The America I grew up in definitely had black guys in it. My family even used to own some of them.
Yeah. It's not just the climate, either. As soon as TikTok decided not to take down the topless French women's Gaza protests, there's been a huge wave of topless protests.
But there is a third option; lean into the rock as a brand, promote testosterone
It's pretty obvious that his doctor told him he had to stop shooting up testosterone or he was gonna die. He's lost 70 pounds since then.
He's in the middle of promoting the live-action Moana. Of course he's gonna lean into Polynesian stuff; he's getting something like $50 million for it.
Politics is acting. Actors are probably the most qualified people for the job. Ronald Reagan was pretty damn popular, eh?
Reagan and Trump are the only presidents who have done screen acting (unless you count cameos), but stage actors include Nixon, both Adams, both Roosevelts, and JFK.
If you do count cameos, Biden was on Parks & Rec, Clinton was on something called A Child's Wish, Ford was on Dynasty, and Carter was on Home Improvement.
English colonists and early Americans raped so many slaves that the average black American is now 20% genetically European.
That means that almost all of them are descended from slaves and from the very men who whipped and beat and raped the slaves.
What are they gonna do, pay reparations to themselves? One great-great-great-grandfather owes another great-great-great grandmother a lot of money?
Biomass = burning things. Sure it's a pretty good way to get rid of some trash & waste materials. But it stinks, people hate that, and it is limited by how much very heavy materials you have stored to be burned. In Europe they import wood pellets from the USA as back-up material to their trash. They cut down trees, ship them by diesel (Well, dirty bunker oil actually, which is, iirc, 3x more polluting) across the ocean and ship them to the Biomass sites by train & truck. Not green by any measure.
Biomass can be perfectly green. You depolymerize a bunch of agricultural waste, and you get oil. Then you use it in the plant.
It's not like burning oil is inherently bad. The Earth has a carbon cycle just like it has a water cycle. The problem is that we're digging up carbon that's been locked in the ground for millions of years, thus adding net carbon to the cycle. If you depolymerize and and burn agricultural waste, everything stays in the same cycle, and it's no more harmful to the environment than releasing steam into the air.
Yes, this is exactly the thing. Everyone on this board is like "It's the Jews! It's not the Zionists, it's not some Jews, it's all the Jews. We need a final final solution where we kill them all."
And I'm like: it's my wife's former admin assistant who brings us bundt cake and quilts once a year or so? It's my high school girlfriend who can barely make California rent now? It's my high school debate partner who became a very average divorce lawyer? Fuck off, man.
You're never going to have four months without sunlight or wind. Power plants don't need battery banks. Battery banks are for portable stuff like cars. Solar plants simply heat nitrate salts to as high as 600 C, and then that energy is released throughout the night, boiling water and running turbines. Calibrated correctly, you can have 24/7 output on just nine hours of sunlight a day.
It's not optimal to try to run a city or country on a single renewable source - which is why you want multiple kinds of plants, each filling in any gaps left by the others. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, tidal, and biomass.
You did indeed say that a day or two ago. I still have no idea what you're talking about.
Burlington, VT, Georgetown, TX, and Basel, Switzerland are powered entirely by renewables with an emphasis on solar.
The biggest renewable-exclusive cities are Oslo and Reykjavík, though in their cases it's mostly geothermal.
Sure, Thorium seems to have a lot of promise, although I've read that certain groups are really overhyping it past what it can actually accomplish.
Most experts think that our ultimate energy solution is going to have to be balanced and multi-sourced.
Seems like you might be talking about home rooftop panels. Large-scale power plants solve that problem by using thermal energy storage - usually molten salt.
The ones I know? I don't think they're making any significant political contributions. Maybe twenty bucks here and there to this or that candidate.
Oh, I'm very banned from Reddit. I never managed to last more than a few weeks over there. Any time I would say anything even slightly edgy, the sitewide banhammer came down. The subreddit mods rarely banned me; it was almost always the site admins, directly.
There are four scenarios: 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5.
8.5 was the scenario for what happens if humans keep accelerating their rate of petroleum extraction consistent with what we've done over the past century.
The IPCC is now saying it's "implausible" because that would create a situation where petroleum was significantly more expensive than renewables, and who would want to extract petroleum to create a power plant that was more expensive than a solar plant?
The ones I know spend it on cars and houses and college funds and stuff.
You're saying that Jews have fucked us in the ass and I want to suck their dicks in response. Which leads me to wonder whether you actually believe that Jews have fucked you in the ass.
I looked that one up, and Google says that isn't even a slur, it's just the weekend. Not sure what you're talking about.
Aww, you had a perfectly good opportunity to talk about my butthole again and you passed it up. You could have said you wanted me to die from anal rape. I guess you just woke up.
I'm sure I would, but I almost never see black people on the Internet; or if I do, they don't identify their race.
Occasionally someone will be like "I'm a black woman from the Netherlands," and I'll be like: huh. I actually don't know anything at all about the black Dutch experience.
I've seen like one guy identify himself as a black man in the last fifteen years. That guy was a bitch. Hated that guy.
So, to be clear, you want a person to sit down with a pencil and a sheet of paper and be able to draw something that gets them sent to prison as a sex offender?
What? That's exactly the opposite of what I want.
What I want is for nobody to go to prison for drawing on paper.
What most people want is to arrest and execute all the pedos, even if the most they've actually done is drawn pictures with a pencil.
It's one of the rare bipartisan issues. Most of the guys on this forum, as well as most of the guys on Reddit, just say "kill the pedo" and temporarily suspend any beliefs they have about free speech or expression.
You know what GamerGate had a lot of at the beginning? Gamers. Guys who played video games and thought that male power fantasies were a perfectly legitimate kind of game and didn't want the government and corporate advocacy taking that from them.
I guess those guys eventually just looked around and said "JFC, what am I associating myself with."
If the Neo-Nazis took over GamerGate so completely, one assumes they'll take over all the communities in due time. It seems that every lightly-moderated forum eventually becomes single-issue, and that single issue is Joo-obsessives upvoting each other like barking seals.
I did not.
May is also National Health Awareness Month, National Military Apprecation Month, Skin Cancer Awareness Month, EDS Awareness Month, Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Employee Health and Fitness Month, National Wildfire Awareness Month, National Chamber Music Month, National Stroke Awareness Month, National Water Safety Month, National Egg Month... okay I'm bored typing these. There are like 50 more.
...it's a lot to keep track of.
