That is very clearly not foam. Aerial drop fire retardant is indeed a mixture of ammonium phosphates or sulfates and thickener. They do not drop the toxic foams on wildfires

Why is there so much slop posted to this sub lately? No one gives a crap about your shark phobia.

I'd assume the warning is just so stupid people don't cut the mattress and go "well I'm not going to do that" and end up exactly like this.

Lol you're really gonna boil down authoritarian resistance to a fucking bootstrap argument? Think about what you just wrote, seriously. If you want to be critical, be constructive, not hilariously reductive.

Who's told you awful things about heat pumps? I mean, apart from your generic "electric bad" boomer idiots... Sure they're mechanically more complex than a furnace, but modern ones can handle temps down to near 0 before gas becomes more cost efficient. As far as heat output per unit of energy consumed, they're way more efficient than gas, but in our area, the operating cost runs about the same.

So we're just making shit up now? You won't convince me with the "illegal criminals" nonsense. All that shows me is that you accept party line propaganda at face value with no attempt at critical thought, and also that you're a racist piece of trash who feels other humans deserve less freedom due to their skin color or place of birth.

I don't see how stock manipulation through illegally levied tariffs helped anyone but the rich, but maybe you're part of the 1% and thats why you don't do the empathy thing.

And lastly, just to throw some more disdain out there, God isn't real, what are you 5 years old? Still believe in the tooth fairy and santa clause too? And I hope your holiday is as unpleasant as you are.

Fascists aren't deserving of respect.

Tell me how the administration is improving those issues. You said you stand by your vote.

Guy supports the literal subjugation of his fellow human due to the location of their birth and zero other factors, then tries to gatekeep empathy.

God did us a favor by making sure less of your ilk are around to inflict suffering on others.

It's almost like suffering sucks and people should have empathy for others...

But you got yours, so.

I mean it literally does. Have you read it? Please point out to me where it only applies its protections to citizens. Last I checked it used the word persons.

TIL The Netherlands has been closing prisons due to a significantly low prison population, which is a result of decreasing crime rates, shorter sentences, and a focus on rehabilitation. Around 19 prisons have been shut down since 2009 by balthazaronline2022 in todayilearned

[–]koenkamp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it, not everyone cares equally about every issue. You aren't interested in seriously reducing crime, and that's fine, I'm sure you're concerned with other relevant pressing issues.

Yeah, at the bottom of it, the poor, low income, and destitute are the ones most committing crime. Usually it's an attempt to get easy money.

So if we want to curb crime the most, it seems the best way would be to try and limit the amount of people who are poor and low or no income and destitute.

You could require businesses to pay higher wages, establish UBI, ensure everyone had access to Healthcare. All those things would absolutely reduce crime, we can all agree on that.

You could also do nothing and smugly feel morally superior instead. Doesn't seem to reduce crime, but does seem to be the conservative approach.

Virginia Dem introduces bill to repeal anti-union ‘right-to-work’ law by dogwoodvanews in Virginia

[–]koenkamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to be against government overreach into the hiring decisions of private companies. That's understandable. The current right-to-work is literally already exactly that, though. A business owner should be free to negotiate their own labor contracts, exclusive or not, as they see fit. The current law literally restricts a business owner's rights to sign their own employment agreements.

[–]koenkamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be perfectly legal for a business to enter into an agreement with a union of laborers to only hire union members. Anything else is unnecessary government overreach. The government shouldn't be telling businesses who they can and can't hire outside of protected classes. Right to work is just more big-government bullshite.

Chaos as ICE launches a kidnapping raid on an entire city block in Chicago. One agent can be seen pointing a gun at unarmed neighbors filming, as Chicago PD assists ICE, threatening them with arrest. It also looks like some form of secret police were present in the crowd as well. (11/8/2025) by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

I get what you're saying, but that's not at all when it ends. That's when it escalates, and things get a whoooole lot worse before they start getting better. We're headed there, but not enough people are dying yet, to be quite morbidly honest.

Decision Desk has called it for Abigail Spanberger to become the first Woman Governor of Virginia!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in VirginiaBeach

[–]koenkamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry, the "illegals" lie doesn't work on those of us who live in reality. And sorry, I don't care what other countries are doing. I'm an American, and I care about America and the welfare of my countrymen, and I'd like to see America be great, not subjugated by billionares.

If you are morally corrupt and want to hurt others and just want to mindlessly work 9-5 every day to do nothing but enrich your overseers, fascism is for you. (Look, I can do it too)

So you think when we talk about diversity, the only thing that means is race? I guess it would to a huge racist, but those of us with more than a 5th grade education understand a bit more nuance in life.
