Realistic. The world will be fine, not so much for most of the lifeforms that currently populate it. Earth has gone through evolutionary resets before. The existence of deep sea hydrothermal vents with methane loving organisms means that Earth will most likely NOT become like Venus, even when all feedback loops run their course. The carbon released and washed into the oceans will feed the species that produce oxygen, just as it has before.
Humans have become their own asteroid.
The adult videos about job hunting/going to work, paying bills and taxes, doing dishes and laundry, doing shopping and cooking
Seems like these idiots have too much time on their hands already.
Feedback loops doing what feedback loops do…
The bosses just love watching the slaves bent over the oars, don’t they?
rich life at higher temps
Until it goes even higher. The release of sub-permafrost and continental slope methane deposits will push it way past the balmy arctic stage before the feedback ends and equilibrium is regained.
Even if ALL human sourced carbon emissions ended today, the global warming feedback loops already in motion will end most life. Fossil records show that it has happened before.
The thing about unsustainable systems is that they are by definition unsustainable. Humanity has fucked around and now we are finding out.
It’s been billions of years before I existed, and potentially trillions of years afterwards. I’m incredibly lucky to be aware and thinking, so why should I complain about stuff happening after my spark of awareness has faded?
This is exactly how I do it. In the long run, none of this shit matters, and nothing will be remembered. The planet has rebooted several times in its history, what are the odds that this particular sentient being would be here to witness it? Enjoy the ride while it lasts, make sure any survivors of the collapse remember who the guilty parties are.
yeah, your mileage will vary. Daily acts of defiance and sabotage of the machine can help keep the rage from hitting a flash point.
I look at those things that annoy me, and think would you rather be in Palestine right now and it becomes less of an issue. This general strategy has worked for me since the Vietnam War era.
You are under no obligation to allow toxic people into your life. Sharing bits of DNA does not require you to submit to abuse. Cut him out and move on, your mental health and the well-being of your family is worth it. Life goes on.
I am sure a TV series would get destroyed.
The warning “This species destroys anything it encounters, turn around, save yourselves, warn the universe”. With as many before and after images of destroyed habitats and extinct creatures that would fit in the rest of the 4GB space.
Huh, that’s an interesting point that I never thought of before.
Yeah, I have found that accessibility issues are mostly treated like a joke in the tech industry. I would raise it as a QA issue and nothing would be done.
The text would certainly be helpful for the vision impaired, but if text would do it, why use emojis in the first place? Same issue with vague icons, you need a text alternative for usability.
Emojis are a waste to me, my eyesight is not good enough to differentiate whatever the fuck they are supposed to be saying. I don’t like to throw around “ists” and “isms” but some people really do have accessibility issues, and emojis are not helpful at all. Too many of them are only reflecting inside jokes and elitism.
Use language, that is what it is there for.
They need to be sued into nonexistence. As well as the fuckers who voted to authorize them to operate these deathtraps.
