I like that quote from that one guy complaining about a river taking away more land each year... and the primary issue with that is less parking.
WTF?
If oil is leaking into the river, and we assume they get all that oil up, there will still be damage, and there is still the tree loss. On top of the waste of destroying working stuff.
How very USAian.
I think the Johnstown flood being cause by a handful of rich assholes lowering the height of the dam so they could more easily drive to their hunting lodge has got to be up there.
We deserve to go extinct
Fuck that shit. This isnt me. I wouldn't do this. This isnt you. You wouldnt do this.
That shit absolves these fuckers of being such vile fuckers.
If these monsters are the ones in power making these decisions, then no, we aren’t doing enough.
Well, if you dont deserve to live, and you absolutely cannot be convinced otherwise; names and addresses arent hard to find for making very loud very personal statements.
I think we are devolving. More I talk to people the more I feel they lack simple knowledge. I recently spoke to someone that didn't know what the 4 step water cycle is, I fucking learned that in elementary school.
I think adding the 4 step in front may have confused them. I was only ever taught it was the water cycle it was never called the 4 step cycle, probably because water can kinda do the cycle in whatever step it wants. Some rain becomes ground water, some rain becomes runoff, some rain evaporates shortly after falling all from the same rain storm.
Nah, just the gringos that do this kind of shit
ah yes, collective punishment
We’re all enablers at this point
I am not to any significant degree, and have done wirk against this at times in my life.
BREAKING: US people who want to see things crash and burn aren't looking around!
I get the cringe value of some destruction derby stuff when there's at least some show, but there's none of any dumb fun in just dumping vehicles down.
I would be on board with this if we would just finish the job and throw the rest of the cars off a cliff too.
I remember hearing about this. Its like you want people to know about this. I can't imagine that modern young folks in the area find this great.
You know, at least in my area, when they wheel a vehicle out onto the ice in winter to gamble about when it’ll fall through in spring, they strip out all the fuel lines and interiors and stuff and just leave the shit frame, and the cars themselves don’t work prior to being selected for this. I’m pretty sure they also retrieve them afterwards.
Could they do something better with the thing? Almost certainly. But at least it’s not… as bad as launching fully functional cars into a river just for funsies..
Why the hell does your area just regularly let a car break through the ice?
