My question is, who brings suit? You can't bring suit if you're not an injured party. The justices can't bring suit without recusing themselves. This is quite the conundrum.

Can you see the tip of your nose?

The thumb.

I struggled with quitting for about 5 years, I felt my stamina get destroyed and realized how much it was costing me financially, so I tried several times. I got panic attacks, something I never dealt with before, the last couple of times I tried. Finally about 3 or 4 years ago I smoked my last cigarette, somehow I didn't get a panic attack. I don't remember the day because in my mind, to not smoke I can't be too serious about the importance of all of it, smoking is a ritual and if I allow myself to think about dates and anniversaries around quitting it will just drive me to it again. Smoking has to be something I don't think about at all.

I still use nicotine. I'll have a cigar every now and then, I vape a little, but man there's something else going on with cigarettes. Quitting nicotine by itself is easy, even having some tobacco every now and then doesn't cause me to crave anything. I can go hours after waking up without vaping and feel nothing, whereas with cigarettes, I planned my entire day around smoking them and how many I had left. If I smoked a single one right now I'd be smoking a pack a day for who knows how long before I succeed again, I can't have a single drag off a cigarette for the rest of my life. Quitting cigarettes, even with nicotine to sate me, was hard as fucking hell. I don't know what they do to those things but they're addictive in some way beyond nicotine and it's a motherfucker.

You don't say.

The heat this summer isn't. The general trend of warming is. But they feel like to convince us they have to bullshit us about every weather event that happens.

Let me give you some examples. According to the IPCC climate change will not cause an increase in frequency or intensity of tropical storms/cyclones/hurricanes. That's the IPCC, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. That doesn't stop the propaganda machine from blaming every storm that causes some damage on climate change.

Remember that heat wave in the pacific northwest a few years ago? That was a bubble of heat caused by a geomagnetic anomaly. All studies on the phenomenon conclude that climate change that we are causing will decrease the occurrence rate of these particular phenomenon. That didn't stop the propaganda machine from blaming it on climate change.

Climate change is caused by people. Fossil fuel burning, methane emissions, all of that. The globe is getting warmer in aggregate. But instead of just educating us on it, the media continually bullshits us on it. Every deviation from a calm, smooth weather pattern is blamed on it. And it's because they view us as stupid children who need to be managed, like telling us the cop will arrest us if we turn the light on in the car. All I'm saying is, they need to stop it with that dishonesty, it only hurts them. We are adults, tell us the truth, we can be trusted with it. Tell us that the sea level is rising and that we have to reduce carbon emissions and all that, and do it without blaming el nino on climate change because you think it's expedient.

Care to share an STL for that? The modern western silverware drawer contains more than forks spoons and knives, there are soup boats, chopsticks, rice cooker scoops and all sorts of other things, compound that with the fact that the organizers on the market have to have broad utility which deminishes utility, and as a result they don't hardly work for anyone, including me. I think your organizer is perfect.

Are you thick? The food is made into food by plants from it.

Yes, but mine probably doesn't match with yours.

Rural america is not like rural Britain. Rural Britain is probably more like the outer undeveloped suburbs of a city in america. In rural america, you can go a hundred miles on a highway without seeing a single house.

I like the bike lanes and footpaths idea for rural places just as much as anywhere. I don't hate cars like a lot of the people here, but I dislike them a lot and understand why you'd want cities not designed around them, and in rural areas, other options. Busses or trains between population centers, even small ones, are great but in rural america you're not even getting to the train station without a car, and more stops doesn't solve that problem because it's so spread out and disorganized. Even 100 years ago, cities built subways and what not, rural people rode horses or if they got on a train they were going pretty far away. Public transport in places like that doesn't make any sense and didn't even before cars.

No, unless you're in engineering or medical you're winding up a barista all the same.

Those counselors who told you you'd be a loser unless you went, go for anything it doesn't matter all you need is a piece of paper, they lied.

If you're lucky, you'll get a job at a nonprofit organization, spending day in and day out trying to justify your paycheck. You'll get paid pretty good, but it comes at a cost: there will always be an empty hole you can't fill, one that is there because you'll never know the deep in your soul joy of delivering anything of value to another person.

Then, maybe one day, you'll become a manager and get to do some hiring, at which point you'll haze the potential hires by requiring them to go through the credentialism rigmarole that you went to just to prevent yourself from accepting the fact that you wasted your youth, just to make them do it because you had to. You'll become a cog in a machine that perpetrates the injustice you've suffered, the ridiculous system that requires young people to go into debt and spend their youth pretending to learn just to get a busywork job.

If you're lucky.

Prison rape.

The value add for an individual is minimal to nonexistent in electric vs gas. Not so with a horse vs a car. This guy is delusional if this isn't just hype (it is) and thinks the comparisons are comparable.
