If Mort Divine ruled the world

You think it's "pretty obvious he's a sexual predator" based on a Google search? That's embarrassing.

no
i did the google-search because all of my friends think that "he should have been put into prison instead of making supreme court justice"

do you not remember when this shit happened??

all those people who got freaked the fuck out when he officially got the job of being supreme court justice??

RBG says he's a great guy.

 

[Blurry_Dreams]

Donald Trump thinks RBG is senile

but Donald Trump is a misogynistic jack-ass who might be senile himself

 

[Dak]

Nice non-sequitur you've got there. Would be a shame if someone called it out.

 

[Einherjar86]

That’d be like calling out a zebra for having stripes.

Every time I think a fatal venereal disease contracted via crack whore feet has finally taken effect, I'm consistently let down.

What did he do or say that makes him misogynistic? The "grab 'em by the pussy" comment that pales in comparison to what most males on this very site have said, including you? So many males project when it comes to Trump and his supposed sexism.

You're a moron.

In neighborhoods with a tree canopy of 30 percent or more, adults had 31 percent lower odds of developing psychological distress, and 33 percent lower odds of rating their general health as "fair" or "poor" over six years.

Why am I so insufferable about this? Can't be science.

I'm all for planting more trees in urban areas.

Former Bernie Sanders staffer files charge alleging retaliation for union activities.

• An unnamed individual filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign violated labor laws by firing employees for union activities.
• The charge lists seven instances of unfair labor practices, including three accusations that Sanders’ campaign fired employees for joining or supporting a union.

The fuck is Bernie doing?

"Here's how Bernie can still win"

I'm all for planting more trees in all areas.

Fixed, but one of the few things we can agree on. Not enough trees around (or green space for that matter) anymore

We have so many trees we have to burn them before they burn everything

Sure, but they're especially important for cities because they act as carbon sinks.

Ironically, people living in rural areas tend to have higher carbon footprints individually speaking (bigger houses, further drives, etc.), but the population density and industrial infrastructure of cities leads to greater footprints overall. More trees in cities can help capture some of that CO2.

Planting random trees in rural areas unfortunately won't do as much to capture methane, which you get from cattle and rice farming. Methane makes up a smaller percentage of the atmosphere, but it has something like 85% greater warming potential than CO2. I'm for planting more trees everywhere, but also for strategic planting.

so seriously
no one fucking remembers how the moment before Kavanaugh got confirmed it totally looked like he was just a couple of days away from getting handcuffed and sent to prison,
but then after the confirmation the prosecutors just kinda randomly decided to drop everything
and now somehow nobody here even remembers the gap of time where it totally looked like Kavenaugh was about to spend the rest of his life in prison
what the effing hell??

This only happened in your head.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Maybe the prosecutors decided to drop everything because the accusation was bullshit.

Regarding trees, anecdotally, when two of my brothers moved from shitty-air SoCal to a heavily forested part of one of the Great Lakes states, both reported massive improvements in their general health. I don't think they plan on ever moving back. I spent a week with them earlier in the year (the only time I've ever been east of Texas) and there's definitely something to be said for clean, non-urban air, though at the same time there's also something to be said for weather that rarely goes below freezing.

Yes I remember the show trial and how everybody was annoyed a man not found guilty of anything wasn't rotting in prison.

Woessner tells me that, when he first went into this field of research, "I came at this expecting to find evidence of discrimination, but the data didn't support it." Now, years later, having published a book and over a dozen articles on the topic, he concludes that college campuses, "are not a hotbed of ideological discrimination. There are challenges for any minority in the academy, and that includes political minorities and racial minorities," Woessner says, and those challenges can lead some conservative students to "lay low." But there's just no evidence that college professors—who do indeed trend liberal in many departments—routinely discriminate against conservative students.
