I had so much extra time at one job back in 2019/2020 that I asked for more work and they wouldn’t give it to me. Coulda done 4-6hr days and been happier but instead I had to sit in my little office watching Youtube and going on Reddit. Thank god they did give me an office because I might have died of boredom otherwise having to put on the facade of being busy.

If you can meme AND get your work done I mean who gives a shit what they say.

There’s a reason every young pet I see eating gets pats(within reason, obviously). Sometimes people will say “oh you gotta leave them alone, they’re eating” and it’s like, sure, if you want your housepet to act like a wild animal and potentially hurt someone.

Cats and dogs you train early to not be protective don’t act like that.

I know a lot of stupid people who choose to be good as well. Stupid people who know to trust scientists and who want to share and all that good stuff. Then there are the violent, monkey-brained goons whose only method of communicating is unfiltered violence. The latter are pathetic in all senses and no amount of being stupid will be an adequate enough excuse for their actions.

Sometimes yea! Tying a hold-down strap to your wheel is a lesson they clearly need to learn the hard way, though, I mean goddamn. Look, I’m still a largely helpful person and boy am I a yapper, which helps, but some people need more than a bone. I can’t speak for this guy but some people have also been told before several times and clearly need a stronger lesson(my roommate moving in with their partner in August, for example, who’s a fuckin’ mess in several ways(but we are still friends)).

I have learned in my life that the more I just tell people the answer the fewer opportunities they have for learning. Much of my knowledge comes from personal exploration and knowing when I need to ask for help and I’ve decided that I need to allow others to do that, too, and if I don’t I’m just taking that from them.

In this case they’d probably get a “you sure about that?” and that’d be the end of it. They’re only going to hurt themselves, it’s not like they’ll get anywhere far, so this is a great chance for some learning.

So, CO2 production does not immediately mean oil is required for production of something. Literally further down that article is “mitigation” and it points out the chemical process has nothing to do fossil fuels, directly, but with the creation of alite. The other part of it, burning fuel, can be changed for other stuff.

Plastic requires oil because it is made of the stuff. Powering a car does not because it doesn’t actually matter where the power comes from. These are important differences. You can make concrete without fossil fuels.

You’re right, we can’t bridge this gap because you are so beyond stupid that your own source even tells you that you’re wrong. It’d be funny if it was fiction but somehow you’re a real person and that just makes it terrifying.

You understand that without those wind and water mills that oil couldn’t have become a thing, right? Like I said, oil was a great way to bridge the gap because it is relatively easy to use but it shouldn’t be our end-goal. Having oil for producing things made of it is certainly important but we’d have a lot more to go around for those purposes if we stopped using it for inefficient things like so many personal vehicles, wasteful plastic packaging, and a myriad other things that we just don’t need it for. It’s done its time, it’s time we scaled back and moved on.

We didn’t give up water or wind mills, either. Canada has so many hydro-electric dams that we literally call home electricity “hydro” and wind farms are only getting bigger and better.

We don’t need oil to make concrete. It’s portland cement(limestone powder), water, and variously sized aggregates and it’s been around for a loooooong time in one form or another. The machinery used to create it does not need to run on fossil fuels. You may be thinking of asphalt, but even then maybe if we didn’t unnecessarily obliterate our roads with constant heavy vehicle traffic we’d be able to keep them for longer and not need to constantly pour resources into barely keeping them alive or refreshing them far too often.

For someone with such a raging erection for oil you’d think you’d be more concerned about reducing our dependency on it so that we don’t waste this precious, finite resource.

Yea, or “the first twenty are free but the remaining five you don’t have to give are a problem”.

It was always happening in the States, just less so or people didn’t care whether or not the history of slaves or whatever was real or not.

The ancient romans also didn’t have solar panels, and actually hydro and wind were totally used in these little things called watermills and windmills. I wouldn’t be surprised if they figured out geothermal heating, too. The difference is that you can simply light oil on fire and that’s easy when you otherwise have a lower level of technology and aren’t ready for better, more advanced ways of generating power.

You’re none too bright, huh?

Europe isn’t making enemies with Russia, bud. Russia literally attacked them, it’s not “making enemies” to engage in self-defense and to not fund the people attacking you.

Ain’t that the way :(

I’m not sure I can express it properly but I’m rootin’ for ya.

Also there’s a ceetain point where the movie thing hits harder. Rent is really expensive and people are needing to get more roommates or live with their parents to afford the super high prices but a movie is once a month is cheap and shouldn’t have a big enough impact to hurt to bad, yet it does. It’s absolutely absurd that we live in a world where people need to count their pennies.

Also, good luck, I hope “homeless” doesn’t mean “on the street”. Keep safe my guy.

Upon hearing that danish pastries came from Denmark my sister asked “then where do cinnamon buns come from?” and my mom was laughing too hard to stop me making fun of her. To this day I can bring it up to instant rage lol

Or the time she drilled an ez-anchor into a wall stud and melted it to half the length. She’s done some housework better more recently but that one is still funny.

Oh course you assumed from context because like it or not you got some serious, and possibly unconscious, sexism you should really look into. I never said I had any of these things myself, only defended others owning them, which makes any possible excuse even weaker, too.

I am disappointed, bud, but not surprised.

The real question is what is Larian’s equivalent to Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”?

Telling that you think I, a 6’-5” cishet male, am a woman when all you have is this conversation.

Big.fuckin’.oof.

No one was talking about 50 stuffed animals, not a soul. You just decided to bring it up for some unknown reason like anyone cares at all what you think about your little made-up scenario.

You’re not the person think you are, treating people like this and saying that your quieter tone of voice is superior while spouting these nonsense opinions and putting more unnecessary negative energy into the world for no other reason than stroking your own ego.
