Well yeah, if you're trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.
The moment I heard someone say "we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons" I immediately thought of the Back to the Future scene where Marty goes "Hey I've seen this one before!"
Evolution (2001) is an objectively bad movie.
It is also one of my all time favorites because it's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Schindler's List is an objectively good movie. It is decidedly not fun.
I wouldn't know.
I've never used them.
I've never even seen them.
As an American, seconded.
I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
I'm cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
I wouldn't categorize myself as agorophobic, as I DO enjoy my time spent outside as long as I'm not in crowds or socializing with more than a handful of people, but it definitely got worse after covid.
Home is where what little stuff I do have is, and there's nobody there that I dislike or dislikes me. Outside is increasingly hostile for humans with climate change, and the likelihood that I might get shot over my political stances because a neighbor thinks I might have different political views has never been higher.
So yeah, I don't go out as much either and covid was definitely the tipping point of "I don't go out much anymore"
That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!
I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.
Moth needs to stop runningaway when I try to let it outside, I just want to help but I can't help if I can't catch it.
the “optimal” economic path during climate change
The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.
But that requires looking past the next quarter.
Also I'm convinced economics "professionals" have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. "I know it's bullshit but they're giving me money, so..."
The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.
Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it's on a private island.
Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!
