But most will call you too radical.
Most ppl are blind-AF ignorant of what is actually happening.
Climate scientists have a front-row seat. And many of them are becoming so traumatized and panicked by the emerging evidence that they are starting to call themselves “climate pathologists” and not even bothering to save for retirement or plan for families/children, because they honestly don’t expect any kind of a coherent civilization to exist much past the 2050s, and no mankind at all at some point between 2100 and 2200.
When those people whose day job is to marinate extensively in the raw, emerging data, start disconnecting from civilization and acting like it’s gonna go bye-bye within their lifetime, maybe we ought to sit up and pay attention.
We have already blown well past the 1.5℃ limit. The “official” limit is calculated by the actual temperature being above +1.5℃ for up to 20 consecutive years.
And no, that wasn’t a typo - that’s the political definition of “exceeding +1.5℃”.
And our CO2 production continues to accelerate. We haven’t even begun to reduce acceleration, much less enter into a steady-state production or reverse back to net zero.
We’re f**ked. As a species, we are setting up the conditions for an absolutely epic collapse of our civilization back to the Iron Age (or even the Stone Age if it’s bad enough) within the next 100 years, and the inertia of current changes may be enough to allow the entire planet to enter a true Venus Scenario, dooming all life on this rock millions of years ahead of time.
And no, we will not “innovate our way out of this problem”, for two main reasons:
- Business As Usual (BAU) is far more profitable, and so the Parasite Class - who have virtually all of the political and economic power - will fight tooth-and-nail against any fixes until it is far too late.
- Capitalism’s Return On Research (RoR) has utterly cratered over the last century. We now require more than 1,000× the investment $$$ for the same progress we did a century ago. Which ties directly into № 1, and why BAU will be the default until it’s waaaaaayyyy too late.
Our only option is to pull a page from 1795 France and eliminate the Parasite Class entirely, thereby removing our only true obstacle to change. Whether it be via punitive taxation or sharp steel is up to them.
A long-handled scratcher. For reaching places that the casts are now not going to allow his arms to bend towards.
His arms are also going to get itchy AF inside those casts.
And for shits and giggles, get him a few rubber model cockroaches to stuff down inside those casts the day of their removal. Or really, any small rubber insect that is disagreeable to most people.
I have a “data transcription machine” which is meant to pull data off of old media. It has:
- 3½″+5¼″ combo floppy drive
- IDE hot swap cage
- Zip 250 IDE drive
- Jaz 2Gb SCSI drive
- Internal 50-pin and 68-pin SCSI controllers
Let’s just say that I have enough devices cross my bench that SpinRite 6 gets a monthly workout on some piece of old storage tech or another. Not everything is recoverable, but…
Despite uBlock, my first pick would be Tab Mix Plus. Firefox has yet to properly open up the API for tabs, so you still have to do some mucking around with internals, but TMP gives you multi-row tabs, specific tab-closing patterns, expanded right-click options, and a whole host of insanely useful tab features.
I have been using TMP almost since the beginning, a good 15+ years now, and consider it to be absolutely essential to a proper Firefox setup. I would be happy to punt my TMP config file to anyone interested.
That is not what MGTOW means in reality, and you know it. Stop playing coy.
Ah, ignorance. It exists both as an innocent lack of information as well as an intentional rejection of facts. Yes, your cultivated ignorance is on full display.
Honestly, there is a subtle but distinct difference between hardback and hardcover.
A hardback book has the cover fully designed with graphics, as it is meant to be seen.
A hardcover has a minimalist cover, without any designs since the dust jacket is what is visually flashy and attractive and is meant to be seen.
Otherwise, the two are structurally identical, only with the hardcover having an extra protective layer in the dust jacket.
That I am simply not greedy enough, ruthless enough, or duplicitous enough to be my own boss, much less the boss of anyone else.
I only ever used Authy as a single-item TOTP vault for BitWarden, but I moved off of it long before they ever mentioned the Windows app shutdown due to dissatisfaction with the UI. I just didn’t like their “card-like” interface, and they never offered a super-compact list-like interface. The card interface just wasted too much screen real estate, even on a desktop, and it just got immeasurably worse under mobile.
but the police couldn't care less.
The police protect property, not people. Your property was just too insignificant for them to care about.
If you have a net worth in the many dozens of millions at minimum, they respond much better to even tiny incidents like that.
And IMO Koçulu should have sued NPM for everything they had. What NPM did to Koçulu was in violation of everything they stood for. Koçulu was there first with the Kik name, he should have had 100% of the rights to keep it.
