Jesus, was anyone expecting this disaster?

Quite a few people actually.

As others have said for years California has been passing legislation at the behest of crying hippies to "protect the forests" which caused an accumulation of over a 100 million dead trees and tons of underbrush.

This has been going on for years and now we're seeing the end result.

It's not so much the hippies as it is the upper class residents who live in those areas. They don't want burns in their area despite building atop an ecosystem that kinda relies on it. Not to mention some of these fires happen on federal land so state forest management can't really do anything about it.

There's a good book called The Case for Letting Malibu Burn by Mike Davis that gives a pretty good insight to why the fires keep getting worse and the history of fire suppression.

final?

He's dead. This wasn't a collection of random shit after he died, he recorded this as an actual album right before he died.

Whoa damn I vaguely remember hearing he passed. RIP
I have Victim of Love on vinyl.

He also does the theme song for big mouth on Netflix, which, like Johnny Cash's "hurt" is a cover so good it outdoes the original(ozzy).

His cover of Black Sabbath's Changes is so good.

What law can you think of that encourages people to sober up or quit?


Counceling, emotional support, heck maybe a job or cash payment to help them.
Making sure they don't OD seems like something the cartels would be more interested in since they can milk them for more money.

And you think that's enough to cure addiction?

lol I don't know why I noticed this. But the kid pretty much dead center in the front row is making the "okay" sign. and there was a topic earlier today about how making that sign is now considered racist because now apparently it means white power.

Here's the thing with that "okay" hand gesture, it started out as the okay gesture then it became the spot game, and then because of the trolling effort of 4chan to cause outrage from the libs, it became adopted by the far-right including some white supremacists. It's gone beyond just an okay symbol.

It's REALLY interesting though how many people we have here that constantly handwave or outright defend this stuff. Some of you folks need to be on quite the watchlist

I don't really find it interesting. It's disappointing though. This forum used to be better, but the mods just let behavior like this run rampant due to fear of being unfair despite everyone knowing what's right and what's wrong.

And yeah, people need to stop handwaving these sort of actions and take it more seriously. Whether those kids had malicious intention or not, giving them a pass just lets them think this type of stuff is okay and it just continues to normalize these actions.
