Yeah. I’m tired of outrage culture. It’s exhausting.

Jordan Peterson walked it back. No harm no foul. All he did was present an idea. Sheesh. I disagree with that point, but I’m not ‘done’ with him. I wonder what positions/comments that blonde was referring to when she said she was done with JP.

Before this Peterson stuff people got so wrongly triggered about, i was merely playing some games, and watching a few compilation videos about sovereign citizens running into police heh.

Really? When did you get sucked into all this? Ie. Red pilled.

I just meant this newest crazy, not how i've been dealing with these groups for a very long time.

Ah. I got red pilled maybe 2-3 years ago. Lol

Wasn’t ever on the left, I just never knew how bad the far left really was until then. I may have been a rhino at that point in time. Lol

I've never been left or right (even tho its not bad to be on a side), i've just thought its better to agree with the best ideas no matter the party/group. I wouldn't even know how long ago i've been fighting unreasonable people..... a few decades. In a effort to learn more about whats happening, 10 or more years i guess.

Interesting.

Wacky question? Have you noticed any authoritarianistic tendencies in environmentalism?

Authoritarianism is more likely inevitable in environmentalism, if people don't follow what they think is best. They will have to start controlling what people are able to do and not do.

Yeah. I’ve kind of noticed that. I argue with some on an energy news website. They always argue for more government control.

I wish we got more nuclear power, but people are still to worried about it. Even tho from everything i hear its very safe.

Ugh. I argue that a bunch. They spread so much misinformation about nuclear. It kills me.

We probably would be a majority nuclear country if the environmentalists hadn’t gone anti nuclear. No lie.

a lot of them are flipping now, as far as I can tell

Environmentalists? Yeah some, but not the ones I argue with. It’s insane what they say.

Shellenburger is an interesting guy, but he doesn’t necessarily characterize everything correctly.

He had a fairly good chat with Rubin once.

Yeah. I watched it. The environmentalists freaked out when he hosted Alex Epstein too. They think Rubin is just some Koch brother puppet.

he doesn't get money from them.....

its odd they still believe that.

Well, he did a collaboration with an organization that has some Koch funding. However, hosting Alex Epstein and not shouting him down is proof enough that he’s unclean.

I wouldn't really care who he collaborated with myself, as long as the person has good principles and hold to them.

Yeah. The jokers I argue with think the whole world should use 100% renewables. No questions asked. You are anti science if you disagree.

Don’t know what they think about agriculture yet, they could be even worse there.

Its always good to be smart about how we will treat this world. But that doesn't mean hurt the people living on it now, we will always get better at how we deal with renewable (technology wise) but right now, they cost more then they are worth.

Wind and solar are pretty cheap now. They just want to prevent nuclear with regulations. Even if it may be necessary for the future.

Wind and solar is some what cheap (after we pushed so much money in it) but it needs to get way better. They take up to much room and does cause there own environment problems and we aren't very good at storing the energy. It gives us very little of are overall % of energy. which isn't bad but like i said it still needs to get a lot better.

Well, that’s true to an extent, but the issue here is that these environmentalists practically think that supporting nuclear is a rejection of renewables. Apparently, you can’t support both.

which is silly.

Any money spent on nuclear is money taken away from renewables. No lie. That’s what they think

Do you just talk to hippies? heh

They aren’t all hippies. I think. Just inconsistent with applying principles.

It frustrates me.

Oh well, back to yelling at wrong people on the internet! (or maybe i'll go play a game).

Lol.

my entire news feed on FB has been hysterical

for 2 straight days

they are going absolutely insane and it's hilarious

Really? I may log into mine and see what has happened. Lol

the screeches heard around the world

My entire feed is literally just babies.

Only one political comment.

They are definitely not acting like victims. They're behaving like "social" terrorists

Just remember everyone you don’t like is a Russian bot on the internet

I don't do FB

Ye, environmentalism is absolute authoritarianism...how much do you know about diesel and the trucking industry?

@J Edgar not too much. I do know that California has made it mandatory to put solar panels on your roof top.

That only applys to new construction

Will add. 10k min to house cost which will only make housing prices higher and homelessness worse

Yes. But it’s still a mandate to make people buy solar, regardless if they want to or not.

True. Fun California facts. 1 of 3 welfare recipients live in California 1 of 4 homeless and California ranks 2 in income inequality

Really? California also has about a sixth of the population. That’s pretty disproportionate. Do you think homeless people migrate to California?

Well every now and then a state gets caught sending their homeless to another state. But California has the best benefits for homeless. In the 48. Hawaii is better.

I need to brush up on welfare statistics.

I’d post more links but

Do you have any other links?

I can. But little busy atm

Oh. Ok.

Why does everyone want to move at the same time. I swear I’ve moved at least 15 couches these last 2 weeks! I hate family

Lol. I understand. I moved at the same time as my sister. It just worked out that way.

Some of the comments on this article are insane

You know, i thought i was done dealing with Owen and his fans after his issue with suicide (he doesn't understand the issue that well, but isn't the worst). Then his issue with Free Speech, and after he said sorry to Rogan (which was good, if not lacking). I thought maybe he would learn and not be irrational all the time. Oh well, i still will listen to anyone if they makes any good arguments. I just haven't seen any in a while.

anyone playing/watching anything good?

@Shadows I’m looking up random stuff on the internet. Not watching anything.

What does Owen not get about suicide?

@Salacious Swanky Cat Because of what his dad put him through, he put up so bad takes on it (so not solely his fault).

Oh. Was his dad a dick?

he says his dad would keep saying he would kill himself as a kid.

Oh. Scary. Was that a way to get back at his parents or something?

My younger sister would always say everyone hated her if she didn’t get her way.

Not really sure how he handled it, he put up some bad videos on the topic tho after Anthony Bourdain calling it a selfish act.
But i really like Doctorrandomercam's take on it tho, ever see his videos?

Don’t know who Doctorrandomercam is. The idea that suicide is selfish isn’t uncommon. I understand why people think that.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE DOC! (ok i will relax).

heh

I probably don’t know of half of the YouTube community. I really only know of a handful of people.

that's cool

I know of a bunch of names, but I haven’t really watched their videos.

is it bad to link stuff here, or should i just post it in videos.

I don’t know. Just put it in videos to be sure.

Or DM me.

Doc is one of the best MRAs (Men's Right's Advocate if someone isn't sure). Not everyone needs to be one.
But if you want to check out his videos. He is very good at almost everything he does. Or i could suggest stuff if you are ever interested.

Interesting. I don’t necessarily agree with his position on suicide, but I do think there are injustices for men.

suicide is a touchy topic for sure for a lot of people. I struggled with it for years

It's an emotional trap. Do you make yourself (and others) weak by making it a touchy subject, or do you put the, uh, [suicidee?] in a negative connotation and upset people? A conversation killer to be sure.

What's the status on kavanaugh riots?

@Holo they’re taking a break at nearby trauma centers because their participation not resulting in them winning the trophy of the SCOTUS seat is now a form of assault.

What should my Halloween decorations be? Anything is on the table.

Trump and kavanaugh pumpkins

Lol. I kinda want to do some Pepe stuff. I think that’d be hilarious. It might ostracize me from my neighbors though

I want to go as drunk kavanaugh

<:doge:434110641071063042>

I want my house to scare my super lefty neighbor (without actual white supremacy; I don’t want *that* crowd coming over. Lol)

are you sure? We could get hyperborean and Kayla back in here and they'd come over

Lol. How about not. I want my neighbor to look at my house decorations and freak out. I want to troll irl.

I can’t do anything related to Islam because I live in a college town that has a bunch of Muslims.

I don't have any lefties to troll here. Mostly well meaning conservatives who just want to be left alone
