friendbot2000 posted:As for your question earlier about how you get involved in your community when you don't know you neighbors Ace. I have always found the simplest way to get to know your neighbors is to invite them for dinner or start a "game night". You also mentioned you are not super comfortable with the language of the country you are in, well that is a good way to help you get more comfortable. Just knock on your neighbor's door and say "I am trying to get to know the people in my neighborhood a bit better, was wondering if you would like to come for dinner?" Or some variation of that. It works wonders. We are often so disconnected from each other that for someone to make the first move is delightfully refreshing. I have gotten to know most of the people in my apartment complex by just chatting with them at the pool in the summertime or inviting people I see in passing every day over for dinner. It builds community and I think it will help your mental state too my friend. I can't speak for anyone else but I'm not inclined to trust food offered by someone I don't know, obviously restaurants or whatever are an exception.

DrNutt posted:I had a pretty terrifying realization this morning that Conservatives do have a plan for dealing with Climate Change, it's just that said plan is them enabling tin pot dictators and strong men all over the world to commit genocide against climate refugees, ethnic minorities, and other impoverished and at risk populations. They are straight up calculating that their best chance for elites to survive Climate Change is to wipe out all but a few loyal poors and ride it out, hoping that a drastically reduced developing population is enough to buy them a few hundred more years of lovely management. Seems pretty accurate to me.

I like how over and over with this topic the truth is just too hard to cope with so we all must be mental illness suffering doomsayers.

You all were aghast at the idea of raising a kid whose life will involve more hardship than our generation, and now you're stacking on a life of solitude to it? Everything that exists is a consequence without a purpose.

In lieu of hope I am driven to stay alive by empathy for people who are worse off than me, a sense of duty to "make the world a better place" by the time I die than when I was born and a desire to learn stuff. So even though we are doomed I try to help people be less ignorant and maybe help influence decisions made by people with power that impact our future.

Tab8715 posted:Completely unexpected and good things have happened through out history such as the Civil Rights Movement, Vaccinations to the personal computer. Those thing required effort to accomplish, many individuals actively working together to achieve a goal. Not a thing magicked into existence. I have something to contribute for once, this is the backyard of my great-aunt/uncle's house on the southern Oregon coast.  Look at that species diversity, you too could have a yard like that depending on the climate of your residence.

But I guess everything these days increases your risk of cancer by a hundredth of a percent. I think that things which cause cancer now caused cancer in the past too.

Tab8715 posted:This thread is incredibly hostile to anything remotely positive which is quite odd when I’ve been simultaneously been following numerous actual climate scientists on twitter whom have dedicated their whole lives to this problem but still have faith. Imagine being alive in 1980 and studying this sort of stuff - everyone would think your absolutely crazy. Fast forward a few decades, nothing has been done and Trump is president. "synonyms: trust, belief, confidence, conviction, credence, reliance, dependence; optimism, hopefulness, hope, expectation" None of these is necessarily rooted in reality.

nankeen posted:this is my benchmark for whether someone feasibly could survive in the post-industrial idyll: have you ever grown your own pumpkin from a seed, eaten it, and found it nourishing? Yeah, made pumpkin pie with actual pumpkin instead of canned not a pumpkin squash. Roasted the seeds in an oven too which were tasty.

Squalid posted:Could you explain to me why a 9% decrease (before accounting for advances in production) in agricultural yields is in the same ballpark of negative consequences as total human extinction within our lifetimes? Presumably you mean this in a philosophical sense or. . ? Kinda hard to get a read on the argument you were making So many people are going to loving die that it is unacceptable, it is disgusting to really consider the terrible things humanity as a whole have done. As this is currently unavoidable we are "doomed".
