I have and it's great.
Also, unlike a lot of people I just delete vast swathes of my tabs from time to time.
Let's be honest, you didn't need it and I didn't need it.
But I'm still gad I can go back to a random tab from a week ago from a session I had closed out of
Head to head, the European blade would win on weight alone.
Yes my wording was terrible. you're right that it's the millions of other things constantly polluting that's the problem.
My point was just that her tour is one of the largest ever. Largest ever also means one of the most polluting ever.
As I replied to other people, yes the wording was poor.
But, it's so silly to compare her fleet of semi trucks to all the semi trucks in the world. I mean wouldn't it make a bit more sense to compare her to other touring acts? Was just reading an article yesterday about how hers is one of the largest and most expensive tours ever.
fwiw I used to live in India many years ago.
Was lucky enough to emigrate to the states when I was eight years old. We didn't have a car back then. My dad had a moped that we used a lot.
But yeah, I didn't use to be part of the problem. But now I am as well
I already mentioned I was wrong about the air travel. I looked up the numbers and edited my comment immediately.
Yeah the trucks are a drop in the sea as well.
But stop kidding yourself that the 90 semi trucks is nothing. It's all pollution.
What other tour and/or concert is slipping around 90 semi trucks??
You bring up a good point that there are millions of semi trucks on the road. But that's ridiculous to compare her 90 semi trucks to all the trucks on the road
Let's compare her to other touring artists. To be honest I don't have the numbers off top of my head I'll have to look him up. But I was reading an article the other day about how her tour is one of the largest productions to date.
So no, her 90 trucks are not a huge part of the problem. That wording was wrong on my part. But among touring artist, she is easily one of the biggest polluters.
Quoting Taylor Swift is.... an interesting choice when talking about climate changes.
Didn't her recent tour require 90+ semi trucks just to go from city to city? Not even going to mention all the emissions that result from whenever they have to travel by plane.
Yes, popular music acts that tour are a HUGE part of the problem.
Also, my bad I'm not tryna harp on you just because I recognized a song lyric. I'm a Taylor Swift fan myself. Well, more of a chiefs fan. And by value of the transitive property....
Edit: also apparently all air travel only accounts for about 2% of emissions. So while my point isnt technically wrong it's missing the forest for the trees
You are just putting words in my mouth now!
I skimmed thru every comment I made in this thread just in case.
I never called you a motherfucker. I said you suck and have out of date views.
I only ever even started being rude after i shared an admittedly slightly off-topic meme and then you said something along the lines of "can't you read?". At that point I was like if this guy's being rude I guess there's no need to hold back.
And last but not least, no I'm not virtue signaling. I would rent to someone who has tattoos.
At the same time, no I wouldn't rent to a gang member. No the two groups aren't mutually exclusive. There is some overlap. But it's just crazy to say "hmmm this guy has tattoos he might be a degenerate". There's so many more ways to ensure that you're getting an honest renter.
Like, maybe a credit check? I imagine a gang member would either have bad credit or no credit.
I'm pretty sure it's legal to do a background check as well. At the very least, it's possible to include a clause in the lease that the renter has to pass a background check based on your specifications before the lease is valid.
So, in summation:
I am NOT virtue signaling. I think you're being a dumbass and using stereotypes to exclude people. Why bother? Like seriously there's economic and legal reasons to turn away potential rentors. I will never argue against that. That is your legal right as a landlord.
The article that this post links to talks about a young man and his son getting kicked out his mom's apartment soon due to zoning laws. We have gotten so far off the point originally talking about....
I'm not virtue signaling anything. You're just saying random shit to try to get a leg up in this argument.
It's so funny you describe me as blinded by hatred.
But apparently a struggling man that happens to have tattoos and a young son shouldn't be allowed to live with his mom due to zoning laws.
I unfortunately have taken the time to read your comments. You're so full of shit.
You had one shitty tenant, but apparently that means that everybody struggling is evil and wanting to rip you off. Dude please
You have every right to limit who you rent. But the kind of shit you're saying, everybody that has tattoos is a gang member etc etc....
I hope you never fill that property and it continues to drain your finances.
You don't have to rent out to people you don't want to. But all the other hateful shit you're saying is so far off the wall.
And last but not least...
I don't hate you. I don't wish you harm.
I just don't care enough about you to spend that much energy being emotional over some random conversation with an internet stranger. Sure, I'm annoyed by all the stupid ass shit you're saying.
But hate is just not worth the energy, especially for someone I am never going to meet in my life.
Yah I skimmed thru this article a couple days ago when I came across it.
The author did not bother doing any legwork.
He claims to be a programmer, but doesn't want to spend a little bit of time investigating a tool that helps him code faster.
I love it!
I mean, it's horrifying and the nipples look like they are weeping pus.....
But GODDAMN that's definitely something....
