At this point I hope this is a simulation. Some kid in the oververse is getting bored with their game of EarthRealm and they are just throwing crap at the sim until it fully tanks.

Ok article overall, although the title should probably be more like ‘Here is why we will never degrowth.’ Although this paragraph really got my hackles up:

As a result, the first problem for the degrowthers is that voters in rich countries have experienced a form of degrowth since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and they don’t seem to like it all that much

Being less well off because of corporate fuckery is not what degrowth is, if anything consumerism has massively increased even with less free income around.

They should name the archiving ai Herodotus.. We really have entered the post truth era.

Wow, so I made it about a minute and a half in when the song switched to english ‘time to say goodbye’ lol, and that man is losing his mind.

Oh right, yeah I totally read that thinking they meant nuclear powered cargo ships. I want to say that I recently read about that exact thing, might be mistaken though.

So am I the only one that thinks that putting nuclear reactors onto ships that are known for violating pretty much all of their environmental regulations all the goddamn time as they sail international waters, is a really fucking bad idea? I mean look at that one ship filled with ammonia nitrate floating around Europe right now. No port will take it, so eventually it’s just gonna sink into the ocean with all of its explosive cargo.

I was talking with my mom the other day and apparently their neighbors, who up until now had never shown any political affiliation at all, put up a Trump flag. They’ve been neighbors for like 20 years haha, my mom was shocked.

Every single time the SC does something outrageous some version of this article comes out proclaiming his deep held belief in justice and whatever else. And every time it is complete bullshit.

Can you imagine growing up with the name of Cnut, kids can be so mean!

While we are only just now (or more alarmingly, already) reaching the 1.5 degrees, I would argue that with the emissions already in place when the agreement was signed in 2015, we would have hit 1.5 no matter what. We likely would have topped out around that number, but now it seems like the next milestone everyone is predicting is 3 degrees. Which is damn scary.

The man who threw a hissy fit over the NWS mildly correcting him over the course a hurricane would travel during his presidency has the nerve to criticize Helene’s response.

Probably at the stage where it turns into ‘it doesn’t matter since she won’t win anyway, this is just a protest vote to show support for third party.’

Alternatively, ‘Huge corpo wants to siphon government money to reopen nuclear facility years after disaster’ sure sounds like the dystopian version to me.

JD Vance’s response to abortion rights was ‘we need to get women to trust us’, so yeah I’d imagine its pretty dismal.

The company has injected more than 4.5 million metric tons of carbon into the ground below its Decatur plant since it began operations. To put this in perspective, the plant emitted more than 4.1 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2022 alone.

So they basically took a chunk of emissions and said, I’ll bet we can make that double what it is now, but only if we also poison the locap water supplies.

Vance after the Debate

Vance digging deep into the reddit school of debate. ‘Explain to me how my lie is untrue please. I’ll derail all other talk until then.’

Yeah, I read this article and a similar one the other day and it sure sounds to me like he just cross bred some sheep and none of the people involved know what cloning is. He apparently cloned the sheep, but then used it to breed hybrids? That he sold based on percent of the originals DNA? If you can clone in the first place (doubtful, obviously), why are you then breeding anything?

One small rant I’d like to make as this article glosses over his bullshit of a sentence. This country is absolutely fucking terrible about enforcing poaching, wildlife trafficking, or any other number of clear degradations to our natural environment. Ignoring the fact that he most likely didn’t even hybridize anything, because ‘paid off a hunter for the ram’s testicle’ doesn’t inspire confidence as to the care of the sperm cells; he still was illegally trafficking wild animals and their body parts with the intent of raising invasive animals for distribution. And yet, he not only isn’t even getting a slap on the wrist, the judge in the case is fawning over him like he outsmarted all those fancy college kids by cloning a sheep in his barn with nothing more than his own wits and god on his side.

Tying deregulation to improving birth rates is definitely one of the weirder libertarian takes I’ve heard, pure Peter Thiel I’m sure.
