I swear someone in this thread was talking about vacuum sealing bags of unroasted coffee beans for long term storage? My reading is that even with a freezer you're looking at something that gets a lot shittier within a year or two, and the idea that long term deep freeze will be viable once coffee production is not strikes me as odd. I am just enjoying all the coffee I can right now, expect to have bigger worries than CAN'T GET MAH SPEED BEANS in a world where I can't get mah speed beans. Flunky posted:great news! This (birdsite) thread is predicated on poo poo popping off with a ton of mostly white people dying in nuclear fire, so that does seem like something this thread would generally support?

Cup Runneth Over posted:honestly i don't think there's even anything specifically wrong with the billionaires as human beings. the hoarding, number obsession thing is deeply human; look at MMO players, people climbing comp shooter ladders, playing EVE. this is just what happens when humans accrue that kind of power and make decisions with these kinds of stakes without being mentally inoculated against those natural psychological impulses. that's why I've said and maintain that the Great Filter is capitalism. put any random person through the process of accruing a whole shitload of money and they will also turn into a psychopath; I mean, look at any leftist podcaster/streamer that hit it big for an example. I gotta say this attempt at empathy seems more morally questionable than you might've intended even if there is some truth to it. Structural position shapes and enables these tendencies but doesn't determine what actions are ultimately taken -- the evidence overwhelmingly supports that the ruling class goes well beyond merely benefiting from exploitation to act with excessive criminal impunity in all manner of arenas public and private. There are also a few who simply do not do this of course, or try to do at least a modest amount of good in addition to being monsters in other ways.

The first go to is radio eco shock, drilled is a good one for the non-scientific aspects (one season focuses on how denialism came to be, another focuses on how it's affecting the livelihood of fishermen and whales, etc) Those are the only good ones I know of, there are others tho,q the creator of drilled has a current climate events podcast but it's on the pod save America guys company so  , the NYT had a hopium one

There are also a few who simply do not do this of course, or try to do at least a modest amount of good in addition to being monsters in other ways. there is no need to have empathy for the capitalists, nor do I think the post is an attempt at it. Capital necessarily produces many more potential capitalists than it has niches for, and every one gets both chances to proceed or exit their path along the way. to become what Capital needs, you have to want it and work hard at it. every billionaire was once a normal person who would hesitate to act with excessive criminal impunity, and every one who eventually become a billionaire worked hard to extinct that hesitation. once they cross some as yet undetermined critical threshold, the process becomes irreversible.

Yeah, it's funny how the "just far enough into the future so I don't need to care too much" narrative keeps holding despite rapidly accelerating evidence of imminent collapse.

All but this here now was the purest ambivalence. Nothing but this same life lived differently, or else this different life lived just the same. Such a dreary loving cataclysm; this end-of-the-world which, after all, did not end.
