Unfortunately yes these days, everything is weaponized and politicized against the common people by the leftoids.

I am sure am glad it is only one political party at fault in this country for all of the things going on wrong. Simply amazing what you can learn on here or at least read....

The religious right did some damage way back then in the last millenium, but it was by far not as bad as the damage done by the modern left in the past decade(s). We need to have the left converge in the middle again, old school "liberalism" which is today only represented by conservatives. Of course the two party system is just a general barometer / crutch and there's nothing wrong with being independent, I actually prefer this, but without taking sides you currently cannot win any election or affect any change (few exceptions prove the rule), so it is important to align first and then you can still shift to independent out of a position of strength (holding an office).

I have a 1933 Ingersoll Mickey Mouse Watch I wear only to weddings (because it's delicate). People think it's cute and odd, my watch is worth several thousand dollars but I need to be very careful with it, it's a child's watch, and any moisture will destroy it. It's nearly 100 years old. Just junk to 90% of the country, a relic to 99% of the country, but it's incredibly rare today. Bet you've never seen the original watch. It was $7 (an enormous sum) back in 1933. Rich people gave these to their spoiled rotten spawn.

Does the watch still work?

Why wouldn't it? Mechanical watches last pretty much forever (unless subjected to moisture and corroded).

Yeah, Men don't menstruate. Awfully hard to shed the lining of your uterine wall when you don't have a uterus, but it doesn't stop it from being the Official Doctrine of Public K12 and State Universities, not to mention large corporations stuffed with MBAs and Think Outside the Box geniuses.

trannies are just sexually confused because society has too many faggots pushing that shit on kids.

death to all pedos and groomers.

Patriot and NSA whistleblower William Binney called it 'turn-key totalitarianism'. They have almost everything in place.

More incessant liberal mind-twist BS as obvious as a hooker on fleet day. The author’s hollow talking points about COVID19 gene therapy safety and autoimmune disease hit a wall known as reality when compared with the numerous and increasing reported cases of gene therapy induced autoimmune disease in the literature. These frequent posts display an obvious bias not disguised by a cheesy and boorish feint at meaningful discourse. See Why Liberals Lack Critical Thinking Skills.

LOL!
This guy epitomizes cheap mentality of Hindooo cult and Muslim tyrants.

I love to put “Khalistan” in Twitter search and see the cheapness of Pak & Hindoo.
They can never be first world without Khalsa Raj!

I dunno, man: try killing my dog and I'm not sure I'll stick to my "human exceptionalism" views for longer than 0.5 millisecond after that.

What is this - cognitive dissonance for apex predators?

Yes - we will ensure our own extinction if we can't manage the biosphere.

We are apex predators - learn to deal with it and properly manage it; otherwise, the long known and established predator-prey population relations apply.

Dragnet is a great show.

I strongly suggest watching a few episodes.

Literally everything they claimed about drug abuse, perversion, etc. has come true.

Whites may figure out way to expel Hindooo by using human rights violations of Sikhs in Hindooo land.

Maybe it's all about survival. If I take the stance that "all human life matters" I'm hoping other humans will reciprocate the feeling (i.e.: not kill me). If I take the stance that "all great white shark life matters" the shark will eat me anyway.

ERCOT again asks Texans to conserve power after numerous generators fail

The recent winter heating disaster is Texas was partially due to the extreme cold freezing up windmills and natural gas generation. I wonder if the current "numerous generators fail" is unreliable wind? I can't imagine natural gas powered generation would be failure prone or need much maintenance downtime.

Build some dams for electric and reservoirs that are created for water. Problem solved. Not too complicated. I like CA's climate, but it's not sustainable with the population without more water. Dam up every river or creak you can, environment be damned. I don't think something as stupid as an endangered spider or snake getting drowned is going to mess up the circle of life or whatever. You're all dead anyway if you don't have water.

It would be a huge public works project, but we pipe oil and gas from one end of the country to another. Why couldn't we pipe Great Lakes water in pipelines out west? Have a small nuke for pump power. If is leaks, who gives a shit, it's water. There are plenty of solutions to water shortages, just no one has the balls to do it.

DooDahMan says

The natural world is collapsing all around us at record

No, it isn't. Man, I grew up in the sticks:

https://goo.gl/maps/XLGhQAUW4nGw1ttE9

Go wander around in the area on the map.

It's this alarmism that is driven into every kids head "oh, we're about to fake an ecological catastrophe" - no we aren't. This is a completely false statement. Constantly children are taught there is a looming crisis, they are being programmed to support government intervention, the government doesn't intervene, but it takes power.

DooDahMan says

WookieMan says

Why couldn't we pipe Great Lakes water in pipelines out west?

Cost, complexity, number of new electrical generating stations required to move the water, existing water use agreements on the Great Lakes that include Canada and so much more

Nobody is thinking that it is going to be cheap and easy.

In the last few years, my hometown has killed more than 10k deer so far. We suck.

I'm not against limiting world human population. It's the "How to do it" that scares me.

Yes it is Man, I grew up in the sticks as well - way the fuck out in the sticks in what is other wise known as a living hell. 300-400 miles farther to the north in a state to the left of New York. The theme song form Jaws or Dueling Banjoes is often heard before entering the region.

You have no idea what it's like. For me it was torture, but from another point of view it's paradise.

What does any city produce that we need? Say every city with over 100,000 people is just wiped off the map, will society continue? It sure will. That won't happen in the reverse.

DooDahMan says

We are going to be the reason we end as a species due to our complete and utter disregard for the creatures and world around us.

I doubt it. No doubt you hear about the Dodo being hunted by man to extinction. Guess what? That never happened. The island had rats introduced to the island, they wiped out the Dodo, because their eggs were easy to get to.

The government just creates constant panic to try to create more control. They don't actually do anything.

richwicks says

Why was it torture? For about 6 years my father was a logger in Michigan. We lived way far out. Some of the best years of my life. The best memory for me was walking through the forest with dad on Xmas Eve looking for a Xmas tree. He finally decided to cut off the top of a, what seemed like to me at the time, 100 foot tall pine tree and use that. He dragged that tree back all by himself. He was a mountain man for sure. Good times, good times.

Simple, as we enter modernity children become a liability instead of an asset. As life gets more comfortable, people have less children. We see this all through the developed world. China is experiencing it now. They didn't need their stupid 1 child policy.

You see this in droves in Japan, Japanese might go extinct within the next 200 years.

In China, abortion is now illegal except for the health of the mother. They are trying to reverse the trend.

Did those rats get there with the help of man perhaps?

WineHorror1 says

Why was it torture?

BORING. It was boring to live there. Nature is great, but you get your fill after 18 years of it. Small towns are a torture in their own, there's no anonymity. Rumors are a constant thing, everybody in town knew X was having an affair, except the spouse.

We went out for Christmas trees too, slogging through the snow.

The torture for me was primarily lack of educational resources and data. I'm built to be an engineer. The first thing I did when I got my license to drive, was go to Watertown and visit the library. It was just frustrating. It wouldn't be bad today. Internet has entirely replaced the need for a library to get access to technical information.

I can see why my parents liked it, but as a kid back in the 1970s, it was just frustrating constantly.

So, you didn't go fishing, tobogganing, climb to the tops of trees, go shooting, swim in creeks, explore, grow a garden, build things (you're an engineer. You could have owned your town at some point maybe), ride horses, ride mini bikes, skip rocks, throw rocks to improve motor skills? I could go on and on. I've never felt as free as I did back then. I imagine it's also because I was young with 0 responsibilities.

If there is no wolves the population of deer is probably way above normal anyway. Yellowstone is a good example of how many deer would be in the area with and without wolves.

Of course. What's your solution? Quarantine every geographical area for all of time? That's what you'd have to do.

In the Galapagos Islands, goats were released onto the Island, and were out competing the local fauna. You know how that was dealt with? They were purposely hunted to extinction. They did this on Isabela Island.

Man is not somehow divorced from nature. We're part of it. A dam is no more artificial than a beaver dam is.

Something people are unaware of today is that nature is not your friend. Everything is trying to kill you. Nature wants EVERYTHING dead.

I guess CIA will have a big blackmail bomb soon to make all Hindooo cult suck on beef Hot Dog.
Love the way west is playing Hindooo like a fiddle.

My simple question to @BJP4India
. Despite dozens of anti India FIRs against so called Khalistani leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu of SFJ, why Indian Govt is not seeking his extradition from USA? How Indian Telecom dept allow broadcast of his mobile messages on Khalistan in India?

Just a reminder, there is NO energy crisis. All part of the 2030 agenda to bring the US down to 3rd world standards.

That is Richard Dawkins discussing the intellectual fraud of Luce Irigaray who was a French "intellectual" - really an intellectual fraud that claimed Newton's Principia was a "Rape Manual", because she was too uneducated to understand that chaos theory is fucking impossible to model currently, and may be impossible to model, period. Chaos theory can only be modeled (currently) by chaos, we can't predict the movement of fluids in a mathematical model, small perturbations in air or water cause major effects which are unpredictable, maybe due to Brownian Motion - the point is, we can't predict it. This is why meteorologists suck at their job and you're better off with the Farmer's Almanac - and YOU REALLY ARE.

Luce Irigaray is a fucking intellectual fraud, scammer, conwoman, and is wealthy and famous. There's a lot of money to be made in saying something false. Science is hard not because "science is hard", it's just a lot easier to lie. Proving something is almost certainly true (because in science, we don't prove ANYTHING is true, instead we prove what is false and what is left over is LIKELY to be correct) is a LOT more difficult than just lying.

My point is be cautious with trust of "intellectual authorities". Sometimes they are just liars, sometimes, they are legitimately insane. Often you're just viewing a clown show.

Did you grow up in the same town I did ?

Haha, every small town is like this.

I imagine this must be similar among the supposed "elite". That's a small group as well. I think this really is the structure, and as a result, I don't want to climb up too far. I want to be ANONYMOUS and wealthy, not famous. I don't want to join that group.

It's funny, I understand the appeal of the small town lifestyle now, but I hated it as a kid. I understand the liberal and conservative's thinking too. Small towns are an enclave of "leave me alone" and cities are an enclave of "why doesn't the government fix this shit?" I like the independence of small backwaters, but I hate the lack of privacy and anonymity.

DooDahMan says

richwicks says

I doubt it.

Don't.

Try as we might with all of our creations we will never conquer or control nature - we will however continue to be conquered and controlled by nature until we are no more and the planet tries to heal itself from our existence

We are no more damaging to this planet, than rats and insects are. Yes, we do change our environment - every living thing does. Plants drastically changed our environment, ejecting a pollutant called "oxygen". It allows us to live.

Don't hate yourself for being an animal.

We are the best stewards of the planet. Ever had a pet? Were you kind and loving to it, did you give it a good life? Did you enjoy joy through it's joy? Vicarious happiness?

What other animal is capable and willing to do that? We're stepping up, slowly to be certain, but we're not evil - we just are, and I think, generally, we're good. We will damage ourselves to help other people and even creatures. You experience all this pain and doubt, you think perhaps "we are destroying the planet", we're not - but we may be changing it. Is it really so bad that we remake the world into a garden, into a park?

Heaven is a concept that is well established in every culture. Do you really object the attempt to make it on this planet? Humanity has kindness and empathy that transcends our species, and sometimes we have pets and animals and we give them such a comfortable life, they can transcend it too. Is this evil? We aren't evil, some of us are, but I'm fully convinced that our basic morality is good. We are improving as a species, not just technologically, but morally.

2000 years ago, slavery was a step up - instead of wiping out the conquered men, and taking their women as wives, we simply made them servants. Now, even that is frowned upon. We are constantly morally improving.

There's a few nutcases that think they can be overlords, we'll overthrow them in time. I'm not worried about that. They are sociopathic throwbacks - primitives. The herd marches forward. I think in time the destiny for not only humanity, but the world, is a real garden of Eden.

Our fundamental nature is improving, and by "our" I mean every living thing. We will reach a state of complete symbiosis in time, and if a comet doesn't hit us, or a nuclear war isn't waged by the maniacs, we will reach a state of complete symbiosis. That's what we are clearly moving toward.

Our "nature" is changing, and it's changing for the better. In 2,000 years you and I will be seen as ruthless barbarians. Just think, could you accept seeing people nailed to a cross and left to die through thirst over 3 days? That was crucifixion. What culture would accept this today? We are improving. We're flawed but we are improving.

At times there seems to be a real war between "good" and "evil" - it's pretty obvious to me which side will win. We're not fundamentally evil, only evil people are, and unfortunately since they ignore all sorts of social contracts, they seem to be in charge. They aren't.

We absolutely have checks and balances on our population.

Do you know where 99% of our fertilizer comes from? Ammonium nitrate, it's made from natural gas. Fritz Haber along with Carl Bosch invented this process.

Haber also invented Zyklon-B - it was an cyanide herbicide. It is what was claimed to exterminate people in the holocaust. He was Jewish.

More than 70% of the world is ocean, and it's deadly to us. We'll reach equilibrium in time.

You and I are divorced from it, but existence is a struggle. We enjoy astonishingly easy times.

The reason to buy a house for guys is 1. Girls like it 2. To have control over our living 3. To have a place to store our shit (kayak, bike, surfboard, etc.)

I can attest that having my own apartment was okay but girls always asked me if I was going to buy something.

I got more chicks when I had a big place which they thought I owned.

They think you are successful if you are an owner.

Women like houses and money, men like pussy, so we have to get the money or we’re out of luck.

It's hard to be a man who owns a nice home that is ultimately chick-less. They latch on, fuck you for a bit, then move in and re-arrange everything and start bossing you around. They're good at it.

If I ever were to build a home from scratch, the last thing I would do, is go in with a "You must meet or beat deadlines at any means necessary. "

So many people having their home built, would support the Contractor going to Home Depot and grabbing any random dude in the parking lot with a "Wil work for food" sign.
If their capable contractor couldn't make a scheduled date. I would not place provisions in the contract that punishes the GC over missed deadlines as long as he was acting in good faith.

Back when Weston, well everything west of 441 down her in South Florida was being built. I was doing the flooring in those townhouses and McMansions. Time and time again, the homeowner would be unhappy with something or everything. You could tell the ones that put the Contractor under the most duress to get it done by any means necessary.
Those houses, had sagging slab, leaking window sills, creaking steps, and second floor substrate. Big globs of stucco or cement in the front yard, along the bottom of the wall.
