You can hurt yourself trying. You might have already, I know I've done it.
Oh good, watching now. It's my new diet idea, learning to revile all comestibles
If you take a long term view of things
This is probably why they had to use aliens for the hypothetical scenario.
The literal scenario should be less emphasized than the subtler point that degrowth is a far more direct way to address climate change than any specific green (or greenwashed) technological advance, since consumption itself (merely using that amount of energy, regardless of its sources) is enough to destroy our habitat.
They're not making the point that "all civilizations will end because of this". The more interesting and credible point they're making is that 1,000 years of energy consumption growth rates at our speed must inevitably, even using 100% renewables, cook the planet. They're not saying "we can't beat climate change under any circumstances", they're saying (if I have understood them) that the way to do it is at least some amount of degrowth, which is quite reasonable.
This is a good essay. I hope it can move the needle for others.
Yeah well now we're trying the "literally let them eat heaps of cake" theory of population control.
Look, I just don't know how to do mentions on this site yet. I figured it'd be kinda funny whether I did it right or not
Ads can not be made less useful to me in their present state, and as it is they are far overvalued as an industry.
Consensus reality is a poor thing, these days. You're ignoring the third group, which pays so little attention to anything but their little diversions that no important information has reached them in years, and their main source of news is by scratching memes and sniffing them.
Evazan did just come out the gates doing gangster rap style brags, and I can't help but admire the temerity of it
It's nice to get to know people. I'm always pleased to reassess a negative tag.

A man in Nashville was in a car accident and had a severe skull and brain trauma.... I'm hearing that he checked himself out of the hospital because they wouldn't let him vape. He has been seen walking around town with his head looking like a bitten cookie with several inches of exposed brain. Acting like nothing's up.
The footage is not for the faint of heart. Or anyone, really.

Having great fun trying to depict my setting (link) in Flowscape.
In order to create the dramatic geography of this city, the cliff faces are actually 3D mountain assets rotated and transformed. As I get more familiar with the software I'm excited to see what else I can do.
Hopefully I get faster, as this setting has over 50 towns and cities...
I made quesabirria de res and proveletta cheese with consomme. My little innovation is that I gave it a pat of cilantro garlic compound butter with flake salt on top. I'm gonna die happy. These are the best tacos I've ever made. They taste better than being thin, god help me.
A normal septagram continues in an unbroken loop, and is used by some to ward off evil as "god's favorite number". This broken septagram represents a failed attempt to resist evil. We can see pentagrams within from multiple angles, askew, but always frustrating the eye. We cannot ever fully defeat evil, nor attain divinity.
Living in a walkable city means my weekly shop is a few hours of walking or biking instead of being stuck in traffic, and I'm only mildly tired afterwards since I use a bike with pretty large pannier bags. Since I have no car related costs I can afford more fresh food, a healthier diet, and I can afford to be more choosy about the ethics of what I buy. There's a twice weekly farmers market about a ten minute walk away, and quiet walks through parks to get to the shops. Living somewhere with car centric infrastructure, as I used to, this lifestyle was far less feasible.
Have your experiences been different with moving to walkable/bikeable cities? Any questions or points to be made? I'm not very up on the theory side of city planning, but my experiences line up with the whole "fuck cars" thing.

I love this album, it's a quirky, twee little bop. Not my vibe at all under normal circumstances, but it speaks to the malnourished side of my soul that just wants to play Earthbound, laugh like a kid, and throw popcorn at the TV.
