it's a good video for people who watch that channel's videos to see, but the end of the message is still funny - "vote", "we need politicians to change laws and massively invest in innovation".

It still ends with saying that You need to do your part.

It's also sponsored by Bil Gates

Here we go! Get ready for the fascism, baby! I forget which country recently put in a proposal to limit driving to 3,000km per year and then you need to pay for every mile above that. It's a farce, dummies. Money will buy you out of any responsibility and the ruling class will do nothing whatsoever to curb emissions while they demand and force you to tamp down your pathetically small contributions to the crisis (relative to the policies and industries and war they maintain and create). They don't really give a gently caress about your emissions but it's useful to make you a slave, eh?

is cashew cheese actually much better than cow cheese in terms of resource consumption? (not emissions, but one could also consider the emissions from its being shipped worldwide)

it’s certainly worse in terms of immediate human suffering

But now where i have a happy (but old) dog to pet and meds to keep the psychosis at bay, life became good and ahahahaAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!

THE WORLD WILL BURN AND ITS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I'M loving LUCID AND I'M SO loving PISSED FUCKFUCKFUCK

Edit: I'm so loving tired of watching the world slowly but steadily spiral into oblivion.

gently caress ice, it's too cold

Ssthalar posted:

Its late and my meds have run out, I should sleep but I can't because who the gently caress knows, probably all the ffffffucking plastics.
Tomorrow will be another good and shining day where I can take my meds and pet my dog and ignore the woes of the world for a few hours.

While Streep does a really good job of being "Trumpette," the movie tars and feathers everyone. I mean, the Supreme Court nominee thing was a clear call-back to Harriet Miers from Dubya's term, the Sheriff was clearly a Joe Arpaio stand-in...

But it's very much an indictment of "enlightened liberals" as well as an excoriation of "working class rubes" who buy into the bullshit.

I don't really get emotional about anything anymore but there was an article about this last year accompanied by a pic of the starved corpse of a manatee and it got me good. Starving people? Seen it all before. Starving sea cow? gently caress

Ooo look, lots of new posts in the dead planet thread! I wonder if something insane happened?

Nope, just a bunch of idiot hellfuckers piling on a guy for saying “slower traffic move right”.

My Dad's like this but to the point where he gets very angry if you're in a room and have more than 1 light bulb on. I offered to pay for a year of lightbulb in cash on the spot and he didn't take it well.

Also he's purposefully misconfigured his furnace in an extremely dangerous and wasteful way because it "saves money" to put extreme amounts of heat through some ducts and nothing through others. Because of this the heat doesn't get evenly distributed and some rooms' ducts are so hot they can catch plastic on fire. If it gets cold enough outside the furnace has to run continually at all times until it overheats and the thermal security breaker cuts power.

He knows exactly why this happens and somehow also insists that modern furnaces need "rebooted" cause they're junk. HVAC pros have told him not to do this. He's relying on a security feature for normal operation. If that part fails the furnace will burn the house down trying to keep it at the designated temperature. When he "reboots" it he's just clearing the fault state and not even waiting for it to return to safe temp.

There's no insulation in the house because installing it could damage the vinyl siding.

Protip: colon cancer is increasing called the gen x and millennial disease

they’ve been rapidly dropping the recommended age to get tested because rates of early onset butt cancers have skyrocketed amongst younger cohort. there’s even one cspammer whose doing some chemo for butt cancer and they’re like 37. we’ll probably start seeing recommended screening at 35 soon

e: phone posting so I can’t get links easily but there’s even several off Kaiser and blue cross sites going “hey wtf shits getting all hosed up and rectal cancers are up9999999%”. one link: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-colon-cancer-conundrum/
