Cancel culture beats people into the ground with words so far that they drink bleach which has literally happened. boycotts end shitty business practices.

I have lived around the Great lakes all my life and I see the research of natural History of these Great lakes as an indicator of long-term climate. That climate ranges quite widely. Right now we think that within the last 14,000 year time period the lakes are about the lowest average they usually get rn. They have before fluctuated about 200 ft in several hundred years. But they've been much much lower before. The average is about 100 ft higher. Just think of the millions of people that's going to affect when the lakes go back to normal. They're already starting to show signs of coming up massive amounts of flooding on both sides.

That's because climate change is still not proven after 30 years every model every prediction is almost ultimately turned up to be wrong or reversed yes the Earth is changing natural History shows us that it does that very rapidly whether or not we caused it or not is still the issue. I look at it this way smog is climate change it changes an entire city climate it also kills people with bad lungs but you're not going to get people to stop making it.

Shade tree mechanic here,most my cars are 20 YO old. I just got a "new" car a 12 yo Twin turbo AWD BMW. I have to say the amount of "lifetime fluid" stickers on it is way to damn high. it needed all these lifetime fluids changed at 40k intervals but BMW made it that way so they wouldn't have to maintain all the fluids. NOW ME AND THE MAD SCIENTIST GOT TO PULL APART TORQUE CONVERTER BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST ONE EVER IN HISTORY TO INCLUDE A CLUTCH PACK.

I would like to interject that Earth changes very very rapidly and humans never remember what it was like just 20 years ago. Most of the natural forests in the United States have been a ravished and destroyed. Yet people are still worried about the environment but not concerned about tearing down a quarter acre of the forest for their house. The snowflake never feels responsible for the avalanche. My grandpa told me stories of squirrels that could go from Cincinnati to Apalachicola on the tops of chestnut trees and never touch the ground, now you'll never find one chestnut tree the whole way.

And I believe that humans are so closed off from reality and don't care about others so much the point that they don't realize how little of a rate that is compared to everything else. We got people claiming they almost died from covid. Then testing negative realizing that they just got normal flu, holy crap normal flu is so bad it can make you lose weight? Yes idiot.

I just spent about 3 months non-stop hospital visits for the past year and a half for open reduction internal fixation multiple times. The hospital was empty like literally the lights are out in this hallway I have to find the light switch and turn it on so that I can go down to the X-ray room. This is a city of 300,000 with an empty hospital. Yet they claim it's full when all 35 covid beds are taken. I walked all around the hospital hoax fake are the first words that came to my mind.

A lot of that information will be lost it costs a lot of money to store data on the internet nowadays when nobody's paying the bill it just gets lost.

We bought an old tobacco farm in South Indiana almost every building it has these weird metal rings. historians said they were for tying up cattle and horses. But we found out recently that they were actually for farming equipment they would tether steam engines to ropes and then use these steel rings attached to buildings and trees to pull plows around with the steam engines.

Farming corporations do it constantly they're by far the biggest wasters of water but they run ad campaigns telling you to turn the faucet off when you're brushing your teeth. The dump so much NPK in the fields now that they're destroying our waterways then they claim it's not farming corporation practices it's all the sewer from the people

Sounds like that one time the gold rush in the United States killed like 100 species and then drained all of the swamp in California which most California was just to feed the gold rushers you know like completely destroy and change the native surroundings of an entire humongous State just so you can have a little bit of gold and sell some shovels. And then 100 years later wonder why there's a massive environmental problems like water shortages

In contrast because everybody's hold up and probably not in the best physical condition some of my friends who did get real flu we're amazed that it's strength had them laying on their asses not being able to do anything and they lost weight almost like covid but a lot worse

I have to say I just had this exact situation and conversation come up while visiting family in the south. They all complained about construction workers and not being able to find one that's competent they all think they're the best and they all do very very bad work. That's only in the South they have homes up north and they don't have that problem at all they're constantly trying to get their contractors to travel South to work for them. even people who were born and raised in Florida that were involved in this conversation agreed 100%.
