Nope. There is nothing we can do to stop the inevitable collapse of vertibrate life in the ocean. This type of extinction even has happened at least two other times in the past.
It’s going to get very bad before humanity wakes up.

In the toilet? Clearly it belongs in the bin. Didn’t they read the sign?

Yeah I feel sorry for anyone who will be alive in 50 years. There is a pretty good chance there will be a global famine due to ecological collapse of the world’s oceans that wipes out hundreds of millions of people if not billions.
It’s too late to save the whales.

Like with Obama’s joke about Trump this week saying that the White House renovations made the building look like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”.
The GOP flipped out about the cheesecake factory part, but not about the comparison to Saddam.
For those not in the know, Trump’s style of decorating has a name that existed long before 2016, it’s called “dictator chic” and it is the same decorating style Saddam, Qaddafi, other dictators and drug lords embrace.

How is that even insulting?

And then there’s the look. If we were in public and I got out of line I’d get the warning look. I never needed another warning from my dad and was grateful to have a warning. My mom’s second warning was the subtle pinch. The odds were about 50/50 that dad would hear about it, if it got to the pinch. Not falling in line after the pinch, well that was just unfathomable. I guess in my mind I felt like I would not survive the resulting punishment for that transgression so it always ended there.
As long as the line wasn’t crossed, they were a blast to be around and were very engaged, especially dad. But being a latchkey kid meant a lot of unsupervised time where I could get into trouble.

Starkly genuine in their desire to be influencers.

My greatest generation grandmother could not get it through her head that long distance calls didn’t cost anything extra. A lifetime of worry about long distance charges is not an easy thing to stop, especially if you lived through the depression.
My kids are on my ass all the time about not responding to text messages or phone calls. IDGAF about my phone and only make sure I have it with me when I leave the house.
I still don’t get their outrage about me reading a text and then not replying for hours or even days. Why do you care? It’s just a text message, if it was important that you get my reaction right away, you’d call.

Not the boomers in my family. We love avocado toast, except for my Trumper ex sister who has the taste of a McDonald’s connoisseur.
Come to think of it, a severe lack of taste in food, art, clothes, architecture, etc… seems to be a defining characteristic of MAGA.

Oh no, I was taught to be polite, or there would likely be violence. The threat of Dad’s punishment was always on the table.

because 42 would have been too obvious.

Yeah but doing that doesn’t kill the reputation of the unions in the eyes of the workers.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post Is Obsessed With Union-Bashing 2 weeks ago:
I often wonder if a wealthy individual (or several) encouraged the mob to infiltrate unions in the last century in order to destabilize them.
- Comment on assuming the world is undergoing a complete and radical transformation at the moment, what is preventing more people from "waking up" and seeing the trends happening? 5 weeks ago:
Most people are shallow and artless. They’re not even well informed or educated enough to be apathetic. Apathy implies knowing the pot is boiling and deciding not to get out of it. They don’t even know the pot is boiling.
I work with a lot of Indians. They have been shocked recently by the arrest of some of their American born children by ICE. The children were thankfully returned but after talking to them I discovered they had no clue that the US is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing of non whites. And these are all people with masters degrees at least.

It had the added benefit of creating an “accidental” wet t-shirt contest.

I’m convinced that a lot of teen girls who are now identifying as trans or non binary are really just trying to get the stupid boys to leave them alone.

Don’t make the assumption of thinking all cops are equally evil.
You are right. They are on a spectrum of evil.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 2 months ago:
Yes, I was referencing that video.

And it’s not even just the homeless who are affect by shit like this. I can’t tell you how many park benches I slept on in my twenties when I lived in Europe and I’d stay out too late and have to chill out somewhere until morning.
In America you can’t take a nap in your car or even read a book in your car without having the cops hassle you.
I wonder what the cops are going to do when all vehicles are driverless.

What’s a good way to store dried goods like rice, beans and pasta so you have a substantial supply that you routinely top off, while eating the oldest you have in stock?

Duckweed and algae are much easier to grow and grow a hell of a lot faster. They can also be used to clean your water.
