Oddly enough i've met a whole bunch of goons. Actually helped 2 of them get jobs, had another 1 stay at my house while they were interviewing for a job locally. Like 3-4 others just through random events. Worked with a few goons. Seattle's goony af. Out of all the goons i've met IRL only 1 goon ended up being a huge jerk and another goon had some kind of questionable relationship poo poo but nothing I could verify so I just kinda backed away from hangin. I tried to go to a meet up once but I couldn't figure out who the gently caress the goons were at the restaurant so I just ended up doing karaoke by myself and had fun anyway. I have an uncanny ability to get along with just about anyone despite being insanely introverted. I feel like this will help me in the collapse because I'm a big believer in good fences make good neighbors but if you need help with something, im there.

Fly Molo posted:this. no AC, no refrigeration, no communications? things will escalate pretty quickly if that happens no economic output at all really. service sector businesses require power to operate in basically any capacity and we've shifted basically our entire economy into the service sector. even arguably productive industries are going to incur massive unrecoverable losses if they have to internalize widespread electricity service disruptions. we're also absolutely going to prioritize power to the most unproductive parts of society, rich people's homes and the air-conditioning in their fancy office buildings, over things that are actually important, like refrigeration for poorer neighborhood food stores. a month of rolling blackouts and you're going to have riots and the complete collapse of any sort of society we recognize.

Breast feed or die! A Bakers Cousin posted:I looked at this for like 30 seconds going man thats a weird map of Texas before I started laughing Same, then I wondered why it was Saskatchewan and not Alberta since they're the ones who want to secede and join the U.S. as Texas North. Same funny hats, different weird accents. I assume the drought is screwing up SaskPower's 20% hydroelectric. I thought they could just turn up the coal plants now because they have some sort of CCS scheme going. Maybe it doesn't actually do anything except shuffle money from one pouch to another?

I get it, I get it. Shame, and the baggage of complicity, can be a part of understanding. But I still hold out my final crack/ping that that understanding is a part of whatever is more true than our present status quo. Hardcore will never die, but we will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35g7cZEW9Aw

Trabisnikof posted:Finally scientific proof that reading this thread doesn’t have long term negative impacts: Somebody explain to me how this isn't a "wrap it up for humanity" level revelation (well, confirmation of what was already obvious) Combine it with this: https://abcnews.go.com/US/78-adults-us-report-affected-severe-weather-caused/story?id=85496195 People in general are susceptible to propaganda until they're personally harmed by something, at which point they're only more likely to "believe in" it. But by the time cc impacts our lives, it will be too late to do anything about it. Touche, capitalism. You knew how weak and stupid the human race is and won because of it

Undecided Moderate posted:Im curious how many of you home farmers use fertilizer I don't use any that i don't make myself at least. With composting, seaweed, chicken poo poo, and nettles the garden does fine, and i haven't had any problems. It's a very unscientific process for sure, but it seems to work. Lucky to have an abundance of organic material of all sorts about where i live, and the problem really has been there's been way too much too handle with only manual tools.

But I use a mix of self made compost and some organic poo poo.  In all seriousness I don't use anything on this poo poo I won't use on food crops because the runoff here all goes into food crop areas. And yes, the tomatoes that were directly downhill from the pot were the thickest tomato plants I've ever grown, shocking. Cabbages and VHS has issued a correction as of 15:06 on Jun 23, 2022 |
