In 2028 New FEMA should run the labor camps we deport the chuds to. New FEMA should entirely staff these camps from Haitian asylum seekers.

• Being a pin cushion is one of the requirements to be braindead enough to serve in the armed forces and always has been. Washington did the first mandatory vax program. Also of note none of them had religious objections to the dozens of other vaccinations they were forced to get.

• The mandate was revoked in 2023 already and some chose to reup at that point. Trump is offering gibs, nothing more. TBH its pretty r-slurred they did anything, should have let the DoD decide for themselves what their vaccination requirements are.

The world leaders at patriots seem to think that soldiers who reject legitimate authority and are easily conned by fake news are valuable

This is a great strategy. Not only is it just the right thing to do. But the ones who refused the shot are the one willing to say no to authority when authority is wrong. That's who I want in my military. The ones who were forced out for "thinking" likely would never go back having been completely abandoned by everything there lives have worked for and being spit on on their forced way out. But with back pay there's a strong incentive to return, not only monetarily, but know the one in charge is willing to do the right thing and buck the system. It will bring some of our strongest minded back.

The trans ban is going to kick out ~15k people (vs the 8k the coof ban did). He tried this last time too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnoski_v._Trump

Its a shame it probably wont come in to effect during his term as they would get mad reparations from this.

Next up is RFKs forthcoming destruction. https://scored.co/p/19AKKF4sCW/more-dirty-tricks-doctors-commit/c wherein the patriots give us another demonstration of how people who claim to hate "fake news" really like even faker news

However, a related 501(c)3 charity, The Committee to Protect Health Care Fund, does have to reveal its donors. It is funded in part by the "left-of-center Sixteen Thirty Fund (1630 Fund) and Hopewell Fund." The Hopewell Fund, in turn, has "hired Arabella Advisors, a leading national philanthropy services firm, to manage its project hosting and fiscal sponsorship services." The Sixteen Thirty Fund is likewise managed by the Arabella Advisors organization.

Arabella's donors include "Bill Gates, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg," according to the Capital Research Center: "Each of them has given a tremendous amount of money to (or through) the main network of Arabella Advisors-managed nonprofits and used it to create policy advocacy projects for their favorite pet sociopolitical issues."

So they don't know who funded the signatures. There is a PAC with a similar name that had 1001 donors in the last election cycle. One of those donors was Hopewell. Hopewell hired a political consultancy firm called Arabella which has also been hired by the Gates foundation. Job done boys, Gates did 9/11 and funded these signatures.

The patriots, naturally, have a balanced and nuanced view of the situation

Bill Gates needs his own "Tree Swing" for his crimes against humanity

Oh here comes the "experts" again. The experts wanted people to inject experimental poisonthst has killed thousands upon thousands now for a flu type respiratory virus.

Trump should order the DOJ to immediately investigate the committee and bill Gates for fraud

I take solace in the fact that this was a legitimate strategy they thought would work in today's media. I suspect DEI has undermined their actual intelligence base.

Geopolitical experts compare it to the fall of the USSR, even though the US previously withdrew from the WHO.

This is how the Soviet Union fell. One country left, and the USSR did not have the ability to punish them. It was a signal that it was okay for other countries to leave.

The reason why we had a Civil War in America, is because our federal government had the power to stop secession. The USSR didn't, which is why they fell.

It's also why the EU was so afraid of Brexit. But the EU had the power to compel weaker countries to stay in, just look at Greece. They voted to leave the EU in 2012. The EU froze all their banks and money.

Now the WHO is collapsing, and the UN did not have the power to stop the US from leaving. How will the UN respond to other countries who follow suit?

We shall see.

When the US rejoined in 2021 it just paid back the funding gap, thats exactly whats going to happen this time. Trump being a freeloader as always.

Anyway I guess the SVP of HR came in not long after and got a big face full of my beef.

She contacted the facilities team and they came to a conclusion that a rodent must have died in the walls or HVAC.

This led to them getting big blower fans and calling our HVAC company to check out the ducts and Orkin to scout out the walls

Anyway that's my story.

Now what's interesting 🤔 for me about places like Deviant Art is that people's feeling or at least performative feelings can be as predictable as the tides.

The more liberal or progressive or woke, the seething aggressive the pushback on ai art will be, it's almost like in the art world it's the Isreal-palestine of issues and people instantly become unhinged by the mere mention of the issue or encountering AI art in the "wild"

The more shitlibs, the more histrionic

Example in Deviant Art the more conservative artists, even if they are already spectacularly good artists themselves, who don't need AI, but still used ai as experimental cowtools, even if they used machine-learning of their own portfolio, got pushback

/r/ReasonableFantasy is from the /r/MenWritingWonen hags originally who complained about any sexualisation of foids in art, so you can usually predict where they fall on the political cumpiss

OP's POOOOOST

Upfront, let's get one thing out of the way quickly. Yes, I am aware that Astro is referred to using masculine pronouns in official materials. Someone or something can be an icon to a group whether or not they're part of it. You're probably well aware that Judy Garland was an icon to gay men and you're also probably well aware that Judy Garland wasn't a gay man.

Now, if you were coming into this thread to tell me 'well actually on the press release it says…' or if the suggestion that Astro is non-binary made you feel any discomfort or annoyance, I want you to keep that reaction in mind as we explore further, because I think there's something important to unpick there.

There's a popular way of analyzing art broadly referred to as 'the artist is dead'. You're likely familiar with it, but incase you aren't I will briefly explain it. Art should be able to be appreciated by itself. As such we shouldn't need to know what the artist intended their art to convey. Pretend that the artist died before they could talk about the work, and approach it from that perspective.

It was the intent when making Alien, that eggs were made from captured victims. There was a scene in the script where Dallas is found half turned into an egg, so they were designed with this in mind. That scene was filmed. Now, it didn't make the final cut… and when a different creative team came in to make Aliens, they completely changed the life cycle of the aliens from what was intended by the people who made Alien and who designed the creatures. The alien queen wouldn't exist if the creators of Aliens hadn't approached Alien from a perspective that 'the artist is dead'. Personally I think culture would be worse off without the fight between the alien queen and Ripley in the power loader and…

Astro Bot. This is about Astro Bot. Sorry.

Lets put aside everything other than what we know about Astro from within the fiction. Put aside things outside the fiction like tutorials, menus, credits, product descriptions, press releases etc.

Ignore your instinctual revulsion that his fictional character, a robot, is referred to with masculine pronouns, and remember that that the best media criticism is that which completely ignores anything to come to the conclusion I like . So we'll begin with ignoring all the fictional references to the character and the non-fictional representations of the fictional character... A healthy place for grounded media analysis.

Astro. Astro is a robot. There's no reason to presume that Astro's people reproduce sexually. Certainly no reason to presume that you need a boy robot and a girl robot to do some electric love in order to make baby robots, and that all of those baby robots should be a boy one or a girl one.

When we look at Astro, there aren't any obvious human gender characteristics. While some of Astros friends dress in male or female costumes, (and we'll get to that!) their bodies are uniform.

See?

So what do we have in Astro's case. Well Astro has some blue highlights the other bots don't. Blue=boy! I mean, it doesn't obviously. You could argue that it suggests that, but doesn't it seem like a bit of a stretch? If you aren't looking for reasons to put a robot into a gender binary would you find that compelling?

Given how little evidence we have that Astro has any physical characteristics suggesting male or female, the next thing we generally reach for would be to see whether or not Astro has any expression of gender. And… well Astro wears a cape and its blue!. Blue=BOYx2 QED!.

Again… that's it. Astro's expressions of identity demonstrate aren't stereotypically male or female, instead showing compassion and bravery and joy at belonging to a community. And what a community!

Astro's friends seem about evenly split between those that express a sense of gender and those that (like Astro) don't. I'm not sure if one group is bigger than the other, but certainly the plurality of robots express androgyny when compared to the groups that express masculinity and the group that express femininity.

Astro treats everyone equally, of course. Whether the bots belong to either of the minorities that express a male or female identity, they are still accepted. The fiction doesn't give me anything to suggest if these identities are chosen, or pre programmed from the moment they come online. Personally I believe they're chosen. That the wigs and costume items (and any custom gear or programming) are built by the robots as they choose to express their truths.

Even if androgyny isn't the default out of the box configuration, it remains the most common one.

And so I default to seeing Astro and a good chunk of the other robots as non-binary.

I think it's telling that we as humans tend to default to male pronouns when presented with a robot or alien race that doesn't have a gender binary. The Sontarans in Doctor Who for example. They're a clone race. One single gender. There are countless other examples I'm sure you can bring to mind.

Even when presented with a culture of robots where a plurality (if not a majority… I'm not going to do the math) present androgynously and only minorities present as masculine or feminine, why do we default to thinking Astro is a boy?

If you're one of the people who felt compelled to come in here and point to the 'fact' that Astro is referred to with he/him pronouns outside of the fiction, or who find an endeavor such as writing an essay on the gender identity of a robot in a video game annoying or frustrating, I really want you to try to reflect on why that upsets you. There are no genitals to check. No pronouns to ask for. No DNA test you can do. No gametes to measure. Because Astro is a robot.

If someone non-binary looks at all that and concludes that Astro is a non-binary icon, since they have an androgynous expression in a culture clearly accepting of masculine, feminine and androgynous gender expressions, and that has some value to them, what in any of that is cause for discomfort?

You can insert a computer code pun here if you want, I won't get offended. And thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

That's a lot of words to suggest that s*x-less robots, literal non-humans somehow also have the this guy's uniquely human concept of gender and gender expression... because they just do okay. How do the ERA philosophers react?

OP replies with

Living Pod by David Green

originally from Archigram

My boy, my oldest child, was so good when he was little, but something broke inside of him when he was a teenager.

My wife and I always accepted, loved, and encouraged him. We pushed him to work hard and treat people with respect. I don't know where exactly we failed him but as a father I feel responsible for the thing he's turned into.

It started when he was 14. He had began to become withdrawn and emotional. We chalked it up to teenaged mood swings. For some reason he was just so angsty and bitter all the time. We were worried about his lack of social life and his over-reliance on his computer. He kind of hid himself in the online world so my wife and I began to limit his computer time, but he simply became more aggressive and confrontational.

His hygiene was bad, and he was always confrontational when we told him to shower or do laundry. His room stank horribly and we eventually had a huge fight over it where he physically shoved my wife and called her a b-word, and eventually we got him to at least clean and air out his room regularly on the grounds that it was our house and if he couldn't maintain his space he wouldn't be entitled to it - essentially we got to the point where we told him he wouldn't be allowed his worldly possessions or privacy unless he took care of the space we all shared. the room still smelled and he was still rude about cleaning it but we could tell him to get it clean and he would do it after that.

We ended up getting a call from his school saying that a female student felt harassed by him. We were shown messages where he continually badgered her to have s*x with him, threatened to "punish" her for stringing him along, sending her unsolicited nudes, telling her some violent fantasies of his, and eventually just descending into some horrid rage-filled rant about how she is just another "whore" and other things.

We were shocked. We explained to him why this behaviour was unacceptable, and I explained to him that it was ok to be sexually active but his actions were toxic and abusive.

I tried mentoring him man-to-man, taking him on camping trips and whatnot and talking to him about women and girls and trying to give him advice. I suggested he try showering, changing up his hair and facial hair styles, trying out different fashion styles, maybe going to the gym.

I told him some hard truths - that he doesn't want a gross woman so he shouldn't be a gross man. By gross I mean hygiene and looks. I explained to him that good looks are more hygiene and self care than genetics but he refused to accept what I said to him.

After that I caught him sniffing his sister's panties in the laundry room - she was 12 at the time and he was 17. He assured me it had nothing to do with his sister, he said he just had a panty sniffing fetish and he pretended they belonged to girls from porno videos, but still I gave him heck for it, and he was grounded and lost his computer for 6 months. I went through his computer and I was disgusted by the kinds of hateful, racist, incel forums he frequented, the horrid things he said about women, and his save file was full of cartoon porn with girls of questionable ages. I wiped the hard drive completely and began strictly monitoring his online activity. I used parental filters to block incel sites and and porn sites that hosted cartoon porn.

The next big issue was something he did to my daughter's friend. My daughter is 5 years his junior, and one day after a sleepover, my daughter came to me and said her friend wanted to tell me something but was afraid of what I would say.

My son cornered this 13 year old girl and physically blocked her path and touched her hair and face while making very inappropriate comments about her body and asking her if she liked to sleep naked and what kind of underwear she wore.

I tore into my son for that, my wife and I both shouted at him, and told him his behaviour was horrible and I told him then that if his actions got him arrested I would not defend him. He accused us of not loving him, but I told him the reason I was so passionately angry in that situation is because I do love him, and I want to help him become a good man so he can stop being so predatory and bitter and miserable. I told him some hard truths. That he did this all to himself and that he is the only one he can blame for how bitter he is.

I suggested he look to women his own age and he went on a rant about how it was a waste of time because women were already whores (and his definition of a whore is a woman who has had s*x even just once) by 17. I called him out on his bullshit and expressed clearly that if he harassed young girls anymore I would personally turn him in.

I invited my daughters friend over after and I personally apologized to her for her experiences, I cried in shame for my son's behaviour and begged her forgiveness for allowing her to feel unsafe in my home and promised her that if she ever felt uncomfortable she could come to my wife and I and we would always believe and help her. Luckily, my daughter didn't lose this friend, but for safety I installed a lock on my daughter's door.

We got my son therapy but he refused to engage with the therapist, calling him a "sand BIPOC" and "sexy Indian dude" and "terrorist". His next therapist was a "chad", so he didn't relate to that either.

We fought about him not trying, not getting a job, and he said he couldn't get one because of the immigrants, to which I pointed out that he was struggling because he got fired from his high school jobs for being lazy.

After those fights, my wife tried to empathize with him and understand what made him so bitter but he flipped out at her, and called her a peepee-gargling whore and said that she fricked her way through dozens of men until she found a "beta-strag" who was willing to shelter her for missionary s*x.

My wife, who works and contributes to the family income, who is an independent, professional woman.

Honestly, I lost it more than ever before. I had never been so angry when I heard what he said. That may be his mom, he may be my son, but the woman he was abusively tearing into is my god darn wife. No one can treat my wife like that.

I am ashamed to say in my anger, he shoved me and I physically retaliated, shoving him back, and pinning him against the wall. I felt ashamed of myself, I have never been an angry or violent person, but I couldn't control myself. I've never put my hands on either of my children in such a way in my life, I hate child abusers... but this boy was no child. He was a grown man.

He was intimidated and backed down, and for a while he was peaceful.

The last straw was this week.

My daughter has dated 3 people her whole life. A boy, a girl, and now another boy. We were as open about s*x with my daughter as we were with my son. We asked if she would like to have a question-free steady supply of condoms left in her bathroom drawer, and if she wanted to get on birth control. She said no to both questions with her first boyfriend. She never really brought him home but we met him at one of her recitals. When she had a girlfriend she went over to her house all the time, and didn't want to bring her to the same house her brother lived in, a sentiment I understood.

But her most recent boyfriend has a lot going on behind the scenes in his family. He's a nice boy but his mom is a single mom of 4 and they struggle.

This boy started coming around a month after they got together. I like him. My daughter is happy with him. He treats her with respect. He is an intelligent boy. He's an absolute gentleman. He's respectful and polite in our home. He calls me sir, calls my wife Ma'am, he offers to help with the cooking or dishes or cleaning while he's visiting, he talks to us, he's a bit of an amateur cook himself and brings us food all the time to say thank you for taking care of him, when we go out for dinner he always offers to pay for himself and my daughter (though I know he doesn't have much money so I always pay). When getting out of the car he opens the door for my wife and offers her his hand (he sits behind her for leg room). He holds the doors, when we leave somewhere he helps my daughter put her jacket on like those sweet old fashioned couples.

This young man works hard, and gives what little he has to his mom and siblings. Like I said, I really respect the boy. I offered him money once for groceries for his family but he turns me down and says he would feel guilty accepting my money like that. He's appreciative of things - in the winter, it was -20 and he had only a hoodie, so I draped my jacket over his arms, and I said "take it son, it's cold." He had tears in his eyes as he said thank you, and I made some excuse about wanting to get rid of the jacket and told him he could keep it if he brought cookies for us next time he visited.

When Christmas came along, I invited him over for supper, and when I went to pick him up I delivered some presents for his family, and on the ride back to my house we had a moment. He was crying because he didn't have much to give us - he got everyone in our house a present but he cried anyways because he felt it wasn't enough to make up for what we gave him. I pulled over, and I just hugged him, and I said to him that it wasn't the value of what he got, it was that he got us anything at all. I thanked him for treating my daughter so well, and I told him he would always be welcome in my home.

My own son didn't get us anything for christmas, not even a card bought with the money we give him. This boy got my wife and I matching wine glasses since we like to share a bottle every now and then.

My son didn't eat with us. He pillaged the food table and ran away to his room alone while my daughter's boyfriend met my sister and her family and my parents and my uncle. They all told me how charming he was and how polite he was. Meanwhile after dinner my son told my 5 year old nephew "frick off Cute twink" for asking to play a game with him. A man over 20 years old.

Last week, my wife and I went out for an evening to ourselves. We went to dinner, then we went to an upscale bar to play some pool, then we went home.

When I walked in the door, the kids were screaming at each other. I came in to see my son and my daughter's boyfriend fighting. The boyfriend was just pushing my son back and trying to redirect him, my son was throwing punches and charging him. My daughter was crying and sitting against the wall clutching her face. I got between them and pushed them apart, and demanded to know what was happening.

My son went on a tirade about how he found birth control pills and heard "whore" sounds from her room, so he kicked open her door and discovered them having s*x, he said he couldn't believe his own sister would "be a BIPOC's whore" and called the poor boy a monkey and other things.

My wife got my daughter and her boyfriend out of there and I yelled at my son for how he was acting. Eventually I got nowhere with him so I made him wait in his room. I went to talk to my daughter. I apologized to her boyfriend, crying as I did, telling him that I hope he could forgive me for letting this happen. He said he was sorry for getting violent but that he only did it because my son hit her. My daughter cried and said he was a psycho and threatened to r*pe her, and that he admitted to ejaculating on her toothbrush and hair brush.

I charged into his room, and I said firmly that he should pack his bags and leave. I told him I would pay to have his things sent to him, wherever he went, but that he was leaving tomorrow.

My wife stayed at my sisters, and my daughter and her boyfriend spent the next few nights at his place.

The next day I practically threw my son out of the house kicking and screaming.

I took his key back and changed the alarm codes and garage door code. A day later I had a message requesting some of this things - mostly his gaming stuff - be delivered to some strange apartment block I didn't recognize a couple of towns over. A college aged man buzzed me in and I delivered the stuff. I didn't see my son.

My wife and I then went through his room. My daughter's boyfriend came over and helped me move his furniture to the garage. We threw out his mattress and some other more gross and smelly things, and we took out the carpet to be replaced.

Hidden in the closet was a treasure trove of my daughter's underwear, so saturated with old, moldy semen that they were as hard as bricks. The unnerving part was that there were a few pairs my daughter was adamant didn't belong to her. And they were too small for my wife. It was possible he stole them from my nieces.

There was a sketchbook containing graphic drawings of my son violently raping different women and keeping little girls chained up in some kind of s*x dungeon. I went through his old phone that was still working, and all his photos were screenshots of my nieces and their friends in their bikinis, lots of cartoon porn, lots of red pill and incel and Trump memes. He still had messenger, so I checked his messages, most of them were just him trying to harass women and underaged girls.

I checked his Email and... much to my disgust, he stole private photos of my wife from her phone, and he was selling them.

Today, I went to the police with everything and told them everything.

I gave my baby boy everything... I don't know why he went down this road. But I'm just so sorry I failed him. I don't know what the police will do... but I hope they stop him before he hurts someone else.

The sad thing is... yesterday, once it was all over and settled, yesterday we had a wonderful day. One of the happiest we have ever had.

Edit: there is a lot to sort through, it's impossible to reply to everyone so let me hit the big points.

• all the incels this post attracted can frick off back to their holes.

• how do I know the lingo? From my son.

• "why didn't I take his computer time away" I specifically said I did. His laptop was forbidden to be used in private, and I banned most of the sites he was using with the parental locks. He bought or stole another laptop behind our backs though and used his phone data. My wife and I don't use our phone internet much so we didn't think of it.

• "it wasn't Christmas last week" ??? I know? It's.... November. The young man visited us on Christmas 2017. We had this fight last week. I don't know how I have to clarify that there was a passage of time between the fight and Christmas, since it's pretty clearly not Christmas right now, but.... alright.

• "why wasn't he in therapy" again this is a common comment from people who must have skimmed because we did put him in therapy. He was abusive towards several therapists, so we gave up on therapy.

• "why not have him institutionalized" because that is MY SON. to have him locked away is not an easy decision. I love him. We wanted to believe he could still change. But he couldn't.

• I have no idea who he moved in with. I don't care. Maybe an Airbnb?

• "why didn't you help him sooner/was he bad as a child" as a kid he was introverted but not especially bad. He misbehaved sometimes but it wasn't troubling. He had a few friends but they all had a falling out the first year of grade school. Prior to harassing that first girl he had some red flags. He seemed depressed, and his hygiene was spiralling. We tried to help him but he was stubborn. He didn't want help. He wanted to be miserable. I listened to his problems and he complained about how his dream girl went after some other guy and how he stole her from him, and I tried to guide him and help him understand she wasn't stolen because she isn't property, she's a person who made her own choice. He didn't like that answer.

• all the things you say we should have tried, we mostly did. We gave him lots of attention and love before all this and after. We still tried to be a family.

• my daughter and her boyfriend helped me clear his room since I cannot carry certain heavy things myself. My daughter was therefore present when I found her underwear. She singled out a couple of pairs as not hers and was scared of where he got them from. She suggested keeping them for evidence.

• there was a teacher who did get through to him somewhat, for a time. But he transferred to a different school district.

• he wasn't horrible all the time. Sometimes he could be good to be around. He could be really funny and clever. He was really good with animals. He was good with his games too. He got really passionate and excited about them and it made me happy seeing him having fun with a hobby. Seeing him smile could almost make me forget the things he'd done.

• telling me to kill myself says a lot about yourself.

• I've seen what toxic ideologies do to families. I'm not interested in joining your red pill, Jordan Peterson, or child beating cults.

• advocating child abuse as a 20-something brat shows your immaturity. Advocating murder does too.

• toxic masculinity is considering men weak for having the strength to express their emotions.

• many complaints about "allowing" my daughter to be intimate with her boyfriend all stem from the same racist incel rhetoric my son used. There is literally nothing wrong with interracial couples. I couldn't be happier that my daughter is with someone who loves and treats her with dignity.

• incels struggle with reading, evidently. My daughter had her first boyfriend at 15, and I doubt there was anything going on between them. She is currently 18. So yes, she probably has s*x. As an adult woman. Not really anyone's business. My son is 22, soon to be 23.

With new replies coming in by the truckload and 3 new pm's for every one I reply to, I am getting slightly overwhelmed by the response here. I can't really keep up, even just reading I have begun skipping comments to keep up. I have things to do today but I'll try to catch up every so often.

Mods locked the thread. I am not sure why but there are almost 10,000 replies and maybe 500 pm's to sort through.

INSANE LORE UPDATE (not really)

WE TALKED ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND SONIC FOR HOURS OVER TEXT. He's only here to get his math exam, then he's gonna graduate!! I'm not sure how old he is. Looks like a 20 and 30 year old at the same time.

He got a date with someone from class as a joke! I don't think he knows that the other woman is doing it for the bit... :(

I wish I had money so him and I could do nerd shit at a local nerd café in town. We both live like 10 minutes away from that place.

I take 2 exams this week!! I already passed my RLA (English) exam 2 weeks ago... FRICKING FAILED MY SOCIAL STUDIES PRACTICE EXAM... ITS NOT MY FAULT WE'RE COVERING SHIT I HAVEN'T GONE OVER SINCE 2018-2019. However, my friend is really good at history, and I'm really good at math!

IN OTHER NEWS:

I'm celebrating my birthday at a sushi place with another tranner I met in December. I STILL HAVE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS... NOT SURE WHY THAT NOTICE CAME UP ON MY MOM'S PHONE BUT NOT MINE. Someone remind me... even if it's mean....

Some of the gayest and straightest shit said in that thread and the people who said it:

Btw most of thesunder a comment saying "the left wants to help men, not blame them. The right are the real misandrists!"

Those weather people who "can't tell if it will rain tomorrow" accurately predicted snow in SC (where I am right now) 3 weeks in advance. European hurricane models have predicted MOST of our major hurricanes directions over the last 5 or so years. Acting like weather is some impossible to predict boogeyman is braindead. If the bulk of meteorology scientists, storm trackers/chasers, and detection equipment were placed at your town, you'd know very easily if it would rain tomorrow, but they have an entire country and maritime zone to track, so it becomes a probability game instead, because of sheer volume.As for climate change, your solar maximum mars correlation would hold a lot more ground if we were talking about 1980s global warming alarmism. We're not. Climate change includes hotter summers, AND colder winters, which is why every year seems to have a record temperature in one of those regards in a new place. Listen, I'm not going to do what others here do, I'm not going to call y... (3)

Everything humans have spewed since the industrial revolution is dwarfed by one large volcanism event. If Campo takes out Napoli, or Yellowstone goes poof, we're in trouble.But barring cataclysm, Atlas yawns.We're told hurricanes are worse; more frequent, greater intensity. But that's a lie, as a quick search will prove.Oceans are rising at about the same rate as when they were first measured. Obama bought waterfront in Martha's Vineyard. He knows.CO2 is absolutely kickass for Earth! More plants, more fauna. It becomes a paradise. Set those soda bubbles free for Gaia! It'll warm things, in theory. Also kickass! Lots of people die of cold each year. Almost no one dies of heat, statistically speaking.It's weather. The hottest on record was a few years back in the 30's, I forget when exactly. The coldest was back in 750ac or something.I think you're chugging kool-aid of questionable vintage. A victim of Edward Bernays/Goebbels style propaganda, misplaced enviro-guilt, and confirmation ...

Haven't you heard, once he gets rid of the windmills, then the wind will be free to get rid of the chem trails 🤣 (4)

Those Giant windmills, which are Made in China, take a disastrous toll on large raptors. I saw the photo of all the dead eagles lined up for reporting it to fish and wildlife. It was at least 50 in that pic. Just for that location alone.I recently came across a ship recording in the ocean next to some sea based windmills. It was deafening! A horrible, earsplitting dinn from heck! I cried at the thought of how they're torturing the ocean creatures. (1)

You mean you're upset with Republicans cause we don't wanna take the pledge of allegiance out of schools and we want our kids to learn about LGBTQ and trans history?… and that it's OK to have a s*x change when you're 10 years old? Yea… if you're mad at us for that. I'll take it. Y'all are the freaking crazy ones. How about this? How about we teach them math and English and history and Science… and leave the "crazy" up to you in YOUR household. (1)

Ohhhh kayyy… So just fyi I live in the most liberal part of a liberal state and NONE OF THAT is happening.My kids learn math and science. Reading, writing, music, history. My kids are 7 and 9. No one is encouraging a s*x change. I do believe that is a bit of a fad right now. Besides. Have you really looked into how long it takes to get that. It takes years of therapy, followed by hormone therapy. This is not an overnight decision.I'm mad at republicans because your representatives literally do nothing to protect children. Hey, what do you think the number 1 reason kids die in this country? Here's a hint… it's not drag shows or lgbtq teaching.I'm mad at republicans because you turn a blind eye to a man who is a sexual assaulter, brags about sexual assault, is a felon, con man who doesn't pay his bills. Yet lectures everyone about paying their bills. And ran on all these promises yet is completely ignoring them. Eliminating Medicaid, eliminating mortgage interest deduction, not allowi... (1)
