I am asking you what things you define as "making a difference" and how you personally are coping with the negative connotations of unstoppable global biosphere collapse

"you're posting wrong" is always a good take, and leads to interesting discussions and positive change

Rectal Death Adept posted:I am asking you what things you define as "making a difference" and how you personally are coping with the negative connotations of unstoppable global biosphere collapse I think any volunteer opportunity where you spend time with vulnerable kids is a good way to make a difference (in general). There are a lot of youth and drop-in centers that need people to show up and spend time playing games, reading, etc., with kids from lovely home environments. Lots of communities need people to mentor or chaperone trips for kids to get out of the city and interact with nature, and I've heard a lot of really good things about the positive outcomes of those programs (especially for kids living in poverty). However you can manage to stay mindful and in the moment when you're doing things you enjoy is effective coping. I spend a lot of time (you guessed it) volunteering with kids, and seeing the difference it makes for them makes me happier about the awful world they're inheriting. e: here's a good post from someone else about this: AnimeIsTrash posted:Your life should be full of love and enjoyment, and what you seek to bring into other people's lives. You gotta figure out what you have control over, and what is outside you control and focus on that.

There's a bit in DS2, no spoilers, where Dr. Strange goes to a multiverse where Manhattan has streams between its sidewalks instead of cars, and he tells one of its residents that the place he comes from is beautiful

I'm sorry  . I'm also a special ed teacher, so I really prioritize and value supporting kids who need support. Things are pretty messed up, but it doesn't mean you can't find something out there that helps out and makes you feel better. Do your best!

NeatHeteroDude posted:Also, look at Rime's posting! rimes posting owns tho, you have ot contextualize his post with the knowledge he lives in a van 365 days a yearputting up windmills for years on end, while forest are burning down around him and every single windmill is broken when hes finished. also those windmills are also going to fall down in 10 years

NeatHeteroDude posted:I mean, cognitive behavioral therapy is a modality designed around refuting doomer behaviors and thought patterns. It's not really surprising that thinking/talking about how the world is going to end affects your mental health. Also, look at Rime's posting! Unfortunately this is kind of incorrect because CBT targets thought processes that are exaggerated or inaccurate or overly pessimistic, out of line with reality. Not sure if that really applies to doomed-ism as it is fairly reality based. Def some people go to far but ymmv basically

What with wind, street noise, fan from the pub kitchen, and my climate-news-follower whiskey and edibles, I was unaware of my surroundings as I phone posted on SA while having a cig outside my apartment. The leaves suddenly sounded different... I heard a faint snuffling. I looked up, momentarily blinded from my phone. Where's the sidewalk? An adult black bear was at my feet. Directly in front of me, next to me. My "whoah poo poo" sent it off like a cannonball as fast as I could dive back inside. I now remember hearing something in the woods a few nights back and standing at the woodline yelling for it to identify itself (climate-news-follower demands nightly treatment), now I feel guilty for reacting fearfully to the peaceful yet powerful response. Still, bears and humans shouldn't get too comfortable. It's name is Stinkford btw as I reckon its the bear I've watched pillaging the dumpster. Oh, yesterday as we ate lunch at work a fox walked up to us on the stone wall in the center of town where we feasted. 30' away it came, sat and posed at us. We feared it was rabid until it hopped after some ground birds in a thicket, doing showy fox jumps. Feeling guilty again for being able to live such a fine life adjacent to nature, knowing what it will cost, and that it will hurt the least complicit most of all (native populations and impoverished masses in addition to the beautiful natural world). At least Stinkford doesn't know. I'm in no state to be tactful but my sincerest hugs and strength to parent climate goons. Stay strong for your budding planeteers.

The Demilich posted:I'm not mainlining 2200 posts thread, I think it will kill me. there was a long bit about having children now and how selfish you have to be to have them now. some argued against that, kinda, but everyone agreed it’s lmao for the kids in 20 years. then Rime posted a pretty standard dark joke, and a mod who probably has kids decided to ban Rime because he either can’t read, has been waiting to for a while and wanted an excuse to. he hid like a coward for a day in the Glenn thread, I called him out, (and dragged some of them here, my bad) he came back and blamed it on rime being a racist poster, even though his reason for banning him was for a joke about nuking the USA to give the rest of the world a fighting chance, which he mis read, tried to bring it back to be about Rime racism posts in the past, somewhat was able to deflect. the Glenn thread is very smug we’re the crazy ones who don’t do anything and are defending a racist because we’re actually very standard d&d liberals while not posting about anything? oh and posting cat pictures and telling usually one or two person per page to shut the gently caress up. (even saw a classic maybe if they did something instead of posting they could actually help fix things.) type post. LionArcher has issued a correction as of 05:48 on May 8, 2022 |

99% of punishment drama would be streamlined if loser mods didn't push their glasses up and be like "sir you can't say we love white genocide on cspam" as 40000 posters say "i love white genocide" right after do you do proving you a loser and worthless. and instead said "i wanna do this, i think u stink sir." and we'd clap and say thank you.

Azathoth posted:here's my official position: i appreciate that folks like the posts he makes that aren't racist or ecofash, but rime got a heavier probe and ban than most anyone would because when you've got multiple probes and bans for being a racist ecofash and i don't like having racist ecofash running around. you're a stupid shithead and Rime did nothing wrong Azathoth posted:he's not my enemy and your second assertion is patently incorrect. i saw the post because of a report and the many others we get concerning Rime, looked over Rime's rapsheet and made the call based on that. if you're unfamiliar with Rime's rapsheet why the gently caress are you moderating this thread lol. he's been posting in the climate change threads for years and we all know about his history and he's said repeatedly he's moved on from it and no longer holds those positions (in the same loving post you banned him for even). if he's ecofash every one of us is ecofash and you should ban us all, all of us agree with him Cup Runneth Over has issued a correction as of 05:56 on May 8, 2022 |

Azathoth posted:I like Rime's posts in the UFO thread and have no personal animosity towards him, but one thing that we are challenged to do as mods is not act like robots and consider context. And, for the record, I don't consider whether something is probeable or bannable in D&D when choosing what to do, but I do take their posts in D&D (and anywhere else for that matter) into account. The rapsheet just happens to provide a quick index of particularly bad ones. like you're digging up posts from 2015 that he's repented for repeatedly to peg him for, it's pathetic. his posts outside of this thread are bad, yes, and he deserved his last ban, but he literally didn't even do what you said he did this time. just admit you misread his post and stop trying to save face

Cup Runneth Over posted:you're a stupid shithead and Rime did nothing wrong Rime posted:Maybe one day westerners will wake up and realize you cannot negotiate with China in good faith, you cannot "democratize" it by being nice to it, and that our downfall is going to stem from failing to firewall it like North Korea when we had the chance - before a Chinese-American scientist defected to build their nuclear program. The past century has demonstrated succinctly that the singular goal in that nation is the global domination of the Han cultural identity by any means necessary. Forced conversion, genocide, slavery, theft, kidnapping, extortion, distribution of lethal drugs - they have no limits and we do not share an ethical or moral philosophy on which to build an equal diplomatic relationship. Rime posted:Posters in thread concerning the end of all life on earth complain that there is too much negativity surrounding the end of all life on earth. imagine your biggest fear in climate disaster being JDPON lol
