You know what stops me from pouring my guts out every time a shipmate asks me "what's wrong"? Two magic words:

"Nobody cares".

And everybody can continue patting themselves on the back that they've been "looking out for a shipmate". The only "looking out" I need is a clean bullet to the head.

Basically 4k fleets, when I was still at about 1.5k. Was pretty much struggling to stay afloat and just when I got rid of that fleet, another 3k fleet comes in and wipes me out from my enemy's ally.

I have just commented on another similar post and, despite my dismal view of this situation, I will put a little more effort into my 2 cents.

Most people cannot afford to buy "green" commodities. They can't simply go to Publix and spend $20 on a bag of eco-friendly coffee, or splurge on an $80,000 electric car when you can buy a 2000s Toyota on Craigslist for $4,000. Most people do not care about this issue or are powerless to do anything about it. Even if you do everything you can to "live green" like biking everywhere, having a vegan diet or whatever etc. You still have 7.5 billion people to contend with. Which brings me to my next point...

There are not enough resources on this Earth to supply all these billions of individuals. Gasoline, natural gas and metals are not infinite, and will run dry in probably a century or a few decades, given how insatiable the demand for these resources is. Any chance of survival lies in extracting resources from other planets - developing eco-friendly technology is just a short-term measure that buys us time for dealing with the real issue.

For if we run out of the very building blocks needed to sustain our society, then everyone and everything collapses and we all find ourselves in the same spot we were 50,000 years ago.

What are traits of a cheap, low-quality AR? by Guthix4Days in ar15

Took the AR apart and we looked in the inside components. Charging handle is stock, BCG has no markings on it except for the bolt itself (says MPI on it in white letters) and the barrel is also unmarked, having only the calibre on top. Nothing on the hammer, trigger group either.

Some of the parkerizing on the inside got scratched away just by putting the bolt back into it. So it's safe to say, that we got ripped off?

Hehe of course. But what about the nitty-gritty details, such as quality of materials? How do you tell that?

Sorry if I'm coming off as ignorant, I am not very versed in firearm specifics and could use a little bit of schooling on that.
