You know they'll start pulling shit like 'You do this new thing for me and I'll tip you for that other thing you did for me in the past '

I wasn't trying to prove what would survive, merely show how resilient life can be. If a simple microbe is guaranteed to survive in hell, something more complex able to behaviourally adapt/relocate is likely to as well. The greatest danger to complex life is having nothing to feed on.

Tropical fish might have to survive in the Arctic Ocean, or grasses in the northern prairies, insects of a zillion different types and sizes. Life, uh, finds a way.

We won't kill everything. No matter what we do. Life will continue and more of it than anyone thinks will, even of the plants and animals. It is humans and most of the large animals and intolerant plants that need fear the impending Climate catastrophe.

I feel as though the assumption that humans had the ability to kill all complex life like some people suggest is exaggerating the significance of humans

It absolutely is. There are microbes that thrive at the bottom of the ocean in the boiling acidic conditions of hydrothermal vents. There is absolutely no way anything humans can do at this point would kill ALL life on the planet. There will absolutely be some specialist microbe somewhere that looks at whatever we did to the planet and says 'yup, now is my time to shine!'.

Seriously. How. The Fuck. Are the Far-Right so GD popular like f'ing everywhere?

As if they haven't always been stories or not.

The paper doesn't even prove that they are healthier due to a greater sense of personal responsibility. It only theorizes this sense of personal responsibility is a possible cause. As others have pointed out the study results could be explained simply by picking conservatives that are upperclass and have more time/energy/money to spend on being healthy.

No worries. The music contents were so appalling that I had to remove it to be sure it didn't violate Rule 2 even if the actual video context was a critique.
