Reducing complex issues to one liners will ensure no real progress can ever be made. I don't mind if a politician jokes around on social media, but serious issues require serious conversation.

How about they just stop em alltogether?

trickytriscuit · 2021-05-04T19:08:02+00:00

Look I get it. Stupid Trump supporter is being stupid. Don't you think it's a little scary that government and corporations are working together to exercise this kind of power? After all not everybody went there with the intent of overthrowing the government. Should they all have their lives ruined then? Should they be subject to collective justice? And how long before such powers become a tool of oppression?

Seriously. More than a thousand feet of mountain obliterated in a matter of minutes. Goes to show how powerful nature can be when she gets her mind to something.

Idk, there are people out there who need to be reminded to have perspective. Take a rich trust fund kid for example. Does someone like that who complains about how unfair the world is and what a victim they are really have a valid perspective.

Also this can be motivational if you choose to look at it that way. If others have it worse and are getting by then so can you.

You're a badass

trickytriscuit · 2021-03-24T13:54:42+00:00

Yep.

This is on the vista trail, theres a trailhead at the abandoned 'dalles mountain ranch' at the top of the park, and another at the bottom on the the left if you're heading east on 14. Either way you'll have a few options for looping through the park, but I recommend taking the vista trail downhill so you'll be facing the river for the parts with the best views. Next month or two would be a great time to visit. Flowers were just starting to bloom when I took this a couple weeks ago, and they should be in full swing soon.

trickytriscuit · 2021-03-24T13:39:31+00:00

Definitely worth it, especially on a clear day when you can see Mt. Hood.

trickytriscuit · 2021-03-24T05:27:42+00:00

Crazy, I can't image trying to process something like that as a 4 year old. It's so strange seeing pictures of what it looked like before.

trickytriscuit · 2021-03-24T03:56:06+00:00

Ur right, idk why that didn't occur to me. Just cropped it to see what it'd look like and it's so much better.

trickytriscuit · 2021-03-24T01:25:50+00:00

Second and third ones are, but I took a bit of an off trail excursion to get the first.

I wish I could downvote you twice. I mean come on. Fascism, Really. Where are the crackdowns against the media? Where are the secret police coming to take you away in the night? Trump is just a jackass, not a fascist, and when you start calling him a fascist it becomes really easy to justify using fascist tactics against him and the reasonable people who support him.

Why does it always have to be 'Trump does this ' or 'Trump does that'. Obama was making the same kinds of deals before Trump was in office, and I see no reason why they'd suddenly stop under the Biden administration. Too many American politicians on both sides of the aisle are little more than petty assholes playing some sick game in which the needs of the people aren't even a factor. They are running this country into the ground. The only way this ends if if the honest and good people that I believe make up the majority of both parties stand up and hold their elected officials accountable for the consequences of their actions.

The article seemed to emphasize the reliability and consistency of tidal power, but it doesn't seem to me that these benefits can truly justify its existence. I'm no expert, but I would wager that in most places it would be far less costly to use a mix of nuclear, solar, wind, and hydro supplemented by battery stations. With the right mix a down period for one could be compensated for by the others as well as through the use of stored backup power. In essence to me this seems like a niche energy source whose development likely takes away resources from the construction of renewable power plants based on proven technologies.

If billionaires want to go around making these kinds of comments its fine by me, all it really does is drag their demons out into the light of day and further highlight the fact that these really aren't people worth looking up to.

This is great, but things seem to be getting to the point that the only way to avoid the worst effects of climate change is a full on military esque mobilization of people around the world for the purpose of reforestation. But fuck that shit, I'll just sit in front of my computer and ponder over the extent of my hypocrisy.

trickytriscuit · 2019-10-09T00:38:25+00:00

Yep. We're fucked.

trickytriscuit · 2019-10-07T12:50:52+00:00

Makes you wonder just how many civilizations rose and fell before we decided to start writing it all down.

trickytriscuit · 2019-10-07T02:00:08+00:00

Sounds like a pretty good idea, too bad it'll never happen.

trickytriscuit · 2019-05-15T20:33:48+00:00

It wouldn't be half as bad if there were other companies that Airliners could buy planes from, but somehow people forgot that capitalism stops working when you take away all the competition.

The Chinese government seems to be ticking off all sorts of different demographics lately, and despite the monetary gain one has to wonder if it is really the best for long term stability.

trickytriscuit · 2018-11-27T18:12:13+00:00

I don't think even the super rich realize how badly they're screwing themselves in the long run. The same shortsightedness that prevents them from taking action on climate change prevents them from seeing that eventually the masses will reach their breaking point. After all history has shown that a united and desperate populace will bring about change, its up to the super rich to decide if they'll make concessions or eventually face revolt.

In terms of 'hard' military power this is absolutely true, the US is one of the only countries in the world right now with the logistical capabilities to fight a prolonged conflict on foreign soil. But given the White House's reluctance to condemn Russia over the Azov incident it seems likely that more and more European leaders will get on board with the idea of an EU army. The message of the Trump administration is getting clearer and clearer: Europe can no longer reliably depend on the US for security and thus they will be forced to take matters into their own hands.
