Both PNC Bank and Huntington Bank are advertising heavily about their “low cash mode” accounts, where if you overdraw they issue you an expensive payday loan. Seems normal.

Every once in a while I think about the joy of having grand children, and then realize there's a good chance those grandchildren will die horrible deaths before my very eyes while I'm still alive. I feel bad for my kids.

eSports Chaebol posted:if by “acceptable” you mean “if we literally cut 100% of non-agricultural fossil fuel use that isn’t for the development of renewable energy right now, the fossil fuel expenditure on RE might be just below our remaining carbon budget to stay below 2.5C increase”. Also it probably won’t be lol I just think it would be nice if we made any attempt at all really

Vox Nihili posted:I just think it would be nice if we made any attempt at all really Any serious attempt requires economic degrowth, along with committing to a long-term strategy of managed retreat and incredibly costly mitigation efforts to survive the damage that's already baked in. Any half-hearted attempt requires, at a minimum, intentionally slowing economic growth. Our civilization does not have the tools to accept these facts, and market-based initiatives (literally the only ones we're willing to consider) are by definition incapable of implementing solutions that don't attempt to generate economic growth.

There's been other moments in recent history where a radical restructuring of society has happened, but the way these things happen tend to be under pretty extreme pressure from either economic or political problems (depressions and war), and that's without trying to indulge in any kind of accelerationism. People despair because nothing has really changed fundamentally despite learning what we've been doing to the biosphere over the last 40 years, let alone the economy. I take some comfort in the fact that anyone who knows what will happen in the future (as opposed to what will likely happen based on current circumstances) are full of poo poo and things can quickly turn on a dime, but at what point that will happen and after how many people are immiserated or killed in the process is not fun stuff to think about.

Climate change apocalypse will not be averted because we’ve built everything around the wealthiest fucks making exponential profits forever. Solving the problem will not only require getting a violently opposed cohort of oligarchs out of the way but also necessitate making changes that would tank the economy and annihilate the fundamental structures we all rely on for basic goods and services. I hate to be a doomer but I really don’t see a path forward outside of some sort of massive collapse that gives people an opportunity to rebuild everything from scratch.

Beached Whale posted:When people say "nothing can be done" consider it a shorthand for your own observations that capital simply isn't going to budge when it comes to making the right choice. You also have to remember that this outcome is frankly what a lot of society wants. They want to live in their big suburban houses, use tons of plastic, drive their big cars 100s of miles a week, think of how many people you know in your life who live like this and are literally never going to change anything until it's gone entirely. This is why it's particularly sad that we refused to use nuclear power to solve this, as nuclear would allow us to continue on with no real changes to standard of living while also totally fixing climate change for at least 100 years.

Any half-hearted attempt requires, at a minimum, intentionally slowing economic growth. wrong! a serious attempt would involve the evacuation of the Earth to an orbital colony, so that the planet can be a nature preserve.  building the "advanced interplanetary" model we could place 6,100 tons of material into earth orbit per launch. there are approximately 287 million metric tons of human on the earth so this will require 47,049 launches using 37,639,344 hydrogen bombs. we might not have enough uranium-235 on earth to make that many bombs, but i think we could produce enough through the transmutation of thorium? Once in orbit the ships would unfold into O'Neill Cylinders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtYisD7RqWk&t=93s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTDlSORhI-k
