I’ve come to the conclusion that our species won’t grow up and do the right, sane, morally decent thing but will instead clutch to their sports, their nascar, their political delusions because you can’t convince children to abandon their toys, and those toys make so many people so much money that we’re gonna cook. Miserably. And when the mobs rally and decide who to attack, they’ll come after the scientists who did nothing except warn, and warn and warn and warn for 50 years, costing them their careers and mental health trying to get the world to listen.

Because the angry mobs won’t admit their apathy and capricious reasoning (what can I do/it’s a scam/burning fuel for fun can’t hurt anyone) and want to punish someone.

And the petroleum companies will have guarded gates, while the universities will be open.

Hey, I didn’t see it that way, you got good points, you won me over. You’re a fucking asshole, though, good luck winning others over with your childish bullshit.

Sure thing sporto.

yeah that’s what we’ve got, a binary decision between sports (panem et circenses) or outright war.

Couldn’t possibly be some bits in between.

Cute.

games are fun

Games ARE fun. Adults wasting these kinds of resources so rich men can get richer is fucking disgusting and you know it even if you won’t admit it.

It’s a terrible waste of resources, it’s a perversion of athletics, and it doesn’t take a nerd to feel superior to that kind of petty bullshit.

If it’s any consolation I feel the same way about NASCAR and F1. Petty, climate wrecking childish bullshit.

Bet you’re a fan of that garbage too.

what the fuck is even that?

also, it’s gold that you don’t even try to argue that you’re an adult who’s enthralled by watching billionaires pay millionaires to play a child’s game.

lolol

who still watches broadcast TV?

ah sports… adults investing billions into children’s games. not surprised.

I wonder if it’s proximity to a swing state… safely blue state here, I could vote red 20 times and it wouldn’t even register. still going to vote blue.

thank you for the links above!

it was $800/hr and you missed it, schmuck!

no honestly I can’t comprehend why people don’t include the important parts in the actual listing, it’s exhausting and pedantic.

Both parties are running these style ads in my area.

please post examples of the dems doing this, I’d like to see what kind of rhetoric they’re deploying.

Have seen NOTHING like this from the left in my corner of the country.

you’ve missed the entire point. we wouldn’t vote for a trump no matter what party. we weigh the good against the the bad and make an informed, imperfect decision.

That’s the system we’ve got. Man, I would love for this election to propel a new third party based on ideal policies into the fray - I REALLY DO - but whining and moaning that you WON’T choose between the two NOW is years too late. And it fucks LGBTQ, women, immigrants, ukraine and so many others over.

Stop being a one-issue dilettante and join the real world.

Now that there’s reporting that the Biden admin explicitly okayed the aid worker strikes

citation requested.

One party has actual muslims in it’s caucus. the other party is obviously in the bag for Bibi.

I call bullshit, you were either never going to vote or never going to vote dem either way.

unsimulated

seems like an unnecessarily extra word. you could just say 'included live piercing, sexual intercourse and blah blah…

and once it’s been proven, it’ll proliferate.

yeah, well… on the one hand, you can look at it as a response to what happened during the war, with RU losing 20+ million.

On the other hand, you could consider: stalin killed and gulag’d so many of his own people, what does anyone expect him to do to POWs?

ain’t right. but you can’t say it was exactly unexpected.
