Horrible news out of Miami.
- Oh fuck, were there people inside? I saw this on Twitter and was under the impression the building had been cleared?!Nairn
- Wow, fuck! that looks like a controlled demolition.utopian
- 51 people assumed to be living in collapsed building are not accounted for.utopian
- No news yet on how many people were in the units during the collapse. So far they’re saying 1 person has died.Ramanisky2
- this is the world's richest and most powerful country? what a shitshow. poor people inside :(_niko
- Totally Niko. Is the US equivalent of the Grenfall Towers fire?Ianbolton
- South Florida looks more like Beirut.utopian
- Jesus. Poor people, that's awful.instrmntl
- This might finally put some regulation on labor in that city. Most of it is random Cubans/Puerto Ricans (non union) building shite for foreign cash.toemaas
- BTW, My family and I stayed at a place 2 blocks away from there on the ocean front in FEB - area is in "re-development" kinda shitty over there.toemaas
- Just heard a report that there is something like 99 people on accounted for so far... UnbelievablePonyBoy
- UnaccountedPonyBoy
- Mostly retired people already in bed.
The stuff of nightmares.Ramanisky2 - The entire infrastructure of America is literally collapsing and crumbling...roads, bridges, energy grid, water, sewage, housing, internet, etc...MAGAutopian
- And yet they worship and celebrate multi billionaires who are too smart to pay taxes. Capitalism ftw_niko
- Is it really capitalism if there are state bailouts? Capitalist in profit, socialist in lossesESKEMA
- Wow! Maya? Houdini?********
- I'm so confused rn.. they're reporting a partial collapse? that top video doesn't look partial. Partial in regards to the whole complex? wtfsea_sea
- oh shit... the lights were on....
proper demolition would have cut the power already....pango - Horrible to say the least. So sad.dbloc
- @niko, if you want to talk about about first world disasters you need not go any further than your country's handling of the pandemic.hotroddy
- and you need not go beyond 60 miles off floridas' coast to see how socialism can ravege a country to where the infrastructure is a trace of 65 years agohotroddy
- even after receiving billions in 'economic aid' from Russia in 80's and Venezuela's pertro dollars for the last 20 years.hotroddy
- which one Hotroddy? the relatively low deaths or the social net that allowed Canadians to not starve to death and/or die because they had to work?_niko
- or the part where the ones that got sick didn't lose their homes or all their life savings to get cured?_niko
- calm. calm. all hotroddy is saying is that as long as US is doing better than Venezuela, it's all good.pango
- the part where they doubled down on ruining the economy and case count per capita exceeds that of the US. In a country one tenth the size of US.hotroddy
- got it, thanks pango. in that case congrats hotroddy on having less building collapses than a third world country... or is it more?_niko
- Yes, we are by far the leaders in collapsed buildings. Can't wait to be the leaders of tropical socialism.hotroddy
- so glad Us is doing better than Venezuelapango
- your sarcasm is insulting to venezuelans and almost racisthotroddy
- Still confused about how a handful of inspectors' neglect is somehow associated with a countries economic index...toemaas
- Yet another rant on socialism and Venezuela, LOLutopian
- wut? lol go ask any venezuelans and see if they think US should be doing better than them. US has every advantage to do better. it's a given.pango
- Venezuela WAS the USA 30 years ago.hotroddy
- US was a tropical socialist country?pango
- Keep up pango. Venezuela was a rich capitalist country that attracted as many immigrants as USA.hotroddy
- @utopian, I was talking about Cuba (60 miles off the coast of Florida. @pango made it about Venezuela. I guess he doesn't know his geography.hotroddy
- as many?
nono you made it about Venezuela. i wouldn't be talking about Venezuela if you didn't start it. don't push that shit on me lolpango - also seems like Venezuela is your go to punching bag. talk about insulting Venezuelan. you've done it every single time. the comparison is a real stretch.pango
- also i wonder if US had anything to do with government change.... hmmmmpango
- US played a part in the 2002 coup to try to overthrow Chavez.hotroddy
- not acknowledging that USA can become another venezuela is part of the problem. It shares the same class and demographic structures as USA. Cuba as well.hotroddy
- see that's exactly my poing. every time someone criticizes US, he then goes "what about Cuba? what about Venezuela?" thinking US cant be criticized is a farpango
- bigger problem than becoming cuba or venezuela. pffff lol if possible at all.pango
- You’d have to be a special kind of fucktard to think this was a product of socialism or that capitalism could have prevented this.monospaced

"The Internet Eats Up Less Energy Than You Might Think
New research by two leading scientists says some dire warnings of environmental damage from technology are overstated.""Even the predicted environmental impact of Bitcoin, which does require lots of computing firepower, has been considerably exaggerated by some researchers."

- Hood habits********
- https://twitter.com/…Bluejam
- Not concluded yet. There's a good chance they'll let it slide (as they should).formed
- Just for the impression, if it's up to the US, it'll leave a pretty big stain on our presence in the Olympics.formed
- the calming effect of pot can be useful in other sports (sports which involve aiming, same reasons beta-blockers are banned), but running is not one of themdrgs
- i read that smoking pot makes u faster than the speed of light.neverscared
- Quite a few skaters never got in the Olympics after weed showed up in their system.PhanLo

- "Running from responsibility" should be introduced as a sport at the Olympicsgrafician
- Hood Habits? I grew up in white upper class suburbia and weed was the least harmful drug people were doing. Plus she smoked in Oregon where its legal.fooler
- Regardless of where 'you' come from—what the laws are—what your feeeeeelings are—there are fucking rules in sports. It sucks but she most certainly knew better.PonyBoy
- dummy.gifutopian
- @pony Nah, you don't get to do some Ben Shortpants Shapiro feelings argument. The only feelings are that it's puritanical to have it outlawed, and anybody..garbage
- ..calling this hood habits is probably a racist. The facts are that study after study have shown that marijuana helps with post workout muscle inflammation.garbage
- So why not let the athletes help their bodies in the best way possible? They make enough for the pharmaceutical giants in the ad breaks, but weed's a no-no?garbage
- Darn, next you're going to figure out that the war on drugs is actually based on systemic racism and it's going to hurt your feelings. I'm sorry.garbage
- I know others said it but fuck that @ i_was.wordssssss
- Isn't it ironic that olympic athletes gets suspended for weed while professional sporting events get sponsored by beer and alcohol companies?fooler
- I bet in 20 years NASCAR will have the Daytona 500 brought to you by Cheech & Chongs Purple Haze pre rolled jazz cigarettes.fooler
- Instead of talking shit / calling folks racist etc why aren't 'you' lobbying to get the rules changed? You bitch and moan / name call @ the wrong peops, peops.PonyBoy
- Call the systemic waambulance, rules are racistGnash
- wut? i think people were only calling "i_was" racist.pango
- they should make it mandatory to smoke weed in sports, just like in the creative industries.neverscared
- @pony you're right, we shouldn't call out racists for being racist. Instead let's lobby the IOC lol. Brilliant.garbage
- you're focused on the nonsense of one person whom is obviously trolling you, garbage... and you're using to avoid the reality that 'rules' were broken.PonyBoy
- If you don't like the rules then lobby to get them changed. They are international rules of which thousands of athletes from hundreds of countries must follow.PonyBoy
- But Yes!! get hung up on the troll in the conversation and avoid reality altogether. I can see it now in some of your homes w/your kids contemplating...PonyBoy
- ... breaking some rule: "Yes, son!! Your emotions - let them take hold! Ignore the rules!!"PonyBoy
- bth. I don't care about Olympic at all lol. I'll stick to calling people out on the internet.pango
- Why the fuck should I care more about a woman getting caught smoking weed than a racist mouthing off. Are you fucking dumb? OK boomerKhurram
- @PonyBoy, fucking clown.Khurram
- No really though, I'm glad you're here to tell us all what to care more about. Thanks boomer.Khurram
- "Why the fuck are you angry at the racist, why aren't you pointing fingers at her for breaking rule!" literally shut up you clown.Khurram

- you're the one to speak.pango
- Big fucking yawn, go back to stormfront. Most of us here have functioning minds/hearts.garbage
- This wasn't about race at all. Till a racist showed up.pango
- This is about breaking a rule and not being able to compete... some of you let a troll hijack your emotions and now you can’t stop talking about race. LolPonyBoy
- That's what I said!pango
- Nobody was calling the system racist!
Olympic still stupid regardless.pango - "The only feelings are that it's puritanical to have it outlawed"
Grow up, don't call your mum everyday.******** - i call your mom every day.pango
- @pony. Rule hasn't been broken yet. if she attends the Olympics then the rule has been broken.pango
- huh? there'd be no conversation here if a rule hadn't been broken (taking prohibited drugs)...
I repeat: huh?PonyBoy - the rule's only broken if she attends. she's cant attend. Therefore she's following the rule.pango
- if she forces herself into attendance, then she'd be breaking the rule.pango
- pango
- Your order of operations are just a touch out of sequence, pangs... but you know this... now go make me an eggless frittata.PonyBoy
- hmmm my logic Jujutsu's not coming out as well as I thought. no go make your own eggless frittata! it's 70% eggs! there's no substitute for that!pango
- Damn.. these comments.. o_Omaquito
- There’s got to be a way to at least come close, pango... and no cheese!PonyBoy

Plan set out for 5,000 people to take part in Universal Basic Income trial in Wales
- Problem with UBI trials is that they're too short. Need somewhere slightly self-contained to try one out on a 'national' level for a decade or more.Nairn
- Still, good to see it trialled in the UK.Nairn
- Would Universal Basic Income drive up prices of everything?instrmntl
- Not if you drop the minimum wage to 0. There's no need for a min wage, or most social programmes, if you have UBI.zarkonite
