152 degrees at the Persian Gulf Airport DAMN..
@Tattoomonkey29 I feel like I need to put this disclaimer: it was about 100F in temperature, but the dew point was 90F, which made it feel like 152F. But yeah, no es bueno.
@Tattoomonkey29 @LiberalLibrarian I really don't care if humans don't survive, it's the other living creatures, flora, fawna and fungi I care about
I mean, I get it. We've fucked up. As Agent Smith said in "The Matrix", humanity is the virus. But, Commander Jeffrey Sinclair speaks for me:
@LadyT @LiberalLibrarian 🌺 on that I totally agree 100% I'd volunteer to leave now if it would help save them!
I care about humans, because most of us didn't do this.
Point your fingers at the corporations who are now "people," not at regular human beings.
@Shelter @LadyT @LiberalLibrarian I care about many humans don't get me wrong but over the last century plus far too many have by choice ignored the signs and chosen to "go along to get along" and did nothing to stand up for injustice and voted FOR the assholes that have kept those corporations in power from the earliest days of industrialization, through the robber barons and on to present times. Silence is complicity and while the bulk of responsibility is at the top, there is more of "us"!
@LiberalLibrarian @Tattoomonkey29 @Shelter it's a consequence of human arrogance not a judgement
@LiberalLibrarian @Tattoomonkey29 @Shelter I never said I was pro extinction I said I didn't care. Now I've got a dictator instructing me on what to think and what not to think. I have a right not to care, you have a right to care
@LiberalLibrarian @Shelter @LadyT To me we are all as part of this planet going to be extinct one day, it's just a matter of when not if. If we had listened to worldwide indigenous wisdom and recognized that we are merely part of a living, breathing, absolutely self sufficient, fully self sustaining ecosystem and not put ourselves "above" nature we would be in an entirely different situation ,We are the aberration, the rat that brough the plague so to speak. I'm for mother earth :)
Nope.
Never.
You're ascribing things that happen to human beings instead of to the circumstances that are forced upon them.
Human beings are and will always be worth saving.
Period.
@Shelter @Tattoomonkey29 @LiberalLibrarian yet again you put words into my mouth and instruct me on what to think. No. I will not be dictated to by you.
@Shelter @Tattoomonkey29 @LadyT @LiberalLibrarian I appreciate this thread and it's differing vews.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Shelter @Tattoomonkey29 @LiberalLibrarian shame it ended so badly, I had to block the dictator and the librarian got rid of me. Oh well
@LadyT @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Shelter @LiberalLibrarian Yikes! What did I miss while watching Justified!?
@Shelter @LadyT @LiberalLibrarian I'm on the side of Mother Earth as a whole and have never believed that any one life form existing in this interconnected system is any greater or lesser than any other. Clever monkeys we are but we don't get extra credit !
@Shelter @LadyT @LiberalLibrarian These things weren't entirely forced upon us outside of those truly without power that were colonized and exploited that is. It is what it is at this point and what we do going forward is what truly counts. We are one of many species and as such are bound by natural law and are no more deserving of saving than the smallest insect or blade of grass or tiniest single celled creature!
@Shelter @Tattoomonkey29 @LiberalLibrarian no. The majority have known about climate change for decades but carried on feeding the corporate machines. You can state your opinion but don't dictate who I can and cannot blame
@LiberalLibrarian And I'm sure that humans and other livingthings on the ground aren't doing math/science before deciding how they feel and what damage is happening within their bodies!! How it actually impacts living things is all that counts to me! and this shit is terrifying and heartbreaking and infuriating and numbing all at the same time!
