remembering the line in First Reformed where the guy says we'll start having global crop failures by 2025 lol First Reformed posted:The bad times they will begin, and from that point everything moves very quickly. You know, this social structure can't bear the stress of multiple crises. Opportunistic diseases, anarchy, martial law, the tipping point. And this isn't in some like distant future. You will live to see this.

Has anyone read Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson? Been wanting more climate fiction after The Ministry for the Future. I have like 5k posts unread because I'm depressed about the climate so maybe this was already discussed. Any other recommendations are welcomed though.

silicone thrills posted:Pls kill meeeee This is my 4/7 on the dementia scale father in law. The natural gas furnace is constantly cranked to 30o C but God help help you if you leave a light on in an unused hall. I am quite convinced now that low level dementia is the ground state for a lot of us "normal" humans. I haven't confirmed this but it sounds like some municipalities in the Fraser Valley require a two car garage for each unit in multifamily condo developments. If you only need one car because your municipality actually has usable mass transit and frame in the back of the garage for additional room you will be required to tear it out if future modifications require city approval.

i say swears online posted:lmao my roommate gets mad at light bulbs left on but god help you if you touch his wintertime heat at 71 so he can wear shorts My Dad's like this but to the point where he gets very angry if you're in a room and have more than 1 light bulb on. I offered to pay for a year of lightbulb in cash on the spot and he didn't take it well. Also he's purposefully misconfigured his furnace in an extremely dangerous and wasteful way because it "saves money" to put extreme amounts of heat through some ducts and nothing through others. Because of this the heat doesn't get evenly distributed and some rooms' ducts are so hot they can catch plastic on fire. If it gets cold enough outside the furnace has to run continually at all times until it overheats and the thermal security breaker cuts power. He knows exactly why this happens and somehow also insists that modern furnaces need "rebooted" cause they're junk. HVAC pros have told him not to do this. He's relying on a security feature for normal operation. If that part fails the furnace will burn the house down trying to keep it at the designated temperature. When he "reboots" it he's just clearing the fault state and not even waiting for it to return to safe temp. There's no insulation in the house because installing it could damage the vinyl siding.

yeah probably whatever i'm pretty checked out tbh. Pretty sure my parents aren't interfacing with the same reality as the rest of us. I was like "dad the hvac guy said everything will work fine if you just make sure to keep all the vents open all the time. These new furnaces are not like the one we used to have when you guys first got the house." "I don't believe it." uh, alright ok? where do you go from that? I've tried to talk about it a few times and he believes that now adays you just need to buy a new furnace system every ten years cause it's something he saw on a commercial. They do this poo poo about everything and they act like it's 1980 still. Absolute lead brain plastic soul lifeforms. He'll not only be less comfortable, but he'll pay more money, and risk losing everything he has, just to be correct about one stupid thing. It's extremely upsetting and they've done other poo poo that's straight up dangerous, and still refuse to believe anything, so i just checked out.

i say swears online posted:it's so nice to change to a new LED and think "i will literally never touch that area of my house again" I've had two fail in my life so far. It's such a weird occurrence. One of them started emmiting a high-pitched whine. It was also located by the fridge, so my initial thought was that the compressor on the fridge was failing. It only took a couple days before I realized that turning the light off caused it to stop

Basically air conditioning except instead of dumping the heat into atmosphere it stores it underground until you need it again.

As one they adamantly refuse to allow effective changes to be made to their homes and run their property into the ground, possibly killing themselves in the future. As a collective, they do the same, but to the nation. What is to be done?

idk in more helpful terms i guess my parents have some kind of authority complex. everything is zero sum. everything. there's a rigid ontology. I can't be right about the furnace because as the Child, I am lower than the Parent and this is enough to just be wrong in and of itself. Only a recognized authority in the matter can be correct. The problem is each part of this system reinforces the others. If there's only so much to go around there have to be winners and losers which means there has to be a strict hierarchy or else the whole thing would be a free for all. If there's a hierarchy you can't have people swapping between rungs and left and right between categories. You can't have trans people for example, this weakens the hierarchy if people can swap categories. Everything has to be essentialized and cemented into place or the hierarchy will be threatened and this can't be allowed because then your personal place in the chain of being will be threatened and this isn't tolerable because there's only so much to go around. There's only so much respect or money or food or love and everything is zero sum and losing position means losing all those things. There's any number of entry points into this worldview and once you go in it locks you in by mutually reinforcing other damaging beliefs.
