Ceramic Shot posted:Part of the problem I feel is people reserving the critical point of view to their image of an outsider group while fortifying their blind spots. he's literally said that "sometimes they have secret reasons so we should just take their word for it" meanwhile i didn't have the entire bi-partisan report memorized so the entire thing was fake.

But isn't southern Florida just going to get flooded because of climate change? Seems like he'd just be making a bet that he'll die before he has to move again, only this time he'll have to deal with the burden of an unsellable home.

Mercury_Storm posted:florida bad Can confirm. But, for the most part I like where I live here on Annastia Island in St. Augustine. Although, "being able to walk to the beach to the east or to the pier to the west" is not as appealing as it used to be for obvious reasons. I'm not moving anywhere until my son is grown up unless I have to.

I went to Florida once in December and I waded into the Atlantic Ocean, and that poo poo is surprisingly warm!! Then I drank a Leinenkugel and saw some gators, the whole trip was very provincial. Anyway, that's my Florida story.

InsertPotPun posted:i agree with everything you said but my chud boss is the perfect example of this. i'll bring up some fact, something trump did, and he'll ask question after question until he gets an "i don't know" and then declare my entire point invalid. but, when he has a "fact" and i ask a question it's "pointless to ask questions" or i'm "just being difficult". he treats the questions as a personal attack. and it happens over and over again. like, why pretend he's interested in what you say. just be like "look we both know you don't give a poo poo. you don't have or need a reason to like trump. you keep coming to me as if you want my approval for your vote or something." this has a much higher chance of going well if it is clear that you loathe biden, as loathing democrats at least gives everyone room to end the conversation on a point of agreement. its also nice to be able to say the sky is blue and not get well actually, etc. Hodgepodge has issued a correction as of 22:48 on Aug 27, 2020 |

Gradual rise is going to keep encroaching on drainage, sewer, and water treatment & delivery infrastructure and eventually overwhelm it; as someone else pointed out, every hurricane which causes a flooding event is just going to add that much more stress to those respective systems as well. That is the kind of stuff that is only a couple decades away, if that.

Yeah, you gotta remember that historical average ages are being skewed by the high infant mortality rate humans experienced for most of history. As long as you made to your fifth birthday, you had a good chance of living into your sixties or longer.

Plus tons of disease and plagues when we started hanging out in huge groups. Then we made life so comfortable that we've collectively decided to forget that things used to be worse. What I'm saying is we'll be back rn hunting and gathering soon enough!
