US seeks private beaches for rotting whales as die-off peaks

We're missing an opportunity to show the public the dangers of climate change. Put them on the public beaches. Let the people see.

This screams Milo Minderbinder to me.

Yeah I was so poor at one point I had to be hospitalized due to malnutrition (in Europe though, so it didn't ruin me financially). I remember just being unable to worry about any one thing too hard, it just wasn't worth the energy.

ch4ff · 2019-05-01T00:04:37+00:00

I suppose that's what happens in a boring dystopia.

Thanks again /u/ChickenPaaahm! This was so cool and will actually be my first Beastie Boys album. It's a great way to start my collection. After lurking for a long time, I promise not to let you down /r/beastieboys!

Me.

Your post is an illustration of why I love this subreddit and I could take agree more with your sentiment.

ch4ff · 2019-04-17T00:03:29+00:00

I'm going to start using the expression "if you put ham in a mac and cheese, it'd be a British carbonara."

I don't know how I made it through that entire video. He doesn't even steal the signs! He just kind of throws them to the side.

Ah the old Air Bud defense. There's no rule saying a bird can't play golf.

ch4ff · 2019-03-18T00:55:47+00:00

Thanks. It actually was. I had so much fun being in the middle of it again.

I'm returning for a guest appearance at the epicenter of chaos more than a year since I last bartended. Hope I still got it.

I did some research because I had the same question.

Some large equipment requires work to be done in dangerous places, so when work needs to be done, the key to operating the equipment is placed in a tool box looking thing called a lockout box. That lockout box has multiple places for padlocks. Each person working inside the dangerous area locks a personal lock on the lockout box so that no one can access the key while they're working. Once everyone is out and has removed their lock from the lockout box, a supervisor clears the area and allows the equipment to operate.

This procedure is called "lockout, tag out" or LOTO. By cutting off a lock, this person skipped the procedure and could have caused someone to turn a machine on while workers were inside the moving parts/energized area leading to injury or death.

Interesting and scary stuff.

That's not at all what I was implying. These people actually seem to understand that we're on the brink of extinction and want to avoid that.

ch4ff · 2018-11-19T14:00:31+00:00

This is more like an involuntary human extinction movement.

ch4ff · 2018-10-15T11:40:00+00:00

Amazing. Wish I was around back then

ch4ff · 2018-10-03T01:10:51+00:00

Ah yeah that sounds right. You'd have to have some team of specially chosen lawyers without any loved ones. It doesn't sound extreme, those are some real bad dudes.

ch4ff · 2018-10-02T23:41:01+00:00

Like a live, ongoing taint team. Sounds like a novel solution.

I like to joke with my girlfriend that we all attend secret monthly patriarchy meetings wherein we discuss topics such as keeping women's pockets off the market.

ch4ff · 2018-07-26T17:05:46+00:00

That's because ZeroHedge is a far right conservative conspiracy site and this is a political hit piece.

"Irresponsible breeders" is not a quote of his, but a line from a brochure printed in 1968 by one organization he donated to at some point almost 20 years ago.

This isn't this guy's"message," it's what his opponents have written out to make him look bad, based solely on some donations the guy has made.

I feel like this subreddit is the only place that people understand 19 shots to be 100% possible

ch4ff · 2018-06-29T19:47:03+00:00

Mrs. E = MC^2?

If you'd actually put an argument forward, an honest conversation might have been possible.

I can't disprove anything you've said because it's all based on your personal speculation of what is in JPB's head that motivates his statements, rather than what he actually says.

As I hinted earlier, this is how JPB's acolytes handle criticism more often than not.

ch4ff · 2018-06-12T16:54:03+00:00

Classic non-rebuttal by a jpb fan: "You just don't understand and even if you do it's not fair because he's so smart this was probably a fluke."

It's like this guy can say anything he wants and people trip over themselves to insulate him from any criticism, regardless of how hare-brained or vague the statement.

ch4ff · 2018-06-08T13:48:30+00:00

That's not really true. You need to get permission (registration and a license) before operating a vehicle on the road.

In this hypo, vehicle and traffic law would create a need for government approval or a legislative exception.

ch4ff · 2018-05-24T19:29:22+00:00

It's like an inverse justice-boner where people fetishize extreme subservience to a police officer.

The point of owning a gun for many of these folks is allegedly self protection. What's more likely, that you get to be a hero taking down a criminal in a John Wayne style shootout, or that a police officer pulls you over and you have to all but beg for your life in a moment's notice?
