At which point do we rename it to El Hombre
My outdated gender stereotypes suggest la mujer goes first
And after El hombre you can elevate to la Doña Elena
Beware her most powerful weapon: La Chancla
That would be better for La Niña wouldn’t it?
Trying to blame women for the world’s problems, eh?
Anyone else notice that recently once in a century events happen every season?
We’ll simply borrow future centuries as needed for each one. Duh.
Yeah but there are hundreds, if not thousands of things that happen once in a century.
It’s when you start running into the same thing over and over again.
“Urgent climate warning”
Warnings are useless if you don’t heed them, take some fucking action ffs
I did. I stopped using plastic straws and I don’t use hairspray and I don’t commute to work and I recycle… You know, I just can’t shake the guilt of my actions. I just need to do more. If I had a private jet, I would stop flying on it.
Buy one and don’t fly it.
Do you eat meat?
Only free-range billionaire meat.
Alright, who used plastic straws this time?
Good thing NOAA has sensors in the ocean to track and study these things.
Yeah, would be a shame to stop it… they wouldn’t … right?
Maybe we should bomb an oil refinery
Bomb the billionaires. Far less collateral effects, far more effective for sustained change.
That causes a lot of local harm. You get a wide variety of oil byproducts dumped on all the people within a few miles of the refinery and if it used HF as a catalyst, you may immediately kill a huge number of people. Graceful shutdown is far preferable
To be fair all of that is still true while the refinery is running. There’s a reason that Refinery Row and the Cancer Belt overlap almost perfectly in texas.
We’ve been trying to gracefully shut them down for 50 years.
I think the short term consequences outweigh the long term consequences of not doing it.
But it probably makes more sense to target the boats trying to pickup the oil from the refineries, while they’re empty. Yemen and Iran have shown the efficacy of underwater suicide drones.
