It's good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that, I know. But lately, I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end.
Did you read the article? It’s a bit misleading as the two highest peaks in Hawaii are 10k and 13k ft above sea level and annually get snow. Last blizzard warning was 3.5 years ago so while it’s uncommon it’s not unheard of.
no worries even if unrestrained the Dems wouldn’t do anything like reorganize the economy so we so fuckin fucked either way. This way Joey Manch gets rich, neat.
yeah its bad and exhausting to try to digest the enormity of it. reminds me to focus on eking out a little happiness where possible.
Think I might buy some land in Northern Michigan as a hedge for my family 5 acres somewhere probably pretty cheap right now and no lack of water in the future
trouble imo with this sort of planning is that the state and or warlords or whatever will likely seize particularly desirable spaces when it comes to it
i mean operating here under the assumption that things are bad enough that acreage for subsistence farming and drinking water would be a survival strategy, I have to assume there will be goons with guns stealing shit from responsible planners. They may even be the remnants of the government.
I always think when shit gets really bleak some evil genius will swoop in with a big fix just barely saving the planet. But then they’ll prob become a trillionaire and end existence in some other hilarious fashion but yeah that idea kind of keeps me going. *I have not read any links posted and am kind of drunk
a bunch of right wingers and tech fetishists (Musk fanboys for example) are convinced this is what will happen, just some abrupt solution that makes everything perfect its fascinating delusion, Talking Head was one of the most faithful adherents on here
Yeah that’s not what it’ll be at all. It’ll need to be decades of motivation, hard work, and incredible investment in infrastructure. That’s why we’re so fucked. We don’t have the ability to plan that far ahead in the current political environment. Not even close actually.
It’s definitely wishcasting but… from those morons’ lips to god’s own ears. We’re seemingly fucked otherwise. Cultivating the global cultural will to solve the problem is less realistic than musk terraforming mars.
i think hardcore climate nihilism is also kinda silly. theres a LOT of goods news out there over the last 2-3 years.
Living in southern ca definitely warps my view on this, the water situation is going to be dire here very soon.
yeah i'm not saying a lot of bad shit isn't likely just the hellscape outcomes might be dodged i really wanted to move to st. helena when my wife finished school, the job was bad so we postponed for a few years then wildfires crushed it like 3x in the interim. selfishly i wish that would stop but understand how it radicalizes the locals!
You’ll enjoy drinking piped in Mississippi River water and you’ll like it. That water hasn’t had any adverse health affects on the people of Louisiana or Mississippi I swear
Fortunately CA has primary water rights to the Colorado river, AZ (where humans should not live) gets fucked before us! Of course the upcoming water wars may change this calculus.
a lot of people don’t know you can have guns and trucks and blast cigs and other cool shit without it defining you as a person
I'd be lying if the thought of meal team 6 trying to seriously come after liberals and meeting the business end of my shotgun doesn't make me smile from time to time.
When do we get to global one child per family law? I just don’t see 10 billion people being a good idea for this planet. Seems like we’re already well past the sustainable number
