I love this entire post, but ultimately what I'm after is congruence in the opinion. This isn't normal, and hasn't been for a bit too long to continue sweeping it under the rug.
I would like my recently-born niece to always have the ability to breathe outside air. Why is that seemingly asking too much of us, as a whole? Just why.
Appreciate the exercise, I'm totally spit-balling. 👍
Awful and terrible. I know this and cannot be resplendent. I would've died young, I'm sure.
It's a total benefit to the growth and production of society, but at what real cost? Do we only get a couple hundred years then *disappeared*?
Rough math here, but the US consumes enough oil equivalent to a 45 by 45 mile square, 50 feet deep, every single day. Is that even remotely close, dimenstionslly? I saw ~900 Million gallons as reference and just armchaired it from there.
Anyway, have we all not been behind enough diesel trucks and 18-wheelers to realize that shit can't be good for anything living? No? Cars with cats removed, lawnmowers and other yard implements are awful. Visit SeaTac and experience that delicious jet wash. Yummo. 🙄
I don't have any game in this fight, but can we all just get fucking real for 2 seconds? It's nasty stuff, and I legitimately thought we'd be well past this whole burning carbon for fuel thing by now, but silly me. Can we all agree that something isn't right and go from there?
We can all stop lying to ourselves on this hot topic. Shit ain't normal.
We've entered a deflationary period on ownership. For most things, the more you own the more you lose against inflation.

I don't think they did, Ser.
Let them win this round.
I love that folks such as yourself mention physical violence in a purely digital forum as some sort of inane justification to what the fuck drivel it is they're actually posting.
How does it go, again? 'Sticks and stone will break my bones, but words from outside meanies will surely destroy the reality I've built inside my head and cause me to implode when faced with cold, hard truths exposing my bias and self-servitude.'
Yeah, that must be it exactly. 🤔
It's like a siren call for people like you. 🎶
Oh sure, I'd reply back, knowing full well this is The Internet.
If there were a device which could deliver a punch via TCP/IP, it'd all ready be in use a Ross the globe. Thankfully we can't physically assault someone over these channels, you've gotta accept some responsibility and swallow your spot now and again.
If you can't handle someone calling you a cunt out of the blue, then maybe it's time to log off for a while.
Oh I think the implication is right there in plaintext, brother. You needn't further explain yourself into the corner with this statement.
Are cripples next on your list?
You going to attempt some light racism and misogyny in your next reply?
Are you admonishing gay folk now? Seems like you've painted that in a negative light.
