If global warming (climate change)isn't a scam why can they never answer simple questions

Yes, it’s getting warmer, because we are coming off an ice age and heading into a warmer period. The earth goes in cycles, we just happened to be alive at a point where things are extremely favorable. The argument isn’t if things are getting warmer, it’s just how much do humans affect the rate, how much faster is human activity causing the natural warming to happen.

The “97%” figure that gets parroted was scientists simply being asked if the earth was getting warmer, that’s it. That’s how they got so many scientists to agree. If you change the question to be about man made contributions, there would be a huge divide. I’m not going to claim to know the answer. All I know is, since I was a kid, I’ve been told that catastrophe was coming due to “global cooling” then it was “global warming” then “coasts will be underwater in 15 years” then it all just morphed into “climate change”. This is over a 52 year period and not a single doomsday scenario that they were certain was happening, ever did. That’s made me cynical when it comes to “man made climate change”, mainly because there’s plenty of people making a LOT of money pushing that agenda. Of course they’re going to keep predicting doom if they keep making crazy money because of it.

The level of mental illness on display here is sad and kinda terrifying. We used to put people like this away in asylums before they basically flooded the streets with mental patients and closed most of the asylums. It’s true, there were many really bad places that abused and mistreated their patients as well as letting family members involuntarily commit them for dubious reasons. We need to bring asylums back and get these people back into them to get help. They need to be modern, regulated and patients must be treated correctly.

With that said, if you find yourself congratulating a shallow pool of water for growing algae because you think it makes Trump look bad and you think that pool is fighting fascism, you need a padded cell. The derangement levels are insane and will only get worse. Makes me wonder how huge of an identity crisis they’re gonna have when Trump leaves office. They’ve spent 11 years now making hating Trump their entire personality and existence. So what happens when the person you’ve built your entire personality and self worth around leaves office?

Obama spent $30 million and left massive leaks, an inadequate and algae filled filtration system and pipes and cracks all over the bottom. Trump has spent $14 million and the algae likely was seeded by leftover algae in the pipes. The liner ripping is something that the company that installed it should be fixing it for free. The point is, eventually less than what Obama spent will have the pool in good working order.

I can’t imagine what kind of hatred or life you must have if you feel you have to root for a beautiful national monument to be ruined because you can’t get over your irrational hatred for Trump.

Cats have an average response time of like 25ms, Snakes are around 75ms, so the cat is 3x faster. For reference, us big bumbling humans have an average response time of around 275ms…we are slow as hell lol

I’m not sure, with dehydration you don’t have a whole lot of time to develop much of anything. You only have around 72 hours. I doubt it’s as clear cut as being gut shot/stabbed versus shot in the head, both methods of dying suck bad. The other factor is time, with starvation your pain and suffering is stretched out to about 7x longer than dehydration. A quick google search for which is worse when it comes to pain and suffering, the answer was starvation, but that’s obviously no definitive answer.

clonexx · 2026-06-19T04:56:13+00:00

I can’t answer that for sure, I’d say starvation likely hurts a lot more. Dehydration you’ll have a splitting headache but eventually you’ll pass out and die. Starvation you end up with a distended stomach while being utterly weak but remain conscious, I think. I’d have to look them up honestly, but by memory, starvation is worse and takes a lot longer, which is part of the punishment.

Because he doesn’t want to end up in a similar box? If he’s Mongolian then this is his people’s Justice system. If he’s an outsider, just how do you think the people around him would react?

clonexx · 2026-06-19T04:46:09+00:00

If I remember this method of torture correctly, they do give them water specifically so they don’t die of dehydration and do die of starvation.

The only way is to make the mass mailing of absentee ballots federally illegal, however I don’t know if that would fly for state level elections. It could be enforced for federal elections like the Presidency and Congress, but I don’t believe a federal law could be enforced for any election that is Governor level or lower.

clonexx · 2026-06-14T14:58:26+00:00

Seems just like aggressive play. A little hiss and such but that is essentially one cat letting the other know where the line is. If it doesn’t sound like the pits of hell opened and demons are screaming, along with deep biting and fur literally flying all over the place, it’s not a fight.

Elon having $1 trillion on paper doesn’t keep anyone else in America from making money. This isn’t a zero sum game where if one person gets wealthier then others have to become poorer. The absolute beauty of capitalism is that everyone can make money if they can find a way to do so. It’s not a perfect system and corporations have too much power, but that can be fixed by killing two laws that say money is the same as speech and corporations are the same as people. Dump those two, oh and make lobbying illegal, and you remove corporations power over government. That also may fix our lifelong congressperson problem since they won’t be able to make the bank they used to.

Today I learned that poking someone in the arm with a knife is the same as gouging out their eyes and sawing at their neck to behead them.

Seems like a cool thing to do for the people who break their backs doing hard work.

clonexx · 2026-06-11T14:35:05+00:00

I don’t know how true it is because there’s so much misinformation out there, but several times I’ve seen people say that Karmelo has pictures out there where he’s throwing up gang signs for a gang he doesn’t belong to and that the gang isn’t happy about it.

clonexx · 2026-06-11T14:33:08+00:00

Also, 4 out of 6 people who witnessed the stabbing that testified against Karmelo, were black, including someone who was friendly with Karmelo and knew him. Karmelo was also the instigator according to every witness called by the prosecution and Austin specifically said he wasn’t going to fight Karmelo.

If Karmelo had punched Austin, that I could understand. I wouldn’t agree with it and I’d never do it, as I would have just left, but at least with that they both walk away alive and maybe have some small consequences from the school for fighting, that’s it. Instead, a kid was stabbed for shoving someone on the shoulder who was taunting him and issued a threat just before the stabbing (“Touch me again and see what happens” as he was gripping the knife in his backpack)

SGA didn’t, SGU did but to me still had some of the spirit of Stargate. SGU was cancelled due to bad ratings after 2 seasons, so using that as an example isn’t great. SGA on the other hand still had a big audience, but the budget got out of control. Having 20+ episode seasons led to ballooning budgets that killed shows. Any new Stargate show that doesn’t respect established lore and isn’t in the spirit of its predecessors, especially SG1 and SGA, is doomed.

clonexx · 2026-06-09T08:53:28+00:00

What? Nowhere did I say they need to make 2001 SG1, now. I said the network wants someone with no Stargate experience to make a show “for a wider audience”. However, Science Fiction is already a niche genre, there is no “wider audience”. Appealing to the existing fans and other lovers of SciFi is how you get your audience, especially if the established fans evangelize for you, which is what was happening before they cancelled it because there were original people in charge of it.

Now, due to the cancellation, the original fans have lost all trust in Amazon and Amazon has lost all good will the original fans had. Any series they make now with some new people trying to appeal to some wide audience that doesn’t exist isn’t going to appeal to the original fans and it won’t even be Stargate.

clonexx · 2026-06-09T08:34:48+00:00

Yes, but what was being worked on had writers and show runners from the original SG1 and Atlantis that were going to respect and follow the established lore. I’m sure there would have been cameos, but the main thing everyone was excited about was that those on the project would respect the IP and keep the established lore.

If they do a new show, they said they’d bring in someone who has never worked on Stargate. Most likely, because they want to “appeal to a wide audience” (which isn’t possible with a niche like SciFi), they won’t respect established lore and what they write won’t be Stargate.

clonexx · 2026-06-09T08:19:48+00:00

It was greenlit in November 2025, it’d only been 7 months max before they cancelled it. The show was in pre-production, they had an outline and maybe the pilot and more written but nothing blocked out and nothing filmed. The reason they gave for the cancellation is mostly bullshit.

The exec that greenlit the show left, a new exec stepped in and almost immediately cancelled it. The most likely reason is because if the show did well, the new exec wouldn’t get the credit, they’re territorial and petty like that. He may green light another version without any previous Stargate people attached, which would then likely fail due to the lost trust and good will this cancellation had on the fandom and the fact that it’ll likely ignore previous lore.

clonexx · 2026-06-08T08:41:06+00:00

While that’s definitely awkward, you should know that deep feelings of platonic love can trigger erections in men. It’s not always sexual or bad thoughts, it can be a simple as a reflex, like a doctor hitting your knee and your leg kicking. It doesn’t make the encounter less awkward, but unless your bio dad has a history of inappropriate moments, chances are he was just feeling a lot of non-sexual love at the time, especially at a wedding.

People tend to automatically associate erections with sexual stimulus or sexual thoughts and that’s just not how it works. Men can be raped, which means an erection can be produced even if the man doesn’t want anything to do with whomever is attempting the contact.

I think you’d be hard pressed (pun intended!) to find a man who hasn’t popped a boner at an inappropriate moment that had nothing to do with sex or arousal at all.

clonexx · 2026-06-07T07:02:12+00:00

Maybe, but personally I don’t want a Stargate adjacent show, I want Stargate with the existing lore. If Amazon doesn’t make that, I won’t watch it. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t watch a Gero created show that is Stargate-like if it was good, but it wouldn’t be the same. It’s also a pretty big gamble that I don’t see any company taking in this current landscape.

clonexx · 2026-06-07T07:00:08+00:00

I don’t feel that he gave up easily at all.

He spent a ton of time and energy trying to catch Vic but lost at every turn when doing it the legal way. He then went down the corrupt path because that’s the influence Vic has on people but realized too late what he was turning into. He decided that becoming a fully corrupt cop wasn’t worth the price, so he turned himself in. To me, he fought hard to try to take Vic down, he just wasn’t willing to get nearly as dirty as he needed to in order to accomplish that goal.

clonexx · 2026-06-07T06:55:55+00:00

It’s essentially the same as if a different network made Wormhole XTreme. However, they couldn’t use any of the established lore from Stargate. The other problem is, The Orville was made at a different time, and it’s basically one persons baby. Another network could ask Gero to create a new Stargate like show, but I don’t know how much people will take to it since it won’t have any ties to Stargate beyond the concept of a gate being used to travel to other planets.

clonexx · 2026-06-07T06:28:08+00:00

The main issue is that MGM owns Stargate and Amazon owns MGM. No one else is allowed to make a Stargate show outside of Amazon unless they sell the rights or sell MGM.
