and a lot of questionable consent sex situations if I remember correctly

judging by project 2025 they can stop their own agenda by not being able to agree what it is.

It’s somewhat based in reality, isn’t it? I’m still gaming in my late 30s and most people I get to play with are on average 10-15 years younger than me. People leave the hobby with time, en masse, and almost no one my age seems to be joining. There are some games that let you ignore that more (single player, matchmaking. Although even in single player, what’s the point of gaming, if you don’t get to discuss it with most of your friends), but some are really difficult to continue playing (coop :().

And aren’t magic. Switching fully to renewables is probably both impossible (still require non-renewable materials to make) and requires lowering of living standards (unless you want to build a dyson swarm you need to stop growing your energy use, which pretty much means recession, because our economy is energy driven - and if you need a different economic system for a technological solution to work it’s not really a technological solution, is it. Also renewables are still pretty annoying when it comes to matching your output to your supply, and not being able to turn your AC whenever you feel like it is already a lowering of living standard for the richest countries).

And while we wait for them to “solve” the problem, we’re already likely past 1.5°C, even if we just stick to not starving, having water to drink, and not freezing during winters from tomorrow.

I don’t think that’s how it works. Plastic degrades fast (especially with UV radiation), it just doesn’t fully go away. That’s how we get microplastic and harmful chemicals everywhere.

this is good, but I think we should build our own (illegal) stonehenge. Or maybe a pyramid. Not only it’d be nice to have something other than microplastic standing after the society collapse, it’d be a huge powerplay. As we seem to be wanting to join earlier civilizations that are no longer here (nor remembered that fondly) it seems only adequate.

My geographic area doesn’t really have stone available, best I can do is a mound :(
