Especially since, you know, it's obvious that as a species we're all trapped in the gas chamber regardless of race color or creed and if you are posting on these forums it is overwhelmingly your lifestyle which put us there and welded the door shut over the past three decades. I hope your comfortable convenience, sitting atop a pyramid of consumer production built upon a foundation of incomprehensible suffering and slavery in the developing world, was worth the death of all life on earth.

in a daydream, I have invented swabs like lead tests, but for plastic i proceed to paint the world red i am momentarily surprised when even the bark of the trees turn red. then i realize the air itself is red as it passes over the swab, and i am consumed by a red mist of plastic detection nomad2020 posted:as the bread and circuses get wound down, the two things that will (should, looking at history) increase is loving and drugs. this may be balanced out by an increased childhood mortality as the healthcare apparatus is wound down.  also hey while I'm doing pictorials look at this bearing I spent $200 to replace (vs like $75?? two years ago?). Because it's still a good structural hinge and we do weird art poo poo this is getting the rough parts ground off and then it will sit in a box until we're doing something where we need a large weight-bearing thing (though, not that weight bearing, as this was squeaking and on the edge of probably sending the wheel into the ditch). Anyway there's one bearing and I bet my little town of 1200 went through at least 120 of these things this year, it's a huge hunk of metal and if you don't ask your mechanic to let you keep all the busted poo poo and deal with the weird looks that entails, at best it probably gets melted in some lossy and dirty process?  gently caress! I hate cars. I am trying to sell my motorcycle. It's an objectively cleaner way to get a lot of the places I need to get, but I also think if I don't stop before I am badly hurt that's how it will end.

T-Paine posted:This is happening to a lot of people, it's a big part of their decision not have kids (google it, along with therapists starting to specialize in climate anxiety there's a ton of articles about people hesitating to have kids over climate concerns). Of course it doesn't apply to incels or eunuchs or whatever. So what? because claiming avoided emissions that aren't actually avoided is the best way to pretend to be doing something about climate while actually doing nothing. like a coal company that claims they avoided emissions by not mining coal that is too expensive to mine, that doesn't actually reduce emissions from the coal company at all even if someone said "climate" at the board meeting. T-Paine posted:C...cool? just kinda silly to use an estimate of the carbon impact of children that includes living 70+ years at an American standard of living and current levels of consumption while also arguing it is too cruel to have kids because they're doomed to starve to death before they turn 21.

I don't really care about carbon footprints.

the rubber seal on our washing machine has started falling to bits and now it's pissing water all over the floor when we do a wash getting it repaired costs fully half of the cost of what we paid for the machine originally and now I'm torn over whether it's worth it or if I should just buy a new machine it's 18 months old, lol. love my disposable white goods. capitalism really is the most efficient way to engineer a machine that will just barely outlive its warranty

My 2018 TV just stopped working last summer. Google led me to where I could buy a box of replacement circuit boards for $100. I bought the circuit boards, popped the back off, replaced the power supply, and put it back together, and BOOM, TV works again. Now not only do I have backups of the other board, I also have the old power supply's part number if I need another one. When I told my mom about it, she asked why I didn't just buy a new TV. I'd much rather spend $100 to find out I need a new TV, than spend $1200 on a new TV that could have been fixed for $100. EDIT: But yeah, a rubber gasket, is probably pretty loving easy to replace on a washing machine.

He replaced the power supply for like a fifty bucks and I think he's still using it. I haven't bought a monitor in years, jobs keep sending them to me. I am currently looking at a widescreen 32" with a vertical 27" next to it, another 27" on the wall showing the IP cams, and there's another computer behind me with 2x27s. These are all fairly nice or better, and I paid for one of them. I didn't even requisition most of the others, they just got mailed to me at some point Because Capitalism?

Well you'd have to eat someone else's child. But really you want to sequester the child's carbon which eating doesn't really do.

humans themselves are mostly atmospheric carbon, even with our current levels of enplasticing, so allowing that carbon to get released isn’t on the same scale of bad as anything that releases carbon from fossil sources
