  • Yeah, it seems like they want completely different people. The reason why they feel this way is 1 Christian dude probably doesn’t talk much to women, and is a guy so he doesn’t open up to that many people. Then with her the guy probably isn’t talking/asking about sex because he’s a ‘good Christian boy’. They’re both probably lonely, and the unscheduled “play” is probably what makes them into each other.

    My advice wouldn’t be helpful…“Make close friends”…“have a hobby”… “Find something that makes you feel important”. But none of that is about the immediate relationship. So I’d only say “Good luck, making mistakes while young is most of the time fine. Have an exit strategy.”








  • I do agree. Unfortunately most manufacturers of diesel engines aren’t stoked about environmental regulations and plenty have stopped trying all together.

    Currently their plan is to just throw more urea at the exhaust.

    I remember them having to bypass the DEF system on a lot of vehicles because they didn’t make enough spare parts of the system they put in. So I’m sure they knew either face public backlash or get fined by the government. It was probably a calculation where the 2b was on the cheaper side from them. I’m sure they made enough money that they don’t feel the need to fight it.

    Once again, not an endorsement. I’m sure every diesel engine manufacturer is/will/was doing the same thing.


  • "By taking a holistic look at the yearly progression of the Antarctic ozone hole over the last two decades, we find that:

    The addition of recent years to the Antarctic (60°S–90°S) total column ozone time series results in insignificant long-term change since the early 2000’s, even where significant recovery has previously been reported. During this time, we find a delay in both the deep ozone hole onset date as well as the breakup date."

    Tl:dr if all you’re doing is looking at the peak/minimum times of year it can seem better. The hole “breathes” and they’re getting delayed.

    I work on diesel trucks, they create a lot of N0x. This article talks about how N0x being bad. It’s a niche thing but I at least understand why I tend to see these things first.






  • There is less war, but that’s not always a great indicator. Depending on how you define “war” you could even define Ukraine/Russian war not as a war.

    Life expectancy is going up because of 3rd world countries finally catching up. It’s going down in America.

    The “world” is also getting richer. But the average person is getting poorer.

    Also ozone layer isn’t doing great, there are race riots still, there is threat of nuclear war with Russia existing in its current state, a lot of rights are threatened and a lot of people want to return to a time before women’s suffrage. I haven’t looked up anything on infant mortality, but I imagine with abortion band happening that will also change for the worse.

    The only peace I’ve found is action.
