Cheech Wizard stories are clean, wholesome, reflective truths that go great with the marijuana munchies and a blow job.

Yep, still trying to parse what "record low pressure system" means exactly, but I think "Oh gently caress" applies. B.C. Ferries have pre-emptively cancelled all the Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay runs tomorrow. I think they're spooked.

A containership got into trouble yesterday off the West Coast and dumped 30 or 40 containers which will be floating around now just below the surface waiting for small vessels to run into them. Some of the remaining containers are on fire and at least two contain hazardous goods. Hopefully they get the fire under control before conditions really get snotty out there. Sounds like some crew member killed an albatross or something.

Start charging your EV tonight because we're going to lose power.

I know deniers will never have an "I was wrong" moment but I wonder if climate scientists and educators who pushed the line that "the best thing you can do is vote at the ballot and with your wallet" will ever have that feeling.

Like, at a certain point the reassuring self delusion that we can all come together and do the right thing will have to give way to full crack ping, right? When we'll see more and more scientists openly declaring that the end is nigh and its too late to do anything about it.


I'm not sure that would happen, looking at the way extroverts of all level of expertise have handled the pandemic. They've suffered, and as the pandemic has dragged on we've seen increasingly shrill calls to "get back to normal" for the sake of our mental health by following a bunch of rules that do little to nothing to prevent the actual transmission of the virus. Wouldn't surprise me if we see an analogue of this as climate change damage gets worse.

Introverts otoh have retreated to our bean bunkers equipped with separate monitors for writing projects, porn, and SomethingAwful, muttering something about Malthus, but nobody listens to us anyway.

I met a guy last week who was tellling me I should be 30% in bitcoin and 30% in gold but also hoarding bullets, and I was trying to conceive of a world where bullets would be super helpful and necessary and yet somehow loving Bitcoin Network still operates, and when I asked him about this he just said "it's the internet, it's basically impossible to shut down" and hand waved it off :allears:

This was at a small gathering of a neighbor's mostly college buddies, one of whom works in international development for some huge firm, and whenever Bitcoin Bro would go off about Bitcoin, this other guy would snigger quietly, as if trying to not be impolite but also totally unable to stifle his laughter at the insanity being spewed.

Of course, if I still had my bitcoin from 2012 I could instantly pay off my mortgage, switch our whole property to solar, and put in a water purification system. But, you know, really needed that $400 Nissan alternator, so what can you do ;) "$35 is surely an all time high!!"

why did he think these are weeds and why did you not kill him violently resist in self defense


I would have tried to spray them all off instantly, and then simply plant more if they die. Over and over and over.

Car crash is a cool analogy but Titanic is really where it's at.

You got people from all strata of society unwittingly doomed by their betters (who think coal power is tits and being rich and powerful insulates them from everything). All of them sliding out of control together with no one knowing until the last second that a long series of bad and mostly $$$$ related decisions have been made. Suddenly in the night there is an awful *crack ping* everyone can hear, the ship is still afloat and horizontal leaving plenty of time for more debate and no (futile useless) action. A few people look at the numbers and realize there was never going to be a way to survive. A mad squabble for limited resources to possibly survive said night ensues as it becomes hard to deny the planet is listing to stern. And just forget the Carpathia exists in this metaphor unless you believe aliens will save us.
