Listen, we really need to do something about this, because it’s simply unacceptable. Who wants to come to Italy with me, so that we can make gay sex in the Vatican better?

"The area of sea ice around Antarctica has hit a record low, with scientists reporting “never having seen such an extreme situation before”. The ice extent is expected to shrink even further before this year’s summer melting season ends."

@empiricism Psychology is not the only study out there buddy, You gotta get your head out of psychology books a bit and understand how people speak. I never made any point that Capitalism has a soul or a brain or a conscience, i used the pronoun itself because The Pronoun exists and is being used correctly.

@empiricism I think you don't know what words mean. *It* always refers to a non-human thing, when using the Pronoun It you refer to objects, animals, trees and so on. You didn't actually touch on any points, you just missed the forest for the trees.

@empiricism I feel you miss how systems work. Honestly, these are all systems built by humans, but which humans? What is the actual thought behind such a thing? Have you watched the patterns since Capitalism has been implemented? Did you know there was a Great Depression before The Great Depression? How many times has it broken down, caused revolts, killed millions, destroyed forests and destroyed fauna? The economy has no conscience, but it's a system and its self is the machine, a system to perpetuate infinite greedy growth, that has always been its basis, since its very roots.

@hasmis Yeah, you're completely right. Wish there was easier and less problematic ways to gather energy, but no matter what there always will be a downside

@hasmis Battery cars 100% are bad, Windmills do take a lot of space and are noisy as hell, Solar doesn't need to be put in a place where... You can grow drugs (I would prefer food, honestly i am anti-drugs, i assume you mean for recreation) and CO2 can be positive, but none of those examples addressed that they also are released by major factories, cars with gas and so on. Also slave labour got us a lot of what we have, that is not an actual point against Windmills and Solar when computers, phones, and so on are actively made with sweatshops, slave labor, subpar wages and so on. That part is a moralist point that really makes no sense to add unless you are trying to pass on moral judgement on those two and show "look how bad this is."

@hasmis Trains are better than cars, that's my opinion on that, windmills don't deliver nasties, they have inherent problems with space and obstruction, not really hidden either. Aside from that CO2 is not bad if there are trees around to absorb it and deliver Oxygen, if there is only CO2 to breathe then there is problem in the air, Burning Coal causes air polution as does rotten cars, but they are mediums to the end result which is sending polutants into the air.

@hasmis Ah, got it, the entire thing still does need to be revised, even if CO2 is not affecting climate it is certainly still poluting our air and climate and its alternatives should rise in popularity. Even more if we can change this finite resource for a renovating one.

Today I spoke with a representative of #KidPower kidpower.org/

-- a child safety organization teaching child protection and personal #safety skills to adults and children to prevent #bullying, #abuse, abduction, and other violence.

The organization is worldwide, but banned in #Russia by #Putin -- the bully-in-chief.

@empiricism Likely the economy also simply has that as a plan in itself to break and reconstruct, The economy has always broken again and again

Warning: This is just a metaphor. If you actually try this with your kid, make sure you watch them closely because the strings of balloons could harm the baby.

I will just say this once, if you consider yourself a but you are expecting your man to buy you candy, flowers, or a gift, or to take you out to dinner today (even thought this is one of the busiest days for underpaid restaurant workers), you're no feminist. Unless possibly you reciprocate and do the same for him, but truthfully a lot of men wish they could just skip the day entirely. To say that some hate with the heat of a thousand burning suns might not be that inaccurate.

All this goes 100X if you are expecting jewelry or some other big ticket item.

A lot of relationships end because of Day and in most cases that's probably not a bad thing. Guys, if your girlfriend breaks up with you because you didn't perform to the expectations set by the advertisers and merchants, consider yourself lucky - you dodged a bullet!
