That’s not an assumption, it’s a set of reasonable steps. We need batteries, the metals used in batteries are getting harder to find in nature, cars have batteries containing the material we need. Thus we will find a way to recycle the batteries.

I’m all for healthy cynicism, but if there’s a shit load of money to be made doing something, people will find a way to do it.

I mean, the materials can be recycled. We haven’t needed to because of rabid capitalist exploitation, but as the need for these materials grows and mining becomes less feasible they can and will be recycled.

When pets go they take a part of us with them, but they’re worth it all the same. In the end, all you can do is give them the best life you can and appreciate all the love they give.

Hug your pets everybody.

One of my most surreal gaming experiences was playing helldivers with a player I didn’t know. They said they liked the game because it “wasn’t political”. I was just fucking flabbergasted.

God, and I can’t say this with my entire chest, fucking dammit. You got me.

Floof* auto correct is a scourge.

Hey, she’s royalty. Royalty of hell, but that’s just semantics.

She’s pretty aloof most of the time, but when I’m in my computer chair she will come sit on my lap and make biscuits or just drape over my arm.

Oh yeah, her hair gets everywhere.

She’s more of a really dark brown/black than pure black. She’s our little soot sprite.

Yep, just select join to a domain in the bottom left when it asks for your Microsoft account.

We’re at that point where we have started to realize that laws are just words on paper unless someone enforces them.

The battle of Blair mountain, John Brown, hell, the Black Panthers. Peace is good, but without the threat of violence it falls easily.

I tried the swedish fish Oreo once and can accurately say they are an offense to God and man.

That would make some sense, but I’m doubtful about the bullet caliber. I’ve seen what 30-06 does to large game, and it very rarely stops even when hitting bone. Especially if he was shot with a hunting round (which are designed to flare out and dump energy) we would have seen a truly massive exit wound.

You know, I was trying to come up with a well reasoned argument as to why you’re wrong, but I realized that you had no intention to actually discuss. You came here to clutch your pearls and cry “so much for the tolerant left, they’re the real bad guys!”

So instead, fuck you.

“Won’t someone think of the dead white nationalist? Sure, he was racist, hateful, and spread nothing but misinformation and pain, but he was also a human. Therefore you should only feel sorry for him.” Fuck that. Do I think anyone should be killed for their beliefs? No. Am I required to feel sorry because his chickens came home to roost at a tremendously ironic time? Also no.

I mean, he is demonstrably dead, unless you’ve got some info that the rest of us don’t. He can have thoughts and prayers for all the good it will do him.

Jokes on them, I named my sword “my last email”
