You're a good man, Charlie Brown. I understand it's frustrating dealing with these types of people. Just know that HN is a bubble and doesn't usually represent the majority of people, just a ... vocal subset of people

People easily forget the days of punch the monkey and x10 ads

I mean, you typed that message using something that probably has cobalt inside of it or used cobalt in it's manufacturing. So... why is your moral compass so off?

This is kind of a close minded view. There are nice places to live with queen culture and "outdoors" all over the country. It may not be everywhere but there are a handful of medium size cities across the Midwest that you should v

I'm curious also, what law are you referring to?

by bryan_w 7y ago
Exactly. We've hit "the point of no return" in regards to climate change at least twice in the past 10 years and depending on who you ask, we're projected to hit another "point of no return" in 2024 if we don&#
