I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

loving oof. But not likely wrong!

The fact that minorities are in every likelihood more likely to be disproportionately hurt by climate change almost certainly is a huge part of why the right wing's been jerking off to it

should we agree on a HAM radio frequency now to keep this thread going for as long as possible once the broader internet ceases to function?

does Jeffrey of YOSPOS have enough money to put a fleet of goon-repeater satellites into orbit, and issue all pre-2010-reg-date posts a free orbital receiver/transmitter? (Post-2010s welcome to but on a sliding price scale based on reg date).

ive had the amateur radio thread bookmarked forever. i haven't opened it in a long time tho. maybe we should designate frequencies for the various threads in cspam. i think 66.6 would suit this thread better, but only so the gay thread can have 420.69.

I’m around two family members who are teens and they are stressing about college and what schools they’re going to and their parents are very worried about grades. it takes a lot for me to not go, “don’t worry about it. like at all. enjoy being upper middle class and being 16 and 14 while you can.”

good details I haven't seen before about how hosed the southern ocean is. in short there is a lot of CO2 coming up from old organic matter all around Antarctica. This is surprising as until recently they used to think this ocean absorbed CO2

You sort of, kinda, in a weird roundabout way, have to admire just how thoroughly we're hosed.
Every stupid, shortsighted, greedy decision we've ever made is now doubling back and ramming itself up our collective asses at the same time.

we could actually be polluting more but only by a bit - every industrialized country could look like India's bad days if we tried

that said the difference would be fractional, we're already burning everything we economically can

but we've based all of our infrastructure and invested centuries of productivity into making GBS threads all over the planet and boy howdy are we reaping dividends now

pretty much everything with nature has consequences, at least anytime any sort of equilibrium is disrupted

you dump all your piss n poo into a lake, oops now you all die of cholera.
you cut down all the forests, oops now animals disapear and you have nothing to eat and the land becomes barren and creates dust storms and landslides destroy your town
you create mega-ag meat factories, oops now they all die of being crammed in unsafe unsanitary conditions breeding super viruses
you pump antibiotics into animals and humans to stop them from dying to maximize profit, oops you bred super turbo resistant viruses that also infect people
you plant mono-cultural agriculture, oops all the topsoil has been killed off and nothing grows there anymore
you introduce zillion barrels of 100+ million years of sequestered carbon into a closed loop system, oops now the equilibrium is thrown way off and the planet is burning down and nothing is reliable anymore
you dump gigatons of endocrine disrupting chemicals/polymers into the ecosystem, oops now all humans and animals are obese, have cancer, and can't reproduce

I'm struck in retrospect by how *bad* my ideal life choices back in ~1999 would have been if I'd achieved them.

B-52/B-1 bomber pilot: killing brown people for 20+ years.
Airline pilot: :rubby:
"Something on Wall Street": wouldn't have had seniority at any firm in 2008 and probably would've been let go with a near-worthless CV.

That being said, I ended up in the business of omnicide anyway so :shrug:.
