Those islands have different rules. Longest I’ve ever waited for bags

Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I’m in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy

They only run out of overhead room because dickbags put a carry-on and their personal item in the bin. Your personal item goes under the seat.

I try to keep a small glimmer of hope that we come to our sense and make dramatic changes over the next 20 years, but I doubt it.

If we were to invest our resources heavily into reversing these trends I think it’s possible, but that would have to be humanity’s collective goal. We can’t even agree to stop murdering each other though so yeah it’s bad

Nuclear energy is both sustainable and safe. It was given a bad reputation by the fossil fuel industry to keep us buying oil.

Well here we are. We could have eliminated the vast majority of fossil fuel use by the 1960s when solar and wind energy were in their infancy.

And it’s a shame that we became scared of one of the greatest technologies we ever created.

Nuclear accidents have killed using the most extreme number 45,000 people. Directly meltdowns have killed less than 100. The middle ground estimates average out around 5,000, but let’s give the most extreme number possible for the sake of the argument. These numbers are including projected cancer rates.

Cars annually kill 1.19 million people in comparison.

Even if you were to add nuclear weapon usage to the numbers you’d still barely be close to these numbers. Plus every time there’s been an nuclear accident new technologies and safe guards are deployed. 40,000 of that estimated/projected death toll is from Chernobyl.

Pretty much, I struggle to see any real human achievement in my lifetime. Sure we invented phones and computers are faster than ever before. We haven’t really done anything worthwhile. No real improvements in the human condition.

We have fun content, but our planet is going to cook

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison to modern day.

People were experimenting with steam engines for 1,000 years sure, but this wasn’t 1,000 years of dedicated research.

It was more like someone discovered the principle, then someone re-discovered the same principle 200 years later in a different, and repeat. Every time interest was lost. It wasn’t until much later that people started to build off of each other and actually pursue technology.

There now it’s legal

Beans, edamame, lentils…

Somehow you turned something so lighthearted into something so pointlessly judgemental.

Like yeah we shouldn’t eat sugary cereals, and if it’s expensive a good alternative is to cut it out. This is just facts.

No need to go digging around their post history like that. It’s just kinda weird

Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.

This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment
