I went 5 years booze free before Covid hit, where I sunk into a hole and became collapse aware and started drinking again. I feel like I’m never gonna be sober again, hopefully cirhosis will just take me out quicker where I can chill with the Lord or maybe the bad boy himself, Mr. Devil. With my luck AI will figure out fusion while I’m on my death bed or some poo poo

well that’s why it’s kinda interesting because it’s not yet. the most notable was Paradise and some Sonoma county burning down but compared to the whole state is like 0.000001% of housing that’s been lost. so actually things are still pretty good and hasn’t really been big disasters

however, future conditions are expected to get worse due to climate change

I think their risk accessors and AI data crunchers told them it’s best to get out of that market now with this looming El Niño coming in

Some guy I work with keeps telling me the only way to fix climate change is for everyone to go on a beef only diet. I made the mistake of debating him once like a year ago, and now he brings it up again or tries and show me some goofy poo poo from IG from some beef head influencer about how grass releases methane anyway and that cows absorb CO2. Apparently this is a big movement, probably started by Jordonson. This guy only eats beef and looks like absolute poo poo but says he’s never felt better while he’s sweating all the time and has dark circles under his eyes, always saying our ancestors only consumed ruminants. Hope he has a stroke or some poo poo tbh

Edit: he also says he won’t fall for vegetarian and vegan brainwashing when I bring up we need vegetables to be healthy. I’m like dude, you beef heads are way more annoying than they are

Yep basically the new trendy carnivore diet but beef only. And when I say beef I mean steaks mostly. I’m like how tf you affording steaks multiple times a day, they must be Chuck because we get paid the same and no way can I afford $40 in rib eyes a day.

lmao holy poo poo i watched the making of for that and... the madmen actually loving did it. They built a house in a gigantic tank, sealed it up with the CEO inside and unleashed 10 shipping containers full of water on it at once. Him standing there looking out at the rushing water's a real shot, and it really used his poo poo to seal it up.

They had a before/after and basically they CGI'd out above the waterline where you could see all the equipment and poo poo. Even the overhead shot with the see-through roof at the end was real, they only built the very edges of the roof and left the rest open so they could get overhead shots.

I hate marketing but I respect the gently caress out of the people who do things like this to make content.

Well they shoulda shown that in original version because I thought it was mostly cgi and a bs product.

This is the beef head influencer my coworker showed me earlier today. Not sure if this guy is an actual MD, or if he’s a quack, or if he’s just crazy (I’ve known plenty of crazy doctors) scroll down and he talks about how rotting grass releases methane and how a cow eating it doesn’t matter. Completely ignoring enteric fermentation in a cows guts

Edit: nevermind goons unsolved the case, he’s a definite quack

“Dr. Shawn Baker, a California-based orthopedic surgeon whose license to practice medicine in New Mexico was revoked in 2017, is perhaps the most high-profile carnivore diet promoter.”

Talking with a middle-aged doctor about treatment for a family member. Unprompted they start talking about how there's so much disruption, shortages and a slow healthcare collapse. The punchline is there are no longer alternative medicines for many things. There's no option Bs. I was tempted to say it's okay doc it's just the end of this world. Instead went with 'do what you can do, and don't worry about what's out of your hands'.

Ambivalent about whether should have leaned into the 'end of the industrial world' and there's more of this coming. Or been more comforting to a low-key distressed human being. I hate advertising and its messages forced on me. Wasn't up for spreading the doom gospel today.

Societal collapse will definitely accelerate once all these higher skilled professional types with decent nest eggs wise up that there might not be much time left. My uncle Dr retired months into when Covid hit, primarily because of it, and he’s only 63. I don’t blame him one bit.

But yeah I never speak about doomer poo poo in public, I keep that toxic poo poo strictly to internet communities

I know we were on a similar subject a page back and hate to diverge from the current stimulating intellectual discussion, but these days my hedonism seems to have developed a case of anhedonia. Didn’t think it was possible… I’ve always been a hearty drinker, then quit 5 years, then on and off again for Covid and collapse awareness, but typically a 5th of vodka in a night gives me at least a buzz. Tonight nothing, just back (kidney?) pain. Time to go on the wagon for good and experience the apocalypse as it should be experienced, as a fully cognizant sober man punishing myself for my ancestors sins

It's been spring for a little while but between wildfire smoke, rain or unseasonable coldness or pain, I haven't gotten out to observe the little patch of nature around my apartment.

Yesterday I sat outside and it was just an incredible amount of birdsong. Based on my observations, I think we have least eight different species* around us rn.

All last year we fed them roasted in-shell peanuts and sunflower seeds. Regulars have probably seen some of these pictures:




The goal was to ultimately befriend these creatures so that they would give us presents. Like feathers and little shiny things and maybe even some bugs! Other than what the nuthatches smear everywhere to keep us safe from predators :3:

This morning was another nice weather day so I sat outside to have my coffee. Cat sat in my lap and I tossed a bunch of peanuts and sunflower seeds around the area, off the edge of the balcony.

I heard a bunch of weird chirps and blue jay coos and croaks, and a mangy-looking fledgling clumsily flew over and perched on one of the farther branches from me, but still right in front of me. I had no camera or anything and I didn't want to move. A couple more tiny, hideous birds arrayed themselves on the branch.

Then I saw one of our blue jays (I think I can recognize a couple individuals but not this one, from this distance) sort of supervising from a healthy distance to the right, and another one landed in the tree to the left of these little birds and they all just kind of sat there, preening for a few minutes while I watched.

When they left, I checked what blue jay fledglings look like and I'm pretty sure they were introducing me to their family because we fed them enough for a nice, healthy brood.

After the morning rush, all the horrible machine noises of the urban day replace the bird song and it's back to business, but I feel very held and regarded by the silly little pocket of nature around my balcony.

* crows, of course, blue jays, european starlings, nuthatches, chickadees, robins, woodpeckers (downy or pileated, not sure) and I just saw house sparrows which are new to the neighbourhood this year.

Phew, thought you were gonna say the baby birds died from too much plastic or something
