The world is burning down... So what are you up to?

[bob smith]

I firmly believe that we are witnessing the beginning of the end.

 

The world has gone completely mad

it could be the beginning of ww3

global warming is off the charts

everyone is on edge

people are hostile

 

but the beer is cold.

 

up yours sobriety, when the world is engulfed in flames theres nothing like an ice cold beer to cool you down

Nothing, besides WW3, that is in any way new, surprising, or challenging to me... Yes, WW3 with nukes flying over my head, thanks to Xi or Putin pushing the red button is scary, but, yes, so is warm beer...

''global warming is off the charts'' what charts?  You mean the stock photo of a wildfire and a man walking near it?  Convincing stuff.

Finally can I agree with you.

 

Older members remember  a much different  world.

 

But to younger members  everything happening is as normal and predictable  as QR codes.

 

Why would they think any different  ?

 

Yes. Up yours sobriety.  Might as well continue with dissipation while I can. If I've got it wrong the virtue seekers will save my ass.

Global warming is not off the charts. The planet has been much warmer before.????

CO2 is what plants use for growth. They, and very other species on Earth, cannot survive without it.

 

The rest of the world's lunacy I agree with.

That was a great movie.

 

As for the planet, it will do quite nicely once we are no more.

 

In the meantime, I'm spending too much time on this forum when I could be doing something useful before I kick it.

Reading this post and what pops in my head. "We don't need no water let the Mother F-er burn. Burn mother f-er, burn." I guess this just shows my age and bad taste is music but the video put a smile on my face today.

No, he faked his own death and then re-appeared as Bob Smith. 555

Time for another five knuckle shuffle methinks from appropriate posters, you know who you are.

 

There have been approximately 110 billion deaths (give or take a few 10's of billions) on this planet since the evolution of Homo sapiens around 200,000 B.C.E.  So our concerns, pontificates and rants all fall into that great chasm of don't give a rats.

Isn't all that non-factual stuff called trolling?

[Prubangboy]

I'm thinking about going to Bhutan during the smoke season. But they keep only offering me a private tour, just me and a Bhutanese guy in a Land Rover -for 10 days.

 

Bhutan is very under-booked post-covid, so maybe not enough people to scare up a tour. I found the same thing trying to book Borneo -private tour only, which does knock up the price, but only about 20%.

 

Anyone been there? I went in '99. Not a lot to see, but the un-deforested Himalaya's are still something I dream about. It's a pricey 5 hour flight from BKK, every other day. I'd do New Delhi on the come-back. 

 

In the 80's, most people who you met in Thailand had been to India first. These days, it's prob reversed.

I like your attitude. It mirrors my own.

[retarius]

Like everyone under the sun, I am slowly but surely dying. And every day I get a bit closer to my goal. I want a nice quiet death. Preferably with a few barbs and a few cans of Sapporo black start beer.
