Alright, Tell me your WORST date stories. Whose got the worst date? . I’ll start . One time I went on a date who -opened the door in pajamas. Told me he went out did errands came back and got back into them KNOWING I was coming over -told me he had roommates (that roommate was his mom) -told me there was no good Mexican food in LA so he only ate at Chipotle and jack in the box (literally said those were the only two places he would eat out at) -told me he didn’t believe in Tipping -told me Mexican food was too ethnic for him (he knew I was Mexican and I was shook because he was like Indian+ Iranian+ Pakistani just like gave me this list of countries his family had come from from the Middle East so I was like what???? HOW AM I TOO ETHNIC WHEN U 50 SHADES OF BROWN YOURSELF?? Like I would have NEVER said that about any of the dishes from either side of his family??) -told me he wanted to get into real estate because he figured it would be the least amount of work possible. -told me he never wanted to travel because why travel when he can just google photos of a place online for free -told me he never gets excited about anything (I don’t know why you would preface any first date wi That but lmao) -had recently quit his job as a video game tester because he didn’t like the drive to work -when we got to the bill it was $32 & he looked at me and was like I can’t afford this So needless to say there was no second date . . . #ZeroWasteMemes #EarthMemes #EcoFriendlyMeme #Meme #Memes #EarthFriendly #GoGreenSaveGreen #SlutsForSustainability #SlutForSustainability #environment #environmentalist #EnvironmentallyFriendly #GoGreen #SustainableLifeStyle #Sustainableliving #sustainable #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #Eco #EcoPoc #Climatechange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Dirty talk

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are causing oceans to warm, they argue, bleaching the reef's corals to death Today, over 90% of the Great Barrier Reef shows evidence of bleaching following a 2016 heatwave that saw sea temperatures in Australia reach record levels, triggering the most damaging and widespread coral bleaching event on record But while some scientists fear the worst, it appears their dire predictions over the reef's future have yet to put a dent in the tourism industry. About 2.8 million people visited the marine park in 2016, according to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park authority. "There is no evidence that visitor numbers to the (area) are currently being affected by perceptions that the reef is under threat," said a Tourism Queensland spokesperson. "(We) have long marketed the Great Barrier Reef as one of our major natural attractions that visitors from around the world can experience. We will continue our marketing focus along these lines." Even so, a number of operators admit they are worried about what the future holds.
