They don't want 'everyone' ... they just want 'white christian people of european descent'

When you are a brown person, the messaging from these asshats is always the same racist bullshit we've heard for hundreds of years

The problem is that the world needs a giant energy source as we transition in between .... before we get to the point of using fully or primarily wind/solar/batteries, the world has to use several decades or a century or more of some big source of energy and most governments and industries are just banking on forcing everyone to stay on fossil fuels

The French didn't start chopping heads until people started starving ... when the ruling class starts offering the only alternative as death .... then the underclasses start seeing that there is also no alternative for the classes above them either

It's great going in ... not so good inbetween ... not so great coming out

Nah ... more like 20-30 years ... you have to wait until large parts of the population are starving in the streets and dying in the alleyways enmasse before people will rise up to want to rebel.

Never understood the freakout over nuclear ..... when you measure up the long term statistics

Gas/Oil/Coal have killed more people over the past 100 years than nuclear ever did (even if you threw in the bombing deaths in Japan in WWII)

The deaths caused by gas/oil/coal are just not as dramatic ... all those people died from global pollution, poisoning, early death, shortened lives, lung problems, bad health ... and all by the millions

Over the past three months ... I've discouraged any of my family and friends from even going near the US ... even to get transit flights

Want to fly to Asia? ... get a direct flight, pay extra, don't land in the US on your way there or back

Want to go to Europe? ... get a direct flight, pay extra, don't even think of landing in the US

Want to go to the US? ... forget it! ... go to Asia or Europe instead!

I'm in Canada in Ontario and my cousins are in France right now enjoying a month long holiday there. They had originally planned to take cheaper flights connecting through New York from Toronto. I spent about a month hounding them to get them to rebook and avoid landing in New York. As the headlines got worse and worse in the US, they finally agreed and paid a bit extra and flew direct from Montreal instead. Even their return flight was originally supposed to be through New York but they changed that too to fly direct back to Canada.

None .... it's always OK to punch a Nazi ... and its also OK to punch a Nazi sympathizer

I now vote for PugJesus to stop having access to drinks

That was the secret of the Nazi war machine .... they had German u-boats in the Atlantic ... and manned icebergs! ready to do damage to unsuspecting ships

When your actions cause death without you being aware ... it's called manslaughter

When you take action knowing that what you are doing is going to cause someone's death .... it's called murder.

Junior is actually 40 years old .... the radiation has severely stunted his growth.

 

My wife likes watching America's Got Talent with all their highlight reels and it got me to thinking, there's a business out there making a ton of money from parents allowing their children to perform for free.

 

EDIT: ... changed title from 'monkeys' to 'apes' ... thanks to @Diddlydee@feddit.uk for pointing it out

 
 

Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we're faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

 
 

Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 2 Episode 23 - Regeneration

The episode starts in the 22nd Century in the Arctic .... and the first thought I had was .... WE BEAT GLOBAL WARMING!!! Because there's still ice and snow in the Arctic.

Every call I've ever had that was a wrong number, misdailed number, pocket dial or whatever that wasn't supposed to be for me turned out to be a spam call or marketing call for something. Most of the time, it was a way for me to confirm my number to some dumb marketer.

For the past year or two, I answer all mysterious calls I don't recognize and put it immediately on 'mute'. If the person calling doesn't identify themselves ... I let them hang up first and then I just block the number. If they identify themselves with some weird marketing message ... I let them hang up and then block the number.

 
 

I just lost two close relatives who were also friends today. We grew up as kids and they were about a year or two older than me. I've always been aware of death and accept it but when stuff like this happens, it's a really strong reminder of how we're all moving along in the line towards the end.

 

Enterprise Season1 Episode 23 - "Fallen Hero"

I love how the show creators come up with new alien species but this one was too funny not to notice.
