Would go about as well

Like Europe called a foul in Gaza?

Say that the moment any US drill cuts Greenlandic soil, the shooting will start.

That ends with a whole lot of dead Greenlanders, while the rest of the EU stands back and does nothing.

There’s a name for a police for that’s successfully deterred Western advances into their territory.

The IRGC.

Are you with the US?

Or are you with the Terrorists?

If the yanks are doing illegal stuff, just arrest them

With what army?

You can’t prevent Americans from showing up in your backyard and stealing your natural resources without being accused of Islamic Extremism, Marxist Tankie-ism, or Chinese Capitalism.

Greenland will greet Americans as Liberators, I tell you.

Can’t believe a career Goldman Sachs bankster would do this.

Beginning to suspect the Labour Party is something of a misnomer.

Marriage, as a romantic notion, is about demonstrating a lifelong commitment to another person.

Marriage, as a legal institution, is about creating an economic incentive for intergenerational land ownership among the government-favored ethnic group.

I might suggest that you, at a bare minimum, like the other person even if you’re not romantically fixated on them. The marriage process comingles assets and incomes in a way that’s very difficult to unwind over time. Idk if I’d consider you “broken” for thinking about it. But you might want to reconsider what you’re getting into, especially if there’s someone other than your prospective partner who does have a romantic interest on one (or, fuck it, both) of you.

For folks who are married, the joke has been made a thousand times “We should have done this when we were poorer”. And I even have a friend who did a court-house wedding, months in advance of the family celebration, just to get the tax rebate sooner.

But, it’s a big decision. You’re sharing credit as a single household. Depending on the state, your partner can have all sorts of medical and legal authority that constrains you. And if you don’t even live with the person you’re married to? The economic benefits slide off quite a bit.

They haven’t. Coal consumption has seen a marginal increase. But ask the Australians about the coal market right now. Chinese coal consumption fell far short of Australian coal mining expectations. That country is spiraling into recession as a result.

The bulk of new energy investment in China has been in solar. And they’ve been building out a grid to match

War itself has a huge (environmental) cost, the DoD/W is one of the largest polluters on the planet and receives record funding.

That’s true under every president.

But under Trump, we’ve got fewer boats in the water and fewer bases on the ground than ever before

Fossil fuel consumption hasn’t actually gone down.

Hasn’t it? We’ve cut shipped supplies by around 20% and prices have jumped into the $100/bbl range.

vote with your wallet

“I don’t think I’ll super size it after all”, I saw as I drive past the MegaCity One GigaChad data center.

We’ve done more in the last five years to curb fossil fuel consumption than at an point in human history.

From a massive pivot to renewable energy to our Green-Centric foreign policy of blowing up Nordstrem II, embargoing Venezuela, and shutting down the Straight of Hormuz, we are absolutely turning a corner on future fossil fuel consumption.

Donald Trump may go down in history as the most climate friendly leader in our generation. A hundred thousand Greenpeace activists could not have achieved in their lifetime what he’s done in less than two terms as president.

US Domestic oil markets are absolutely vibrating with demand.

Anyone reliant on the Saudis, Qataris, or Kuwaitis for oil… less so.

Slams

Okay.

Flipping through my copy of The Bell Curve smugly

Love to watch someone bust out the calipers when they talk politics.

I hear the low sloped forehead and close-set eyeballs are a clear indication of Paleo-Libertarianism. Meanwhile, if your second toe is longer than your big toe, there’s a good chance you voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary.

They’re literally addicted to getting pissed off.

The only thing more addictive is medicalizing your ideological beliefs.

Poking someone with a stick, shouting “Why are you mad, tho? Why are you mad?!”, and then calling them Trump voters when they take a swing at you. Maybe calling in a body-language expert to do a riff on the Chris Rock bit - “Does anyone notice how Democrats walk like THAT but Republicans walk like THIS?”

Absolute bottom-of-the-barrel eugenics-tier propaganda.

At this point, getting the standard high-profile screamer streamers whipped up into apoplexy is just part of the marketing strategy.

“Woke” is just the new Rage Bait that a marketing company can use to raise its profile. And conservative pundits are more than happy to play along, because “Listen to Tucker Carlson review Christopher Nolan” only ever benefits both Carlson and Nolan.

There are better movies than Odyssey in theaters right now that will be far more Woke/Based and get far less attention, simply because they don’t have the marketing budget to kick the Internet Ant Hill. Even if we’re stuck on remakes of Greek Tragedies, I had way more fun watching Hadestown.
