    Population crisis is a lie, we still have very high population compared to 1900's. A net reduction in population is not extinction

    This position is at least arguable. Carburettors emit more greenhouse gases than fuel injectors.

    I nearly never see people driving carbureted cars daily. Trucks, yeah, but not cars.

    be proud. you just took the first step of fixing your life, not hiding from the problem. of course so do you need to do more then just say there is problems in your life, but taking the first step towards fixing it is always good news. just don't give up and keep fightint for your dreams, even though it sometimes feel like you are going nowhere. that false, you are going somewhere even though it maybe does not look like it. and this comes from someone that have been struggling with similar things. so just remember, you are not alone even though it feels like it and there is people out there that will you well

    yeahhhh... my luck was not really on my side. my great grandma passed away not too long ago and we had her memorial yesterday, literally the day before my 18 birthday. really wonderful to say your last farewell to someone you love just before the birthday i have been looking forwards the most to. last time i fell a tear was January 3, 2023 around 09:20 in the morning, i was close to fell one today. i was especially when i was standing in front of her coffin putting down my rose on the coffin. while reading her name on the coffin.

    You know what? I'm gonna throw in my two cents.

    In 2007 my siblings and I lost our maternal grandmother to breast cancer. It was probably the first real loss any of us had experienced at that point, made all the more difficult by the fact she lived in a different part of the country, so we only ever got to see her for a few weeks of the year, at most. We headed her way when her condition deteriorated; my mom got the call she'd passed about 11 hours into a 14 hour drive (we couldn't afford to fly). My mom cried over breakfast that morning. I'm not sure if any of us had gotten any sleep.

    But this isn't about cancer. I do hate cancer, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't. And for all the harm it brings, it's a force of nature; it's not trying to hurt anyone. It's not cognizant of what it is or what it's doing. More than I can say for others...

    Anyway, my mother has always been a little too willing to buy into unreliable sources. Fad diets, essential oils, homeopathy: the works. Throughout the latter half of the 2000's and into the 2010's, she'd regularly get on a revolving door of diets and supplements from whatever sources stood out to her. In ~2011 she started some colon cleanse program, which claimed that if you regularly reduce consumption of carbs and double down on fiber 2-3 times a year, you can essentially evacuate your intestines of anything that might get permanently gummed up in them otherwise. She had us do it, too. Two weeks with basically no carbohydrates, and slowly reintroducing them to your diet over the following two weeks before going back to normal, until the next round 3-5 months later.

    And, yeah, it worked, the same way any diet ever does. It turns out that when you require yourself to pay close attention to what you put into your body, you tend to be more picky just by default. Most diets are just that; basic good advice, but in a shiny new wrapper. We'd lose weight and gain more energy after the first few days. Harmless at worst, temporarily healthy at best. Nothing to get too bent out of shape about, perhaps even commendable. Until you get to the reading material...

    A big sticking point with just about any alternative medicine is that they need to differentiate themselves from regular medicine. And they need to do it for the layperson: no dry research papers or verifiable statistics, just hollow promises and compelling edge-of-your-seat conspiracies. 'Big pharma will never declare a cure for cancer. They make far too much money from it! They know the truth and they want to stop you from learning it, at all costs!', says the quack. 'Yet, we know the truth, that my patented detox program will cure all ills!' I'm paraphrasing, of course. But regardless of what precisely was said, my mom broke down into tears at that point. She couldn't stomach the thought that, had she just known that a cure was one pamphlet away, one trivial 4-week program, her mother would still be with us. She blamed herself. This was 3-4 years later; my mother had just about moved past the pain by that point. A well-written book of bullshit brought it all back to the surface within days.

    A good grift will dissuade you from believing the truth for a charismatic lie. A really good grift will make you regret not believing the lie in the first place. It's genius.

    So, what is it that I hate? A charlatan.

    The EVs is so easy to destroy, in the snow, the EV can explode or it burns.
    And no have sound, the Gasoline and Hydrogen engine is best.
    And i hate the EVs, Audis, SUVs, 4x4 and Trucks.
    Only Sports, Never Trucks.

    I hate "automatic" paper towels dispensers. like they worked just fine before some genius decided to electrify them. they dispense SO SLOWLY TOO, slower than I could pull it out of a manual one. they're just so pointless imo, there's no need for them at all
