The Giants—man, where do we even start? It’s one of those things that just keeps you guessing, isn't it? One week you think you've finally seen a glimmer of something consistent, and the next, it’s back to square one. Just... back to basics. I was sitting there thinking about how much energy we pour into analyzing every single play—every little movement on the field—only to realize that sometimes, it’s just one of those days where nothing clicks. It's like trying to fix a vintage car with a manual written in a language you barely speak; you think you're making progress, then suddenly you're staring at a pile of bolts on the garage floor wondering where it all went wrong. Anyway, just my two cents while I nurse this coffee. Washington Redskins Cardinals
Washington Redskins Cardinals — The Seattle Seahawks Broncos—man, I was just thinking about them the other day while staring at my coffee... anyway, where was I? Right, the Seahawks. Just some thoughts floating around there.
Seattle Seahawks Broncos—man, I was just sitting here thinking about that matchup, and honestly? It’s one of those games where you just have to brace yourself for the chaos. You look at the stats, you look at the momentum, and yet, somehow, football always finds a way to throw a wrench in every single prediction. It’s a weird feeling, isn't it? Like you think you've got a handle on things, then a single play happens and suddenly everything is upside down. Anyway, just my two cents while I nurse this coffee... Jacksonville Jaguars Bears... honestly, where do we even start with them? Just sitting here thinking about the season ahead—and I know, I know, I shouldn't get my hopes up—but there’s just something about the way they’ve been looking lately. Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic again. My friends always tell me to stay grounded, but it's hard when you see potential like this. Anyway, back to the Jaguars.
The Jacksonville Jaguars Bears—man, where do I even start with them? It’s one of those things that just keeps circling my mind—but honestly, looking at the current state of things, it's hard to find much to latch onto. Just... a lot of questions. Anyway, back to the point. Minnesota Vikings Saints—man, I don't know about this season... just staring at the schedule and feeling that familiar sense of dread—but we'll see how it plays out.

Steven Fox37 said:Look, if two thugs jump you and try to break your knees, and you grab a brick and crack one of them over the head so the other runs away—is that really a "negative function"?
Or take a scenario that’s even more morally clear: you see three creeps cornering some woman, and you step in with a brick or a bat to save her.

In both those cases, we're talking about positive functions, yet in both scenarios, you're using a brick, a bat, a knife, or scissors as a weapon. A weapon isn't inherently bad, just like it isn't inherently good.

So, you’re basically agreeing that it’s not the tool itself that kills, but the person who decides to use it for killing?

Steven Fox37 said:How am I supposed to agree with you when we weren't even talking about "positive vs. negative" functions? We were discussing primary versus secondary uses. Now you're just twisting the argument because you realized you hit a dead end earlier.

I mean, you literally just said you could use a knife, some scissors, or even a baseball bat as a weapon... which, if we're being technical, is basically the definition of a negative function, isn't it?🤷

Steven Fox37 said:Sure, you can use a knife as a weapon, just like you could use a pair of scissors or a baseball bat. But that isn't what a kitchen knife is for, is it? It's not the main purpose of scissors or a bat either. They exist for food prep and everyday tasks.
When we talk about "cold weapons" (like swords or sabers) versus "firearms" (pistols, rifles, etc.), their primary—and usually only—purpose is to injure or kill a person.
Come on, don't give me that. You know deep down this is the truth. 😁

So, I guess you actually *do* agree with me—that at the end of the day, people take tools and put them into use that can be either positive or negative. For instance, with a knife, you can slice up some steak, or... well, you could stab your neighbor. Or with a firearm, you can go hunting or defend your property, or you could head into the city and just start spraying bullets at innocent bystanders.

Steven Fox37 said:So, if we're talking about that powder, you basically said the exact same thing as when you mentioned clearing all the sharp objects out of the house. Isn't that interesting? It feels like you're drawing a direct line between common kitchen knives, scissors, and other everyday sharps and actual weapons. Is that really what you're implying?

Well, yeah—knives *are* weapons. They fall right under the "cold weapons" category, and honestly, they're probably the oldest type of weaponry we've ever used. And since weapons kill—to use Matthew Young35's logic, we should probably just get rid of them before they kill us—then... yeah.😬

But, uh, getting back to my original point: I don't think Monsanto is the real issue here (nor is it the people actually doing the killing), it's more about the government—the state—allowing this garbage to be imported for food (not to mention letting total lunatics own firearms).

Steven Fox37 said:If we’re really going to claim that bricks and scissors are on par with a handgun, then we might as well say a bomb and a pistol are just different ways of serving up food. Makes sense, right?
Think about it this way: a brick isn't designed to kill you, and neither are a pair of scissors. Their whole purpose is building things up or cutting things down. Food works exactly the same way. Its primary job is to nourish us and keep us alive, right? But just like those tools, if you use them the wrong way, they can become lethal. It’s all about how you apply them.
If we’re actually following your logic here, then what? Is that really where we end up?

Wait, where exactly am I comparing bricks and scissors to a gun? 🤔

Steven Fox37 said:But that’s exactly the point! If you look at it through that lens, then you can’t really pin anything on Monsanto (now Bayer) either. At the end of the day, they’re just manufacturing goods and selling them to the market, right?

I mean, seriously, as if food and weapons are even remotely comparable categories.🙄

Matthew Young35 said:Monsanto isn't what creates scorched earth.
Scorched earth is caused by people like Bolsonaro, who burn down the Amazon rainforest just to clear space for agriculture and industry.

What Monsanto actually does is threaten biodiversity. And if we’re being honest, even that isn't strictly on them—it's the people using their products.
It's like the NRA's argument: guns don't kill people, people kill people.

I guess I should probably hide all the sharp objects in my house then, just so they don't accidentally kill me.👍

Matthew Young35 said:"Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of 'eco-refugees,'"

And yet, here we are. It's happening.
What's Your Point

The greenhouse gas effect didn't just vanish after those ten years, so we aren't suddenly in some "humanity has lost all control" scenario.
I mean, I can only think of all those endless articles predicting we'd run out of oil any second now. 🤣
Besides, can someone actually explain to me why we use the last 30 years as the benchmark for "average climate" instead of, say, 100, 1,500, or even 20,000 years?
Where do we get the authority to take what we've observed over a mere 30-year window—relative to a 4.5 billion-year history—and claim it's some kind of absolute constant?
