Floods like this happen all the time
And if they don't it's still a very natural thing to happen
And if it's not, it's a cycle and it's been the same since historic times
And if it's not then you shouldn't build near water
And if you did, well then just move.
i heard aquaman is buying flooded houses to rent out to the fishies
Lol: someone reported this comment as 'criminally wrong' because they didn't get your sarcasm
Damn the one time I don't put a /s
I honestly didn't expect anyone not to get it, that'll show me.
Just to help for anyone else wondering it's a modified version of the narcissist's prayer.
I guess it's close enough to some folks viewpoints to hit a nerve.
I've had some conversations that make me want to time travel to prevent the conversation from happening.
And if you didn’t build near water, yeah you did.
Ashville NC which is kinda the epicenter of where the worst of the reporting is coming out of is 250 miles from the coast and located in the mountains. This isn't just "yeah you built in Florida you signed up for extreme weather events" this is "the fucking Appalachian mountains flooded!" This should be the wakeup call the climate change is coming for everyone and will make more extreme weather events for everyone
Maybe they should have built on higher ground if they didn't want to get flooded. Like ISS modules.
Fall 2036: Breaking! Freak hurricane floods ISS!
Quick, someone contact Randal Monroe, we need a what-if for this. I think we're going to need some water from somewhere though.
New video where the Dutch take over the ISS?
Jesus, that's still pretty damn impressive.
i see the sarcasm, but now for a real question:
we are already seeing the things they warned us about years ago happening now. further unrealized warnings call for large habitat destruction. we could see large extinction events. the same people that bury their heads in the sand are the ones who stand in the way of legislating solutions to mitigate this. entire species of animals that are completely innocent could die because these ignorant people will block solutions. what do we do?
Vote for who you can. Push to remove first past the post. Then vote for your best option.
Fund/work protests. Sadly there is little you can do alone to make a difference
what if we all banded together for one action?
There have been plenty of protests over time but never anything big enough to make anyone in the government worry whatsoever. They're not going to act until they're afraid for their jobs.
how many does that take?
Not sure, did you catch the footage of the massive Hong Kong protests?
They are not really considered successful.
yeah, that's kinda my point. I don't think protests mean shit any more. I think that's a 20th century relic at this point. I wish someone would prove me wrong. I'm kinda being drawn to a single conclusion and I don't see anybody else promoting any better ideas.
The deck is definitely stacked against us for making any change.
so do you just go to your grave knowing you did nothing and you were mankind's last hope?
Procreate and keep your cards close.
Yup and this stuff was supposed to be 30 years in the future.
Fuck you had me at the beginning. I had that onion halfway in my mouth.
