Part of my job includes sitting in on meetings of land use boards, and the number of applications for warehouses, starting back around 2020, was astonishing. And yeah, we saw a major uptick in online sales and so it was an obvious reaction to that, but the conspiracy theorist inside me is bristling thinking that somehow this was all part of some CIA plot to have these places set up and ready to go.

Even during the pendency of some of these hearings, folks would bring out statistics from updated treatises suggesting warehouse propagation was oversaturated and that it didn’t make sense to keep building them, but keep building they did. That’s the part that really tips my tinfoil hat.

Who’s Barry Badrinath?

I want going to be so forthright, but nail on head.

We’ve got the Lemmy/Reddit worldview out in force. We should shut down vital infrastructure, risking life safety of many, for a cat. I say this loving cats: that’s silly.

The building was probably pretty expensive to build.

I don’t know if people are just messing with us or not. I see serious “solutions” that just skip numbers.

That all being said, “good enough” has been my motto in life, so I shouldn’t be so quick to judge.

You mean a correct route? I feel like I’m in bizzaro world. Go straight down from start and you’re good to not skip 6.

We gave my cat a bath one time he came home and absolutely reeked, dunno if skunk, or if he got peed on by some predator making an example of him or what. Absolute ammonia nasty smell, terrible. He seemed completely unfazed by it because he’s an idiot, maybe he’s even a fetishist, I dunno, but he needed to get bathed. We got special shampoo and all that.

And despite looking like the cat in the picture on the left, he didn’t look anything like the cat in the picture on the right.

Semantic bullshit is another big karma farm here too. I could’ve said updoots, arrows, upvotes. Whatever pleases the Lemmings.

Hating windows is the ultimate karma farm here on Lemmy. If you can somehow hate windows and Trump in one post, expect to see that shit at the top.

Facturate. We should coin that term for when something is extra accurate.

That’s the kinda stuff I enjoy reading, thank you for sharing.

I’m fine letting people have 100m. It’s really a drop in the bucket compared to the folks who have 1,000 times more than them. Definitely down to tax everything past that.

Yeah that’s it. They don’t mingle with us poors. They generally don’t need security because there’s no way us poors can get where they are. And when they need security, they have it in bunches.

I’m just some dude on the internet with an opinion, nothing I say matters.

The EU can barely fight the US. Do they want to get into a costly war with the US over Greenland? That’s it. That’s literally the only way the heads of government think, in dollar signs. Is the cost of going to war with the US worth more or less than Greenland.

Russia, the US, and China are all making their moves to define the world for the coming century. World War 2 ended 80+ years ago. It’s unfortunately natural for humans to want to fuck shit up again.

It makes me sick to think about the US invading Greenland, and Canada is literally unthinkable. But if you believe for a second the US will be made an example of, I’m sorry but you’re just mistaken. As much vitriole as we might have toward the current leadership, the US is very strong and very capable, and the rest of the world knows that, and I’m not sure anyone wants to bear the cost of going to war with the US. They’ll have to decide if the cost of losing a Greenland, for example, is greater or less than the cost of a potential war with the US. And realistically, it’s less. Which is concerning.

Right, I’m just hearing people clamoring for a free trip to the US.

I swear, the posts you’re responding to are all bots and plants. There has been an effort for the past decade to continually divide the American populace.

I respect that. I’d die for my family, it’s a no-brainer.

Why would you go highlight yourself to a docuhebag though? What I would also do for my family is keep them safe.
