Not to sound like the worst person you meet at college but I think a lot of people could benefit from learning a bit more about climate change instead of avoiding everything about it out of fear. Because when you know a bit more about what’s actually going on it becomes less unknown less scary and you also realize that it’s not as simple or dire as you think. Not to say that it isn’t quite bad because it is but there’s a lot of reason for hope. The world isn’t about to end day after tomorrow style
ITS LITERALLY SO ANNOYING. to have this conversation over and over again “so what are you studying” “environmental science” ohhh wowoooowwwwww I could NEVER do that I’d get too stressed and depressed but I’m so glad some people are able to handle it" from the bottom of my heart. I understand where you’re coming from. I appreciate the fear you feel and you’re reacting to a very real very scary situation. but from the bottom of my heart you do not understand what studying environmental science entails. Again. Sorry I know this makes me sound like every insufferable college student. But like. Please
i think banishment is the funniest possible spell you can cast on someone. like i’m not even going to fight you. YOU’RE going to leave. you have no choice.
a guy i banished to the desert 10 years ago finally tracks me down after years of plotting his revenge and i immediately banish him to the desert again
99.99% of rap haters have never even listened to rap. or if they have it’s like one gangsta rap song & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it’s representative of every rap song ever. and well of course they are also just racist
first & last line still stand even if rap was a monolith and all rap was gangsta rap. btw
Rap is great! Everyone knows the worst genre of music is country
99.99% of country haters have never even listened to country. or if they have it’s like one post-9/11 pop country song by a rich poser & they treat the genre as a monolith and act like it’s representative of every country song ever. and well of course they are also just classist
i would lecture you about the importance of jazz in US history and african american history and music history but you’re a swiftie so there is no hope for you
oh my god this is me. i was addicted to designer amphetamines and completely delusional at the time of writing this. i had lost forty pounds and thought i was hot shit. i thought i was the reincarnation of Kurt Vonnegut. this was serious, and my friends laughed when they saw this go viral on twitter. it made me realize i had issues and im sober now. im also shocked i managed to stay employed at that time. To answer your question: im from LA but I grew up all around. I was living between Baltimore and NYC at the time. My mom is a beautiful Italian woman (Milan by way of Bolzano) and my dad is an insufferable Mexican from Montreal.
fwiw, my Reddit was suspended for this, im doing a lot better now, life is good, and im really happy :)
this is the most viscerally effective anti-drug PSA i’ve ever seen, not least because i think it’s plausibly true, unlike the ones i normally see
what’s funniest about the pacific rim scientists is like. when newt geiszler says he’s a scientist he means an old-timey 1910s entomologist wearing khaki shorts and a comically oversized pair of binoculars traipsing through the jungle capturing endangered species of butterfly and murmuring “egads!! fascinating…..” and scribbling it in his journal. when hermann gottlieb is being a scientist it’s literally the fucking manhattan project. tortured chainsmoking physicist. pawn of a war. repressed homosexual all his life. gets executed for being a communist. And they have to do each other’s peer review
