Sorry man, but the only chip going inside of you in your lifetime is a dorito.

Or, we can be proactive.

And by proactive you mean vote for people for whom climate change is at best not their top priority and at worse a hoax. What else do you do to combat global warming, Chula? Do you carpool? Turn the light off when you leave a room? Post pithy memes on Facebook?

Oxfam is a bunch of bull**** neoliberalism. This example aside, donating to them is almost exactly like voting for Democrats. It makes you a part of the problem instead a part of the solution.

You lost the right to talk about proactive environmentalism when procreated. More people more problems.

Batlord’s carbon footprint ends with him. That’s the best we can do.

I'm pretty sure he's just making a joke about inserting chips with that gif he's posted. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I don't donate to them, but they and charities like them are always clogging up the streets, knocking at doors and trying to get us to sign up. I hate that high-pressure selling. And if they know you're a guy they'll make sure it's some pretty girl in a miniskirt they send in to "convince" you to donate.

I'm asking you, if you're going to tell me to be proactive, what the hell you're doing to save the planet? Cause you seem like an arbitrary middle-aged guy living a middle-class life doing middle-class things who concerns himself with politics as a hobby along with playing the guitar and golfing but really doesn't do anything else besides maybe turning the light off when you leave a room. You know, like most normal people. Those same normal people who've led to this state of events both by their actions and inactions.

But maybe I'm wrong and you write letters to your congressman, organize environmental... things, or just, you know, take meaningful time out of your life to do ANYTHING. So, Chula, how are you helping to stop the world from being set on fire?
