Everyone is a Human Rights Activist

The difference is if they are being an activist FOR human rights or AGAINST human rights

What is this high school?

American government sounds more and more like the varsity sports team of America High

Are you nuts? That’s a limited resource that’s going to burn out in about 4 billion years!

Fossil fuel is renewable … we just have to wait millions of years for it renew itself

Then wait a little longer until we get to the point where gas is so expensive that even subsidized fuel is no longer affordable.

I was going to make fun of this thread by saying some dumb thing but then I noticed your comment … this is your thread now … my condolences to you and your family … and you should clear coat that section of the wall to preserve it forever … and if you ever renovate or change your house … carefully carve out that section of wall, frame it and display it as a family heirloom.

Just wait until we can’t afford gas any more … everyone will start bicycling, running, walking and using public transit and asking for trains like it was the logical thing to do all along.

Sounds more like a new line up of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of those suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute narcissism

Even if you have 30 years of life left, I don’t think the average person (including me) could survive 30 days in a deserted island. Which means you would spend the rest of your life there.

Because your dishwasher knows how drunk you are and is trying to tell you those aren’t fries and they’re not the microwave

*Political violence is quintessentially American Conservatism

A lot of that historical violence has been directed at minorities, social groups, marginalized groups, Indigenous people, LGBTQ+, union workers, blacks, Hispanics, women

If you want to narrow it all down … most of the American political violence, the majority of it over the past 200 years was driven by white Christian males who believe they are a ruling class and need to be on top overpowering everyone else for their own personal benefit … usually with the lame excuse that it is God’s will. And I honestly also don’t believe it has anything to do with God or Christianity or even religion … it’s just a small entitled group of people who just want all the power, all the money and all the control … you know the same jungle mentality of that one male monkey who wants all the bananas and all the females and be able to pound their chest and make everyone scared.

I’m Indigenous Canadian and this does not mean I want to jump over the political cliff and call for the end of all white Christian males … I’m just pointing out the history … and what I believe is that we can all coexist together without any one group dominating over another and everyone just living together equally - socially and economically.

Terrorism? … someone can just rob a bank and get away with it

The local news would post a picture asking people if they saw someone dressed up like ICE

Kicks down the door with his non-vampire partner who enters first … non-vampire steps inside the building and tells his vampire friend to come in

We were helping to move a friend from one house to another years ago. It was all rushed with little time to do or plan anything … we had to move truckloads towing trailers full of all their things and drive 400km to make a deadline. And we had to start by driving to them 500km away first! And it all had to happen within 20 hours … it was complete insanity. I ended up driving, packing, working, then driving again non-stop for about 30 hours to everything to the new house. And midway through the trip of hauling everything, we drove through the biggest lightning rain storm I’ve seen in years. The only way to keep things from getting totally soaked was to keep moving.

I remembering driving past the rain and weather and it was 4am and we were dead tired and couldn’t stay awake. We parked on the side of the road and I sat in my driver seat and finally fell asleep. Unfortunately, I was so full of coffee, sugar and food that I couldn’t really sleep … my body went offline and my brain kept racing. I started dreaming that I was still driving and in my driving dream, I kept pushing myself to stay awake and not drift off the road. In my dream, I kept dozing off and wandering on the road. In the dream, I kept scaring myself, held on to the steering wheel and bolted awake again … and again … and again. Finally, still in the dream, I fell asleep and as I dozed off I knew I was drifting off the highway at speed and I could see and feel the truck crashing into the bushes, the trees and into the forest …

I bolted wide awake back into reality, gripped the steering wheel like a madman and slammed on the horn and the brakes as hard as I could … I was still sitting quietly on the highway shoulder. My cousin in the other truck walked over and asked if I was OK and asked why I just sounded my horn.

I was so freaked out by the experience that I stayed awake for the rest of the drive.

The rest of us standing there just looking at them

If you run away to an island after only half an hour of work … I don’t think you’ll be spending 30 years there … you’ll be spending the rest of your life there

It makes you realize why we want to destroy the world so easily when we only ever see the world as being convenient for us only and not for all life no matter what shape or form it comes in.

Little Fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

• poem by William Blake

I remember reading a long time ago that most insects are a very protein dense food source … beef when looking at the whole cow is about 50%-60% protein overall … while an insect is about 90% protein.

Meanwhile, hard liquor and alcohol are supposed to mean that you are normal and the good guy.
