Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

Isn't this a crime? It should be.

 

Inciting people to harass others and resulting in death threats.

 

 

Big Machine Label Group's headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, was forced to shut down early on Friday, at 12:30 p.m. local time, due to direct and hostile death threats being made to employees of the company.

The source believes that Taylor Swift fans are going to extremes to leak personal contact information and addresses of company employees -- not just Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta. 

 

The news comes after Swift took to social media on Thursday to allege that Braun, Borchetta, and her former label, Big Machine Records, are preventing her from performing a medley of her hits at the American Music Awards and stalling production on a planned Netflix documentary. In her post, the singer urged fans to "let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this."

Saw the movie True Lies for the first time last night very fun movie! Arnold is at his game with it, and Bill Paxton and Tom Arnold are hilarious. I loved the action scenes in it and some of the humor. the one-liners are funny too. The villains are interesting and Tia Carrere is one evil bitch.
 

And also quick question for the guys am I the only who thought Jamie Lee Curtis looked hot in bra and panties dancing? 


grade: B+

 

Still one of my favor Ah-nold movies. Wish they had made a sequel.

Toss everything that you have or eat that isn't made in a 100km radius.

Fight for the climate now and lead the battle !

 

Really unsure that a good strategy, modern long distance maritime transport is so efficient that usually shipping is an extremely small proportion of an good climate impact, for a famous example global warming wise someone living in England is better off eating New Zealand lamb than UK lamb.

 

Now it would be better for global warming to not eat lamb at all, but if you are to consume something you are often better to buy one that was made where it was the most efficient (climate, how electricity is made there, etc...) than locally, that will tend to be the cheaper, that is what people already tend to do.

 

Doing local coffee in a heated greenhouse to buy local instead of importing it would be a terrible affair.

People  ALWAYS deflect in these arguments and you are no stranger to it.

Problem :

 

laws of physics have no passion, sentiment, empaty, anger or any kind of feeling or opinion, you just have to deal with the fabric of our world.

 

The substract that to this arguments lead to nowhere.

 

The Meadows rapport written 45 years ago explained everything on how our energy/ressources gobling societies function, how EVERYTHING is interconnected to an insane degree, and 45 years on,  you wouldn't have to change a single word today.

 

Let s say, you impose a worldwide ban on meat tomorrow and see what happens ...

 

But us, the energy gobblers can't realize anything because we were all born in a world of abundance that has a very limited shelf life.

 

Simply put :

 

the person with the lowest income of a developped country in 2020 (just before you become a homeless person) had better living conditions than the aristocrats and kings and queens and the bourgeoisie  of centuries past, starting in the late 1800's ( guess what happened at that time ...).

 

This is a reality NO ONE is willing to accept, trust me I tried and people laugh at the idea.

 

But again, ENERGY don't care about people s opinion and sentiment.

 

Another number to keep in mind, we use the energy equivalent of 1 200 human slaves per day (arms, legs), working 24/24 for us, to allow us to be lazy motherfuckers with everything at our disposal with minimum effort.

 

We are all Iron Man- Superman people with an energy endoskeleton and we don't realize  it, especially the insane scale of it.

 

You think we ended slavery because humans became wise  with more empathy & people of the past were evil ?

That s a comforting and soothing thought to have no doubt.

 

Man/Wah-Man didn't end slavery or at least its more extreme form :

 

coal, oil  and the electricity grid did.

 

Sorry to break all of your illusions folks.

But physic law's do not care about deflection and people's, it stay the same a 100km rules do sound like a bad choice and almost impossible to apply, how one track the iron, the oil, etc... used in a product to know if they were made in a 100km radius, it would be using way less energy efficient product most of the time just to save long distance maritime transport, something that is a really small part of world emissions (lower than Internet by now)

I watched that Harry Styles episode of SNL from over the weekend last night. The skits were hit and miss but he's actually better at comedy than I expected and fully embraced the absurdity of some of them. Cast him in a comedy please! Oh yeah and Jon Hamm showed up as Bill Taylor during the cold opening which presented the impeachment hearings like a soap opera. Apparently Sara Lee got up in arms over this skit and briefly turned off their comments section on Instagram afterwards lol:
