I don’t care who “leads” clean tech. This isn’t a dick swinging, nor measuring contest. We need to stop emitting greenhouse gasses and even remove some from the atmosphere, as well as deacidify the oceans of possible. It won’t matter who had the biggest gangrene dick if we all cook to death, it just needs to get done. Holy fucking shit, if there’s a perfect argument against intelligent design, the existence of humans is it.

TELL ME ABOUT THE OVARIES! I MUST KNOW ABOUT THE OVARIES!

While I agree in principle with the lawsuit, it is interesting that this is the game that people are suing over. I heard the hype and downloaded the crew 2 and it was complete dogshit of a game. I don’t mean from the perspective of finish, just the that the game, as intended, sucked ass. This isn’t the only ubisoft game like this, I don’t know how they manage to generate so much hype and fanfare around these tuberculosis vomit games over and over again.

Somethings fishy about this doctor…

How did the doctor become aroused enough to be stroked through his clothes? Also, what is that material? Leggings? Lol.

I can respect that, but also respect that people will find it empty and confusing, especially because it isn’t corporate, so there is no funnel to get the rolling. They have to be motivated enough to seek all of that information out and as much as people use social media, it isn’t that important to them.

I don’t use mastodon, but yes, people are use to social media doing everything for you. Youtube is probably the greatest example of a service that will spoonfeed you content with little to no input from the user. My understanding of mastodon is that you have to know what you’re looking for to find content.

Valid, though in some cases dark, points. The US is one of, if not the largest, per capita emitters on the planet, though. Our military alone is a top emitter. I just find the outlook for meaningful change in this country grim and the effects we’ve already begone to see from climate change are pretty severe.

So…uh…is everyone ready to join those of us slandered as “doomers” in reality now? Nothing of significance has been done or is being done, and this problem is not going away. It is only going to get worse. Unless everyone joins us in reality, it is over. I’m not exactly hopeful, as the “I hate all science” party just swept both houses, along with the presidency and they already had the courts.

Gonna take a two month breather?

Idk where you were 2004, but the conservatives you speak of certainly weren’t around. In fact, I’m quite sure they never existed, considering conservatism in the US has always been closely tied to white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

Coked up on ketamine…🤔

I just had to block that whole instance as well, especially because the same people mod all the subs. They literally delete me comments for being “uncivil,” though I was literally just repeating back what was said to me. Those comments were allowed to stay, of course. The mod was supposedly generous for not banning me. It’s cool, bro, I’ll ban myself.

It would be prudent for a sentient species with such long lifespans to practice planned procreation rather than multiplying exponentially like a culture on a petri dish.

It could be the first as well, given the religious motivations of the law.

I’m sure when you come through, find the issue, and solve it that gives you a great feeling. You’re are correct that it’s additional stress managing, but if you can throw down with the frontline crew, you get respect other managers just don’t get and it can make it a little easier on that front.

I agree. I only have shallow knowledge of 40k, but the exploration of the history around the universe was very fascinating. I also think it’s interesting that this issue seems to occur with satire, particularly when involving fascism. It brings to mind starship troopers and the more recent helldivers, how so many miss the point. I can’t help but feel the glorification of the military and military service in many of today’s societies lends itself to this problem. The military is inherently authoritarian, against diversity (including diversity of thought), and intentionally dehumanizes “the enemy” (turns out, it isn’t easy to kill people). Couple this with an image of masculinity that centers around adversity at best, and violence at worst along with so many men who feel they have missed opportunities to meet this standard and you have a recipe for fascists. How do we address this within our society? I don’t have the answers, but we should all be thinking about it.

I have an autism and anxiety diagnosis, but people often assume I have adhd. I say that to say that when shit hits the fan, folks tend to look to look to me, both in my professional and personal life. Maybe this is why I “love” the kitchen environment, especially when nothing is prepped and the tickets are hitting the floor. I’m in management now, and I keep being told to stop, but I’m still in the trenches all the time.

I think they are talking about those stupid ass vertical short dramas, though they are pretty transparent about them being A.I. scripts. The whole idea behind them is that they are mindless entertainment offered at very low cost and available in short eposodic format for phones.

Maybe. Without it, though, the individual would have to build and maintain a site, direct traffic there, and handle payments, as well still do all of the community management and content creation they already do. Now either they’d spend their own time doing this if they have the knowledge, or pay others, which might meet or exceed that 20% depending on their income level.
