Now I hear you, but just think about what happened in the food industry when they found out customers would not pay higher prices, but would gladly eat shit if it came in the same box as their childhood reward foods.
To what are you alluding?
It is something to do with 2 X chromosomes...?
I suggest:
First offence: Have to watch CSPAN for 5 hours a day, for a week, without sleeping through it - evidence to be provided in court
Second offence: Have to sing Miley Cyrus songs and Baby Shark on TikTok - sober
Third offence: License to practice and all memberships of country clubs and golf courses revoked
The real reason we will never be able to "fix" the drought is because the American West is not in a drought right now.
Basically everyone who lives in the area or studies the climate or hydrology would tell you that you're insane.
The West's rapid aridification isn't being caused by a "once-in-a-century" weather event
More like a once-in-a-millennium event. Though I suspect it's going to be considerably more common going forward.
What we're dealing with in the West is not a drought because the current lack of rainfall isn't "abnormal" for a desert. Dry is the default setting. And you can't call it a "drought" because you wish deserts were wetter.
Deserts have some amount of normal precipitation, too. And when you get a lot less than normal, that's called a drought. Yes, even in a desert.
Repeat the 1200 number a few times more, you're not making yourself look stupid enough.
No one on the planet has reliable rainfall data for even last 120 years.
We do have pretty good data from tree rings. Unless you think the trees came from somewhere else?
They tried that with Apollo 13. And.... that actually did work, sorta.
The MAGA true believers are just like that drunk guy in the strop club that believes the stripper really loves him.
Wow, just realized it has been YEARS since I last went out, cut loose and had fun at one of the local "strop" clubs here in New Orleans....
Basic epidemiology: when a vampire feeds on a person, that person also becomes a vampire, and vampires are immortal. So it won't be long before everyone's a vampire. Can vampires feed on each other? (According to Blade, there are second-level vampires who feed on other vampires.)
As I've read the books and seen the movies...NOT every victim becomes a vampire too.
Only if the vampire wants to turn a victim....they drain most of the blood to almost point of death and then have the still alive victim drink blood from them......then they turn into one.
Each time some nerd says "Let them censor I have a VPN" he forgets that the next step is to crackdown on VPNs. Technical defenses against political problems only give you a bit of time, but will eventually fail.
Even worse is when they compromise the VPN operators and then monitor your usage until you do something that makes them decide to crack down on you.
People erroneously think of VPNs as privacy protectors. They aren't, not unless you have very good reason to trust whoever is running the server. If you don't, then they're concentrators for likely subversive traffic and its origins.
So you have two political parties pushing candidates at you.
The solution to this is to join a party and get involved in the decisionmaking. It's a lot easier than you might think, and you can have a lot more influence that you might expect, precisely because not that many people do this.
Do you not possess an instinctive revulsion when presented with an idea so gruesome?
If it is something that will allow me to preserve, extend and improve my life?
No....not the least bit.
You don't get to create and then destroy life just to prolong yours
Why?
I made it to earth and processing oxygen...why should I not make and have the opportunity to extend my run for as long as possible?
I guess my innate sense of self preservation is much higher than yours.
I really love my life and I love being me and there's not much I'd not do to keep that going.
Why would I not?
I feel it has been a life worth living so far....sure, things are starting to fail and fall apart a bit, but whew....glad I got to travel the road I did....not boring, and really
No spare parts required for immortality......Just a little blood.
I'm good with that....
I dunno about so many people I really really like being ME and would like to do so for as long as possible....and would do almost anything to prolong that.
