This, too, shall pass.

NO! This is not just false, it's dangerously false.

If a country takes measures to emit 500M less tons of CO2 per year, the result is... 500M less tons of CO2 in the air per year than otherwise. That helps!

There isn't a single fucked/not fucked threshold. There are a lot of nuances of fucked and each one we dodge puts us in an incrementally less awful place. Who knows how many more lives saved for each Mton CO2 not produced. Who knows how many species get to live, how many fewer days of heatwave per year, how many more glaciers survive.

I STG, "we're already fucked anyway" is oil shill talk. Fuck that noise, let's make oil obsolete, let's avoid entire shades of fucked, we've already made insane progress with renewables and electric cars, let's just keep going! Let's pressure our individual politicians because you know the fuckers love it when you give up! You on board?

OH. 😂

Just wanna quickly applaud the writing in this comment. Conveying a show's vibes this effectively in just a few sentences is not easy.

(What's the long-payoff Andor joke though? I may have missed it.)

I'll venture, it's a natural if misdirected immune reaction from people who are all too aware they are being tracked ceaselessly and relentlessly, all day, everyday, not to their benefit. So sure, this one piece of software swears its own tracking is just for debugging purposes... But why risk it?

Yup, some do! There's a whole spectrum out there. My point is, though, that some don't, and that's okay.

Except the aces, which is fine too.

Naples is breathtaking, but... Yeah. That constant niggling feeling dampens the experience a wee bit.

You better start believing in furry stories on the Internet. You're in one. The joke that furries run the Internet is only a joke until you discover that it's, in fact, largely true.

Hey, so who are you? What kind of person?

Loyal to your people? Introverted but faithful in friendship? Curious and playful? Are you more dignified, or carefree? Given to hoarding, or full of wanderlust? Drawn to the forest, the sky, the sea, or your den? Single-minded or scatterbrained? A mix of all that? Something else entirely?

Gee, that's a lot of options. If only there was a way to put some kind of symbolic label on the many little traits that make up the identity of the person that is you... :)

Also, it so turns out that if you come hang out with those who chose to self-label thus as wolf-like or fox-like or dragon-like or deer-like, you may find they're chill and welcoming people, throw great parties, and don't mind one bit if, ultimately, the you that makes sense to you is in the end human-like.
