I’ve been saying for years, China still wants Yongmingcheng (vladivostok) back. Why fight every country in the pacific aside from North Korea when there’s more arable land and tremendous mineral wealth to the north, and the north will not be able to defend itself.

I’d love to see how well Russia does against a peer combatant.

just curious from your POV, who’s betraying whom?

Uh, not exactly but that was an interesting 4:22 of music. Neat vocoder stuff.

TYVM!

One example: 47°42’58.8"N 122°18’21.3"W

no, it’s not redlining, these are the neighborhoods redlining was keeping black people out of.

cute attempt at whatever that was tho.

time to find a bob outfit and make a dogma is dogshit sign! (iirc that’s what smith was holding)

There are plenty of ways to offset emissions,

show me a single one that can offset any significant amount of carbon emissions in any kind of useful timeline. they range from hideously expensive to outright insane (requiring more energy to sequester than was emitted in the burning). of course you’re dumb enough to believe in these fantasies - big oil are the ones selling those too.

you’re a fool, who’s entertained by foolish things, and believes foolish solutions will come save you.

64gb of ram. 32 cores.

if you keep many chonky applications open it’s lovely.

ok, how 'bout this:

you enjoy watching idiots produce smog that’s not necessary AS YOUR FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT, and the rest of us will despise your shitty choices.

obviously you are never going to comprehend IT ALL NEEDS TO GO. Because this is your chosen form of entertainment, you don’t give a shit about your children’s future and will selfishly cling to a ‘sport’ which consists of idiots racing in circles.

You do you. what a strange fetish.

Their hobby is a feat of mechanichal engineering, and like I said, their prescence accounts for less than 1% of total emissions.

their presence accounts for less than 1% of total emission for what? it’s far below total combustion emissions so I have no idea what you’re on about; if you’re asserting that the race itself only uses 1% of the total expended to move the cars to the next race etc., I’ve got radical advice bud:

you could end 100% of that emission by just STOPPING. Let them mario kart, let them gran turismo ffs.

The research and development that goes into these cars can also translate to consumer cars.

yeah this seems like the nasa argument but the actual returns are tiny, teeeny amounts of cross-pollination from the race world to the real world, because even though the real world might benefit from something like radical aerodynamics (vacuum motors for example) don’t work on city streets, or they’re so feverishly expensive that they can’t be applied to the average car.

Cute canard tho.

Here is an interesting read showcasing that f1 puts out one tenth of the emissions that the world cup does and also shows that the races themselves only cover 0.7% of the sport’s emissions. So that is 0.7% of <1% of global emissions, which is negligible.

well that’s fine because I’d like people to stop travelling massive distances for sportsball too. no need to compare, cut 'em both.

Guys who roll coal are deliberately harming the environment for the sake of making a really stupid point.

I don’t disagree but it doesn’t let f1/nascar/etc off the hook. their ‘hobby’ is racing in circles burning gas.

Let me type that again, because the absurdity is powerful:

THEIR HOBBY IS RACING IN CIRCLES BURNING GAS.

work it out mate.

A lot of the places I lived growing up didn’t have sidewalks.

Rural roads man.

my dad always said: walk facing toward traffic, and make eye contact with drivers, so they can be haunted by your face for the rest of their lives if they run you over.

when are the sportos gonna realize their silly, pointless man games are another distraction from the horrible reality these same actors create?

oh fuck, the world’s overheating!

better get some footy clubs playing in Riyadh then!

fucking bellends

the ones used to haul people - I have no issue with. of course they must be replaced but in the great grand scale of things, they’re at least hauling people to schools and jobs.

the assholes who look at internal combustion as their personality - the f1s, the nascar types, the tuner heads and vroom vroom fuckwits - they’re doing it for FUN.

FUCK THOSE PEOPLE THE MOST. FUCK THEM EIGHT WAYS FROM SUNDAY. THEY’RE DERIVING THEIR ENTERTAINMENT FROM MAKING IT HARDER FOR CHILDREN TO BREATH. THEY DON’T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BECAUSE THAT’S WHO’S GOING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR ABSURD BULLSHIT.

Of course replace ICE wherever possible, do the work, but I ain’t angry at some lady hauling her kids around in an ICE kia.

The fuckwit who’s modified their carb so they spew more freedom smog - and the ones who want to watch them race in circles at full tilt - they’re holding the species back. Please, remind them of this whenever you see them. They’re fucking us all over.

but why steal that land?

the entire planet to choose from, and that land?

Why do you think that is?

come on you can do it, put the parts together…

Yes, I’m sure the forced displacement of 700,000 people and the very reason they keep saying they are fighting has nothing to do with it, and its all because of religion.

what do you think lead to the displacement? how can you get this madness without religious dogma driving people to see each other as the enemy on both sides?

Osama wasn’t religiously motivated at all lol pfft

nothing is going to change as long as each side is letting their holy ideals lead them into war.

both sides.

but get rid of bibi tho, that’s a first for any progress.

oh you see a peace coming any time soon?

explain it to me then. how do you de-escalate? israel wants to kill as many as they can in palestine, gaza, hell now lebanon, 40k+ dead, how do you get people to stand down after that?

pffttt… wake up child.
