Maybe she's forgotten how to be human, she looks like a zombie.

She wasn't a primadonna or anything. More like a Zuckerberg, Like she was doing her best to pretend to be human.
There's a reason she's also known as Beetlejuice.

I love being in port because a) I can see everyone else's memes etc, and b) I can post things closer to the time of them being relevant.

Over 1000 Scientists and Professionals Sign Formal Declaration: “There is No Climate Emergency”

“There is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050.

Quoting from another forum, because it sums it up so daym perfectly.
Really, think about this: A 4.6 billion-year-old planet with an 8000-mile diameter, with an atmosphere that is only 50 miles/240,000ft thick (being rather generous), that orbits a star only 93 million miles away with 330,000 times the earth's mass and that emits enough radiation to burn your naked *** in 30 minutes, is having its weather unalterably changed over the course of the next 5/10/15 years (whatever it is now) by the presence of a weak greenhouse gas, CO2, that happens to now be at its lowest level in damn near the entire history of the planet -- a history punctuated by global glaciations while that weak greenhouse gas was far higher than it is now -- and that also happens to be the basis of plant life (and therefore atmospheric oxygen), a gas whose greenhouse effect is dwarfed by that of water vapor (on a planet with a surface area that consists of 70% water), and that geologically is currently in an interglacial period. The models that generated this political bullshit have predicted nothing correctly -- not sea level change, polar ice cover, or weather.
we measure c02 in parts per million. What else in our physical world that we measure in such small amounts goes from being necessary for life as we know it to an outright toxin through a doubling of concentration measured in ppm? I've looked and still can't find anything.

It's interesting to peruse the sources of funding for CLINTEL, as well as the backgrounds of its founders and ambassadors.

As is oft repeated in this forum, follow the money.

Joe, your comment about following the money caused me to think of the remarkable hypothesis this guest on this libertarian podcast proposed. 2187 The Ruling Elites Are Divided https://player.fm/1BRmfvb

I'm curious what anyone might think about European oligarchs versus the Federal Reserve as he proposes. I've not heard anything postulated like this elsewhere.

think of it as a $75 raise from a random moment in time from when it was worse.

Don't focus on the fact that it jumped so much over night. Be glad it is not $5 like it was a month ago...

Want Help Dying?

Euthanasia is legal in Canada since 2016. Now soldiers with PTSD are being asked if they want help offing themselves.

If you ever wondered why there are so many ardent supporters of abortion, just wait until what comes next...

To clarify: do you oppose people having the freedom to choose when to end their own life, and the de-criminalization of others assisting them in doing so?

He may be suggesting that others might “help” you with that decision, and voila - state-sanctioned post-natal “abortion.”

This is bull ****
www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna44456

if anyone who wasn't her husband or in position of power would have served a much more severe sentence. 5 days in jail for a DUI causing injury is ******* ridiculous.

They get more of a chance to decide than the aborted child.
