Perry Mason Jar posted:It's race realism lol It's been a long time since I read Animal Farm but I thought it was meant to be a criticism of republics by pointing out that while the monarchs had been removed, they had also been replaced by the mercantile class. The animals are not meant to represent races, but castes. Dogs are cops/military, horses and sheep are labor, pigs are big business, the human farmers were the monarchs etc etc.

Armadillo Tank posted:its 6 gigs of wasted space that does nothing to improve the game it can't fix pathing because original starcraft is still played and would just keep being played if anything actually changed. that's not true they fixed valkyries not working right but that was a bug fix like they never actually fired missiles because their stupid missile count went over whatever draw limit the game had originally so it was just an actually unusable unit. im sure there's other differences but they really did try to make the same dumb game. i got really into watching starcraft during the pandemic and also still, because the pandemic is still but mostly i like it. this is a playlist featuring two really old people talking over it it makes great background noise or also something to watch.

whenever a politician says that we have to adapt to climate change i want them to be more specific about what they mean. because they mean everyone will need to abandon their homes and flee to somewhere that is temporarily safer, until that area too becomes too hostile for humanity and they must march even further north. adapting to climate change is not just building a few solar panels and putting different windows in your house

I'd be surprised if the housing market collapses. If it goes into a buyer's market for a little while that's normal but a collapse would mean investment firms stopped buying them in cash which I don't see any reason for at least in the US

if you're looking for old white men soothsaying and getting some things eerily right, the sheep look up is far from perfect but worth reading in the same genre is rime's favourite book that he shared here once and it was the most insane abhorrent bullshit i've ever read lol. but the central premise was that the uk's first and only response to a global food catastrophe was to calmly nuke all their own cities and the citizens therein before they could riot, an insider insight into english psychology that i appreciate and respect

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/nord-stream-rupture-may-mark-biggest-single-methane-release-ever-recorded-un-2022-09-30/quote:Sept 30 (Reuters) - The ruptures on the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline system under the Baltic Sea have led to what is likely the biggest single release of climate-damaging methane ever recorded, the United Nations Environment Programme said on Friday. cool. neat. rad. I wonder how this compares to the hypothetical release of the laptev sea methane. also man i totally forgot about the gulf of mexico leak. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 06:48 on Oct 2, 2022 |

I found out that it existed and read it on a whim like 10 years ago because as a middle schooler I had liked the YA SF that the author went on to write. I'd say that it's good I didn't read The Death of Grass at that age. I didn't think any of the main characters were supposed to be sympathetic. It was a surprisingly grim and black hearted take on humanity from someone who went on to write what I remember as a bunch of hero's-journey stuff about kids fighting aliens that have taken over the world with mind control.
