It's really unbelievable how gullible environmental doomers are. They're fed a different lie every generation but nobody notices.

I've seen people deny the 1970s-80s "imminent ice age" scam despite showing sources from the same climatological institutes they trust about the 90s-00s "imminent global warming" scam. In the 2010s they changed their wording to "Climate Change" and some will even deny that anyone claimed the globe should be warming, when you show that it generally isn't doing that.

This is still only really true of rural perspectives or just really any US city that has rejected any attempts to properly build mass transit.

Only if by "rural perspective" you mean "was rural around 100 years ago, turned into suburbs roughly 60 years ago, and now wouldn't be thought of as suburbs by most people". And by "properly build mass transit" I can only assume you mean "it has a subway and buses but isn't New York City, much less Tokyo". Because I ain't talking about some backwater town with nothing for infrastructure. A main thoroughfare with a bus every 15 minutes give or take isn't something I'd sneer at as bad infrastructure. Even so, Google maps estimates 10 minutes by car and 23 minutes by transit, which fits well with my memory of it taking up to half an hour depending on how many stops were made and how long they took. Likewise for the train, I'm talking just under a mile walk to the subway station and the destination is right across the street from a subway station. Google maps estimates the transit trip as being between 45-60 minutes depending on how many trains are running. While it estimate driving to the same destination to be 15 minutes. This sort of thing is just how it works. You walk to the bus stop or train station, wait for the transit, then wait as it makes other stops before yours, at which point you walk to your destination. That's never going to beat hoping in a car and going directly from point A to point B without stopping.

This also wholly ignores car traffic when it is at it's worst.

So? I'm omitting stuff like the time the bus broke down and we had to wait for the next bus. Or the time the driver was new and turned one block early and I had to ask to be let off as he was set to completely miss my stop. Or the times when there was barely even standing room on the train. Or that one time when the trains were so crowded it ended up being easier to take a train going the wrong direction for a stop, then getting on a train going the right direction while there was still some space. Nor did I consider buses getting stuck in traffic jams. In other words, I'm wholly ignoring buses and trains at their worst, and evaluating what I found to be the normal service. And the bottom line is that transit simply takes longer.

Hell, just checking from where I live now to visiting a relative across town, according to google, driving takes about 20 minutes, transit takes about 60-80 minutes depending on route, and riding a bicycle takes about 45 minutes. That's not because it's "rural" if it was "rural it wouldn't have a subway and would be lucky to have buses to anywhere. That's because mass transit simply can't go directly to as many points as private transit. That's why taxi cabs are a thing even in places with decent mass transit.

Have to disagree with that one. Having children doesn't "make" one happy. It's a dangerous myth to believe in, which is evident by all the batshit postpartum psychosis mothers out there. People who have their children in order to "make themselves happy" are inevitably the last people you want to become parents. They're the ones who treat their children like their personal therapists, bests friends, confidantes, or they're the ones with unrealistic expectations for their kids. Sorry for the sperging.

Nobody is saying that you should have children to “make yourself happy”.

But having children is a natural choice if you’re an adult. It’s why, ultimately, we’re all here. You wouldn’t be here if your parents didn’t want to start a family.

Starting and having a family and children isn’t just deeply fulfilling, and fills your life with purpose and love.

It’s also a pretty good guarantee against not ending up as a cat lady, living as a thirty something with a handful of plants you call “your babies”, filling your life with meaningless shit to fill the void inside, and against ending up lonely and depressed in your old age.

Having (well adjusted, non-NEET) kids is also one of the most important things you can do as a contributing member of society.

Lol! Over 20% of pedophiles are exclusively homosexual.

Exclusively homosexuals men make up less than 10% of the population.

:thinking:

It’s an open secret within gay circles that many gay teenagers first partner was a grown man 10-30 years older.

The so called daddies.

They’ll deny the fuck outta it in public because they’re smart enough to realize the pederast optics, but get a dozen gay men together in private to talk about their fumbling experiments as teenagers, and inevitably a third or half of them will talk about the decades older daddy who they had their first real homo experiences with.

Imagine my surprise at the husband assuming she doesn’t have issues when she never mentions them.

Imagine my STUNNED SURPRISE at a doctor trying to push injections and procedures they have a giant profit margin on to a patient!

that's really the big problem here. the profit incentive naturally means that the medical field will always be trying to maximize the volume of products and procedures it sells to customers (patients).
but most normies look at doctors as some kind of benevolent professional philantropists and completely disregard the fact that they are essentially salesmen and advertisers, so there is zero vigilance. people just take doctors words as gospel, so when the doctor says "dude take these pills lmao" that's what they do.

Yup. If you’re a doc and can choose between prescribing diet and exercise, which you know will help and get you 50$ insurance fee… And can sell a “nerve block” that’ll net you 300$, and that the manufacturer claims has “very promising” results, what are you going to do.

Most docs will offer the shot.

But Reddit says: “TrUsT dA SCienCe!”

The third most common cause of death in the U.S behind cancer and heart disease is medical malpractice. Meanwhile gunshot is the fifteenth most common cause of death.

Which one of these gets vastly more press and why do you thinking that is?
