High heels relatively successful. I had to spend some time sitting down but it was kind of a cocktail party with tables scattered around so that was fine.

I stayed for a reasonable amount of time and now I'm gonna go home and watch Agents if Shield in my underwear and just fully relax for the first time in over a week.

I... agree... with lumpen. sort of.

In the sense of like, one of the biggest things threatened by environmental damage is human existence. So like, it's bad in that it's bad for us as a species, the value you place on that is up to you. Also threatens a lot of other species but the morality of that is questionable in a different way.

The Earth's biome would eventually recover from the effects of human activity and have a new wave of biodiversity after human extinction. I happen to think humans are a-okay and hope that we survive.

I recommend heading into space.

Thanks, Secret Santa! Wish you would have included a name hint! I would have never bought this for myself due to pretentious ~it's by that guy from that internet comic~ reasons, but I know a lot of friends who are going to love playing this with me. Thank you so much. :)

My secret santa is getting their gift ... soon.

lumpen you are dumb. saying that you cant call certain states of our environment objectively bad is like saying you cant exactly call cancer bad, because its just a different kind of growth. what we are doing to the environment is going to KILL us so therefore it is BAD.

I think it's very presumptuous to label anything as "bad" for the environment. There's no environmental situation that is inherently or objectively "better" or "worse". It's all just a matter of subjective preference. Life, and humanity, is very adaptable, and besides humans are just as "natural" as any other living thing on Earth, so everything we do is in harmony with nature by definition.

Due to the COP 21 being here, and specifically because of an unwelcome house guest who is using our flat to participate, I have had the environment on my mind for a couple of weeks. I do think we've ireedeemably hosed up the environment and it's both a feather in our cap (we can ACTUALLY change the world guys!) and a black eye (Oh poo poo we actually changed the world!). That said I'm not as doom and gloom about because A) the human species is overrated and we can't expect to be around forever, if we end up destroying ourselves due to this crap, as long as the planet exists, to quote Jurassic Park, life will find a way, and heck it may even once again be intelligent life! Honestly I think that's a pretty nice idea. Also, we're incredibly adaptable and sure many people may die, myself included, but we'll manage it one desperate way or another.

I take the consequences as you will, but you have to admit we did manage to do something unexpected here.

What I don't get is how you can say what you say straight faced lumpen and yet put natural in quotation marks.

I think he just means that he believes that human effects on the environment should be viewed with the same lens as animals who change their environment: beavers who build dams destroy habitats, ants that dig tunnels displace populations, and so on. Humans exist, therefore they have a claim to change the environment.

This is the only community I play mafia in so I can't speak to specifics because, like BK said, I feel like this is a good welcoming group, but in general I'd imagine because it's a game of social interaction. Without body language to help clue our instincts on whether someone is lying, we add meta reads on how people post. This has an unintentional consequence of people saying "X is trying way harder than normal so they are scum" which, while it might be true, can look daunting to a newcomer because they don't have that fountain of information to use. In person even someone new to a group can try to read body language but it's a much tougher task for a new person to tell if the tone or effort of a poster is different than normal. This extra hurdle can turn people away since it can appear to be a huge barrier to entry. It makes it appear as if we are a closed insular group when the reality is we have just played a jillion games with each other
Oh yeah this makes sense. Thanks. I've been around the fringes of SA mafia (I took part in a Survivor game) and did find there were some genuinely warm people here.
