I cared once. But after years of doing everything I can to reduce my carbon footprint while watching the majority collectively bury their heads and refuse to acknowledge the science it just destroyed my mental health.

How can you go on living in a world in the midst of a major catastrophe while the assholes in charge do worse than nothing, while being cheered on by the average voter. The bad guys are making obscene profits and will be dead long before they have to deal with any of the consequences. Most people are too stupid and selfish to support any meaningful action.

The only peace to be found is in the knowledge that the species responsible for this will soon be extinct. Bring on the floods, fires and famine. The herd needs some serious thinning out. If the species survives, the descendants of oil executives and politicians should all go up against the fucking wall.

Polls mean nothing, what matters is how people vote on the day (assuming they can be bothered). The Murdoch press engages in propoganda and fake science because it works. Politicians act in the best interests of whoever funds their campaigns. Human nature at it’s finest

No one cares, haven’t you noticed? Not saying it isn’t the right thing to do, but the majority of voters just put their heads down and struggle through their own problems. It’shuman nature to be selfish and ignore problems that don’t immediately affect you. Climate change will wipe out most species on the planet, and if the universe is lucky, humans too. Life will go on just as it has after each mass extinction. We will either have changed our behaviour as a species or gone extinct. Either way the problem is solved.

I’ll concede a reversing camera and a sound system, but for everything else there’s your phone. Maybe include bluetooth in the car but that’s it tech wise. I feel like I’m already on a slippery slope.

I just want a fast dumb awd electric sports hatch. Think WRX but electric.

No self driving

No internet connection

No cameras

No screens

Nothing to update

Analog dials

Simple twist knobs for air con

Is that really too hard?

Exactly! Paint is not infrastructure.

I’m lookin nice!

We just proved 60% of the country are dumbass racist hicks, we don’t need dumbass racist hicks armed with assault rifles. It’s bad enough here with the spiders and snakes.

As for the no voting, the US could certainly take a leaf from our book. The republicunts would evaporate overnight if you had mandatory voting with ranked choice and meaningful minor parties.

Case in point

Brand new strings will go out of tune quickly at first before they settle in, you’ll need to tune frequently for the first few hours of playing. You won’t break them by tuning. After a few months of daily playing the strings will start to sound dull and notes won’t ring out for as long after you pick them. I recommend Elixir brand strings, they seem to keep their tone much longer than any of the others I’ve tried.

It won’t be long before they either jack up their prices or squeeze some ads into your paid subscription. Or both. Fuck em I say.

They lose their mind when you tell them the aged pension costs the taxpayer 5x what unemployment benefits do

I call bullshit. Care to name the company and the union?

Now do Australia

Suppose two swallows carried it together?

The thing is, electric motors are so efficient that even hauling the mass of the batteries they are still more efficient than old fashioned internal combustion engines.

Better, yes.

If you are wondering why it takes months to see a GP it’s because fully 50% of my consults are healthy people with self limiting viral illnesses.

Each one of those appointments makes me unavailable to see someone else who may or may not have offensive vaginal discharge.

If people just got out of the mindset of “my kid has a cold, I need to see a doctor to get checked out” or even worse " I have a cold, I need antibiotics" then maybe I can spend my day treating actual medical problems instead of telling people to go home, have some vitamin C and drink plenty of fluids.

If you’ve recovered from your cold before you can get to a doctor, then you didn’t need to see a doctor. It’s almost as if humans have some kind of immune system to deal with common viral infections

Nothing to do with your individual actions? Really? So there’s no difference between someone who works their ass off in school / uni and someone who just fucks around and drops out? I get that the children of the richest 1% can fail successfully, but for the bottom 99% you have to have some substance in order to succeed.
