They're not. But it might inspire someone to actually go do something that could stop the corpo ghouls.

So basically, we need more Luigi's. Or for some benevolent psychopath to start a luxury suicide cult for billionaires and warmongers. Or a time machine.

Climate change has not been out of the news cycle for months, and it probably won't ever really be again. Every day there are new reports of flooding or record heat, or data centres using up all the water, or melting glaciers, etc.

And how are corporate ghouls being stopped by Greenpeace hanging a banner on a oil rig?

I hate to be the one to say this but what's the point?

Like sure it was probably a fun, camraderie inducing exercise for the Greenpeacers and it got them out doors and doing teamwork, but it's not bringing attention to anything the general public doesn't already know. And it's certainly not changing opinions on anything for the higher ups, except maybe harsher punishments for eco-activists.

So if the resources used for this stunt are more damaging to the world than not having pulled it at all, and the activists involved are going to be arrested and face serious repercussions for tampering with an oil rig, what was the point?

Oh, good stuff. It's been decades since I was doing pulp fantasy/scifi binges and I'm genuinely surprised I remembered that. The title of the first one just came back to me too- Golden Torc, if anyone's sees this and is interested.

Business as usual. Venus by Tuesday.

Are those the ones with the portal from the future that people keep going through, only to be captured by evil elves? Or am I thinking of another female fantasy writer from that era?

I'm in a similar place with chronic fatigue and realising how much better I feel without wheat. Not quite at the stage to be going outside on adventures again yet, but it's still pretty wild how much of a difference it's made.

That head full of cotton wool brain fog and numbness in my body that I was experiencing before is gone, and the brain fog I still have is just the heavy tired kind that isn't anywhere as disabling. My whole body feels so much lighter and clearer now.

And the only thing that's changed in the last few months is removing wheat from my diet.

So many people are reporting similar experiences in regards to this too, I think we've really fucked up something agriculture related (amongst everything else) what with all the poor soil management, microplastics and pollution.

Locked Tomb trilogy. I devoured those books and they consumed me back.

I just finished season 2 and I think I might know what you mean, so many unexplained things never got resolved.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, why? I'm most of the way through season 2 so far and have been really enjoying it. What didn't you like about seasons 2 and 3?

Personally I'd rather watch miniseries than films over 90 minutes long. Each to their own though.
