This ship would be like Gilligan's Island in space.

Well Germany is where Stormtroopers come from, right?

When I grew up, it was "below waist level" and resulted in a free punch to the shoulder, but there weren't any of the other rules.

(Edit: wait, I forgot that if you flinch, the puncher gets to go again)

 
 
 

I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

 
 
 

I see that you know your judo well.

Haven't you heard? SCART and VGA are going to have a major comeback in the 2030s.

This is the way.

Social media will jump from one super important and stressful thing that we all need to lose sleep over to the next with or without us. Yes, these things might be important, but a lot of online activism seems to be about who can scare more people into supporting X, Y, or Z with zero regard for the reader's mental health, the rhetoric used, or even being 100% factual.

It doesn't hurt to disengage every so often.

I try to watch what I read online, and it truly helps.

Do:

  • Keep yourself informed by reading bland articles about climate studies with direct interviews from the scientists conducting them.

  • Stay knowledgeable about who to vote for to support reasonable climate policies.

Do NOT:

  • Read articles that inject opinions from the web journalist, terrifyingly worded headlines designed to get you to click, or anything written for a secondary purpose (e.g. voter mobilization).

  • Get your info 2nd, 3rd, or 4th hand from social media personalities on tiktok, youtube, twitter, or any website with an algorithm than rewards the most extreme takes with more engagement.

  • Let fear prevent you from living the life you want to live or making long term plans.
