He sounds like an entitled douche. I’m a father myself, and I wouldn’t care if my daughter and I had to wait a little longer to board the plane. We will still get our seats, and the plane won’t take off until everyone is on board anyway...
In retaliation, Vladimir Putin blew up Vince McMahon's limo.
I'm 100% on board with you about the level of air conditioning. We should impose fines on businesses that set thermostats below 70 F unless it is necessary for equipment, etc. But out here on the East Coast, where the summers are overwhelmingly the worst time of the year and the humidity and bugs (bugs! in cities! …
Maybe you've never been to AZ or another desert area that gets zero water naturally yet has plenty of green lawns. In places that are green naturally, it's renewable. In places where major rivers like the Colorado have dried up, it's not renewable and not natural.
Dallas wastes untold gallons of water on bermuda grass. And they won't consider native buffalo grass, which will stay green in a drought.
We could go a long ways towards surviving these situations if we would fucking conserve. Pardon me for going off on a North vs South rant for a second, but the East Bay and San Franciscans typically get on board with conservation and cut back despite the fact that it's the people-filled desert South that bought up…
80F? Screw that. I get somewhere between 74-76F but not 80. When I start sweating while not doing exertional work then I crank on the swamp cooler in our house. People waste that is for sure but 72-74F is considered room temperature from every source I know.
Here's the thing. Global warming is only going to make this shit WORSE. Water insecurity, rationing and droughts are another delightful thing we have to worry about. California and Detroit are just the beginning.
Well, there's no reason for a/c in California. I've lived in the Inland Empire in Indian Summer before. You just suck it the fuck up.
This is why we can't have nice fucking things. Manicured perfect, cookie-cutter lawns are fucking ugly resource wasters. Also, air conditioning, I fucking hate air conditioning. I have to carry a sweater like a goddamn grandma around with me because everyone thinks that any temperature above 70 is inhospitably…
If defending something means losing your humanity, then it is no longer worth defending. The real enemy is the hatred that destroys a community like this from the inside.
Peace, humanity, and life are more important than land.
Tell me again why we disrespect and make fun of Catholicism and Christianity but we can't touch Judaism for fear of being branded anti-Semitic?
To be fair, I have spoken to Arabs who say the same things about Jews. And these are well-educated Arabs who went to top universities in Germany, France, the UK. Yet, they still told me with a straight face that AIDS was brought into Egypt by Jews, that 9/11 was an inside job of the MOSAD, etc etc. It just boggles the…
This is unsurprising. When some of the greatest power holders in the world support your cause, you tend to feel pretty fucking empowered to do and say whatever you want.
Riiiiiight
A little man slaps a big man in the face. The big man beats him to a bloody pulp with a crowbar, then beats up anyone standing near him, then complains to sympathetic bystanders about how much his face hurts now.
I have friends from Israel. I've met people that have not openly wished death/harm on Arabs, but have made it abundantly clear that they hate them. It's quite surreal to have a conversation with someone and have them speak with such disgust about a general group of people.
