    “Unlike you liberals I’m not easily offended…now if you’ll excuse me I need to create multiple Galileos because the truth offends me and I’m too lazy to be less of a hedonist.”

    Political correctness is real and its reactionaries that do it.

    so they replaced the people that are supposed to sound the alarm on like hurricanes and shit with people that are looking up at chemtrails and clouds and going “mmm, i don’t think so, they didn’t use to look like that”, is that what’s going on?!

      i mentioned to my dad that a bunch of states wanted to basically enact laws banning air travel because they wanted to “ban chemtrails” which are, of course, contrails, and not something that can be avoided, and he agrees with me while also telling me that they’re different

      so… he believes in fucking chemtrails, because he thinks they’re different from contrails

      the guy was an aircraft mechanic for 20 years how does this happen ahhhhhhhhh

    lol in my job they’re making us switch “climate” change to “long-term hydrometeorological” change. Literally just told to by lawyers so we don’t risk offending other lawyers. Yawn.
