2000 feet is barely foothills. We build taller buildings than 2000 feet. When I hear “mountains” i expect a visable treeline at the very least. Mt hood, Mt Shasta, the Rockies, the Sierra Nevadas, those are mountains and ranges. You live in the hills.
Brazil is a gigantic bowl catching the wet air coming in from the Atlantic. Ofc it floods. You’re only feeling it now because deforestation is out of control and surprise! Those forests protected the rest of the area from the worst of the floods.
Excuse me while I laugh in Californian wildfires.
The difference between us is that I am not shocked when floodzones flood, forest fires burn, and landslides slide. The only “unnatural” change in the environment is fucking people. We turn swamps into cities and then cry tragedy when they turn back into swamps. We build cities in deserts and cry that there is not enough water. We overpopulated the planet and then complain that it is killing us. We are the problem. Nature is just doing what nature has always done. The nature of Nature is change.

“Gee that big floodplain at the foot of those hills sure looks nice. Better rebuild my formerly flooded home on this precise exact spot again instead of moving 500 feet to the left and building on that nice hill. That would just be stupid.”
All you dumb flatlanders had to do was build on the hills. They’re right fuckin there and none of you ever think to do it.
So toasting a sammich is cooking, but making the sammich isn’t?
Lemmy was a liquid coke man. With some jack Daniel’s in there.
Persons is a set of individuals while people generally implies a group. “Those people” as a phrase carries negative connotations because of its use by racists pretending to be not quite as racist.
You can use them interchangeably as long as you’re trying to imply the person’s you are referring to are linked or similar in some way.
I’m not justifying console vs PC. I’m just pointing out that the $300 on the original comment I replied to for ps plus is insane. $80 a year for a positively moderated, optimized gaming experience the vast majority of the time is worth the money imo.
I can use it as long as I like. Ps plus just gives you 3 “free” games a month and let’s you play online with games that require ps plus. Imo the three games a month for six bucks and change is already worth it. And you keep those games for as long as you have your account, even if you don’t renew your subscription. You can also just get games that don’t require an online component, though those are becoming harder to find.
In what universe do you live? Ps plus is $80, not $300
Abolish police entirely and mobilize the NG into law enforcement. The rules of engagement alone is miles better than the policy shit police forces have now, and cops are all already carrying or being supplied with military gear anyways. If we already have a militarized police force, why not cut out the middle man and turn our actual military into the police force?
As a Californian, do not look to our state for police reform. IMO the best example is Colorado removing qualified immunity. Discipline doesn’t work and the system refuses to jail their own, so you gotta hit them financially. Bankrupting shitty little town police forces either forces reform or kicks authority up to the state, which is more regimented in its regulation. Either way it’s putting bad cops out of a job.
Honestly legal immunity needs to go as a concept. It might be annoying for judges to fight off lawsuits, but fuckem. They’re paid damn well and they have the time. Judges are public servants, not public sovereigns. Some of them need to be reminded of this fact, and lawsuits are a good way of opening crusty conservative eyes. And the entire civil suit system needs to be simplified into plain English so that the average citizen can use it. This legalese fuckery was designed from the start to disadvantage uneducated people. That’s downright un-American. The ruling class has forgotten that this is the land of the free, not the land of the fee.
You have sub quality drug dealers. My dude flips cars on the side of his hustle so he always has something nice to drive. He’s a fan of rare models, so his latest is a Saab something or other with all the goodies including 4wd and a ls9 under the hood.
Other than that he’s got a nice little house in the burbs. Nothing big or fancy. Just a normal 2 bedroom place with a small yard.
Besides buying out all the DRG cosmetic packs because I’m a whore for coffee stain and ghost ship, the best DLC cosmetic I’ve ever bought is the dumb piglet Saltzpyre wears on his head in Vermintide 2. It’s got a little wiggly butt and floppy Lil legs and it’s adorable. Best $5 I’ve ever spent.
Update: she did not.
It’s all neuron activation. Always has been.
Because it’s drugs for your brain. Your brain expects to find a pattern and rewards you when you do. Brainscans have shown similar activation patterns in people that are listening to their favorite music as people who have recently injected heroin.
Just had a talk about this exact topic in an interviewer today. Talked about how a growing number of companies on my resume no longer exist, and the guy interviewing me said he had the same thing. It’s a rough business world we live in. I’m not gonna hold the number of jobs a person has had against them. In fact, it speaks of experience. Not deep, but certainly wide.
