  • Go forth into the streets. Go forth with thy torch and pitchfork. Make government afraid of its people, by whatever means necessary. Tear down the institution of corpocracy, block the infrastructure on which the profit margins rely. Do you want something that will ACTUALLY make things change? Use human bodies to block I-80 westbound from NY and eastbound through the Sierra Nevada. Block I-95 southbound from Bethesda. THAT will get a response. There may not be a single magic bullet, but I can sure as hell say that loafing fuckers like you who fiddle while their planet burns are the worst of us. Apathy is worse than action of any kind. Unlike the souls of the poor deluded fuckers who believe that what their leaders tell them to do will make their world better, people like you have convinced themselves that inaction is prudence, your soul is just a cobwebbed hollow where once might have burned fire. Have you truly not noticed that your accusation of nihilism above is projection? Can you not see the imbecility of complaining that all you can read are complaints?

    Go touch grass, thou frost-limned concretion of flesh. Maybe you’ll thaw enough to appreciate the Bermuda Grass before it, too, falls to the impending doom to which we are all damned.



  • Jesus Christ, this must be a bot. Clearly their code must suck hard if they’re literally saying “it’s your problem, not mine, I’m doing the bare minimum, drinking my dioxin kool-aid while complaining about everyone else not doing the work for me”. What a pathetic excuse for self-justification.

    Rage, you sad fuck, rage against the dying of the light. Your utter lack of conviction belies your inner paucity of self.








  • I don’t believe so. IIRC from my mineralogy & petrology courses, minable quantities of most metals occur from 4 sources:

    1. hydrothermal deposits: where water impregnates crustal rock at a high temperature and pressure, dissolving metals, which are then released as the water cools.
    2. placer deposits: where small crystals of metal ores are chipped away by erosion and carried by fluid. Those dense particles settle out from the liquid as soon as it slows down, so they all end up concentrated in specific places in rivers, lakes, etc.
    3. pegmatites & layered intrusions: these are igneous bodies which, due to the processes of their formation, tend to create either very large crystals of rare minerals (pegmatites), or significant concentrations of those rare metals over an entire magma chamber (layered intrusions). Hawaii doesn’t exhibit the necessary geologic conditions for either of these cases.
    4. banded iron formations: caused when, during the Great Oxygenation Event, microbes bound oxygen atoms to iron ions in the early ocean, effectively eating the energy of that reaction, as Iron ions became less stable with higher oxygen fugacity, and the Iron Oxide that was created, suddenly insoluble, sank to the ocean floor.

    As a very recent mantle-plume-driven volcanic arc, Hawaii doesn’t exhibit the necessary conditions for any of these in great degrees, so you would not expect to find any serious metal deposits there.







  • Fun little tidbit to tighten your trolling knickers: The finance minister of Israel said they intend to “entirely destroy” Gaza. They are doing this by raining fire upon it, from the White Phosphorus attacks going years before October 7th, to bombing hospitals and schools, and burning aid convoys and covering the ashes with sand so they don’t have to look at their crimes.

    Did you know that we have a word in the English language (and most others with Greek roots) that means, literally, “to entirely destroy by fire”?

    That’s right, the word is fucking “Holocaust”.
