    covid-19

    Negative. Antivaxers are not considered socially inferior. They are considered to be an impediment to a more free existence for the rest of us. To wit: fuck 'em.

    Yep. And the AMA should recommend that, like the Doctor in Tennessee, all Doctors, NP's, PA's should refuse to see unvaccinated patients in their clinics. That would get the ball rolling.
  3. Thus spake the John Nash of Speakers corner: a player can achieve the desired outcome by not deviating from their initial strategy.
  4. Until you achieve a 70% correct rating you might be a little more understanding.

    China

    I doubt none of that and I'm willing to trade you some jumps for some of that Enphase. I simply can see why some think we'll either pass the tipping point, or in Brents case don't believe there is a tipping point, before sufficient alternative energy comes online worldwide to stop AGW. Surveying the geopolitical landscape I sometimes wonder if it really isn't a losing game. Before I started burning hydrocarbons for a living I was a real true believer, one of the bird and bunny people, who spent years saving trees and rivers. I joke that I have enough carbon credits saved up to run a dozen Turbine DZ's and never break even, and no doubt that's true, but I'm still a bit of a hypocrite, right? Certainly, if we each here are what we claim there is much of that to go around. Multiply that by 7+ Billion and all predictions are off, seems to me.

    Right now I'm focusing on extraction as in extract myself from your line of sight before I suffer a Brent grade beatdown.

    China

    Or just ask the Saudi's to reach over and open the valve a bit further. Or just be nice to Maduro. I'm not saying it doesn't suck.

    China

    O.K, then, most immediate source. I hope everyone knows by now I'm not a denier or that I don't recognize the negative impacts of global warming. I'm simply recognizing that there are serious headwinds, big players like China have a different agenda, and time keeps rolling on.

    China

    Sure, but at the risk of a dose of liberal wrath, his point is a good one. Here we are 20 years and a day after deciding to blow the national budget on doing the right thing and what did we end up with in our Christmas stockings? Worse than nothing, for sure. Maybe we should accept a warming world and while energy and money are cheap have some fun build a better, albeit warmer, world for the China's kids. After all, it'll all be theirs someday, right?

    Anyone can mandate anything, but would you have been an asshole about it? I know that most DZO's are total assholes but now and again someone doesn't get the program.

    Is that an Ivanka quote?

    covid-19

    Why? I think because African-Americans and young people and environmentalists aren't as uniformly bumfuck crazy and armed to the teeth as the folks who prefer untested Ivermectin over a tested vaccine.

    covid-19

    Maybe, but I'm fed up with minority rule by maskhole antivaxers. I have only guesses as to what Covid endemic life will be like but if, as I suspect, travel will be easier, restaurants will reopen and we can ditch these stupid masks then I'll take it.
  14. The Governor is also the State. It may stink to high heaven, like all religious law, but unless it works it's way back up the Courts and is changed the citizens of Texas have standing: their beliefs were offended. Insanity.
  15. Trump? Wasn't he your May 15, 2021 forgotten person?

    covid-19

    Sure, but then who will you vote for?
  17. Sure, but first we need to talk about it and get comfortable with how we each feel about it and explore ourselves with a little cosplay. The key here is understanding their point of view. As you know, some kind of PSTD inducing trauma must have happened to cause them to act out in such a self destructive way. Certainly, if we show enough empathy they'll see that we're people, too. Capisch?
  18. You have a broken listener. If your life is so busy and confused that you need to get counseling from people you don't know about the value of your time then you are a very lost soul. Here's the truth: ignore all of the touchy feely BS others have posted and commit yourself to a lot of time at the DZ. If all you notice is how they organize the port-a-potties you'll still have learned something valuable. And if someone with a clue notices that you are there again and gives you some time be grateful. That, yo, is skydiving.
  19. This is a joke, right? Shit, when I started I drove 2 and 1/2 hours to the DZ after work and often for no jumps at all. So then, as long as I was there, it was just talk to whoever was hanging out and drive home. They named me Crazy Joe. If you aren't just an internet socialite you should leave this site and go hang at your local DZ. Nothing you will learn here will compare, trust me.
  20. Well, the good side items are certainly inspiring for all who favor an open and forgiving society. Sure, there will be a coterie of liberal ingrates who will fail to see how a law prohibiting fatal choke holds by our police is a significant societal advance. But ignore those fools and current events and systemic racism, and women's rights, and instead invest in DMV brochure racks. I am so, so tired of the ignorance.
  21. Someday, somewhere We'll find a new way of living We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere There's a place for us Somewhere a place for us Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us somewhere There's a time for us Someday there'll time for us Time together with time to spare Time to learn and time to care Somewhere
  22. All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world, mad world
  23. That's my view and I make no apologies. Really they aren't just suicide anti vaxxers they're homicide antivaxxers.
