everybody has these reasons for arguing with me like "i live in the middle of a city and it would be illegal to plant it on any dirt within ten miles". so plant it secretly in a park! do i have to figure everything out for you people

Complications: Jun 19, 2014

In the vein of optimist future star trek: there will be six months of aerosol dispersal, followed by a declaration of victory as the northern hemisphere goes into winter and a discontinuation of all efforts and a campaign of gaslighting that climate change is over. Then ~~space will collapse~~ summer returns as the acid pulse in the oceans murders exoskeletal life.

Thanks for reminding me that antibiotic resistance is one of the many horsemen of today's modern apocalypse. With climate change and plastic all around us it's easy to forget the little things

Camus� �The Plague�.

quote:

The really remarkable thing, and Rambert was greatly struck by this, was the way in which, in the very midst of catastrophe, offices could go on functioning serenely and take initiatives of no immediate relevance, and often unknown to the highest authority, purely and simply because they had been created originally for this purpose.

...

quote:

Without memories, without hope, they lived for the moment only. Indeed, the here and now had come to mean everything to them. For there is no denying that the plague had gradually killed off in all of us the faculty not of love only but even friendship. Naturally enough, since love asks something of the future, and nothing was left us but a series of present moments.

Dog carcass in passing lane this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This traffic is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of wreckage and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will crash. The accumulated filth of all their brake checking and tailgating will foam up about their waists and all the speeders and slow drivers will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

Is this from the newly leaked first Godspeed album?

The technical manual was published two years before that episode. The speed limit comes up again a few times, with the Federation authorizing higher speeds for some missions, but is ignored after that. And Voyager has the moving nacelles to solve the problem.

The "warp core software update" isn't cannon, this is the first time I'm hearing about it.

like holy poo poo, i was venting a little bit

i didn't say that i actually ever passed someone on the shoulder, but reading what i actually typed really is pretty hard!!!

also i don't listen to music when i drive--that poo poo's loving dangerous

driving isn't a game

you only live once

i didn't think that the thread about laughing about literal millions and possibly billions of humans dying from climate change would draw the line at "hey, don't drive fast" as if anything on this stupid loving planet matters :words:

and i didn't think this would go on for so many pages but really gently caress slow drivers especially the ones that intentionally slow down other traffic and i'm not sorry for anything i said

Every purchase for either need or pleasure, every item shipped, every morsel of food and every evening spent in warmth and comfort are only serving to hasten the end of all this. I can't take up new hobbies, or get that cool 3d printer, or buy new computers, or drive 10 minutes down the road to my local trail system without feeling immense guilt. The contrast between what is my moral duty and what I'm actually doing is absolutely debilitating.

I've always liked the idea of possessionless monks. A life of quiet, still introspection rather than distraction. Though, the older I get the less I can handle anything religious.

yes, guerilla greening does result in council-induced plant murder that can be pretty crushing. but as you plant more secret trees, you get better at spotting the kind of unkempt urban undergrowth where they're likely to survive and flourish

when trains first came around people were afraid that simply moving too fast would cause damage to human bodies

we can safely dismiss the idea as old-timey weirdness but what has since become abundantly clear is that moving fast in cars
irrevocably damages human brains and driving one should be restricted to necessary professions that receive generous hazard pay
and regular monitoring of mental well-being

No the thread is having an on-going meltdown about individual responsibility again, insisting that the problem is one driver instead of the entire automobile-industrial complex. In much the same way as people keep hassling me to stop dumping my frying oil in the local stream when we all know big corporates are the real problem.
