Very true, had not considered that

The carbon that we eat would've been released one way or the other, and is part of the carbon cycle.

The carbon we release by burning fossil fuels has been stored for a long long time and will not quickly be absorbed after release and will thus suddenly create a massive excess of carbon in the air.

I likethat he does the most make a wish requests but yeah lost a lot of respect after that video came out.

Still a nice guy, but maybe too nice.

There's a catchy song about a similar thing by indie band Bishop Allen https://youtu.be/_LpmrZbTu1o

I really don’t like that dude. I didn’t care for him to begin with but now I actively dislike and avoid anything he’s involved with.

Man I didn't think someone using 'temporary' in the wrong direction would piss me off so much.

Hey buddy, some us go in our pants.

I partially agree, as obviously the ship is slightly different from what it was before the plank was swapped. I would have said, that the overall appearance of the ship, as well as it's function and all the other defining characteristics, stay the same. Because even one plank is swapped, it still functions the way it did before. That's also why I wouldn't say that this can be applied to humans or any other living thing. Yes, we are a different person each new day, but that's not due to a bacteria dying or a skin cell getting replaced. It's because of the things we learn and experience on that day and that's something a ship can't do.

yes but the carbon you breathe out comes from the food you eat

Nor do we live in hell.

And you know what privileged families are? A line of people making good decisions. These good decisions result in an easier life for their children and why shouldn't that be the case?

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe it's 100% merit that determines success. There's definitely some luck and geography involved but by and large smart hard working people succeed and dumb lazy people fail.

I think your arguments are dumb and lazy, how successful are you?

well.. technically the compass points towards the magnetic south of the earth magnetic field.. which is at the north pole...

That's because the magnetic north of your compass is attracted by the magnetic south of earth, so what we call "north" is actually the magnetic south... pretty weird I know

We are complicated.

I went to africa. They had toilets just like ours. But the residential ones never seemed to be hooked into plumming, you used a bucket and sink water. Businesses always seemed to have it connected to the plumbing.

When I first got there, I had diariah from airplane food and 22 hours of flying. I didn't realize you refilled it yourself. I thought there toilet was broken at the most inconvenient time ever, when it was completely filled with my diariah about 5 minutes after most of them met me.

Oh, playing the “You’re a victim!” card? Haha. Pathetic.

Most judges and lawyers (it’s often that lawyers become judges) come from wealthy families with connections that can get them into, and pay for, law school. They party in frat houses, pay off schools to graduate. Then they shake greasy hands with those connections they got from going to these law schools, in order to get the position they’re looking for.

It’s the definition of privileged. You’re a naive idiot, if you think otherwise. Why do you think our prisons are overwhelmed with nonviolent/innocent people? Gotta feed that prison system.

Grow up my guy. You don’t live in paradise.

All water is recycled water. It doesn't magically vanish when flushed; it returns to be used again somewhere.

Oh no, looking all stupid with my double chin and weird nose and such

Whenever I travel to Latin America or Asia I always develop a strong appreciation for 3 things in the west.

1. Abundance of potable water

2. Trash pickup

3. High quality plumbing and sewer

I dunno man, I don't think most could or would beg in mandarin.

We could have named the direction the compass points to magnetic south. And that's still no up or down. Magnetic north could be in the same place as Svalbard, in the bottom of the map.

Yes hello from the Middle East where I often see contractors rinsing off their faces in our bathroom runoff water. I can’t wait to get back to the US where people truly don’t get how good we have it.
