I can’t even process this. This is not the way it works for any adult or continuing education I’ve encountered.

I’ve been fairly busy this week, so I just got around to catching up on some of the other threads. Just a couple of days ago, HDBC posted in the Eating cow, eating lamb, eating dog, eating cat? thread about his watching a video of two goats being forced to fight. He said he couldn’t unsee it. But, hey, he sure was able to watch the cruelty all the way to the end of the video.

Really, that’s just pure trolling.

Yup. Taking a phrase here and a totally unrelated phrase there to weave that story together. Extremely creepy.

And he’s at it again in the “How long life survive on the planet” in GD. The real concern is that humans won’t be able to pump enough CO2 into the atmosphere!

I reported it because he has a topic ban and has been warned for it in the past. (In this very thread!)

Me too but I was told it’s not close enough to global warming to trigger the ban

I debated before flagging but I figured since he got a warning **here** for posting about CO2 levels it should apply in GD.

🤷‍♂️

What the fuck do you think that an “end of the world” due to CO2 levels is if it’s not climate change?!

That’s easy! No more CO2 and no more plants . . . how he separates that claim from his thought that if we do anything to reduce CO2 because of climate change is beyond me.
