Actually, the first scientist to observe the effects of Co2 was Eunice Foote an amateur  climate scientist. in....1854, or 1856 somewhere in there. Having observed that a closed container (like our atmosphere) with higher concentrations of Co2, became hotter, faster and retained that heat longer. The higher the…

Wow, 48 pounds is what qualifies as “difficult to move” now?
How could that possibly be, when we have products that include telescoping smartphone mounts to save the sweaty masses the undue stress of holding 150 grams under their own strength.

Were it just a chair, i mean, i’m only human how can i not love a comfy…

The problem is, “blind” casting isn’t what’s happening.

Intentional diversity is happening, and everyone fucking knows it, and whether anyone wants to admit, the reality is that these conscious choices to go against established norms, are not getting great results.

Gender swap reboots or reimaginings have been garbage…

How can anyone possibly ignore it? For the past few years things have played out one of two ways:
1) Some entertainment medium makes a heavy handed attempt to clumsily pander to the most fragile demographic. It has nothing to do with the story, the character development or even the conversation in which the information…

Ah yes, a fine plan. Compel a corporation to harvest users actual identity, privacy be damned, won’t someone please think of the stupid, ugly children?!

Pass legislation granting government unrestricted access to these data stores, ya know to ensure these evil smut peddlers are adhering to the law. 

No matter how…

Here’s the important thing to remember:

People, as a whole, are fucking stupid.

We’ve had centuries of reports of people seeing UFO’s or otherwise un-explainable tech, from government sources to billy-bob and barbra-jean recounting their anal probes. But because of the latter, it’s much easier to ignore the…

It’s been 25 years, which i’ll bet is most of the time, if not longer than you have been alive.

The fucking entitlement of people today, is fucking unreal. That you, or anyone else thinks that you get to mine one great feat, of sheer fucking luck until the end of time is dumbfounding.

Disney is worth $166 billion
Lightyea…

To pretend that there is any comparison to “the struggle” that gay people faced that persisted, even through the mid 90's to the way things are today, is just a desire to be a victim, to have something to overcome.

95% of the country, doesn’t give a thought to anyone’s sexual preferences. 1% are ignorant bigots, and…

What would your solution be?
Don’t have one? Because you don’t understand the problem?

You can input the parameters to an AI system telling it how people SHOULD be driving. And that would be useful if EVERY vehicle on the road were autonomous, but they’re not, and people...are fucking stupid. They’re so fucking stupid…

So think of all the ancillary workers in an office building. Maintenance, janitorial, cafeteria, mail room, assistants/secretarial, interns, building managers, landlords on and on. All the people whose livelihoods  depend on YOU putting pants on, waddling your fat ass out to you car/cab/bus/train and commuting to a…

I hate to break it to you, but anything found on social media has zero relevance to the majority of society. The ratio of great, or even decent show against terrible bullshit that relies on pandering to the lowest and loudest common denominator, is far out of whack . The fact that non-male/non white characters all…

I mean....i’ve been looking forward to this game for TWO years. Arkane is phenomenal, the concept was interesting, the visuals at the time of the first trailer in 2021 looked compelling. This should have been a major win.

But it’s just so fucking bland. The cutscenes are terrible, the voice acting AND writing is “meh”…

What an absolute garbage response, thankfully it’s in a stark minority given that the game sold 12 million copies, netting $850 million....in it’s first 14 days.

You don’t get to spend the first 30/40/50/60 years of your life living as a man, take some hormones and grow your hair out and then pretend your opinion…

The new standard mentality of society, when fair and legitimate questions call you on your shit, villainize the person doing so until their life is fucked up enough they’re forced to placate the entitled simple-minded masses.

The majority of theroot is just a list of justifications for disliking you people because of…

You really just have to sit in awe of the shameless gall here.

Police are stopping people for traffic violations....but because those people are black, that means they’re racist.

It’s been years now of the endless cycle of “i am _____ and i don’t like this, so you’re racist/sexist/-phobic” Point to anything, anything…

It doesn’t need to be abolished, or redeemed. It’s reflective of a real life subset of society, and how you feel about it doesn’t really fucking matter.

In fact, how an individual feels about something that another person has created, doesn’t matter at all. Ever. Your interpretation, you’re assumptions and…

Yeah, keep banging on about forgiving student loan debt as the inflation we already have continues to beat the shit out of everyone.

You want universal healthcare? Stop pushing the idea that the rich are supposed to foot the bill while nothing changes for the other 90% of taxpayers.

All the socialist utopia’s of europe…

Yeah...and you know what it takes to earn in that income bracket? The willingness to do what you are ABLE to do, not simply what you WANT to do.

Which seems to be a difficult concept for many americans to grasp. Sure, there are countless people in their 20's and 30's who have a degree that tossed them $100K in debt,…

My god, society is just racing along to see who can be the softest, whiniest waste of skin possible.

“i can’t socialize after working 8 whole hours in a day as i’m ONLY paid $14.25 an hour to put things on shelves and hit buttons on a register”

This is a no skill job, like every other cashier, fast food worker, waitstaf…

What reality are you living in? The person or people creating and distributing this stuff for a profit, yes they should be banned and ostracized everywhere.

But someone who just watched it? Go fuck yourself.

If you have ever posted a picture of yourself, your kids, your spouse, or other family...someone, somewhere has…
