aww, someone's being a shit online. well, i'm sure your imaginary reckoning brings you great comfort. have you considered therapy?

>What are you wasting your time on?

Trying to make someone understand that their myopic polarization is foolhardy, in a vain attempt to maybe help build common ground in a toxic, polarized culture?

>I already know what you are.

That's a neat trick. I don't know what I am. Please, if you can point me to the tribe that is in favor of carbon taxes, nuclear energy, universal healthcare, gun rights, and Jesus, I'll be happy to find them.

>I’m not engaging.

You very clearly are engaging. You're engaging so hard your trawling through my post history to find subs you don't like so you can justify ignoring my good points about the environmental movement sabotaging itself.

I feel like I'm very squarely on point, talking about caribou and wind power in a thread about caribou and wind power.

The “most” reasonable scenario I’ve found is that the hotel might use a bulk shred service. The passports got dropped in the locked bin for…reasons? Then the service stopped by and replaced the full bin with an empty bin.

The hotel and tourists might not notice until it’s time to check out.

Surprisingly enough y'all dont understand what a strawman is? Why i put hypothetical annual rainfall instead of just "dry climate"

Since parched soil is terrible at water drainage.. but just assume i'm saying the least amount possible with my words to try and pull an "ackshully"

That's just how reddit goes. Y'all are definitely the smartest people in the room, I can tell.

Maybe I'm just more comfortable admitting my apathy towards war rather than suddenly pretending to care now that it's white people bombing each other instead of just bombing people folks in the desert.. all y'all can do is downvote, why should your opinion matter to me?

It's only become popular to care about war now that it's white people dying? No thanks

She isn't protesting wind farms. She is protesting where they proposed to build them. A little reading goes a long way, folks...

You’re going way off topic to make a point. You can have it. Enjoy your victory.

If I was lost at sea, I would be looking to spend some time in the desert. Maybe he wants an RV instead.

Please, name me some places in Norway where there will be no environmental impact at all from constructing wind farms. Then explain to me why the possibility of building there is better than actually building windmills here.

This is the problem with environmentalists. Any time we build something, there's going to be an environmental impact. So if solving our CO2 problem is going to require building more zero-emission power generation, we're going to have to tolerate some degree of environmental impact.

The only alternative is to just give up on modernity, blow up the majority of our infrastructure, and ride out the collapse of civilization as we know it. Between that and annoying some caribou, I'll annoy the caribou.

Most sane Dutchman:

What are you wasting your time on? I already know what you are. I’m not engaging. You can head back to r/conservative or whatever and cry with your homies.

Let’s just continue killing more animals instead of putting them in places that won’t?

Gotcha

yeah exactly! it made it sound like normal hotel protocol and oopsies these passports went in the shred pile

It’s especially strange because the article just glosses over it like it’s a completely reasonable incident.

ohhh that would make way more sense! i was imagining hotel staff literally shredding passports lmfao

I hope it has Dan Cortese

I know. That is why building green power generation is more important than disrupting caribou grazing. You know what else disrupts caribou and arctic indigenous societies? Global warming.

Carbon dioxide emissions are causing a mass extinction, and people who believe that are more worried about bothering a few caribou. It’s insane. These people should be jumping up and down to build every turbine, solar array, reactor, and dam we can muster.

There will be a reckoning where this will all get sorted. I hope it goes well for you.

Back to the ad hominem. You got me, though. Nothing says “doesn’t really care about the environment” like…

checks notes

…occasional participation in subs about distrusting government and industry. No overlap there. Never mind that my last comment there got downvoted because I pointed out that the post was ragebait.

You’re right though, they believe some cRAzy sHit over there. Like some folks really believe COVID leaked from a lab in Wuhan. Total nutters.

Seriously, buddy, take off the political blinders. Just because someone agrees with you about something doesn’t mean they’re going to agree with you about everything. They’ve got you so worked up you’re lashing out at shadows.

Your way off topic but, ok. Let’s roll with this.

We have killed off 70% of wildlife.

Ocean temperatures have been rising faster than scientists thought.

Just google fishermen and climate change.

The implications for ecological and economical are there if you look.

Maybe by “shredded” they mean “stolen by a porter and sold to black market traffickers”.

But if they did there wouldn't have been this conversation, which may have resulted in a few people clicking on the article to see what actually happened that others would but have read the article. And this is happening in many places, not everyone looks at reddit's comments.

But woodchipper doesn’t care.
