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?

It looked like he was just making a joke via pi. But maybe it's just me.

Proactive about getting a chip out of your brain dumbass.

Again, WTF are you babbling about?

Also, if I rate arbitrary on the scale of human usefulness and contributions to the big picture, where the hell you you sit on the same scale?
