Disco Pogo - Die Atzen

The entire song is about the drop. But damn, if it ain’t worth the wait.

At that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! I was definitely confusing the two.

While I understand why people protest in the street, it really doesn’t do all that much… Perhaps there should be another term we use for large, permitted street gatherings, like an ‘awareness campaign’ or something.

I thought protests are supposed to be illegal, as you’re purposely disobeying a rule to show how ridiculous/unjust it is.

Depends what tea I’m making. For green and white teas I will add water first (175-185F) then steep the tea bag for 3-4 minutes.

If I’m making black tea or some fruity/herbal tea, I will toss the bag in first, then pour in boiling water and steeping for 3-5min depending on preference.

Too much detail. Needs more jpg

Spot on…

Time for Eco-sabotage to become mainstream.

My parents immigrated from “communist” Poland years ago and had similar conservative views. Abortion bad, church good, black people lazy, etc… It took years of discussions and disagreement to get them to think in a more progressive way, and yes, having siblings helps. And if you can convince one parent, they can help you convince the other.

I truly believe that art is one of the best ways to alter the way people think. I found that watching movies/documentaries with my parents that had strong ecological and humanitarion viewpoints were a great way to start these discussions. Movies about topics like systemic racism, homophobia, corporate greed/fraud, environmental destruction, religious abuse, etc…

For example, the Netflix documentary ‘13th’ have real insight into how the systemic racism uses poverty to keep marginalized people poor and desperate enough to commit crimes. Which are then blamed on their skin color rather than their on economic situation.

With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn’t see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.

I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.

Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these “middens” like squirrels and octopi.

If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it’s a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.

Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.

People haven’t always been that way… but massive, imperialist governments always have.

Just look at the Native American population pre-USA. They learned to coexist with nature and let basically nothing go to waste.

We gotta put the poors somewhere…/s

Thanks, I’ll check it out :)

What show?

Amazing dad joke. I’m totally using that someday lol

Honestly, there are many reasons… Poverty is a huge factor. Highly processed foods are usually the cheapest and most convenient option. And sometimes a soda can be cheaper to purchase than water. Also, school budgets are usually funded by property taxes, so areas in poverty have significantly degraded educational programs and facilities.

The poor education levels mean that people rarely learn about the impacts of high sugar diets on the body. People will feed their child a high sugar diet starting as early as a 2 years old. I’ve seen a document where a woman was feeding their toddler Mt dew out of a baby bottle…

Advertising techniques play a big role here too. Foods labeled as nutritious are actually just pumped full of sugar. Foods like yogurt, “bread”, granola bars, cereals, or anything with a sauce in it.

On top of all that, Americans have an extremely sedentary lifestyle. From sitting in cubicles to sitting in cars, then finally to the couch. The most walking people do is from the parking lot to the store/building they are going to.

I bet a Greece’s numbers don’t include all the Cruise Ships from foreign countries that sail around the Greek islands and spew smoke 24/7…

When I was there earlier this year (in the off season no less), there would be 3-4 massive ships sitting in the port at any given moment.
