They’re being elitist with their headline, but this is why I personally think they’re sort of right… We will make the planet uninhabitable for modern society before the sane world can pool their resources.

I mean… Never by our current civilization.

With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.

So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don’t think. But modern society will not survive.

Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won’t.

The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they’re delusional.

The meat grinder is working exactly as they want it to.

All those pesky social programs keep allowing the poors to escape it.

A judge would sign a search warrant because a cop pinky swears the target is a black ms13 Muslim antifa commiesocialmarxist.

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don’t use the official front-end.

Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

I’m sure they’ll have plenty of proper god fearing Christian good old boys just lining up to do their solemn duty.

You know, it’s always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as “barbaric” or “Savage”, but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.

200 years ago, the local “doctor” will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he’s gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it’s last use.

200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you’ll be fine.

Push workdays later into the day so a 9-5 becomes an 11-5.

FTFY

work can get fucked if they think I’m giving up my evenings. We should be pushing for shorter workdays, too. Not just push them back.

I my experience, Christians don’t know their own Bible and rarely, if ever, crack it open without someone telling them to, usually during a service.

As I said, non-fictional people tied together with a fictional story.

Deciding that I said one thing, when simply looking up and seeing I didn’t say it means you are founding your reply on feelings instead of actual information.

HP ain’t got shit on The Hobbit.

She called the Asian girl “ching chong”, she called one of the few black people in it “shackle bolt”, and she might as well have called the Irish kid “Irish O’Carbomb” given his name an propensity for unintentionally setting things on fire.

Don’t even get me started on the goblins.

She straight up admitted lycanthropy is HIV, and all werewolves are interested j is spreading their disease by attacking anyone nearby, one werewolf specifically targets children, if I remember correctly.

The only gay characters I am aware of, one is a villain, and the other other is “one of the good ones” who never acted on it after a point and just stayed a celibate single.

The only non-magical users in the magic world “squibs”, basically disabled people, are portrayed as shitty humans. Every summer Harry got left with ms fig who was “a mad old lady”, and the school caretaker Filch, who is a sadist that welcomes umbridge with open arms, a parasite who latches on to whoever benefits him most.

I’m sure there’s others I’ve never caught or thought about.

I mean, ultimately you’re both basically arguing over Star Wars about whether Han shot first or second. Its several non-fictional people tied together with a fictional story to push an agenda of control.

Truth is?

Game’s been rigged from the start.

I mean, depending on who you ask, you’ll get some different answers to that.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

And don’t bother asking silly questions like “why did those 20 buckets of paint cost $3.5 Million?” or “how did you afford that new yacht on $80,000/yr?”

You could absolutely say, with no surrounding context, “Palestinians deserve to live”, and have half a dozen people call you antisemitic, as if you were

1: talking about jews or Israel in the first place,

2- saying NEGATIVE things about those groups, or

C, implying that two groups of people can’t exist at the same time.

And a dozen other people nearby will nod their heads in silence as though the person calling you antisemitic was in some way correct in their assessment.

Thank you for writing, Concerned. Of course, your question touches on one of the most basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species. I also detect some unspoken questions. Do our benefactors really know what’s best for us? What gives them the right to make this kind of decision for mankind? Will they ever deactivate the suppression field and let us breed again?

Let me assure you that the suppressing field will be shut off on the day that we have mastered ourselves…the day we can prove we no longer need it. And that day of transformation, I have it on good authority, is close at hand.
