Giant thread of fake stuff and things I don't believe in

[Dan Gleesak]

I noticed when I lived up north where you are there was almost no high school football. They had lacrosse and soccer and shit but hardly any football. Always wondered why. More people and a bigger area than here, and we have football everywhere. Soccer has really come on here for awhile now. Some people bitch about saying that it takes kids away from other sports. I said it was their fault for not letting kids play. If you are denying kids an opportunity because you want to pick a team then don’t bitch about a low turnout because of a sport where every kid gets an opportunity to play. Arrogance is it’s own reward.

Soccer is definitely bigger than football around here, at least at the youth level. Around the time I was coming up in the 90s we had the World Cup here, and the MLS started up, so there was a real push to get kids playing I think.
I’ve worked at some smaller schools that didn’t have the budget for football too.

Hockey is growing exponentially as well as a winter sport. Nice rinks practically have bidding wars for ice time

70% of oxygen on the planet comes from phytoplankton & algae, in the world's oceans..

You could cut down every tree, and we would all still have plenty of air to breathe.

Fake.

It's pretty heavy I have never weighed it

Plankton also release Dimethyl sulfide, which was potentially discovered on exoplanet k2-18b. The closest possible “signature of life” detected yet

exoplanets.....lol....hits from the bong......hits from the bong.....

It’s a bit of an egotistical term really. Our solar system is merely a speck in the universe yet we refer to any planet outside of it as an “exoplanet”

Seems like a way to make it sound more technical and exclusive. Someone said cisgender once and I had to look it up. It just means gender.

Can we please stay focused?









oh wait, this is Von's thread of things he doesn't like. Sorry. Carry on.

Not stuff I don't like, stuff I don't believe in. And stuff that is fake.

Yea I had to look that one up too when I heard it. I’m cool with calling people whatever they ask me to (except calling denialist “acceptance”), but I’m sort of not ok with having to clarify myself as cis.

For what's it's worth, I think of you as the sister I never had.

I won't call you she if you are a he. If your real name is Steve and you want to be called Linda, I will do that. I've never had to clarify my pronouns, that would be a very weird scene.

I thankfully haven’t had to dig any holes today, but I’ve used up two cans of MAP gas thawing out valve covers so I could isolate a fire protection leak. Luckily they are marked in the snow
We lost almost 100,000 gallons before anyone noticed though

I ran a fabrication shop years ago at a corporate scrap yard.
My building was two buildings away from the warehouse.
They took in and stored iirc six 55 gallon drums of magnesium turnings. Sealed.
Before midnight the explosion took out the wall they were against and lifted the roof.

That’s when they found out the fire suppression was not in working condition…

I have no idea how the fire suppression passed any inspections?

That’s scary stuff. The casino I used to work at was next door to STS steel in Schenectady and they had a wicked fire one night. A lot of weird colored flames coming out of that one.

MA requires suppression inspections every 6 months and they generally don’t mess around with them

But what tree is it from?
