I have two points ad to this conversation. 1: 100% agree that we must phase out petrochemicals as soon as we possibly can. I'd say that petrochemical pollution in the form of plastics (especially) and chemical additives in everything we consume is going to end up being a harder problem to deal with...

This is all well and good, but did you know in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers...

My great grandfather was a very large man. Very tall. Over 6'3. Very big. Thick arms. Thick neck. Thick belly. He was in a Japanese prison camp during WWII and he came out of it close to a 100 pounds. After that he decided whenever he wanted he would eat whatever he wanted. If he wanted a bowl of i...

Yeah....as long as I have to work in close proximity to people I can't trust not to do stupid shit and bring COVID into my space, I'll be masked up.

It shifts the ideology on what is acceptable and what we should be striving for as a country. We don't have a clear idea of what is "acceptable" or what we should be striving for as a country and we shouldn't. I think not having anything we're collectively striving for is one of the thing...

In this country, Big Tech tells politicians what to do, not the other way around. Corporatism has been part of the Progressive worldview since 1933. "Partnerships between Government and Industry". I'm not sure I would use Progressive. I think what you're describing is the classic NeoLiber...

The term "willingly" implies a conscious and aware choice. The info is out there enough that we are in willful ignorance territory. The thing is, you can't be an expert in everything. You don't have enough time in your day to be knowledgeable on everything that has an impact on your life....

I try to contribute as much as I can, but I don't have much to offer on the stremph training front since I'm a willowy enduro type. I enjoy the current events and politics, but there's only so much of that I can take before I get sent into a legit depression (which I fight constantly anyway). We nee...

Sooooo......The PERFECT person for Trump to pardon. Kindred soul and what not.

My parents both got their first round of Phizer a week and a half ago. They'll get the follow up either late this coming week or next. Zero side effects from the first round. I know a few people online who have gotten both doses. Most say there were no side effects but a worse sore arm after the sec...

Here's a video from Jimmy Dore's show of a militia member in Michigan saying EXACTLY what I said earlier in this thread. The corporatocracy HAS to keep the left and right fighting each other, otherwise we might smell their bullshit and actually direct our anger in the correct direction. https://www....

I look at Q believers with the same eye I look at people who fell for Trump's bullshit. They're the same brand of fools who will fall in for some preacher telling them he decoded the bible and figured out the world will end on x/x/xx, and they should sell all their belongings and donate the proceeds...

"Just In Time" globalization has always been a very fragile way to do any type of business. Doubly so when it's vital medical supplies that the economic engine produces at expected normal consumption rates and is faced with an exponential increase in global demand. This is one of the first...

Oh the joys of Covid. If only we had real statistics in the US. Real hard numbers based on real data. Instead we have cities like Houston whom import Covid patients from other cities in Texas because of the massive hospital system here reporting all the cases as being "Houston" cases. Des...

Chris Hedges on Jimmy Dore's show saying just about exactly what I was saying earlier in this thread. Marginalizing the working class will inevitably lead to what we're seeing right now from the MAGA supporters.

To me it just looked like a bunch of QAnon goobers running riot. No revolution detected. I don't know, man. Texting your right winger buds on the way to the Capitol that you're thinking of putting a 5.52 NATO round in Nancy's Noggin, building a gallows for Pence, and coming armed with molotov cockt...

BLM Network, Inc.? Is there anything motherfuckers won't monetize and try to turn a dime off of?

Nice Alfred. that being said, FC's point that real americans were getting assaulted and multigenerational businesses were being destroyed by Black Bloc rioting and the left sneered "You have insurance" is very legit. No doubt. The inability of the Left to admit to its own problems is what...

Did I accidentally click on the LGBTQ forum? There’s nothing wrong with an American Bastille Day. I don't think there's anything wrong with an American Bastille Day either. But AT LEAST go up there looking to fight for shit that actually matters. These ass clowns actually believe a BOLD FACED LIE t...

LA giving "The Look" to Ullrich and Andrei Kivilev before dropping them like they were tied to a tree on the lower slopes of the Alpe d'Huez. Maybe the most dominating climbing display I've ever seen. https://theproseandthepassion.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/armstrongullrich.jpg https://i....

I Georgia, we call those people "Florida Man". Or Florida Water Trash as my friend who used to spend summers riding a trials bike at Busch Gardens in Florida called them.
