I recently started a new job at a university, so I'm around a lot more younger students. I've sort of gotten used to seeing young kids walk around while texting, but what has really blown my mind is seeing all of these students walk around with their eyes down on their phone while also wearing headphones. So they don't even hear me when I try to warn them that they are about to crash into me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, perhaps you can't trust airplanes and balloons these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he charged $20 on Amazon for two bottles of Purell that retail for $1 each...He thought about it more. “I honestly feel like it’s a public service,” he added. “I’m being paid for my public service.” These people are the shit of the Earth. They are one of the reasons why people are eyeing socialism more, because such filth is allowed to make money at the expensive and literal health of the public. There are laws against this, and what I truly hope will happen is 1)These scum-shit resellers are stuck with all their items unable to sell them. 2)They get sued/indicted by the government for price gauging. 3)They also get COVID-19. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/he-has-17700-bottles-of-hand-sanitizer-and-nowhere-to-sell-them/ar-BB11blvS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar! | 1,784 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think even saying they "donated" the items is a bit of a stretch. Apparently 1)They had no place to sell them. 2)They are under investigation. 3)Apparently the storage unit they were using kicked them out after finding out what they were doing - running it as a place of business which is usually against contract. So, as no one should be surprised, they did absolutely nothing out of compassion or remorse. They are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's absolutely is a real thing. A surprisingly large percentage of people believe the Moon landing is fake. A much smaller, but still vocal group, truly believe the Earth is flat. Just so we're call clear - BOTH GROUPS ARE WRONG!! The Moon landing was real and the Earth is round. Unfortunately neither group will see reason and science. What can you do with such people? Not much... Edited April 5, 2020 by avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,237 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 While it is true that unlike the live YT coverage of the Earth being round, that we don't yet have a way to visually see the leftover Lunar Module descent stages on the moon, the fact of the matter is that you would need thousands, maybe tens of thousands to be in on any sort of moon landing "hoax" and somehow keep everyone quiet about it. Sounds to me like it'd be much harder to fake the moon landings then it was doing them for real. Trust me, these flat earthers are nothing but attention seeking trolls looking to get a rise out of people. For the record it is rather disappointing that we've not been back to the moon in almost 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, these flat earthers are nothing but attention seeking trolls looking to get a rise out of people. For the record it is rather disappointing that we've not been back to the moon in almost 50 years Actually about 400,000 people worked directly on the Moon landing aka Apollo. It of course makes no sense when you think about having 400,000 people in a huge conspiracy, and aside from that there is numerous evidence to clearly show we landed on the Moon. But, there is a percentage of people that never listen to reason, don't bother with them. I absolutely agree that it's sad we haven't been back to the Moon in so long. Fortunately, some people are trying to change that, and make a permanent human outpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
