The guy who created Fortnite (Tim Sweeney) has been quietly buying up U.S. forests to save them from developers.
He has spent over $200M to buy 50,000+ acres of wilderness in North Carolina, using permanent legal protections to block any future logging or building.
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
We are PRIVATE citizens, the government should know very little if anything about us at all.
They are PUBLIC officials, we should know damn near everything about what they are doing.
The cameras are pointed the wrong way.
High af. As a touch deprived child it took me so long to realize my dog just wants me to pet him for no reason sometimes. I’m like you are fed, housed, and appear to be fully functioning. Why r u in my face. I had not accounted for the rest of love. Love to me was only surviving.
same type of thing happened w me and my friend i used to work w and now we barely speak bc i don’t feel like i can talk about anything personal w out worrying who else will here it and how it’ll be twisted
I took two personal days from work because I was mentally exhausted and desperately needed a reset.
On the second day, I was having lunch at a resort with my sister when my manager called asking why I wasn’t at home resting. I was confused because I had never told anyone where I was going. I hadn’t posted anything online, checked in anywhere, or shared photos with anyone.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
I had applied for a job that required expert proficiency in data analysis. I only knew how to use basic Excel, but I needed the money, so I lied on my resume.
On my third day, my boss asked me to build a complex data model by Friday.
I spent the next three days locked in my room watching YouTube tutorials and copying code. I barely slept.
Friday morning came, and I presented the project with total confidence, using every big corporate word I could think of. My boss looked at the screen, then looked at me, and said, “This is the cleanest work I have seen all year. We need to promote you.”
I led the department for a year, and I still searched Google every single morning on how to do basic things.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
