I think things will make a turn in about ten years. Yes, climate is very critical, but the kids of today will have a better shot at shaping the world in a time when the last old ideas from the fossil fueled age have finally died.
It's going to get rough, but at least they have a chance of changing it. We never did get a chance, because the boomers were kept alive with improved healthcare. It's the same people who have all the wealth and power today as it was in 1980s.
So maybe Gen-X and millennials will be the next old assholes, but at least they're better educated and their views are much better aligned with younger generations than the old ones. We might finally be able to work together across generations politically in just a few years time. It's much needed, and it's hard work, but I envy the kids who get to be the creators of the post-boomer society.
None, but I do tag trolls and other kinds of idiots, so I can avoid replying to them but still read what they're up to.
I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn't perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).
Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I've come to the conclusion that it's not really that big of a handicap. It's mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.
I can't really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.
It's just salt water.
They just make a bank transfer. The real issue is the taxation.
Every country has a threshold for how much someone can receive without paying taxes.
I want cars with combustion engines to hit that wall.
Aye Aye Captain.
I love the NATO spending angle on this.
Promise to spend more on military. Build bridge. Call the bridge military. Success.
Same for the United States of America.
That's the reason for taking the car. No fucks are given in regards to who owns the vehicle. If you get caught driving insanely in your friends car, it's your own problem to explain to your friend why he doesn't have a car anymore.
The only time I've heard of them returning the vehicle to the actual owner was when they confiscated a bus, which was needed for public transport.
I have never even read those names before, and I think this illustrates the issue.
Protest songs used to reach world wide top charts because that's what people bought. This was ruined by commercialization, so that charts now only show what labels want to sell. People who actually choose what music to consume will scatter out into online bubbles that are completely detached from the mainstream and public view.
This makes it almost impossible to reach as big an audience as done by RATM and others did in previous decades.
Perhaps young people ought to do protest TikToks instead of protest songs.
