I was staring at the people standing and sitting in groups around the room and talking and it hit me how made-up it all was. That the rigor of white collar office work, the bureaucracy and structure, is 90% roleplaying, and how fake the work personas of everyone involved were versus what they were actually like as people. We were all literally following instructions out of a manual like a D&D campaign, but for office work.

BITCH WE GOT REAL PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW quote:And last week, Lake Powell dipped below the critical threshold of 3,525 feet above sea level, sparking additional concerns about water supply and hydropower generation millions of people in the West rely on for electricity. lol when that baby drops below 3490 feet it can't generate power anymore for 5 million people. https://www.azcentral.com/story/new...ens/5836991001/ silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 07:01 on Mar 22, 2022 |

Do not sleep on this:The Extinctionati Manifesto posted:... Net negative emissions are a lot more difficult to achieve than many imagine. An op-ed in The Economist entitled "Can we remove enough CO2 from the atmosphere to get back to safe levels?" says: "To continue reading this article, sign up here for a reasonable monthly fee and get 50% off on special offers!" ...

all the serious people who might have once been trying to save the reefs are completely resigned to the plain unavoidable fact that they will all inevitably die. the only people left are opportunistic grifters who have no intention of saving reefs nor do they have the expertise to do so if they tried.
