I’ve seen you mention the oil heiress thing a couple of times. The heiress in question is Aileen Getty. She helped found the Climate Emergency Fund which is basically used to fund nonviolent climate protests like these.

The emergency climate fund also supported the Dutch protests against the fossil fuel industry that ended with the Dutch government proceeding with a plan to end fossil fuel subsidies.

The emergency climate fund has had some success against the fossil fuel industry, so I don’t think there is any evidence that this thing is a psyop to get public opinion to be against climate protesters.

It’s very possible that Aileen Getty actually feels bad about how her family gained its fortune, and she is trying to reverse the damage by donating to these causes. If this was a fossil fuel industry psyop, they would do a much better job at hiding who was funding it.

There are news articles about this recent juststopoil protest from almost all of the major news outlets. Here’s one from the associated press.

People are hearing about it.

If there was no competition in the world, would there still be Nazis? If everyone had their needs met, would there still be racism on that scale?

Its a hard question for me. The OG Nazi party was born out of the desperation of post WWI Germany. If the world would’ve come together after WWI and decided to work together on a global scale, Germany would have been rebuilt with the help of the rest of the world, and Hitler’s words would have at least struggled to reach anyone.

I realize this is all a very hypothetical, fairy tale, line of thinking. I am most definitely on team “punch a Nazi”, myself. I just wonder if it would be the same if the world wasn’t a hyper competitive capitalistic battleground.

As a fellow meat eater, I appreciate the spotlight being shown on the cruelty of the meat industry at large, as well as you do. It has made me more conscious of my meat consumption, and I have reduced my consumption of it. It has also made me aware of sourcing more ethical meat from local butchers that are supplied by local free range farms.

I hope that this awareness continues to spread, and it helps speed up the development of things like lab grown meat and other more ethical sources of meat, in general.

Ahh my bad I got whooshed. I don’t get the music, but I’m on mobile Firefox with ublock origin so maybe that’s why. I do get the rainbows and ponies, though. Its beautiful.

Funny, I just checked, and there is a sketchy phishing site at jqueery.com that tries to look like the official page.

It kind of depends on the food, how healthy it is, and if they are making sure they are adding the proper nutrients and vitamins.

It is totally possible to eat the same meals everyday and be completely healthy as long as you keep track of those things.

This is the way to be. There is so much good music out nowadays, and being a hater will just end up with you missing out on some really good stuff.

I can’t do any of the garbage modern country stuff, either, but I can listen to modern bluegrass. That genre is full of shredders.

I like to imagine I have ‘musical ADHD’, because I can really enjoy everything from classical music, to death metal, to hip hop, to jazz, to pop, etc. I find I get bored if I listen to just one genre for too long.

Alright!

Does that mean that, technically, you were the virus?

Yea they are great for mixing, because if it sounds good when flat, then it will sound good pretty much everywhere else. Sadly, because of this, they are not so great for just listening and enjoying some music, at least for most.

Wise words and much respect, comrade glizzyguzzler.

Yea I dont really trust the reviews. I’d rather go with what a vet recommends, and it’s not that. I wouldn’t try it for my pup. I was just surprised that the reviews were so good for the food, in the first place.

The crazy looking food, itself, has decent reviews, but the owners of Gentle Giants used to run a puppy mill disguised as a dog rescue from what I have found about them.

There are quite a few bad reviews about the puppy mill from the mid to late 2000s. Like this one for example.

Some mod authors have most definitely already done that. Only 250$ USD for a hand carved set on Etsy.

I got A cups, dammit. Not that there is anything wrong with A cups, at all. I just wanted some chest cannons.

Around the World

Just to add on to what you are saying, around 62 percent of us live paycheck to paycheck. On top of that, we have at-will employment laws in most states, that allow an employer to fire a non-union employee for any reason they want, as long as they don’t violate federal labor laws. It’s also easy for employers to make up a reason for termination, even if they are violating said labor laws.

We need to unionize and get some power to the workers back in this country. People won’t do this kind of thing nearly as often if their livelihood isn’t at risk of being taken away.

I guess this would be an example of a tessellation, but one that moves to create an optical illusion. Very cool looking, indeed.
