Pollution caused by dumping raw waste into a river has nothing to do with climate change.

Ehm. I.. Do you… When…

Nevermind.


I mean I bet its *almost* there, I can almost see the neurons firing into the void.

You should review your own post history some day…

I don't need to. I know what I have and have not posted.

I too have made some mistakes and have called some names in the past.
I do my best to avoid this childishness when ever I can. Some however live just for it such as the poster I responded to above.

I would point out that "childishness" does not end at or be defined as or is encapsulated by the act of "calling names". Meh it is what it is.

I agree with you for once.
Name calling and personal insults from an anonymous position are the actions of a coward.

This country used to have scenes like that in the 60s and 70s. Then the evil federal government stepped in with those evil regulations like the Clean Water Act.

LOL we had to call the fire department to put out the river.

"Some mistakes" indeed.
IMO: Being gay is not a minority. It is a genetic defect
But yes, let's furrow our brows when someone points out when we're an asshole.

I'm not furrowing my brows. :rolleyes: I admitted that I have said some distasteful things in the past.

I do however say what I believe, like it or not. I do not think it is a normal condition, no more than being born with six fingers on one hand. Birth defects happen. It doesn't make the person that has the defect bad or anything.

Oh, you'd love it when Elon unleashes this here :grinning:
I hear Tesla's launching next (fiscal?) year, would love to see all those auto pilot fail videos compilation 🤣
Some of the roads in India, even in highly populated areas are so badly maintained, there are so potholes on those roads. I am not even sure if autopilot would work or even be able to recognize the road.

What a wonderful topic loaded with potential. Surely a solution to global warming. Every second I spend in it, reduces the amount of foam in India.

From watching an episode where the Ice Road Truckers went to India for some stupid reason, it's like passing is accomplished by pressing on your horn and praying to Vishnu or something.

They're not good either. They just don't fit into the 5 finger world. *Shrug*

I'm ashamed to defend one of our typical asses on this one, but he's right. It's technically illegal, and a *lot* of primarily rural communities do it anyway. 404 racism not found.

Still not getting the connection with toxic foam. Any more than I get the connection between some sort of local chemical river pollution issue and climate change. Other, I suppose, than the very general issue of humans not being able to organise themselves so as to avoid bad environmental concquences of their actions.

Well, river->ocean->co2 farming algea->death to algae->increase co2 in atm.
Right?
So stuffing all your bad shit in…. but yea, the foam is irrelevant to that point, was it framed that way, then I missed it.

Well, armadillos are on the move northward in the US, apparently due to warmer winters from global warming, so there’s that.

(If you haven’t had the pleasure of those creatures destroying your garden/yard, then just wait. They be fun!)

I think most of the toxic foam around here is spewing from the lefties posting about Rittenhouse,Trump and global warming.

the toxic foam isn't anything new, it happened last year in the Netherlands in it ended up drowning i think 6 experienced surfers

That wasn't toxic, or even anything necessarily to do with pollution.
Sea spume can be a totally natural phenomenon.

Poor armadillos being killed for just being armadillos. I think Mother earth news exaggerates too much. Besieged I think is way too strong of a word for a few armadillos digging up Aunt Bee's flower garden. :rolleyes:

They have been moving northwards for decades.
