Not just high wet bulb temperatures, but also severe disruption to fresh water and shifting rainfall pattern. What used to be consistent patterns in nature that prevented droughts might change due to the changing climate. An example of this is mountains becoming ice-free, making them stop releasing fresh water throughout the year as the ice melts.
If humanity survives into the future without regressing technologically, I think it’s very likely that humanity will expand into space. Yes, the earth is very habitable, but space is abundant in resources if we can get to them, as well as opening up a new world of manufacturing due to no space or gravity limitations. Possibly will be necessary for future research and science as well, as ever more demanding experiments will be desired.
Once space infrastructure gets really going, I think space will be a very natural environment to expand into. And that will also imply at least semi-permanent habitats.
Once you need it, or, alternatively, once you have enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. It’s exponential growth, you only get one chance, just gotta decide what your goal with the money actually is.
Which is an interesting thing, actually! States of matter are not related to the molecules themselves, but how they interact with themselves. It’s an emergent property! Not something intrinsic!
My strategy to this will be, if my parents do shit like this (which is very likely) when they eventually figure it out, I’ll just block them. No fanfare.
I’m beyond caring about letting others dictate my life, compromising my happiness. If they cannot accept me for who I am, then they won’t take part in my life, as simple as that. Maybe they’ll eventually come around to it, once they realize it’s either that or never talking to me again, but until then…
Damn, I’m only a stranger that’s been seeing you around, but I’ve always appreciated what you post, and loss sucks… indescribably bad. I hope things get better, and I wish you the best.
I’d send a hug but idk if that’s appropriate lol. Either way you deserve one.

The problem with hydroponics and vertical farming is, well, sunlight. How do you get sunlight to a plant that isn’t in direct view of the sun?
These things may be space efficient, buy they’re resource and energy intensive, as you cannot just use naturally occurring soil, and neither can you use naturally occurring sunlight. Fields are an effective, if space inefficient, way to grow crops.
GMOs are just a straight positive though, if they’re used correctly (and not like, patented).
I personally am in a phenomenally stable polyamorous relationship. I’ve been married to my wife for 12 years, and she has had the same boyfriend for about half of that time. It’s a really fulfilling arrangement for all of us in various ways. We’re all genuinely happy and satisfied. I’m kind of casually looking for a...
As that’s assuming every partner gets the same amount of attention as in a mono relationship, but your partner(s) has other partners, they can hang out with someone else when you are busy or need some time for yourself. How much time you spend with your partner(s) is very flexible.
In fact, in my polycule, people tend to actually get more alone time, because you are not the sole person fulfilling your partner’s romantic needs. It’s remarkably flexible, and, while it may need some planning and/or making sure you tend to your relationships, in my case it feels remarkably straightforward and freeing.
It’s a thing I like a lot, actually. Not feeling like I am the sole person responsible for someone’s romantic needs. It lifts a fair amount of stress off of me.
This flexibility means you can tune a lot of things, into what works for everyone.
Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.
"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.
"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."
Having been near an industrial robot arm, it does make me nervous even if it’s powered off. It’s a giant hunk of steel that has the strength to probably lift up a car and more, nevermind crush your bones.
This will make me more likely to buy certain games, absolutely. And it’s really not that I feel ashamed or whatever about them, but more like, I know some people are judgey, and I’d rather not have them in the know lmao. Also work/professional stuff.
Not to mention stuff like patents and being secretive for profit, hiding knowledge instead of it being used for the good of all and allowed to be iterated upon. Also monopolizing, undermining others, intentionally sabotaging innovations for profit, wasting a ton of resources and effort on things useless on the grand scheme of things, such as how to manipulate people into buying more of your product… etc.
Also not seeking the most logical option/investing in the logical technologies, such as intentionally sabotaging climate change/renewable energy efforts in order to earn more from oil sales and so on, and so forth. Capitalism/competition does not breed innovation. Cooperation does. And it shows, because research is very much based on cooperation… at least researchers love to cooperate in the quest for more knowledge.
Well, fair, I get that about food. It is negative for your health when consumed in excess after all.
As for the porn, well, I guess that makes sense, even if I’m still very much like “if it doesn’t hurt anybody, why feel shame? Even if people consider it weird? They don’t need to know.”
I mean, I literally live in Norway, and I don’t feel this. Sure, many people do struggle with depression and such, but it doesn’t feel as if you’re not allowed to be happy.
It kinda sucks honestly, because I think if they literally got one or two more weeks, and disabled the offending settings such as depth of field, they would have received far less flak. I feel like a good 70% of the complaints are due to bad defaults.
Like, sure, they probably still would have gotten some justified criticism for it, but I don’t really think the game deserved as harsh criticism as it got, or at least, the problems are all very surface level, and underneath what is there actually works well.
The issue is, it will eventually kill mainstream gaming as an artform, and keep funneling our economy towards the enshittification of everything.
Maybe it isn’t worth legislating over, but something should be done, lest humanity will lose most of what is dear to us, and everything will be just about money. I’m already uncomfortable enough with how commodified nearly everything in society is. The commodification of everything is very much not something we want. It’s literally what the cyberpunk genre was warning about.
Not to even mention the sort of mentality such a consumerist culture instills on us, especially in regards to whales, and the sociological consequences of this.
Yes, I am aware we are already basically there. At least in comparison to the past. But it can always get worse. Sure, indie games will stay (though likely still very much affected), but AAA games? Yeah.
I agree. And that’s was also my point! I feel like older games were chasing that profit motive much less (well, at least some of the big ones, arcades used to be a thing after all). And you can often quickly see when every franchise started falling off a cliff once it was tried to capitalize on them.
