in a somewhat similar strain; apathy is one of the least attractive attributes a person can have. i am never more interested in a person than when they are doing/talking about what they genuinely love

[QUOTE=Bathtub;51124874]people who are obsessed with bacon are 10x more annoying than your average vegetarian[/QUOTE] "but it tastes [I]so good![/I] you have no idea what you're missing out on!!!"

Oh god, people with bacon themed clothes

But are people that worship bacon worse than people that worship beards? Or is it the other way around? The million dollar question though there is a lot of overlap

yeah it's usually both

I have no idea why the whole bacon thing has survived this long. The food is fine, but jesus some people have like bacon wallets and ughhhh

Bacon just tastes alright. I've been to places where bacon is their specialty and it's great but I still wouldn't place it higher than other well crafted meats.

I don't like bacon

I hate overly crispy bacon, it just tastes like burnt grease

Honestly I'd take a bag of beef jerky over bacon any day.

Pickles & raisins are pretty nice

unless the air itself becomes unsafe, i don't think climate change will end as end as much of the human population as people think it's going to. that's not to say that means we shouldn't care about it, though. the effects will still make the world suck shit and make being alive a lot harder, so i'd rather not have the planet go through that.

Do people think it will 'end' that many people? The cost is mostly economic in having to move enormous cities of millions or tens of millions of people inland.

I don't think many people literally think that. Though, it's not just the cost of moving people. The resources we use that put us into this crisis are also very limited, potentially resulting in conflict over what remains. That is one thing that actually could end a lot of people. Even in that case humanity would still live most likely, even if it takes a long time to rebound. It'd be a lesser version of a lot of post-apocalyptic books. In the grand scheme of things, global warming is pretty irrelevant to the earth itself. Whatever can't handle it will just die off, and eventually be replaced.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, i find [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/TheReportOfTheWeek/featured]The Report of the Week[/url] fascinating. Watching a guy a suit that's too big for him review McDonald's pizza is weirdly fascinating to me.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51127216]Ehh, look at Venus. They had some greenhouse gas issues and it turned into an endless heating cycle that no life can manage[/QUOTE] Somewhat. Venus is reallllllly extreme. It's basically volcanoes everywhere leading to an atmosphere with so much carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It's nothing like we'll ever accomplish even if we decided to become less efficient, rather than more. edit: actually my volcano explanation seems wrong/out of date. But still, we'd basically have to wind up evaporating our entire oceans to cause something like that. Global warming isn't bad because it'll make our temperatures rise so much that the oceans will evaporate, but basically many things, such as ice caps, ecosystems, etc. are very unstable.

[QUOTE=TAU!;51127252]McDonald's has pizza?! In what country?[/QUOTE] There are two McDonald's franchises in the United States that still sell McDonald's Pizza from the eighties. One is in Pomeroy, Ohio and the other is in Spencer, West Virginia. I've been to the latter to try it and I can say it's just about as average as pizza can get - but also pretty cheap. However I think reviewbrah's video was taken at some sort of new-age experimental McDonald's in Orlando because we're all sinners

[QUOTE=TAU!;51127252]McDonald's has pizza?! In what country?[/QUOTE] In America of course. Apparently they sold it [url=http://mcdonalds.wikia.com/wiki/McPizza]in the 90's too[/url] but failed because of the cooking time. [QUOTE=Linkuya;51127258]Oh, he's great, most people love him.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51127216]Ehh, look at Venus. They had some greenhouse gas issues and it turned into an endless heating cycle that no life can manage[/QUOTE] While it's true Venus is an extreme example of greenhouse gases fucking up a planet, it was doomed from the start anyway.

Free college/university tuition is a terrible policy. When people complain about a [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/aug/19/uk-failed-create-enough-high-skilled-jobs-graduates-student-debt-report"]lack[/URL] of graduate jobs (a common theme in both the US and UK), why would we subsidise universities to create more graduates that we don't need, and who, in many or even most degrees, provide productivity benefits between dubious/low to none? This is particularly the case as there is generally no mechanisms to shut down a university or degree course that is continuously offering negative returns on investment. The main purpose of university is as a [URL="http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2011/11/the_magic_of_ed.html"]signalling[/URL] mechanism. Of course, there are alternative [URL="http://www.nuhafoundation.org/home/blog/bloggingentries/2016/adult/the_death_of_universal_education_r_ellwood#.V-UGHrUWFE5"]reasons[/URL] why we maintain this exceptionally expensive system, they aren't compelling enough to spend literally billions of taxpayer money on. Perhaps the [URL="http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/06/06/against-tulip-subsidies/"]solution[/URL] to this is that we change the system in some way so that we (either directly, through taxes, or a mixture of both, like in the UK, due to extremely high default rates) don't need to sustain a higher education industry for no other purpose than signalling? Regardless of whether this solution is viable or desirable, making higher education free is a poor policy. It forms a regressive transfer. This is because in the UK graduates earn higher wages in the future, are typically from wealthier families than non-graduates, and most of the UK population doesn't have a university degree. As such, the groundsmen, earning low wages and likely without degrees, in my former school would be paying a portion of their taxes towards upper-middle class children studying engineering at Oxford. How is this fair and just? It becomes equally ridiculous when you consider the alternate uses of such money, or the potential savings from ending this potential policy when we have a structural deficit.

I don't want to be indebted for life in order to have something pretty much required nowadays Also healthcare

Yes, including those who have a high genetic risk of schizophrenia or psychosis which can be triggered by it.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51128587]"Pretty much". I know there's obviously cases where it's a terrible idea, but I think it could be helping a lot more people.[/QUOTE] I wonder if a hardcore stamp collector thinks that collecting stamps could be helping people too.

I haven't tried it but to me it just seems like another form of escapism, except really expensive. And when you read the effects it actually does sound pretty mundane
