. Even TPC at least tried to dress it up and claim not to be racist. These aren't by far the worst posts on there, but a lot of them end up reported/deleted by folks trolling the site.

The walls are buzzing. I know this because I have a magnet implanted in my hand and whenever I reach near an outlet I can feel them. I can feel fortresses of industry miles away burning prehistoric hydrocarbons by the megaton. I can feel the searing pain and loss of consciousness from when I was shocked by exposed house wiring as a boy. I can feel the deep cut of the power bill when I was living near the poverty line. I can feel the cold uncertainty of the first time the power went out due to a storm when I was a child. How long before the delicate veil of civilization turns to savagery with no light nor heat nor refrigeration?
.
.

Kitchens are expensive and dirty. This home manufacturing center has been by far the most liberating to eliminate. They are the greediest consumers of power, water, and labor and produce the most noise and garbage of any room. Moreover, they can be made totally unnecessary with a few practical life hacks.

First, I never cook. I am all for self reliance but repeating the same labor over and over for the sake of existence is the realm of robots. I utilize soylent only at home and go out to eat when craving company or flavor. This eliminates a panoply of expensive tools and rotting ingredients I would need to spend an unconscionable amount of time sourcing, preparing, and cleaning. It also gives me an incentive to explore the city’s fine restaurants and ask friends out to eat. In fact, I find soylent has made me more social when it comes to food. I can spend the money I saved from groceries and take out to buy a friend lunch or dinner. When soylent 2.0 reached private beta, I was thrilled to learn that thanks to aseptic processing the product does not require refrigeration, and will still keep its nutrition for at least a year. It tastes better cold but I think it’s fine warm. Getting rid of my fridge was one of the greatest days of my life. Nevermore will I listen to that drat compressor moan.

I have not set foot in a grocery store in years. Nevermore will I bumble through endless confusing aisles like a pack-donkey searching for feed while the smell of rotting flesh fills my nostrils and fluorescent lights sear my eyeballs and sappy love songs torture my ears. Grocery shopping is a multisensory living nightmare. There are services that will make someone else do it for me but I cannot in good conscience force a fellow soul through this gauntlet.

I buy my staple food online like a civilized person. It takes me mere seconds to order enough soylent for a month, and version 2.0 does not require any preparation, so I got rid of my noisy blender. At less than $2.50 / meal it also saves me loads of cash, and I appreciate the use of more soy and less rice, finally bringing a nutritionally optimal PDCAAS score of 1.0 while improving the taste and especially texture. I also think it’s crazy cool that some of the ingredients are made by algae rather than water-guzzling pesticide-spraying farms.

I...I don't even know where to start with that kitchen rant.

Oh, and then there's this choice sentance:

quote:

Public transportation is leagues more efficient and I love trains.

God drat, it just keeps getting better:

quote:

I enjoy doing laundry about as much as doing dishes. I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me. Shipping is a problem. I wish container ships had nuclear engines but it’s still much more efficient and convenient than retail. Thanks to synthetic fabrics it takes less water to make my clothes than it would to wash them, and I donate my used garments

He seriously just buys new clothes rather than wash them? But then he goes on to say:

quote:

For now a few new t shirts and jeans per month is not very offensive. I certainly buy less clothing overall than a typical consumer.

Only a few per month? So he wears his clothes like 5-6 times each it would seem, without any washing?

How much does cooking a meal from scratch usually cost in the states that makes two fiddy a big saving? Here in the UK I can make food that doesn't look like a glass full of jizz much cheaper, and once I cook a big batch I can just toss some in the freezer and reheat it in a microwave.

I actually did some quick estimating with my dinner last night, and it came out to almost exactly $2.50. It was about $10 total, but it was dinner for my GF and I with enough leftovers for lunch for both of us, and at least one more meal's worth, too, so actually closer to like $2 per meal. Though I suppose if we account for the some of the cost for things like oil, spices, and the amount of electricity used for the stove, maybe it creeps back up to $2.50.

But it wasn't a flavorless, gritty, nutrition-goo. It was a nice chicken stir-fry w/ carrots, peppers, and broccoli. And we were "fancy" because we had it with quinoa, so if we used much cheaper rice instead, we could bring that cost down.

And we were using relatively expensive* boneless/skinless chicken breasts, so if we had just used a whole chicken that we bought instead, it would have been even cheaper.

Oh, but I guess we did spend an unconscionable amount of time buying and preparing that meal, though, so I guess we've got to factor that into the equation!

*We got them when they were on sale AND with one of those additional "$2 off!" meat coupons that they stick on the package cause it was their sell-by date, so maybe like $1.50/pound, but a whole chicken is anywhere from like $0.60 - $1/pound depending on the store and if it's on sale or not. Though some of that is bone, but on the other hand, we save the bones and other non-edible bits for stock.

That is insanely cheap. In the Netherlands a whole chicken costs about ~2euros a pound, or 3 times as much.

I would like to know what this dude is doing that is taking up gobs of his time and he can't be bothered to grocery shop, make dinner or wash his clothing. I know I don't like doing any of those things, but all it does is cut down on my Netflix/internet loving around time. Is he solving important mathematical equations or just whining on the internet about how he hates grocery stores and loves trains.

2.50 a meal though, not per DINNER. Even without going veggie it's not like you need to eat meat three times a day. Breakfast of cereal and milk is pennies. Soup and a roll or something for lunch, or a sandwich. Staples and snack foods are hella cheap. If you have $7.50 or $10 or whatever per day, you can spend like 80% of that on dinner.

In any case, it's pointless arguing about this guy or picking apart the obvious flaws in his logic because he is literally a crazy person

It's not a zero carbon footprint, but odds are at least some of your power is coming from non-fossil fuel sources. Plus even then the power plant generates power more efficiently than a car engine can.

But I won't be happy until all cars are powered by electricity sourced from nuclear power plants.
