Ruggan posted:Yeah it’s sort of ironic that we as humans in our generation are pretty much powerless to stop this, it was always sort of meant to be this way. For all the free will and power we claim to wield, we as individuals are unable to keep history from advancing the way it has and will continue to do, and we as a species are unwilling to undermine our drive toward maximal reproduction and resource consumption. It’s just the natural path for us as humankind to take given our environment. well, historically, you might be able to make a meaningful difference in the world, if you were willing to kill a whole lot of people and didn't get killed doing it

T-Paine posted:https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1495095875336613889 Uh, that's a feature, not a bug. In the Alberta (and probably B.C.) system the wells are owned by numbered companies with the real owners hidden under more layers than a Vancouver casino money laundering operation. When it ceases producing the only assets held by the "owners" are the wellhead itself and an abandoned office rented in a Calgary basement. The tanker industry uses a similar model. Most of the time a tankship is owned by a numbered company holding at most one or two other tankers. In case of a serious incident there are no assets to seize other than the wreck itself. It gets really bizarre when you get in to how a voyage is a joint venture by three companies - the vessel owner, the cargo owner, and the company managing the voyage and trying to squeeze the crew for an extra 50 cents per day each for less/cheaper food. The classification agencies that certify these vessels' seaworthiness are for profit ventures paid by the vessel owners and compete with each other. I'm sure this is a flawless system that maintains the highest standards. There will never be another Exxon Valdes. There are currently between 1,200 and 1,500 ships carrying product for Exxon, but only 5 in Exxon's actual fleet. Capitalism means never having to say you're sorry.

Rime posted:I extremely recommend reading David Graebers The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, if thread wants a glimpse of how avoidable this all was and how much of our everyday life relies on structural lies and social indoctrination. The book is CSPAM as gently caress and easily the magnum opus of revisionist Anthropology for the 21st century. Seconding this; it's a really good read

TACD posted:it says “reconstructed” right there in the title. they don’t show the natural ice levels because that wouldn’t support the woke agenda!!  As you can see by this graph we aren't even a blip on the scale of past ice melts an re-glaciations. You doomers are acting like ice won't be back in a million years or that the baseline climate conditions from 100,000,000 BC coming back on top of our emissions is a bad thing. They already happened in 100,000,000 BC and earth is still here idiots.

It's a good thing all of the dumbass Climate Legislation and most types of Activism are all based entirely on those graphs claiming 1.5c by 2050 or whatever.

Why homo sapiens had to be an evolutionary dead end, which destroys the species and most/all other species sharing the same biosphere with it? Yes I know the answer. Just lamenting the fact...

Lordshmee posted:I have reached a conclusion that has been building within me for quite a long while. that Extinction Matrix website sealed the deal for me. we’re not monsters, or some kind of aberration bucking “natural law”, as I’ve been thinking for a long time. No, we’re just like every other lifeform on this planet, in this universe. Driven by eons of of the only directive that ever was: reproduce. maximize reproduction, at whatever means at your disposal. The cosmic joke is that we managed to evolve to be too good at it. we’re so good at maximizing production and reproduction that we’re destroying our environment, and our biological imperative is so strong that we can’t stop doing it. even those of us - the majority at this point - who understand our systems lead to inevitable doom - can’t stop us as a whole from doing it anyway. we really are an evolutionary failure, by definition.

Tekne posted:in the latest ffxiv expansion (big/cosmic spoilers), the ancient antagonist is revealed to be thousands of empathic familiars linked by a hivemind who were sent out into space to meet other cultures only to discover countless dead worlds ruined by their now extinct civilizations and a few actively in the process of collapse and extinction. they unintentionally absorb the trauma of these innumerable peoples to become the literal manifestation of universal despair and nihilism who then embarked on a mission to end what life remains and prevent further beings from coming into existence to spare them suffering Almost like we've howled for our own extinction ever since we realized what combining car and war does.
