So your saying I should take my battery powered grinder, saw-za, and crack pipe to a data center?

Pal world was kinda like that. Might be worth checking out. I had fun with it

It's criminal the sopranos is so low. However it's good to see better call Saul is in its rightful place. Y'all are a mixed bag.

When I was in the third grade, I had a teacher tell me it was okay we pushed the natives off the land because we made more efficient use of it, and could therefore carry a greater population.

In the previous grade the teacher passed around a worksheet, and we had to choose which jobs were most suited to what gender.

Oh what a glorious whitebread bublefuck town I grew up in!

Jokes on you, I just bought an old ass dell optiplex. That shit came with a cd drive. I actually didn't even check to see if it would burn tho. And I don't have a CD player. But I could! Probably...

Imma city bus driver. The other day I was pulled over picking someone up, and wouldn't you know it, some asshat in an obnoxious truck coal rolls me. And of course I had my window open because spring.

I gotta say the noise is worse than the smoke. Why anyone would spend money to make their vehicle sound that way will forever baffle me.

But anyways, to my joy the guy was immediately pulled over! I asked around and I guess the guy got nailed for: interfering with transit operations, illegal tint, and failure to obey traffic signals. About 350$'s worth of tickets.

Ya, that doesn't look like a conference room where anyone would entertain "high net worth clients". Cramped, metal window frames, crappy furniture, cheap ceiling tiles. This looks like a room where someone would watch sexual harassment and forklift safety videos before they start working in a warehouse.

I've noticed this as well. Even a cotton poly blend will be noticably stickier by the end of the day. In the winter, if I don't do anything too exerting or slop food down the front of it, I can get a couple of days out of a good cotton shirt.

I recently got a job where I have to wear this awful poly button down, and the thing gets so stinky so fast. Just one of the reasons I hate that shirt.

You've never had smallpox.

You probably have never been hungry. Famine used to be a thing that just happened every ten years or so.

You've probably always had ready access to drinking water.

There's always been wars, people doing terrible things. Slavery and genocide are pretty much par for the course whatever the ethnicity/region.

By most metrics this is the safest time to be alive.

But ya, shits pretty fucked still. So I say we all wake up tomorrow and try and do a little better.

I think the trick is copious amounts of cocaine!

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 
 

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!
