Very true. I mean, people think rising sea levels just means losing beach front property, and they ignore the cataclysmic chain reaction of mass fish die off, acidification, and severe weather. Not to mention the increasing temperatures are allowing for pathogens - in particularly fungi to adapt to higher average temperatures, which means humans (and other mammals) won’t be able to use fevers to fight them off. We’ll continue to see more novel diseases, pandemics, etc. It’s for the best anyway. The sooner the earth can get rid of us, the sooner it can return to equilibrium.

I’m pushing 50 and I tend to think that there’s maybe one or two generations left to live before society collapses due to this shit. The copium being taken by some people on where we’re at is pretty nuts, not to mention the outlandish solutions people are proposing like putting reflective particles into the atmosphere to ‘dim the sun’, rather than just do the things scientists have been shouting for decades. I’ve done my part (which amounts to measurably nothing). But as you said, it’s over kids. We’re at the part of a roller coaster ride where the first couple cars have started down that hill and there’s no way to stop the acceleration of everything else, only unlike the roller coaster, the bottom is the end of the ride.

These specifically are invasive species to these states and negatively impact the ecosystem. It won’t affect native species.

Edit to add that these mosquitos are the carriers of yellow and dengue fever.

The funny thing is this article talks about kids. My Mom is in her 70s and I maintain her phone and she currently uses a pixel 6, so it’s the latest os of course. Whenever I see her, I have to declutter her notifications. They’re constant. Apps and websites have gotten more noisy and aggressive in prompting users to enable notifications or sending constant push crap and I don’t think most people know how to disable them while retaining what they’re actually wanting to get.

I finally have a void kitty myself and I amuse my friends by sending pictures that state there is a cat in this picture. He is so incredibly light absorbent it is insane.

You can also pay for it and get a refund, which is what I did. It isn’t anywhere close to being finished.

Exactly this. Also, the market has cooled off now with more people looking for employment, so if they need to rehire, it will be cheaper.

I have a handheld marine vhf radio with a removable battery that I can throw in the ocean and it will work and continue to work for days. Don’t believe the bs the manufacturers tell you.

No matter how many times you post this, you aren’t going to counter a century of bad deals and predatory behavior. Car dealers have zero place in the market stream any longer.

I’m not sure how informed any 13 year old is, so this doesn’t concern me - what concerns me is that most 12-15 year olds are just putting in massive hours on this nonsense. My partner’s 13 yr old spends, no exaggeration, 8 hours/day on TikTok. If not more. I just started looking at access time on my pi-hole and router out of curiosity and it is disturbing. He is not an outlier.

Which couch will they look in to find all that money??
