  • Some of it is that you have to be a legal citizen or have a TIN, so people will use someone's account to deliver under if they don't have those.

  • Putin was zinc maxing and edging for days.

  • Wouldn't all genders be brown or white?

  • Every car has more HP than you get. Cars are tuned to be as reliable as possible in every condition with a variety of fuel qualities. That is why you see test vehicles on the road, they are gathering data to refine the engine tuning.

    That is why you can tune as car and get more HP or even to make them more efficient without changing a single part.

  • Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

    If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

  • Pretty much zero.

    The Dems would need to have an actual platform other than orange man and couch fucker bad. They keep running on feelings and vibes without a concrete plan to improve things. Not that they will be able to accomplish anything of value, given the circumstances, which will not help in 2028. Then there is the 3rd parties that could form that really makes things worse.

    Without a serious effort by the Dems, we are almost certainly going to have another 4 years of Republican Whitehouse in 2028 and the best hope is a slight majority in Congress.

  • Gun ownership is restricted(1 gun per 27 people vs 1.5:1 in the US.), so they would be up against polynesian melee weapons and a fierce Ha'a.

    Sure, there are military bases and the Pacific Fleet to get past, but we are assuming landfall is possible with the map.

  • There is a round version, but it isn't in production.

  • There are two types of this, those that pay voluntarily and those who are extorted. If you pay protection money to a gang voluntarily, it is like insurance. If your business has a problem, the gang will deal with it. If you are the extorted type, then you may be on your own and you still owe money. They may act on your behalf because of the disrespect of hitting a business they deal with.

    Some businesses don't so much pay protection money as they act as a money laundering node for the gangsters, so if your shop gets hit then their money gets hit and that is personal. These types are usually more affiliated or may be forced to launder.

  • All I am saying is that Rosa Parks deserved a better award then.

  • This was written by a guy who had nothing but sports for a career path that got an injury which meant they would never go pro and they had to switch majors to literature, thinking that writing is "hella easy bro".

  • OP had brought up randomly showing up, I assume they meant for a planned thing like a date.

  • We literally have no idea you would appreciate that. Some people really don't like that.

    Ask for them or say you want flowers. Even just asking something like "so when are you going to buy me flowers as a random romantic gesture?" Is a clear enough indication that flowers should be bought.

    I know, you just want him to do it spontaneously, that isn't how guys work. Maybe the first date, anniversary, birthday, or Valentine's a guy will do flowers unprompted. First date is least likely because it is a burden to have to deal with flowers if he isn't picking you up from your place and a lot of people don't feel comfortable telling a guy where you live with a first date. Are the flowers going to sit in the car? Are we bringing the flowers everywhere like some sort of botanical third wheel?

    Guys are practical to a fault. Flowers are such unnecessary and pointless things to spend money on outside of the aforementioned occasions that buying flowers otherwise are such a rediculous concept to the male mind. The money can be used for other things of use and the flowers are just going to die, so what is the point of that waste and lack of utility?

    That isn't even touching on how such a traditional romantic gesture is possibly some sort of conservative toxic masculinity gender role red flag that supports slave wages for undocumented migrants which you will get indignant over and he gets his nice romantic gesture turned into a bite in the ass.

    So just say something if you want something, that is how guys work. Don't hint. Don't demand. Just say what you want and a good man will satisfy the primal need to provide and make it happen. "I would love it if you brought me flowers and some chocolates randomly. That would be so romantic and sweet." Then you just have to wait, probably until the next time you see him because your need of flowers and chocolates has been elevated to a super important thing and making you wait for some other time would be poor providing for your needs or you may think he forgot and doesn't care.

    Your eyes lighting up and your smile will chisel in stone that flowers and chocolates are an easy way to cheer you up and it will be done again randomly or to raise your spirits. Once you stop responding with enthusiasm, he will think that it stopped working and will probably stop, so always be excited and happy to get flowers and chocolates to renew your ticket.

  • That makes it easier to find them to check for cancer caused by microplastics.

  • You can get tattoos that are you skin tone, but they aren't invisible, they will show up if you get flush or tan.

    There also are UV tattoos that onto show up under blacklight. How visible they are varies, but there is usually a ghosting with them.

    Both cases, the ink fades faster than other colors. How fast that happens depends on the person and how much sun exposure you get. You can get touch ups every 2 years to keep the UV bright, but it does muddy the tattoo the more you do that.

  • 10 years is over the horizon of a setting sun.

    The oceans lag 20 years behind the atmosphere and removing the CO2 and methane would take generations with current cutting edge tech.

    There is no viable means to remove methane from the atmosphere at any meaningful scale that does not produce CO2 as a byproduct.

    We are fucked and have known that for over 100 years while we did nothing of value. We jumped off a cliff and expected to find a way to land safely on the way down.

  • This is what I started doing a few months ago and it works great.

  • Is it nihilistic to accept that you are strapped to a wall while a truck drives towards you at 50mph? There is no technology that can stop or reverse what is happening and what will happen. Optimism in the face of death is ignorance of reality.

    Planting billions of trees can't remove methane from the atmosphere. Methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. The hotter the average temperature, the more the permafrost melts and the more methane is released. Ocean temperatures increasing, currents changing, and the ocean acidifying destabilizes methane hydrates which release even more methane.

    Ocean temperatures rise and acidification increases, corals die. 25% of ocean life depends on corals for part of their lifecycle. We have lost 14% of coral from between 2009 and 2018, 50% since 1950. Since 1970 we have lost 50% of marine life. 3 billion people depend on marine life as their primary protein source.

    Make everybody vegan? You need 1 billion hectares of land, total arable land on Earth is 1.4b hectares. Then take into account that arable land will likely decrease with climate change and crops will be lost every year. Then there are the fresh water needs for the crops. Don't forget that growing all that food depends on petrochemical fertilizers and diesel farm equipment, not to mention the logistics of moving and processing the crops.

    We can use biodiesel! You need 300 million hectares of land to make enough biodiesel to satisfy global demand at the current needs, which would be dwarfed by the needs of farming 1.3b hectares of land.

    Don't suggest we go all electric, the energy needs to produce and charge all that are outrageous and infeasible without bottling stars and mining on a scale that would make a Bagger 293 sweat and cry.

    You want me to bring up the 45% loss of insects in 40 years?

    We are fucked.

    Billions of people are going to die, we will watch it happen in our lifetime, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it without a magic wand, a time machine, or a benevolent god's undeserved mercy.

    You want optimism? I hope the science is wrong.

  • Glacial retreat is part of the natural cycles of glaciation that our planet does. Were we fucked when the cordilleran and laurentide retreated? Absolutely not, it was disastrous for costal inhabitants though because the ocean level went up by 400 feet in the last 15,000 years. If sealevel went up 400 ft again(it won't, only around 230ft is possible) the Statue of Liberty would be under 100' of water.

    The methane releasing from the permafrost should be more alarming than glacial retreat. Then there is the oceans decreasing ability to store methane hydrates...

    Atmospheric methane is skyrocketing and there is nothing that could be done about it, save waving a magic wand. Stop all anthropogenic methane and the methane still runs away. Stop all CO2 production and all you do is stop CO2 production.

    You have no idea how fucked we are.
