Good new OP thx Rime Was thinking about Centralia PA today - the town that had to be abandoned due to a 50+ year coal fire raging under it. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/centralia-graffiti-highway-buried They finally started covering up the roads in the last few years. I feel like the whole thing is a good speed run to our climate ruin and eventually the last of us will cover up our failures if we had the strength

I started reading New York 2140 by KSR and I realized that he actually seems to legitimately think the markets can be a positive force and its very disconcerting. I'm only about 20% in tho so ill let yall know if that changes but it feels like its going that direction again.

I regularly bring up the Carrington event to other computer touchers to scare them. Then I find out who is a fellow doomer by who seems jazzed by it. It's a great way to make friends. Please let one happen in my lifetime.

Slow News Day posted:Only 1100 words, actually, and, no, it does suck that they are resuming the sale of leases! But I think the leftist disagreement comes down to "Biden should just ignore court orders and do whatever he wants, because that's what the previous guy did and he got away with it!" Do you really not understand that power is something you take? So Biden actively choosing not to use the power in front of him is absolutely loving stupid and using this as an excuse is extremely stupid? Biden literally just doesnt loving care about the future. He's on deaths door. He's always been dogshit bad at doing anything for the future. He literally was a major player in loving over students with making student loans undischargable. He's always been against desegregation. Nothing in his character makes me think he isn't just fine continuing to hurt young people and future generations. No one here has any reason to think he is doing anything to be "good" edit: God for fucks sake his own home state, Delaware, is so insanely loving polluted its wild. Delaware itself is the most at risk state for sea level rise, percentage wise, in the US. They're literally already losing land to salt water incursion and he doesn't. loving. care. silicone thrills has issued a correction as of 22:29 on Sep 18, 2021 |

Rectal Death Adept posted:Really enjoying how the Biden defenders are claiming that thinking climate change is unstoppable is fossil fuel propaganda and that we are plants acting in the defense of corporations to stop them from planting trees or whatever. lmao i saw that. It was funny to see 1 lone person try to explain that no - its just the fact that incremental change will not safe us - and everyone ignoring that person as D&D always does. Like - no I dont think everyone is going to die. But I do think that those idiots obsession to clinging onto magical technology fixing things is irresponsible and hope for something that cannot and will not be is just gross and unhealthy.

Video game vet is the only serious person in that thread and he should really migrate over here. Dude even takes cold showers to reduce his footprint. Absolute mad lad.

Complications posted:Meh, a quick death from fire or a slower one from increasing heat and drought will have the same ending. Those trees aren't surviving much longer either way. One of my favorite memories from my childhood was the first time I visited the west coast and my sister took me camping in the redwoods and I was like.. idk 14 years old but I decided right then and there I was moving to the west coast when I turned 18 and I already loved nature but it really just triggered something in me to care about all of it so much more. Seeing the big trees burn is just ripping me apart. Greenwood and The Golden Spruce are both good as hell books, just btw. edit: I've been waiting for a good time to go to Sequioa National Park but I guess i've missed it.

Mola Yam posted:there's some intangible irony or something in people only noticing that we killed all the bugs because they're no longer killing lots of bugs with their cars. A big thing I notice is how few I hear. Growing up I was always hearing crickets or cicadas or frogs - just all kinds of critters. Now it shocks me when I hear them. Like I went on a walk and heard a cricket and my partner was all "what in the world?" Earlier this year I was walking by a wetland preserve spot and heard this https://i.imgur.com/bovBxn4.mp4 It had been so long since I had really heard frogs that I had to record it. I felt incredibly happy in that moment. sad note though: gonna take a while guess that the heatwave and 3 month drought probably murdered all those frogs and their offspring.

Rime posted:I'm pretty sure I ate a probe back in 2018/19 for pointing out (fairly obviously) that the USA would have fully weaponized its southern border by 2050 and just gun down anyone crossing it.

I had a pleasant day yesterday - I planted 2 native hazel nut trees, elderberry trees, and 1 saskatoon service berry tree. And today its pouring rain and expected to rain for 3 days straight hopefully giving them a chance to really establish. I have a some pablano peps coming in on my indoor grow. I also have a bunch of greens really coming in. I harvested a bunch of vermipost finally after a year of box stacking my worms. Was fun to separate them out. Got more serious about my composting and am trying to use every box I get that doesnt have a bunch of tape on it n poo poo as my browns in my mix. I bought some oyster mushroom spawn and its going fuckin WILD so I can't wait to eat them in a few days and then eventually put that mycelium somewhere that it has a chance to really flourish outside later. yeah

I did not realize that the New Yorker had people further along in the crack ping process than D&D back in 2019 https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/what-if-we-stopped-pretending??? What If We Stopped Pretending? The climate apocalypse is coming. To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it. quote:And then there’s the matter of hope. If your hope for the future depends on a wildly optimistic scenario, what will you do ten years from now, when the scenario becomes unworkable even in theory? Give up on the planet entirely? To borrow from the advice of financial planners, I might suggest a more balanced portfolio of hopes, some of them longer-term, most of them shorter. It’s fine to struggle against the constraints of human nature, hoping to mitigate the worst of what’s to come, but it’s just as important to fight smaller, more local battles that you have some realistic hope of winning. Keep doing the right thing for the planet, yes, but also keep trying to save what you love specifically—a community, an institution, a wild place, a species that’s in trouble—and take heart in your small successes. Any good thing you do now is arguably a hedge against the hotter future, but the really meaningful thing is that it’s good today. As long as you have something to love, you have something to hope for. a hearty - lmao

BIG HEADLINE posted:When the current "mildly inconvenincing" shortages turn into habitually predictable ones. When convenience and liquor stores run completely out of product with no guarantee of routine restocks. There's a reason liquor stores were declared "key & essential" in the earliest days of COVID - local, state, and federal governments didn't want alcoholics going door-to-door asking to buy people's booze, and in extreme cases, breaking into houses to get it. Same with smokers and vapers. Society is largely kept in check by people's vices, both legal and illicit. The addicts are going to be the first to snap. Why do you think we lmao-lol - because its all so hosed and its just going to keep getting horrifying and there's nothing that any of us can do about it.
