I'm in my third decade. This used to be pretty rare! I never went to war as an adolescent or pre-adolescent. I have never witnessed firsthand the ravages of war on my loved ones, nor the effects of starvation, illness, disease, and rot. I mean, I've had to work a lot, and that sucks, but in terms relative to the vast majority of human experience and history, I've lived a tremendously fortunate and long life. Literally so rude to whine about that.

Microplastics posted:Someone with a better grasp of statistics than me can probably do it justice but I like to imagine it as a coin being flipped every day - you know from past data that it could turn up Heads or Tails, and a long string of Tails could technically happen by chance and you can calculate that chance, and every subsequent day it comes up Tails that chance persists but gets smaller, and the smaller it gets the more likely the explanation that the coin is being manipulated somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_TfdNAXOwE

seems to me that all we have to do is wait for the demand for unburnt timber to outweigh the demand for burnt timber and the free market will find a solution to the wildfire problem

MightyBigMinus posted:oh look as you turn into a middle aged man your opinion is that the kids should complain less they have it good Literally so rude for me to personally whine about that, in my opinion. The kids, first of all, are not my age. Second of all they and anyone my age or older is more than free to complain and whine as much as they want- that's none of my business. I literally complain all the time but what I refuse to complain about is the longevity of my life or its foreshorterning. Because I know personally way, way too many people who didn't get to grow as old as I have, and because there has seldom been people who got to grow as old as I have. MBM I've never had anyone more dedicated to reading my posts in bad faith than you, and for that I am strangely grateful, you seething lib.

this weekend at the marina I was discussing some of the boats there with my uncle. there was this one yacht from chicago with a bunch of very obviously visibly-rich people on it. my uncle mentioned it burned 135 gallons of fuel a hour while operating the whole trip cost me about 3.5 gallons of fuel, so one single hour of operation on that yacht is the equivalent of 38 weekends of me driving up to my family's cottage, around the region a bit, and then back it wasn't even a notably big yacht, it's the kind of stuff you'd finance if you were a modest multimillionaire in your 50s and wanted to haul around your blueblood extended family. there were probably half a dozen of that class at that particular marina reduce! reuse! recycle!

It's a doublewide on about a couple acres of land that's been in the family for a few generations now but if you really want to get into inverse privilege dickwaving we can do that. I did some napkin math and taking that yacht up from Chicago to the port there yesterday would've ran about 1500 gallons of fuel (one way). It would take me years to burn that much fuel just from driving around. Just mindboggling how the scale of consumption shoots up onto an exponential curve like that.

There's about 7 million millionaires in the USA. Let's say 1 in 40 have yachts of moderate size. That's 175,000 American yachts alone, all burning 100+ gallons/hour. Lol

Lol That can't be true. If there are millions of millionaires, how come I don't personally know any billionaires? There must be billions of them for that logic to check out. Everything is so wrong and dumb and bad.
