The cold hard truth is our societies need to change from the ground up but it’s a death sentence for any politician to lobby for the changes required. Imagine if a politician came out and said “meat is now banned” and “petrol is now banned”? They would be laughed into obscurity.

We are fucked because we do not yet want off this ride. We want our cheap consumption. The fix is nuanced and multi-facetted and I don’t know if we will get there. Look for geo-engineering to science us out of this. We aren’t going to do the right thing. We’d rather seed the ozone with sulfer dioxide to lower the earth temp.

Shh the people are frothing at the mouth. Protect yourself and your own, grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. I think we are pretty much past rationalizing.

Not just you but everyone reading this. Be happy. We found a place that works for us. Why bitch and moan about what could be or what was?

I mean maybe B’Ellana if Tom was into some kinky shit but we aren’t talking about Voyager right now.

My friend and I talked about this last night. Calvin and Hobbes had it better. The surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is they haven’t contacted us yet.

Why would any self respecting alien want to engage this dumpster fire?

Low key this is why I’m happy I am an externalized. As I told my psychologist once years ago when I was going through a rough patch “it’s not that I want to kill myself. It’s that I want everyone else to die”

That said I’m not insane and clearly ain’t noone got the time and energy to kill the world nor is that a healthy thing to do. Lol

No offense but this is so goddamn stupid. We don’t live in a bubble and unfortunately their actions may have an impact as they ripple through the business and political world.

Intentionally censoring news because “lol get wrecked Jeff Bezos” is hurting no one but yourself.

Nitpick but healthcare is in some respects still funded adequately. The problem is we throw so much money (and always increasing) into administrative bullshit and not doctors and nurses.

Military journalist Gwyn Dyer reported on this almost 2 decades ago.

The global militaries have been planning for this for years. You see those ships with refugees from northern Africa? That volume is going to ramp up plus Mediterranean countries are going to exodus north to the Nordic states and immigration is going to lock the fuck down. People are going to die by the millions. Maybe not in 2 years but this is our future.

On the plus side, and I am fucking saying this sarcastically, at least it’s the “right people” dying which is to say those not white and those not rich.

I don’t have the answer but I think of it like this.

Email is essentially a direct conversation between you and someone in the same room but you may extend (cc) to those people in the house. There is an implicit “I am including you in the conversation”

Lemmy on the other hand is more akin to talking to someone in a crowded bar but the conversation is recorded and anyone over the world has the ability to listen to the conversation at any given time.

Apples and oranges.

My understanding is it’s no longer that critical. The sky is no longer falling on IPv4

I’m stealing this. I’m seriously worried for the world. We are entering a new age of the diggers and levellers and that ended with the beheading of the king and no real change.

We have a segment of the population that’s exceedingly frothing at the mouth and in some cases for very valid reasons but at the same time they have no plan and that’s scary. They want to scorch the earth instead of fix it.

Another amateur history buff?!

I wasn’t implying the diggers chopped off Charles’ head. I was more hinting at he political turmoil at the time was very similar to what we see now and it scares me. Those who don’t pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it and we are collectively horrible at teaching people history!

To expand on this, every stretch will be made to re-enforce their beliefs.

Aliens are bipedal? Intelligent design!

Aliens have mouths? intelligent design!

Okay so make communal housing/bathrooms for cheaper rent or invest in expanding the plumbing

This is how you get dystopian highrise slums

There should be governance around bot creation given the impact they can have. You shouldn’t stop their creation but they should have clear ownership to a user otherwise what’s stopping someone making a CP bot and running it out of North Korea or some shit?

We are all in on an experiment right now. Rules need to exist and they need to be enforced.

Cardio is awesome, the runners high is real, but you have to be well conditioned so it’s tough for beginners.

Hell nah. I spent 40 years telling people running is what you do to get away from the police. I started jogging during the pandemic 2 years ago. You sure as shit don’t need to be well conditioned just be aware of your body and its limits which I will admit many people are not.
