Imagine they are looking for natural resources, like what if they discovered oil on mars  (there was once an ocean, perhaps carbon based life forms). |
Are you advocating we kill other planets like we're doing Earth? |
Now that’s a controversial opinion. We will never kill Earth but eventually Earth will likely kill us.

Yep. Earth was here long before us, and it will continue to be long after us. We aren't killing Earth, we are destroying the planet's ability to sustain us as one of its life forms.

Thank you, VLF for opening my eyes to an in-depth truth. I agree with your assessment. I hadn't thought about it that way.

"The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE ARE! We’re going away. Pack your sh*t, folks. We’re going away."

Nikola Tesla was Jeffrey Epstein-ed. Both were silenced. Much like what "THEY" did to JFK.

No way. PostnPivot must have supported child brides. It's canonical law. |
He also believed in unicorns.

There's a cover up going on in Miami!
Something shady went down at the mall on New Year's day.
Feels like an X-File.

If you don't know the quality of the toppings, then no toppings is definitely the safe choice. |

I went today and I couldn't find it. I found an apple lingonberry drink but I don't think it's the same thing.

In the Cafe, there should be lingonberry juice and lemon lime soda in the fountain drinks. Or, there's lingonberry concentrate in a glass bottle for sale. |

I would rather suffer 1 hour of excruciating leg cramps for an hour than to be dizzy or nauseated for a quarter of that time.

I hear that, I've struggled at times with a dizziness issue, had surgery for it, but still once a year or so, I get bad dizziness for hours at a time.
