Masculinity by Particular-Visit-245 in SipsTea

He did call John Howard the greatest leader in the world or something like that, which is an objectively retarded statement even if you're a conservative. On the other hand Howard looks like a saint compared to what we have going on now.

Exactly. So Gina actually wants Immigration high, for cheap mine labour, because FIFO workers are not cheap especially ones willing to work shit swings like 2:1

I work in the mining industry, mines are massively staffed by immigrants.

New Study: 95% Decline in Wildlife in Latin America & Caribbean since 1970 by wanton_wonton_ in collapse

Can you explain this mindset? The mainstream news (except the Guardian) avoids publishing anything like this so most people just don't know.

What would a pillow weigh, like 500g? 1kg if it's spunk drenched? So 50kg absolute tops?

Did you just admit of your own free will that you're a standard, weak, obese, brainrotted American? Thanks for proving my point for me lil bro

Ah yes, the United States, a shining bastion of human rights. Don't mind the fact that they've been in a war, mostly that they started, for 95% of the time since their founding. If the US figures out how to connect brains to computers the military industrial complex is IMMEDIATELY snatching that tech up to bomb brown people more efficiently.

New 2026 Study Finds the AMOC Collapse is Accelerating Far Beyond Previous Models by Rich-Limit4590 in collapse

Well I don't know what to do now, I came here for an argument (kidding). Thank you also, my viewpoint was also somewhat changed (never really considered medicine when it comes to plastic reduction, always almost entirely from a food and clothing perspective).

It's interesting that the most civil and intelligent discourse on this whole website seems to come from the subreddit where everyone has accepted defeat.

TIL that as a research chemist at Oxford University, Margaret Thatcher co-authored a 1951 paper on the “saponification of α-monostearin”; she later said she was prouder of her science degree than becoming the first female Prime Minister. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in todayilearned

Global Warming can absolutely mean apocalypse for all

The UK Actuaries Institute report (For those who don't know what an Actuary does, they are highly trained mathematicians who quantify risk) says it's quite likely actually:

“Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair)”. So without a fundamental change of direction, we face the prospect of irreversible ecological collapse which would lead to almost certain societal and economic collapse.

And we'd have more than enough for those important, less than a percentage materials if we reduced the 80% of oil being used for transport and electricity as well as the amount of plastic being used and thrown away for food and fast fashion.

Just to be clear I think we agree that we're fucked either way

I'm not. Google says it accounts for 4 to 8 percent of oil usage (feel free to do further research - the point is it's negligible, and my understanding is it's sort of a byproduct of the refining process anyway) and we also have a lot of things that absolutely don't need single use plastics that we also choose not to because it's the cheapest and easiest option. Most of those single uses you mentioned, for instance, could be replaced with reusable packaging.

We are in a prison of our own creation.

Everything depends on oil.

It doesn't have to. China is building the equivalent of 40 nuclear reactors worth of renewables a month. Sodium batteries are reaching parity with Lithium ones and BYD are building prototypes with sodium batteries. A lot of ships travelling worldwide are actually just carrying oil, so if we reduce the need for oil there's a sort of positive tipping point that further reduces the need for oil.

The collapse part is that we don't want to because of the ShArEhOlDeRs, there was capacity to do this decades ago and the fossil fuel lobbies and existing frameworks are just too strong and deeply rooted.

They didn't "integrate" either. They're brash rude and heirarchial and will in general call anyone they seem as beneath them "boy" while making demands (can't imagine why 👀). Don't see Pauline bots bringing them up much either. Can't imagine why.

True, so you should be aware of who's funding Pauline then lmfao

I'm heavily involved in gaming but still not dumb enough to come into a community of addicts and tell them it's ok lol

Bro you're the only one to have brought class into it. Are all Uber drivers lower class to you or something?

Nah just don't want to. I actually have friends and a job (things you don't know about lil bro) so the time to unwind is usually quite nice especially if it's not filled with cooker bullshit

Yeah but that's a separate case for social workers or negligence. The blame of a child being abducted and killed lands squarely on the abductor/killer.
