He really is a coward though, he kept following them. Activism is pointless, let's get that out of the way. Anyhoo, who cares if his own protestors die? They are taking that risk. They will die prematurely, as their children will, and they had no choice in that. In this at least they get to exercise choice. Who cares if an old lady died cause she couldn't get to hospital cause of protests? How many seniors died in England in the heatwave two summers ago? How many will die when the roads split in half, and loving nobody can get to hospital? I think he's a little squeamish for activism. He invokes Churchill and war but doesn't see it as a war at all or else doesn't know what war is.

I think millions of LEO bombs made to disperse mylar would be the best solar shield we could hope for, with the added benefit of trapping us all down here

I just did a bunch of acid and crack-pinged to a whole new dimension.

It turns out that now, when we live, there is a collective 'i am a sentient extinction event' emergent consciousness that can be...accessed. It's a level of self-understanding that is totally dehumanizing and depersonalizing, and I'm pretty sure anybody who can handle it and has done their homework can access at will. It couldn't have existed until recently, because it was only recently possible that a sapient extinction event was able to cognize itself as a sapient mass extinction. It's probably the final mutation of Hegel's geist.

Everything becomes incredibly hilarious and what you thought of as your individual identity gets kind of irretrievably shredded. But it's a consciousness that's just kind of standing there, available to be accessed at any time to anybody who notices. You can kinda move into and back out of it deliberately. You can experience yourself and your life as a mass extinction event in a way that's like, the apotheosis of human self-understanding, but is also decidedly 100% post-human.

It is like having cthuluesque demon peering through your own skull. Post-human consciousness is here motherfuckers goddamn holy gently caress.

you shoot neutrons at a hydrogen plasma and then compress it a lot. hydrogen isotopes are much happier being helium atoms but you gotta convince them, and then as a reward they give you infinite energy.

Such dire conditions here, the patisserie was almost out of mango passionfruit croissants when I arrived.

Just as a general rule of thumb - any problems in your head in general can get to your brain or important nerves real fuckin' quick. The mouth is a common vector because, well, food + regular gas exchange + warm = bacteria playground but just in general don't mess around with things gone wrong around your brain meat case.

hell yeah

idk how anyone can go around with doom mindset. everything is far too interesting to be going about your life in doom, and we're so lucky. it's a treasure trove of scientific curiosity and marvel with global genetic history being rewritten in real time; the inner workings of the planet being unraveled and exposed for study. think of how few sapient life there is, and then think of how even fewer sapient life, across the universe and whatever other alternate universes, will ever experience complete self-made biosphere collapse going from nearly 0-to-100 within their very lifespan. like it's like winning a super megamillions lotto thousands of times consecutively.

I'll try to make it so simple a toddler could get it.

you, yourself, as an individual meatsack reading this thread, have a choice. you get to die on your knees mewling like a liberal coward, or you get to go out on your feet like a goddamn adult.

that's it. that's the only choice you have. it doesn't matter in the slightest, it will do nothing and accomplish nothing, your existence will have been just as meaningless either way, and multi-cellular life is loving off for the foreseeable future regardless.

It's a completely meaningless, subjective shift of one's attitude and outlook, it costs you nothing to make it, and yet still you're all regurgitating the same nihilist garbage you've been spoonfed your whole lives.

gently caress all of you. just loving die already.

Doco about the 2019/2020 Australian bushfires. Seems to be standard of what we can expect from fires in the future, especially in Australia anyway. It's not bad, and worth a watch just to see how utterly hosed this country is.

And be warned, there is some imagery of koalas on fire while alive, koalas with 3rd degrees burns, and the sounds of koalas screaming from being on fire/having 3rd degree burns. So, just be aware. It's loving harrowing and probably the worst part of the show.

I dunno goons, maybe we should all just see a psychiatrist and chill.

Saying we're all going to die is optimism. It's a hopeful thought that the most destructive species in the history of the planet might kill itself in the process of killing millions of other species. But humans are too vicious and stubborn to get completely wiped out, and there'll be a few communities left eating whatever weeds and vermin can survive +8° C. Actions now can make a difference in whether a billion people survive, or only a few thousand.

McKay, who wrote the screenplay based on a story idea by journalist David Sirota, just doesn’t care enough about popular culture or social media to effectively skewer it. Not that the film compellingly digs into the things it allegedly is invested in. Don’t Look Up wants to paint our inaction with regard to climate change as the result of denialism and being distracted by silly things like, say, a movie streaming on Netflix. But climate change isn’t a comet headed our way in less than a year — a lousy, faulty metaphor for where we’re at right now. Climate change is a slow-motion disaster that’s been brought on by generations of industrialized existence, and to contend with it requires us to think about ourselves collectively as a species and act on behalf of lives beyond the scopes of our own, in terms of the future and in terms of the whole planet.
