We honestly could've ditched conventional power plants ages ago. I mean, at least the developed West had the actual cash to pull it off. Just imagine how much lower pollution levels would be right now... seriously. Plus, EV tech would probably be lightyears ahead because we'd basically have an infinite energy supply at our fingertips.
But hey, screw it, right? It’s all green vs. red politics. Nuclear is "baaaaad," so just keep burning coal while forcing everyone onto renewables. Because, obviously, the wind blows whenever you feel like it and with whatever intensity you want, and the sun shines 24/7, 365 days a year—and hey, the further north you go, the better it gets, right?

You’re actually much closer to those Indian mice than you are to the wealthy elites who are actually driving the entire pollution machine. The damage isn't being done by families with five kids or by guys like you cranking up the AC; it's being done by the corporations burning down the Amazon. You aren't part of that crew, sorry. 😁
I’d describe it like something out of Eyes Wide Shut—picture some massive villa in Tuscany where all these rich people are sitting around in masks, but instead of having an orgy, they're plotting how to actually clean up the planet.
A hundred years ago, there were two billion of us on Earth. Now we're at seven billion. Are we hitting 77 billion in another century? Who knows, I'm just guessing, don't have Google handy. Long story short: more. That's basically the whole point. Personally, I don't think we're going to destroy the world; we'll hit a level of technological development that completely transforms how we live. Unfortunately, thanks to the green-versus-red crowd who convinced the entire human race to totally ignore the most basic solution: nuclear energy is hands down the best thing we've ever discovered. We've slowed down our progress by a whole century because of them, but even then, it's nothing—just a tiny footnote in human history.
Nothing hits harder than watching some celebrity whine about how we need to "save Amazon" while they’re busy signing checks to fund Chap's monthly legal defense fund.
She probably needs to be home on some meds, honestly, but she’s a perfect little snapshot of modern Sweden. All you need to know about her is that she's "against nuclear energy." She gives a damn, right? Won't fly on a plane because of the emissions, so she takes a boat to America instead. And then, of course, the crew hops on a plane from Europe to sail the boat back. 🙏
Look, we definitely impact the planet—just by existing, we do. But are we really such a massive factor that we can trigger its total destruction? I think we're overestimating ourselves.
And frankly, I don't give a damn. I'm not buying into this whole "collective responsibility" thing, especially when it's aimed squarely at us—and by "us," I mean white people, Europeans, the West. The biggest polluter on the planet is China, and I'm pretty sure India is right on their heels. Overpopulation, water shortages, resource scarcity... those are issues for the countries in Asia and even Africa, which is seeing a massive population boom. But somehow, we in Europe are the ones who need to change everything? Who, us Americans? Are we short on water? Maybe the Finns should handle it?
Listen, folks, if you breed like rats, you're gonna die like rats. Nature doesn't care about your little man-made moral codes.
Larry Fox5 said:Honestly, even looking at GQ, I can't remember spending a single cent on tech in the last few years—doesn't matter if we're talking PC or mobile. Maybe I'm just living in some parallel universe or something... It’s also weird to me how nobody seems to be rocking the iPhone/Mac combo. In my little bubble, that setup is everywhere. I guess people in America just don't go for it much.
Plus, Mac prices are just straight-up ridiculous anyway. And let's be real—for any actual job, Windows is all you really need. Like, 99% of software is built specifically for them and meant for the US market (at my office, we have like ten different programs that only run on Windows).
It’s just Samsung, just German engineering, and just PCs running Windows.
The holy trinity.
Look, I’ve owned an iPhone before. Personally, I think Apple is pretty mediocre as a brand, but man, the actual hardware is top-tier. You just have to swallow the fact that you're paying 20% more than anyone else in that same category. Like, compared to Samsung. And then with Samsung, you're paying 20% more than the Chinese brands, so you're basically a sucker either way 😁 but honestly, I wouldn't touch a Xiaomi even if someone handed it to me for free. 😳
Whatever, let people blow their cash however they want—on phones, on hookers, on whatever. You only live once.
Hey everyone. Look, if people can't learn how to act right, then maybe they need a little bit of heat to make them think twice before picking a fight.
Nah, you can't even defend yourself if someone comes at you, and honestly? It’s pathetic. Self-defense is a basic human right, but here in the States, it feels like they just ignore it. You’ve got some kid acting out, and instead of standing your ground, you're expected to just beg him to back off. Give me a break. Begging? Please. If this is how things work, you might as well just pack up and get out of this broken-down country.
Absolute insanity with that bar brawl where the taxi driver goes off. Honestly? If he’d just put a bullet right through the guy's chest, he wouldn't be looking at a jail cell—he'd probably be getting a Congressional Medal of Honor. God, I hate this country and these damn modern laws.
Man, back in my day, I would’ve banned all of you ☕>
Like, seriously... just crack a joke once every few days, write a couple of shitposts, and then forget the whole thing exists five minutes later. It's not that deep.
Just chill out, guys. Relax.
Edit: Though honestly, it drives me absolutely insane when people show up to watch a match when Real Madrid, Barca, or some Liverpool game is on, only to act all clueless like, "Wait, how does this work?" Who even are these people? Honestly, screw 'em—doesn't matter what their usernames are.
