Ew I bet the handholds are all covered in pee. Gonna need extra chalk

How would they talk? They speak different languages and there weren’t subtitles back then.

Mine scrapped out on me after 8 months of daily commuting

It’s not “their playground”. Besides the fact that the South China Sea is a crucial international trade route (and thus shouldn’t “belong” to anyone), it is also bordered by many nations other than China, like Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. And these nations are very bothered by the way China is using its size to bully them out of their own coastline. That is why Canada is there, to prevent China from dominating the smaller states. Obviously NATO has more than one goal in the region, but they are not uninvited guests and, in a world as globalized as ours, the South China Sea might as well be Canada’s playground.

The car manufacturers wrote the zoning laws that turned America into a car-dependent hellscape. The oil barons lobby against every single initiative/bill that would reduce consumption of oil. In absence of government directives/incentives, people will simply do what is cheapest which, in a system designed by capitalists, is environmentally-unfriendly consumption. You seem to think that everyone who doesn’t want average global temperatures to rise should simply stop consuming goods, but doing that on a scale that will actually change anything is stupidly unrealistic and possibly cataclysmic for our current economic system.

My “contribution” to this “problem”? In the context of global climate change, my contribution is a miniscule, worthless fraction, a grain of sand in the Sahara. It is NOT RELEVANT to the conversation around climate change because it’s presence or absence changes nothing.

Your attempts to paint global warming as the product of individual action completely misses the point, and you wind up simply doing damage control for the oil barons, car manufacturers and jet-setters that are actually the cause.

Damn you sure owned that guy! “Oh you don’t like, global warming? Just go live like an ascetic for the rest of your life. That won’t affect the course of climate change, but at least you won’t be a hypocrite!”

Fuck off with that shit. Take your gottems to Twitter or some shit

“Oh yeah let me just insult him, that’ll get my point across.”

Yeah I saw that and it immediately discredited the rest of the article. You can’t cry about US imperialism while handwaving Russian imperialism.

I thought we were making a rice cooker…

This is false. Having kids is very important. The earth can sustainably support billions more. That is, if a certain percentage of people did not hoard all the wealth and resources.

Dang is that your best rebuttal? USA whataboutism? And assuming that, just because I saw this nonsense on my feed and deigned to disagree, I automatically support any dumb old war and gleefully cheer on the carnage?

The way to end this war is to make it clear to Russia that Ukraine has the West’s absolute and unending support, that for every day they spend engaged in this fruitless invasion, their society plunges closer and closer to the stone age. This is best done by meeting Ukraine’s materiel requirements and continuing to diplomatically isolate Russia. If Ukraine gets F-16s, the war will be over by Christmas.

Please also remember, the West is not the aggressor here. Ukraine’s membership in NATO was explicitly refused in 2008 and at the 2021 Brussels summit, shortly before Russia invaded anyway. Russia had no reason to believe that Ukraine was gonna become an American military base, but invaded anyway. The moral responsibility for any casualties that have/will have occurred as a result of this war fall squarely on the shoulders of Russia’s mafia-style dictatorship.

He’s not just a 30 year old lol. He’s one of the best Premier League strikers of all time. If they don’t buy him, odds are he’ll stay in the Prem to chase after Shearer’s record. I hear United are looking for a striker…

I don’t see how the guy is wrong? Putin shouldn’t be allowed to annex countries as he likes?
