What is offsets?

When movie directors cast a person of color in their films to avoid criticisms of being racist. It doesn't really work and follows along the same logic as a carbon offset, "I'm doing something bad, so I'll buy my way out of it so that I can continue to have the moral high-ground--or at least not be criticized as having a racist movie."

Samuel L. Jackson is in the new Star Wars movies, so they couldn't be racist. He's one of Lucas's melanin offsets. Mace Windu is a melanin offset for Jar-Jar Binks.

Offsets - what is it?

A guitar, usually electric, featuring an offset "waist." The lower and upper sections are offset from each other. The offset waist was designed to be more comfortable when playing in a seated position. These guitars and basses were introduced in the late 50's with the Fender Jazzmaster. The guitar was embraced by the Surf music scene. This prompted Fender to release the short scale Jaguar, and many others. Some examples include the Fender Jazzmaster, Fender Jaguar, Fender Mustang, Fender Musicmaster, Fender Toronado, Jazz Bass, many Reverend guitars.

I really love to play my Offset Guitar through my '65 Fender Twin Reverb!

What does "offsets" mean?

An act of pretending to care about the environment. The attempt to justify ones use of greenhouse gas emissions. A false hope for solving global warming. The act of buying ‘carbon credits’ from a third-party company that says it will offset the carbon emissions the purchaser produces. The problem with carbon offsetting is it allows companies to continue to produce harmful greenhouse gasses while their offset has done little or nothing to counter global warming. A recent Financial Times article found that many offset companies and their 'carbon credits' were of either uncertain value or were completely worthless. Global warming cannot be solved by just planting more trees, a common way to attempt to offset ones emissions. If global warming could be solved by just planting trees, environmentalists would be planting night and day. A certain well known ex-vice-pres 'eco-maniac' very interestingly endorses the practice of carbon offsetting. The industry of carbon offsetting is expected to double by 2010.

A better solution to solve global warming is to reduce total emissions as much a possible.

Journalist: Environmentalists say your company is going to produce a 3% increase in greenhouse gas emissions on earth.

Company CEO: That is indeed super true, but it's totally okay because we carbon offset. We bought a shit-ton of carbon credits, so we are carbon neutral, duuuude!

Rebranding of the word 'exercise', for the type of people that do that kind of thing. It's a 21st century mindset; not exercising to get fit or healthy like most other functioning humans but offsetting the shit lifestyle you already enjoy.
