Exposing the stupidity, lies, and hypocrisy of Social Justice Warriors since July 2012

TBF the enabling lefty intelligentsia have a fig leaf to hide behind. Apparently globalism is inevitable, just the way it is, and the sooner the silly rubes accept that the better. Just why it's inevitable, I'm not quite sure, but my betters tell me it is.
No sane place wants to be a mini California, this is true, at least in terms of social policy. Wanting to do something about climate is not so crazy. I'm a bit concerned about the state of the discussion about the issue in Australia. Perhaps it's better than I think, but if the relentless stupidity out of Sky is anything to go by then things are bad. Almost all of the anti-woke commentators I follow now are including climate change in the general category of woke propaganda. Anti-AGW has now become as much of a cause with the right, even the centre right, as AGW is with the left. Nobody seems to be listening to the scientists anymore, who seem to be saying that the situation is worse than they thought. This is even causing me to seriously consider that maybe it is time for the US to dump Trump. While he is way better than the alternative in so many respects there is only so much gutting of research budgets and promotion of ignorance that can be tolerated.Brive1987 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 3:26 pmNope I was not banned.

Good lord, I should start charging my wife for the cut and dye job I do for her! Did you know the chemical in hair dye is the same as in C-41 process colour film developer? Ethylene diamine, which we treat carefully in the darkroom and wear gloves to handle, is rubbed into the scalps of grey ladies around the world. Amazing. I still wear rubber gloves.
Holy shit. Really? I used to work in 1hr photo. I recall the fumes from the colour developer being particularly evil. You'd hold you're breath while around it, but you could still feel the miasma irritating the back of your throat.screwtape wrote: ↑ Good lord, I should start charging my wife for the cut and dye job I do for her!

I was gonna say. She's marketed herself as 'still just Alexandra from the block' all this time, but you don't get to call yourself 'normal' when you can pay $300 for a sodding haircut. The most expensive salons in the city, excluding any additional procedures, is $45 (give or take). I paid $20 for mine last and that was because I had a full length of hair and I wanted to cut it short. If I'd just come in for a trim it would have been cheaper. If Alexandra's cohorts think that $300 is a 'normal' fee (or not out of the ordinary), then maybe they need to reflect on what 'normal' actually means and whether or not their 'normal' is out of touch with the rest of us plebs.2.

I dated a hairdresser and she'd cut my hair for free. She made me get naked first. I asked her why, and she said to clean off the cut hair easier. I went along with it as it was kinda sexy. She never explained what the ball gag and butt plug were for.
The approach of the AGW-religious is all wrong, and the reason for the polarisation. Demanding generalised "action" is never going to get anywhere. The way to approach it is to make specific, concrete proposals that can have a business and environmental case made. Those individual proposals will be easier to get through and harder to argue against (assuming they are actually well thought out and reasoned, and not just virtue signalling, e.g. plastic straw bans). I regret Australia didn't go the nuclear path. Nuclear instead of coal makes so much sense for Australia.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑No sane place wants to be a mini California, this is true, at least in terms of social policy.

I agree with a sentiment, but a quick clarification on wording as I've made this mistake in the past as well. In the context of climate change politics, 'mitigation' has come to mean something very different than one would expect from its definition. Mitigation refers to actions that address the causes of climate change, whereas adaptation refers to actions that reduce damage due to climate change. So what you're referring to is adaptation, not mitigation, in the current vernacular. https://www.activesustainability.com/cl ... te-change/John D wrote: ↑The only response to Climate Change is mitigation.

Smells like ammonia, doesn't it? Talking of which, I used to make my own monobath (a single solution development process for B&W film) from ammonia, developer and fixer. Using that in a small washroom with the door shut for darkness was hard on the lungs, but the results were acceptable otherwise. Not a bad trade-off: Peezus smells far worse and his results are shit.Tigzy wrote: ↑Holy shit. Really? I used to work in 1hr photo.

In order to do all of that one would need to understand that there is a serious problem to solve. The likes of Sky are pushing the hoax, scientific conspiracy and "what sea level rise?" line of bullshit and it appears to be catching on if internet comments amongst conservatives are anything to go by.Keating wrote: ↑Fri Oct 11, 2019 1:21 pmThe approach of the AGW-religious is all wrong, and the reason for the polarisation.

The fury of the Woke's hatred of Tulsi is fascinating. She's actually pretty far left, though largely eschews the SJW positions (e.g., open orders) so dear to the leftist white elite. Plus, after the way Tulsi kneecapped Kamala, they reasonably fear her next target will be their beloved Lizzie.
Well, the leftist MSM has essentially blacklisted her. Which is what they do to inconvenient candidates. After the second debate, when Delaney did such a fine job poking holes in Lizzie's pipe dreams, the only network to interview him was FOX.... her frequent appearances on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show have buoyed her support in right-wing circles.
Why do you think that "reducing CO2" will slow their economies? Decoupling CO2-e intensity from economic development requires technological advancement.

Maintaining the status quo will help GDP growth, what with all of the climate change amplified disasters requiring cleanups and rebuilding. Not so good for societies and local economies though.

I understand it as a case of CIA funded agitators (which became ISIS) and the Pentagon funded Kurds fighting each other both done with the purpose of overthrowing Assad back from a time when Clinton thought it would help her chances of getting elected if her strong involvement in pushing to topple odious Middle Eastern leaders was apparent ("We came, we saw, he died"). The Kurds likely supporting the PKK, communist extremists that have been causing trouble in Turkey for years, and have been recognised as terrorists for decades. I'm not sure that the US' continued involvement would make things better, given that their involvement thus far is the reason things are so fucked up. (A strong failure of the Obama administration). That's not to say that it makes sense for Turkey to be in NATO. Or that it makes sense for NATO to exist now that the USSR no longer exists.mordacious1 wrote: ↑ Jerry and the denizens of WEIT are bemoaning the fact that Trump has abandoned the Kurds in Syria to their fate.
