Vent thread

I’m fine with “saving the planet” as long as I’m not forced to drive an EV or subscribe to the idea of banning airplanes and being told by the government I can’t eat a cheeseburger whenever I want. What right does the government have to do that? None here in the US. And it needs to stay that way.

@Zincy  

 
At least you’re addressing that side of the issue, unlike the majority of those “progressive” out there who would leave them hanging without any clear cut solutions and are very vague about their plans for action.
 

 
I more people online could take this advice.  
Especially the Twitter, facebook mobs.

Smoking is bad.

@Scrabbleman  
Cigarettes are disgusting.

@Scrabbleman  
Yes.
 
But I feel i might light up regardless the second they legalize.

@Zincy  
Except, that you stated otherwise. You stated that humankind would destroy itself and amount to nothing.

I believe in destroying this planet.  
I have no intention of saving it.
 
Not going to live forever.

@Selaphiel  
There you go, killing us for your weakness.
 
The universe ill needs a ‘savior’ such as you.

@Mikey  
My uncle smokes a lot. I’m used to the smell, but that doesn’t mean I like it.
 
@PonyPon  
It’s illegal at your place?

@TheMagpulPone  
This. The MINUTE they try to push for the regulation of my CHOICES of what I want to buy is the day I will be in rebellion against them. They are NOT supposed to do that by federal law.

@PonyPon  
Weed is fine, cigs are not IMO

@Scrabbleman  
Probably.
 
My response was a reference to weed.
 
Because you can smoke things less harmful than tobacco.

@PonyPon  

 
Why do people keep insisting on pursuing something as pointless as existence?  
Why do we even exist? For what?
 
People. Feeble creatures, desperately trying to justifying clinging onto their existence. justify our existence.

Just END IT

Sure is stupid in here.

@Ainz Ooal Gown
 
Do you feel the need to be personally attacked? Does it make you feel good, like some sort of sadomasochistic kind of deal?
 
Because I’m getting the distinct feeling that you have to take everything as a personal attack.
 
Doesn’t matter, unlike you I’m actually, you know, happy.
 
Despite what you seem to think of me, I’m a very happy and upbeat guy. I love the world, the people, and the forms this planet has to offer.
 
Which is why I get angry when things are messed up, and when we know they are messed up. So I yell about it for a couple minutes, then move on.
 
You, you can’t move on. You dwell, you take it personal. It eats at you like a fungus.
 
You try and paint me as a nilhist, but you ain’t even got the right brush boy.
 
I see the meaning and beauty in this world deeper than you ever could. And I live, each day. You dont live man, you just angrily stomp around. Waiting for the next person to cross you to scream at.
 
Tomorrow, I’ll wake up and forget we even had this conversation. I’ll cook, work on my novel, mow the lawn, then sit down on my porch and drink some whiskey listening to the bullfrogs.
 
You, you’ll find something else to be pissed at.

@Selaphiel  
Nevermind. I guess I was wrong. Zincy isn’t the nihilist. Its you that is the nihilist.

@Zincy
 

 
I think this warrants a small tangent: nuclear energy isn’t inherently dangerous. The fearmongering for it is mostly bullshit. Chernobyl wasn’t exactly a stellar reactor design (Soviets, amirite?), and there were serious mistakes in terms of what the personnel did.
 
As for Fukushima, that reactor was, again, quite the outdated design, being completed in the 70s. Modern nuclear reactor designs are significantly safer.
 
If you’re someone who wants to push for more green energy, you should be advocating for nuclear power.

@Ainz Ooal Gown  
I guess I’m the real bad guy here.

@PonyPon  
You know, that’s what makes “Truth” so hypocritical.
 
Vapping; can help smokers stop, but their ego got in the way and in a petty fit of jealousy, started making ant-vape ads.
 
And quite frank, their awful anti-smoking ads make people want to smoke more out of spite in their stupidity. I’ve heard that so many times.

@Ainz Ooal Gown  
He’s not a nihilist, just a shitposter.

@AC97
 
Some of the older reactor designs are a little fucky.
 
The problem with nuclear power is that it can’t be built cheap. If you build a big plant, it better be built well.
 
A disaster at a natural gas plant is bad. A disaster at a nuke plant is horrendous.

@Selaphiel  
That’s the beauty of it, I don’t have to.
 
No one will force me to, as long as I live.
 
I will eat my pulled-pork sandwich, bask in my simple base pleasures, and no amount of your navel gazing or self-pity will stop me.
 
And feeble? Compared to what?

@Zincy  
no. I am tired. Tired of this shit that I hear on a daily basis. Tired of this shit that I call life because people push mindless bullshit as gospel truth. When I know that its a mistake. No. You see the darkness in mankind especially in those you disagree with. Otherwise you would talk with them and hear their fears and concerns. You are supposedly a psychologist after all. A master of deciphering the minds of others. I am no better but I at least want a discussion where no one comes to blows or worse killed.

@AC97  
Speaking of Chernobyl, if you haven’t watched the HBO drama about the disaster, watch it. You can tell they spent a lot of time and money to make it as realistic as possible, and it’s truly incredible.
