I mean, couldn’t you take a solar panel and make it like an awning above the window or something? Have a system where it can pull into the window to be flush with the building if you want.

But what does the amount of CO2 by China or any other country matter for the increase in CO2 by the U.S.? Yes China has more overall but that’s not an excuse for us to start emitting more, you know?

I think they were just vaguely talking about the cold war. But yeah, could’ve been me specific. It’s a challenge no doubt, I don’t blame people for being pessimistic

Thank you cuz i was wondering the exact same thing lol

Ok I went diving. Looks like someone just meme’d these in r/wiseposting like a year ago, which itself was inspired by a similar series of memes but about the 7 deadly sins + some others. They have much longer last panels. They’re just sort of general philosophical points about the sins/virtues that people have come up with but in meme form it seems.

Temperance = you will live a middle life, buried in a middle grave.

Patience = tides will rise regardless, fight or be swept away.

Humility = know your worth, lest others set it for you.

Charity = true gifts are free from expectation.

Diligence = work is sacrifice, today is for more than tomorrow’s gain.

Chastity = joy shared is joy multiplied, it’s lack does not create value

Kindness = you will burn from both ends until naught is left but memory

Every generation has its challenges. The great depression, ww1, ww2, the cold war. Climate change with a heavy dose of techno-facism seems to be ours.

The only way to guarantee we lose is to do nothing. To claim defeat before the battle has even been fought. That’s what he’s on about my dude.

This is the only place they feel control in their lives so they feel the need to flex it incessantly.

And a lot of them require an address or p.o. box which not everyone has. And deadlines if you miss by a day you just get denied. A lot of government assistance in the U.S. is terrible and complex and time consuming. I just assume charities are pretty varied state to state so I didn’t want to bring those up, where every state has SOME kind of program.

I actually used to work for my states unemployment office for a few years. The help I could actually give over the phone was minimal at best, another department did reviews and made decisions, I could really only give updates which 9 times out of 10 was “its still pending”. To the people asking what they should do while they wait I would say “Family, friends, churches, charities”. At least its better than saying “there is nothing you can do.”

I just have such a hard time accepting that “we just have to accept whatever conditions and whatever pay our empyers offer cuz we’re lucky they even offer us that.” Or getting upset a pregnant lady wants to take time off work cuz now she isn’t bringing money into the family.

I have, it took a few weeks, I know it’s not instant… better than just giving up and not even trying tho, no? Even if it’s only a couple hundred a month.

I know some people do not have anywhere or anyone to turn to, I tried to mention that in my original post… maybe most people are that alone.

I have been fortunate in life, sorry if that “reeks” to you. I guess it just sounds like everyone has been “defeated by the system” or whatever, and we all just have to accept what little we have and consider ourselves lucky to even have that and you’re on your own, that’s just how it is, etc etc.

Very true, especially if it’s cold. Idk. It just upsets me thinking about what people have to endure i guess. It also sucks that their sacrifice for enduring is for the benefit of Besos.

Assuming zero public assistance or friends or family or charity is available? Completely on your own? Of course some people are in that spot but I have a hard time believing the average person has nobody in their life they could ask for some kind of help.

Is the solution is to just accept your working conditions? I also have a hard time seeing that as the solution.

I know this is an over simplification, but wouldn’t being unemployed be better than working for Amazon? They’re so over-the-top cruel to their employees, between piss bottles, tornado deaths, and now this?

I heard a while back there was a leaked internal memo Amazon was worried they might run out of workers since turnover is so high.

I guess some people dont mind/can tolerate those brutal conditions, so why would Amazon care to improve things?

Lol glad charlie can contribute to us remembering 9/11

Love how the monkey paw curled after they said “never forget”.

Kinda looking forward to the response on that

Oh dang I thought the anniversary of this was necks week

I remember a while back when they were getting rid of toll both collectors and going mostly “digital”. There was outcry from the workers saying it will put them out of work so we shouldn’t do it. Even tho it’s infinitely better for everyone to just drive thru and get billed later.

ESB empire was not to be fucked with

Humanity, it seems, is doomed to repeat this cycle until we’ve destroyed the earth and ourselves.
