Owning that car should result in an instant prison sentence.

Reno 911 IMHO is one of the best television shows out there.

Right!? Don't get me wrong, fuck Nazis. But their uniforms were on point. This spray tanned fat fuck we've got is just embarrassing on every level.

I thought if you married someone they get a green card?

It Looks as if they actually did engage in child sacrifice. Really not that shocking in the grand scheme of human history. Idk about the cannibalism tho

I'm sure the national state farm corporation spun off shell companies to reduce liability in these high risk areas.

I have an e bike. Love it! It's my daily commuter.

People in cars are often too impatient and callously ambivalent about anyone's safety who's not in a car. Idk what it is about hopping behind a wheel that makes people so impatient and mean spirited. I mean they're driving around in an environment so comfortable and convenient it would make the pharos of old green with envy.

The infrastructure for biking, if extant at all, is often jammed in as an afterthought and far less useful, and far more dangerous than your average motorist may realize.

Also there's a segment of my fellow bikers who bike not because they prefer it to automobiles, but because they're not functional enough to own an auto, valid license, insurance, etc. This segment of the biking community all too often gives the rest of us a bad look.

And yes, I think a bit of well thought out regulation and enforcement may be in order.

Public transportation doesn't work in the endless suburbs and stripmalls we've built. It's too spread out, and we've been doing it for a few generations now. It's difficult for my countrypeople to imagine living differently, to imagine that our current existence may not be their birthright.

People think nothing of living 20 plus miles from where they work or go to school, can't imagine a world where such a thing is a ridiculous notion. We could have all these nice things. People want a better world, a more functional city.

But ask people to change, to live a smaller life, and be prepared for a deluge of excuses and justifications. We all wake up and collectively decide the world we're gonna live in today.

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

Keeping with the theme of early aughts hip-hop I'm seeing here

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

The wiki says it was transferred to Europe via the middle east. It seems obvious the Arabic numerals we use today are so much easier to work with than Roman numerals.

Was there a noticeable uptick in trade simply because bookkeeping became so much easier? Was there a noticeable uptick in the complexity and pervasiveness of monied, as opposed to in kind, daily trade in all levels of society?

It seems like the humble zero hit the scene and next thing you know the Renaissance is getting under way.

 

I left this pic in a comment on another post, but she's so cute I figured it deserved its own post.

 

It starts getting warm and she wants in and out dozens of times a day.

She had to get shaved after a tree sap incident.

 

Her fur was getting too clumped up. Think she got into some tree sap or something.
