Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
It's genuinely fucking hilarious that there is so little white supremacy in the United States that the SPLC had to pay to create it, so they could fight it. lmao
@mazemoore@CollinRugg Actually proposed to my wife inside of one (during inflation) and then went up in the balloon after for a sunrise cruise. First time for both of us and it was awesome, but she was afraid of dropping the ring the whole time 😂
You’re spot on, @KatiePavlich.
Local communities do NOT want this.
I’ve reached out to three different federal agencies on their behalf.
Appreciate you highlighting this.
@AshtonForbes Bob Lazar describes that his hands were repelled by a force that felt just like a magnet but it was just his bare hands feeling this force. It’s an unknown force generated by a non-earth element and may not be able to be recreated on earth without more of said non-earth element.
@Savsays@julie_kelly2 This looks much worse than the neck injury most would sustain from a hard rear-end collision in a car.
No idea it was coming so she was loose and her neck snaps back violently. Horrible.
How did none of the men knock that guy out immediately???
Senator Thune still refuses to put the Senate in formal recess. If the Senate were in recess, Trump could fill critical administration roles, and hire at a rapid pace. I pray that Trump's comms focuses on this issue, rather than the pro-wrestling style podcast beefs.
@Cernovich Demoralization. 100%.
The lack of any significant prosecutions so far has done more to demoralize the base than probably any other issue, including Iran.
US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate"
my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations.
poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable
the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point
we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it
the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive
@Cernovich Yes, this is all very ridiculous.
Good luck finding a solid Trump supporter that doesn’t listen to at least one of the mentioned personalities/podcasts.
The whole idea of "incompetent to stand trial" is fucking nonsense. If you're too "incompetent" to understand that you shouldn't butcher an innocent woman on the train, you should die. Period. Arrest, convict, execute. You are not fit to be a part of human society. How many more innocent people must we sacrifice for the sake of coddling and babying the absolute scum of the Earth? Our ancestors had it right. They would have had this guy hanging from the gallows an hour after conviction. The old system of justice was light years better than this insane bullshit we're dealing with now.
