Pissed on carpet.

Actually I’m blaming China for thinking they could kill birds without repercussions. Turns out, that kills people. Like, millions of people. But capitalism bad bc reasons

Because it sucks as a government owned entity and deserves to die for its trespasses against the citizenry at large.

Honestly the 3-5min behind schedule average did it. Germans can’t stand it when they’re late. Ruins their whole little day.

I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.

My claim is that humanity made the Amazon rainforest what it is today. I stand by that, and my claim grows stronger with each new ancient city discovered under the trees.

You can think what you want but the science is there. People took grasslands and farmed them for generations, then died off and the forests took over. 1-2k years is nothing when it comes to geologic time.

Central, north, and south America have been home to humanity for tens of thousands of years. Did you think they all just lived in mud huts and worshiped the sun?

The Amazon rainforest is less than 1000 years old. We know that because we can find 1000 year old human ruins built UNDER the rainforest. Did you think the first settlers to reach south America just lied about the cities and people’s they found?

(Edit: actually 2k years back is the start of the forest. It really took off after people left and the farmland went wild)

Alright, so before the whites showed up, there were massive civilizations living where the Amazon rainforest is today. I’m talking cities of hundreds of thousands of people numbering in the dozens. A massive population center. All those people needed food, and for the most part, they farmed. A lot of ice cream bean trees, for example. They also used controlled burning to build up soil so good we still can’t replicate it perfectly today (check out terra prima). At or around the time the white devils first showed up, these population centers had already been largely abandoned due to social upheaval and/or disease. We’re talking within a generation or three. By the time more white devils showed up with their book burnings and God bothering, those population centers had already become myth. Took the dumb whites another couple hundred years to figure out that the city of gold wasn’t literally made of gold, but rather the massive cities surrounded by cops ready for harvest. We’re juuuust now finding them using LIDAR to scan what is now rainforest floor.

The cool part about humanity is we could do it again. We made the Amazon rainforest by abandoning millions of acres of farmland and letting it grow over into a rainforest. We didn’t do it on purpose, but now that we understand what happened, we totally could. All it requires is multigenerational discipline. So it might as well be a dream lmao

Awaken the shoggoth

I remember an officer in the USCG accused of rape while I worked as a welder on base. Guy had to paint the fire lane on curbs for a month while his superiors quietly hushed up the incident so as to not disturb the guys advancement prospects (he was the kid of some higher rank admin).

I’m sure that taught him a lesson

I mean I’d ride it, but that part don’t go to no motor cycle. More like a monthly cycle.

The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It’s either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.

One does not “get” thermite. One makes thermite. All you need is powdered rust, aluminum powder, a rough ratio of the two by weight, and a sufficient heat source like a magnesium strip to light it off.

It’s blue da ba dee da ba die

I’m just happy ig is letting porn through. Cooters and hooters out and about is an indicator of a healthy social media environment

Saw something like this at a coffee truck once, but the lady in the truck was kind enough to be gorgeous and wearing lingerie. I assume the tip at that place is some kind of incentive for a dance? Idk. But 100% tip on a $7 drink is halfway reasonable when you might see some tiddy for it.

What the dog do

Members only. All AFGE local positions are volunteer (unpaid) positions. While you are allowed some time during working hours to conduct union business as a federal employee, its like 2 hours 2 or 3 times a week. And the system for hiring and retaining federal employees is designed to weed out firecrackers like me who both understand their rights and have the spine to stand up and say something about them. Good luck building a revolution out of a population specifically selected to be meek and obedient.

AFGE does not fight back unless there is a political statement to be made. I was hired as a federal employee in 2023 and endured 6 months of rights violations, gaslighting from management, and incompetence from HR. When I made complaints, I was shitcanned. When I went to the union, I was told that they had no representation since the last president of the local resigned in 2022. I was told “arbitrations are expensive” when I filed grievances that the union refused to back. I was told “probationary employees have no rights” despite my union contract very much specifying otherwise. The ONLY reason AFGE is getting off its ass now is because AFGE as an organization is being threatened. They don’t care about their union members. They only care about their own fucking paycheck.
