That and H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 means HH which means heil hitler.

No seriously, it is that dumb.

Yep. One of the many reasons why this lifelong Windows user is not going to 11.

This is is why you should use incognito/InPrivate mode when using Microsoft sites. It will always give the full login prompt.

The real frustrating thing is when you have a personal account and a work account under the same email address… Separating those two is a massive pain.

Theft, money, insurance.

I wanna change the world, but I still have to live in it first.

The ending is what really got me.

They all just sat down and kept trying to live life the way they always had, like going back and making everything the way it was just for a little while was all they could do in the face of obliteration.

I don’t know about anyone else, but the way that scene is drawn out, as the viewer, I was just expecting some deus ex machina shit to happen, like a volcano would divert the shockwave, or they would survive under the rubble, or the whole thing was a fever dream… And they all just get obliterated by the disaster they all knew was coming and no longer preventable. It’s how I feel living in a house with AC, and having two cars in the driveway. I’m contributing to the climate crisis, but as an individual, I have zero impact in what is happening. The people with the power to cut back and actually make an impact on the climate won’t, because they only have that power though greed above everything else.

Anyway, sorry if you’re depressed after reading it. When we hit +1.5C, all the cool people can come over to my house for a nice dinner before the food supply collapses and the famine sets in.

The harrowing thing for me about “Don’t Look Up”, was that you couldn’t tell if it was about climate change, or Covid, or basically any other far-right political denialism.

I care.

In their defense, the house was built 50 years ago. Ripping up the drive and disposing of the concrete releases more CO2, SUVs are practically the only vehicles offered on the market anymore (and you got tired of almost getting killed by dodge-ram drivers while driving your tiny hybrid hatchback), hah, you think we get vacations, and when the stuff you need only comes in a disposable form, what choice do you really have?

The problem is that companies are only responsible for producing their product… And that is only half the lifecycle.

Start taxing/charging companies for the complete lifecycle of their products. If the ocean is full of plastic bags, then the cost of cleanup for those bags should be baked into the price.

Summer drink is a Gin and Tonic.

Nothing is better after mowing the lawn than a shot of Pin-Sol with lime.

Also, don’t forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It’s the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.

Pretty sure this is why he is fucking over federal aid for disasters. Hurricane wipes out a bunch of “poor” houses on the south-east seaboard, his billionaire buddies buy up the properties for pennies on the dollar, and then Trump is going to re-instate disaster aid to help clean up affected areas while taking about how the coast used to look so beautiful, and it’s Biden’s fault that all those people got forced out of their homes. Wealth transfer complete, and we even pick up the bill for rebuilding all the infrastructure on for the billionaires.

Everywhere in Cali must look like the beginning of Predator 2. Frankly it’s amazing that any infants survive to gang member age.

It matters to the cult that they were in.

Yeah, pull a China and say, we’re immediately on putting a 1000% tariffs on any American products. This will functionally stop any trade between our nations. Trump can retailiate with a higher one, but it would just be pointless dick waving. We’re fine with waiting until an intelligent and capable person is able to negotiate a trade deal with the EU on behalf of the USA.

If you need an atomic clock to know how many millions of dollars you have, then you’re rich. The rest of us aren’t even worth fixing a rounding error for them.

Duh, if they ate pork then the ICE agents running the camps would be in extreme danger.

Two things you should look into…

Paradox of Tolerance.

Social contract.

The people not just advocating for, but actively trying to be personally in charge of putting huge portions of the population into death camps are not worthy of tolerance. We cannot allow them to exist unchallenged. Life has been too easy for them, and we have been too abiding of their views and hateful rhetoric, which has empowered and emboldened them into this state of being. They will cry for your tolerance, but not give second thought to callously harming millions of people just for clout. You gotta draw a line somewhere.

200k in the bank? That pauper is just one bad medical event from being homeless.

Everybody knows they’re bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.

That, and alligators don’t really see people as food, unless you are a small child playing near the edge of the water at dusk. They can be defensive of their personal space and breeding territory, but they’d much rather be 10ft away from you than attacking you.
