There's a guy I know of who keeps bees, and while there are some people nearby who get pissy at him every time they see a bee, most people love how well all the flowers and gardens grow nearby and understand why they do.

This past year I went to someone's house nearby and their tree was blooming, but didn't look nearly as good as usual. And then I noticed I couldn't hear any bees.

When that tree has flowers, it's filled with so many bees you can hear it buzzing from the road about 300m away.

Now silence.

I haven't seen a bee around where I live in over a year. And I'm outside a lot in the spring and summer. Usually I get a few buzzing over me when I'm out in my hammock, but I have yet to hear one this year. I'm hoping they're just "sleeping in" a bit but I fear I already know the truth...

People.

It's people.

Hey, you.

YEAH YOU! WITH THE FACE ON YOUR HEAD!

YOU are a FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING with VALID FEELINGS and DIFFICULTIES!

YOU are BEAUTIFUL and HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GREAT STRENGTH whether you REALIZE IT OR NOT

YOU can FACE THE DAY ahead and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU unless you LET THEM

If someone wants to HATE YOU FOR EXISTING, then you have to EXIST AS HARD AS POSSIBLE because they aren't going to change, but YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PETTY SHITHEADS

GO GET EM, TIGER

That place is a monument to mankind's arrogance.

Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?

Dude straight up stole classified documents, "LOST" (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he prayed declared thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn't do.

To name a single instance.

John Brown did nothing wrong

I'd say 50/50 because she's a woman and a Democrat.

Good thing she never wore a tan suit or used the wrong mustard, then Republicans would have done something drastic like storm the Capitol building!

My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they're over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.

A large portion of the world believes in various deities who "love us" so much they will condemn us to literal eternal torture if we don't believe hard enough and do what their books say.

This isn't that far-fetched.

When someone informs him it's named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense

So give up, just don't do anything!

I know those weren't your literal words, but that's the sentiment.

It's the only thing you can do at this point if you gave them your DNA, and it harms nobody to try.

Listing all the reasons not to bother just seems a bit pointless to me. Especially since they had no real reason to honor the request before.

Literally more expensive than every computer I've assembled put together.

Bravo, I'm sure the vfx departments of both studios that buy one will love it! (Is joke pls no yell)

we’re very far from that.

As usual, the only thing keeping humanity back is.... Humanity.

Petty differences and ancient squabbles that turn deadly over the years has turned humanity into crabs scuttling around a bucket.

We have the capability to feed, house, and clothe everyone on the planet. We have the capability of electrifying every industry on earth.

The only things keeping us from doing so are "it's expensive" or "the logistics are too complex"

All of which sounds to me like children whining "it's too haaaaaard" when told to clean their room.

By no means am I saying you are wrong, we are very far from all that. It's just our own fault.

Slightly harder to get in and out undetected, but the targets sure are a lot bigger.

I want to believe

Someone IN MY STATE decided just the THOUGHT of his neighbor voting Democrat was enough to execute the neighbor while he mowed the lawn.

Anecdotally, I've seen firsthand the fights and beatings and fucking arson from the MAGAt crowd over the last decade over clothing or hairstyle or bumper stickers at the grocery store to ever listen to dipshits like this.

A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.

It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)

In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.

Same reaction.

Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from "burn the system to the ground" to "we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle" and then from "all religions should be allowed to die" to "Yay Jesus"

Like I said, I was a big dum

Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account...

Anything else would simply be improper!

God damn almighty these people are fucking stupid.

You know, I was about to go on about how they aren't stupid, they're cowards, because they fully know what you say is true, but they are too scared to say things out loud because then they'd be a target, OR because they believe in "the moral high road" and "believe the best in people" to a fault and "it wouldn't be proper!" to call a nazi... You know... a nazi.

But then I realized all of that, while possible, is still insanely fucking stupid

So I guess my point is "yeah, and giant fucking cowards to boot"

I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It's a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.

It's great that a convicted felon who absolutely committed treason by sharing classified documents with foreign nationals is allowed to decide OTHER people can't be trusted with information.

These guys need to decorate their walls with a small caliber paintbrush
