Just for reference, if you're working in a destroying-the-environment field and you try to get your coworkers and higher-ups to make changes, either personal or larger-scope, to help mitigate environmental damage, you might end up on graveyard shift lifting boxes for nearly minimum wage soon after once you get illegally blacklisted from the industry, speaking from experience

Plus nobody you tried to fix will ever believe you and now you're (i'm) broke

Get magnets implanted into your fingertips and learn to feel electromagnetic fields

I worked with a guy who did that, he had a magnet implanted in his left pinky and it actually saved him from getting murdered when something wasn't isolated when it should have been

did an arc form to his finger? that's kewl

He wasn't the most well-spoken man in the world so he said it "feels like fuckin' weird" when his finger went near a live wire and when he popped open the switchgear that the lockout authority insisted was locked out, his finger started feeling like fuckin' weird so he went and yelled at the guy, but since the lockout dude was extremely old and extremely friendly with supervision nothing happened

Things are going to start getting bad in 2019 and exponentially worse every year thereafter so watch out for that year, if you build a time machine out of an old washer/dryer you might be able to prepare in time (we're all screwed)

I don't think your gains suddenly drop from 34 year old to like 70 year old the instant you turn 35 and i've seen some ripped grandpas

I was going through your stage-of-grief back in February and it motivated me to do largely the same thing you're doing, made enormous progress in that time so I figure since we're the same age, both goons and I think we're both dudes there's no reason you can't do the same thing and you'll even get a chance to have a few regrettable tinder hookups before tinder implodes from the combined weight of all the catfish

This is really sad


Same. I've seen it big time in the areas I fish regularly. I practice good catch and release techniques to harm the fish as little as possible and I've seen major declines in the fish populations. It makes me not want to fish

I just weigh down a fishing line with no hook so I can sit there drinking beers looking at a lake while holding a fishing rod, it's very relaxing since you don't have all the hassle of accidentally catching anything

Don't worry we got that climate thing all figured out, turns out all we had to do was make it to 2020 and then someone took a bit out of the sun to make it dimmer and it also got rid of the nazi's. A dimmer sun has given us an opportunity for even bigger number!

it’s cool that “so why even bother trying” is starting to look more and more attractive

I highly recommend going through your climate crisis existential terror several years ago instead of right now so you can watch the world unravel from a lens of "I get to watch the fall of Rome in first person!" instead of "oh my god we're all going to die horribly" as everything ignites around you

Wakko posted:

i know that cynicism is cool and all, but this is decidedly the wrong way to look at things. we didn't get to 415 ppm CO2 by sitting back and hoping for more coal power plants and more oil exploration. we're not going to get to 600ppm by just waiting around. if we're going to deal with the human problem once and for all, everybody is going to have to do their part.

The problem is that humanity needs unanimous direction like, immediately, but there's a ton of momentum behind business-as-usual and it takes a long time to change directions on a boat this big, especially with so many people trying to stop us from changing direction at all
