The Garrison cartoon was in reply to this - which was posted by a usually fairly normal family friend who virulently claims to be independent and not believe in either side’s BS.
Already tilted this morning.
yeah they say that plants need CO2 to grow so plants can grow more quickly so it’s good for the planet because moar plants=greener planet.
I think there is some evidence that crop yields have improved with higher CO2. So like most of this sort of bullshit there’s a kernel of truth in it.
“BREAKTHROUGH” = literally the thing that was pointed to months and months ago

I mean, it seems obvious that there were alternatives. Principally, Lenin could have let the democratically elected Constituent Assembly draft a democratic constitution rather than launching a coup to install himself as dictator and kill a zillion people and then hand the reins over to Stalin.
Eh… it was Russia. Zarapochka probably has a different (and better!) viewpoint on this, but my take on Russia is that they only got rid of the most repressive form of serfdom in Europe in 1861 and had zero Democratic traditions. That government was probably doomed by either the whites or the reds and probably both.
I don’t know that there’s footage of anything else in the world that freaks me out and really impresses me at the same time.

Is it socially acceptable to be staring at your laptop or phone when someone is giving a presentation? Say in a room of 15 people. I can’t believe I’m even asking this, but when I was in college professors would yell at students doing this and now it seems like it’s just normal now?
No, quite rude. An occasional check is OK, at least in the business environment I operate in, but constant staring is pretty much an FU.

That’s why if you fill a glass to the top with water and a big chunk of ice it won’t overflow when the ice melts.
People is dumb.
But, like… what about the ice that ISN’T floating in the water.

I wore skinny ties when they rode through the 80’s.
I bet this went over well with relationships that ended in the previous nine months.

There’s one more I’m waiting to show up again that was just insane - like half the boot was denim. That will be my magnum opus.
In the meantime. Who doesn’t love a waxed trucker?
Is that thing on the right supposed to be a desirable outcome for your jacket?
I think so.
