Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.

the "let's go, Brandon" of vaccine hysteria

e: for anyone who doesn't read the epstein thread, PMJ is alluding to the idea presented there (by PMJ, only) that vaccines are causing lots of heart attacks in young people which is somehow being covered up and this is by design because it's a population control device. Just to make it real clear what we're talking about here!

i hope all the aspiring foragers out there pivot from hunting deer to eating a more readily available treat -- trees!

this is a pro-tip Finns and indigenous cultures already know, but eating tree nuts is for little baby chumps. the tasty inner bark is where serious players feast on starches and delicious vitamin C.

now i know what you're going to say, "hey buddy aren't all the trees dying?" and i'd reply, "gently caress you friend, pretty much, but garbage trees like poplar (cottonwood) seem to be thriving and they are uh nominally edible," and then we'd both sit down together for a warm bowl of frankly disgusting poplar tree mush garnished with rose-hips and rabbit poops.

Mostly everyone here is precisely the demographic for this highly sophisticated (in terms of propaganda/ consent making) program. There is a prophylactic, a simple acknowledgment of ruling class barbarism. But if Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Palestine don't strike fear in your heart I can't help you. You think your Whiteness will protect you, you are mistaken.

Alaska's all time high is 100F.

This poo poo happens all the loving time. I swear I've had to tell people "no, this temperature is actually a record by a pretty wide margin" or "no, we only hit this temperature like once every few years and never for several days at a time" multiple times over the last two years. And then I always get some variation of "well, I don't know" after and it's like what's even the point, you all are going to watch the sun light trees on fire in November and decide it's always been that way.

I can't even tell how much is normalization and how much is cope.

personally, i think that insect's rise to "intelligence" and "sapience" will be relatively quick, but long lived. i have nothing to base that off of, but there's so much insect to roll the evolutionary dice that something long staying will bound to be picked up and maybe just maybe a hive minded sapient insect kind will rise up and just skip the cancer/capitalism altogether

Insects oxygenate their blood using organs that don't work at the scale required to provide enough oxygen to a larger brain.

Because of this at best insects will develop the intelligence of a succlib centrist.

It's what's for dinner.

quote:

Under the Glasgow climate pact:

* Countries were asked to republish their climate action plans by the end of next year, with more ambitious emissions reduction targets for 2030

* There is an emphasis on the need for developed countries to increase the money they give to those already suffering the effects of climate change - beyond the current $100bn annual target

* The language about coal has been included for the first time ever in a global climate deal

* A pledge in a previous draft to "phase out" coal was instead watered down to a commitment to "phase down" coal

Why would we "phase out" coal when China's not even attending the meeting, Jack? What, are we going to just let them or the USSR take over our prominence on the world stage? I wonder if they'll let me have the banana pudding with the Cool Whip or if they'll make me have it with Cool Whip instead.

Natural gas can easily be more damaging to the climate than coal depending on how it is extracted. I wonder why there isn't a global agreement to end methane fracking?

Yeah, humidity is nothing to gently caress around with. When it's both hot and humid here you can feel like you're swimming through the air, you sweat the second you go outside and even breathing is more difficult. A dry heat and a wet heat are drastically different

Rhetorical question I guess, but yeah: Rich countries use more oil and gas, poor countries use more coal. Since poor countries have less leverage, the agreement landed on phasing out coal. India's mix is 70% the latter, so they objected and became a useful bad guy/scapegoat for the media.

The US specifically the issue because our move from coal to natural gas has at least been heavily supplied through domestic fracking and has claimed this as carbon reduction as a large of the Paris accords (since NG does give off less Co2 than coal).

In reality, US fracking is specifically notorious for methane admissions, enough that the expansion of fracking in the mid-2010s under Obama lines up on a yearly basis with the global rise of methane emissions. This is obviously a massive issue because of how much of an effect methane has on climate change (up to 40-80x that of CO2). It is also why developing countries like India (China to a lesser extent because they are moving away from coal fairly quickly) are loath to give up their access to affordable electricity while the US keeps on spewing methane into the atmosphere. It is also why we are absolutely doomed if the US fracking industry just keeps on doing its thing.

(China is making a huge push toward nuclear power, while India knows they are going to at least need coal for another few decades because they simply don't have the capital yet for a comparable push. That said, India has made a huge push in solar/wind.)
