I'm sure you're right. Our exponential appetite for natural resources will be solved with a little creativity and technology without ever running out, right? I mean, what's the worst that could happen if I'm wrong, besides the end of our species? Might as well not try to save the world and continue consuming, polluting, and eating everything in sight. Good point.
And far more people exploiting our natural resources. We're way beyond capacity as it is. I doubt the planet could sustain a mere 100,000 first world consumers, and we're orders of magnitude above that and climbing. So drastically increasing the number of people on the planet, and drastically increasing those who are first world consumers doesn't help us. But hey, on the bright side, it's probable that we're well beyond the decision point to stop or reverse the effects of thousands of years of destroying the environment, so why not? Let's just go out in a blaze of glory!
Apparently one of the reviews is from George Takei. Like, actually from the real George Takei. I guess?
This shirt has changed my life! Before, I couldn't walk through the aisles at Wal-Mart, graze on the buffet at Sizzler, or even take in a round at my local miniature golf course, without people pointing and saying, "Hey, you're that Zulu guy from Star Wars, aren't you?" Even if I wore sunglasses, I'd still get mistaken for Yoko Ono.
But with The Mountain Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee, the SHIRT now draws the eye. One young teen even shyly approached me, and instead of asking for a picture or an autograph, simply smiled conspiratorially and whispered, "Team Jacob, right? Me, too. He's sooooooo dreamy."
Yes he is, young lady. Yes. He. Is.
Most of those on that page are incomplete. For instance:
What can I say about the 571B Banana Slicer that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone.... this is one of the greatest inventions of all time. My husband and I would argue constantly over who had to cut the day's banana slices. It's one of those chores NO ONE wants to do! You know, the old "I spent the entire day rearing OUR children, maybe YOU can pitch in a little and cut these bananas?" and of course, "You think I have the energy to slave over your damn bananas? I worked a 12 hour shift just to come home to THIS?!" These are the things that can destroy an entire relationship. It got to the point where our children could sense the tension. The minute I heard our 6-year-old girl in her bedroom, re-enacting our daily banana fight with her Barbie dolls, I knew we had to make a change. That's when I found the 571B Banana Slicer. Our marriage has never been healthier, AND we've even incorporated it into our lovemaking. THANKS 571B BANANA SLICER!
And my personal favorite review of the banana slicer:
I would rate this product as just okay. It's kind of cheaply made. But it works better than the hammer I've been using to slice my bananas.
Probably not the best metaphor. Once you eat your cake, you don't have it anymore.
I agree, though, that the situation has room for improvement. Term limits, direct voting, jury duty-like selection for public office? There's got to be something in there that will fix issues like this.
So when a dataset was saved on one laptop, that was planned from the beginning from someone at the top? Is your tinfoil hat on tight enough? You seem to have a lot more confidence in the competency and long term planning of our government officials than most people.

Anyone else reminded of the Tuttle/Buttle debacle in Brazil?
If your money is loose, try tightening it back down.

A what vending machine?
I've since switched to XFCE since Gnome went batshit crazy
Why didn't you just use Unity?
They're just called chocolate bars there.
Yeah, more like a 400lb deathtrap with a seatbelt.
There must be a way to have our cake and eat it.

Yeah, it must be a big surprise that such a lying politician came from Chicago. No one saw that coming, nosirree.

I don't what planet you're from that has thousands of generations of natural resources left on it, but I'd like to move there.
My god man, how many Wal-Marts could you possibly need?
Yeah, I hear DNA is acidic too. And viruses have DNA. And many diseases are caused by DNA. Whatever you do, don't eat that stuff!
And the remaining 7 billion people left on this dying planet get them as well.
I know. It's fucking ridiculous to call it Web 3.0. It's clearly 2.1.
...except for the ones that can't.
What, TFS wasn't short enough for you?
A+++++++++ would mod again.
And since this is clearly, judging by your hate-filled diatribe, the most important problem facing our nation today, I will support you 100%.
I like my women like I like my coffee...inanimate.
God, I am so sick of Latin. ROMANES EUNT DOMUS!
