no, thick as Trump and other climate deniers

digress though, the pre columbian latin america, had it’s own problems, human sacrifice and such

we still do that, sacrifices to the gods aka death penalty. Sure, we justify it as a civilised sacrifice though.

This problem is one hundred percent political incompetence.

well yes, but politicians are elected for “solving” problems, even ones they create, it’s literary what we idiots do. No one votes for a politician who preempts a problem, your y2k pefectly on illustrates this.

someones electing these people, i mean Paxton ffs ? Ted Cruz ? fuckin’ hell. Just vote fir anyone else to reset the clock, no ? okay then, keep doing the same. thing and expecting different results

ffs my mother says the same thing about black people and anyone under 18

good shot !

Alcohol makes people sick, cigarettes, car exhausts, not getting vaccinated, lack if access to medical care, voting Republican, processed foods, even ignoring guns.

Bemusement and or outrage seems to mostly be limited

i thought where i lived in Tasmania was bad, it gets to 1c in winter and up to 28c in Summer in the part where i live

zero times.

1 in 10 ? that number is too damn high !

How ? Typically the law society is the group to remove a lawyers license to practice. He could perhaps refer them but this is different the world over.

In Australia you can have as many jobs as you want, zero issues. id be appalled if I needed my employers permission, like a little kid asking their dad for permission.

and a zillion more

actually doing things to get people to vote for them*, which leads me to assume they have very concrete plans to get around that “problem”.

Not at all, why do you think people voted for them the first time; anti-gay, racism, xenophobia, anti-trans, anti china, anti abortion etal … none of that had anything to do with helping people, it was to hurt other people.

As John Stuart Mills points out stupid people are inherinetly.conservative, not the only criteria to be conservative but if you’re stupid (using Cipolla’s definition, 3) they’re probably conservative and we’re back to 1

You’re doing 1 and 4 and they’re 3 and 5 and will keep doibg that… why ? because they’re stupid.

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

mahhh aside from perhaps the Quakers, the rest if 'em. can all go fuck themselves.

you’ve not met humans before ?

Any time I think of the art of war
