Pay you back? For oil you gleefully slurped up to build your standard of living? Jesus, you people are fucking dumb. I think a few mega billionaires should buy all the oil companies and just shut down all oil production immediately.
That look of smug joy on your face as it morphed into absolute terror at what the world would become and how your standard of living would go to shit would be worth it.
We all did this, only liars claim to be a victim of the oil companies. Our lifestyle is built on oil. It's time to wean ourselves off, but stop lying about the root cause and drearily scapegoating.

I get it, everyone wants a bad guy and they want to use mental associations to trick people into thinking this is "just like cigarettes!"
But it's all lies. Everyone fucking knew about climate change, it's as simple as can be. Carbon dioxide (and other gases) are greenhouse gases. And we're making them from carbon in the ground. It's not fucking rocket science.
Yet you have retards who deny that it does any such thing to this day. Literally people who can't concede even the most basic of science, and they gish gallop absolute nonsense that they believe because the people who are against climate change are "leftists".
Then you have the fact that even if "Big Oil" had, in 1980, said "Sorry guys, we're killing the planet" and stopped producing oil they would have nationalized that shit at gunpoint immediately.
Nobody wants to compromise their standard of living. They want to demonize "Big Oil" to salve their conscience, but look at how people absolutely panic at $5/gallon gas in the US. Imagine $20/gal gas and what it would do to the economy and our standard of living. You are a fucking liar if you think people would stand for that, and the same people crying about oil companies would shriek hysterically about the impact on the poor.
It's all a farce and a made-up narrative where "if nonly Big Oil had told us, we would have stopped!!".

Rarely. The freeways are mostly 65Mph. If you go 65mph you need to be in the far right lane, and you'll still get tailgated.
Then the next lane is for the grandmas going 70 mph. Lane 3 is for 75-82, and the left lane you will get tailgated even going 82 or so pretty often.

Fucking bullshit. They have to be developed to the point where they are better than humans, that takes time. But once it's done it's done and the roads are both safer and more efficient.

You lot call everything "hype". The "hype" around AI is deserved it's going to be transformational over the next decade.
But I get it, it's cooler to be all cynical and shit, ahahaha.

Yes, because huge chunks of photoshop travel along with the image and provide its ongoing functionality. Jesus.

"Victim blaming" is a phrase people use to prevent criticism of people who do dumb shit that others should learn from.

There is no remedy. There has never in history been a country to somehow confiscate even a fraction of 300 million plus guns.
You are making things up.

How stupid. Might as well complain about some other immutable fact of life. "I mean, why are people so meeeaaannn to each other."
What remedy that could have been implemented even 50 years ago that would prevent pistols from being used, do you imagine?

It's enough from these crybabies. Reddit needs to just remove and ban the mods being little babies about this.

Far too often I use the phrase "sick burn" with an overly ironic intonation. This may be the first time I have ever felt the need to use it completely unironically.
That, my friend, is indeed a sick burn.
