Babe wake up, new adorable animal just dropped

Sweet as, I’ll buy a dedicated box and spin up a few instances

For anyone curious to do the same thing, lenovo thinkcentre mini pcs are cheap as chips second hand and make good little homelabs

I mean yeah it’s one-shot land but I’d feel more comfortable in the Australian bush than in other territories, a lot of these creatures can be avoided with a little bit of knowledge and caution, but there’s no large predators

Most large creatures here can beat the shit out of you but they wouldn’t unless you threatened them.

After WW2 the world was split into 3 categories: first world (Western nations), second world (the Eastern bloc) and third world (everyone else)

America and the USSR both vyed and destabilised a lot of nations to solidify their place as super powers, America gained its power from the British when its economy shifted to war production to support them.

America made a lot of smart moves, like establishing the IMF so the US Dollar is used for international trade, and America has historically honoured all debts through the IMF.

So lots of nations had to kowtow to America to an extent if they wanted to have decent international trade.

Under Trump America is giving up its soft power for isolationism, and you can see a large portion of the world trying to shift away from Americas system through things like BRICS or incentivising different energy systems instead of oil

There is a lot more to this, but I think that’s at least a start to your question

UMG, Capitol Records, Concord Bicycle Assets, CMGI Recorded Music Assets, Sony Music Entertainment, and Arista Music

Are named from the petition, fuck these corporate ghouls

In a similar boat, I guess I would be considered a pantheist by definition.

Staunch atheist growing up, asked myself a similar question. My religious views don’t necessarily change my view of how the world comes to be, or promises anything like eternal salvation; just an acknowledgement that all of this comes from something and by definition you could consider that something to be god.

Any extrapolations ontop of that would have to be considered faith or conjecture.

In fact I think most people would find it somewhat depressing to come to a similar conclusion initially, but the questions that come from this pondering have really helped me find a harmony with the universe and I’m appreciative of that

Where’s the satire?

Yeah but 0^0 = 1, maybe we just need to inject him with heaps of meth first or something. It’s not like we could make the situation worse

One of the richest people in the world has the humour of a 14 year old boy slipping through the cracks of the education system.

I guess it doesn’t really surprise me though, if only this money went to something good.

Sweet just in time for me to start my first playthrough

I could quit smoking for 20 years but if you were to offer me a Gauloises blue or a gitane I would light it up in a heartbeat

French cigarettes are delicious, just like the cuisine. (And they pair very well)

Smokes in Australia have added flame retardent that make a night and day difference, but I suppose that’s a silver lining as an ex-smoker

This game looks fun as

Given that the Liberals put up posters in the AEC colours, in Chinese saying “The correct way to vote is to put 1 next to Liberals” one election

And had literally no repercussions, I’m guessing nothing will be done about this either. I imagine it will come down to a “But both sides did it so it’s okay”

Despite us not being a two party system

Oh no! Not capitalism!

Oh god youre the person behind all the legacy codebases I’ve maintained

Oh I can definitely get behind that, I have my gripes with how the current climate consensus is insidiously stacked to give policymakers leeway and mislead the public with this bullshit.

I’m reading through it now and this part on NGFS reports really captures the sentiment:

This is analogous to carrying out a risk assessment of the impact of the Titanic hitting an iceberg but excluding from our model the possibility that the ship could sink, the shortage of lifeboats, and death from drowning or hypothermia.

As much as I hate talking about ‘duh economee’ when it comes to climate change (a thing that threatens the existence of us and many other beings) this report nails it.

Also the critical observations are good talking points when dealing with deniers/idiots

At 4C of warming the feedback loops of Earth begin to accelerate at an unprecedented rate, the economy is irrelevant from this point onwards.

Just one of these feedback loops has more CO2 equivalent than over 60% of anthropomorphic emissions since the industrial revolution.

At 4C of warming the human race is due for extinction unless through its self perceived exceptionalism it somehow manages to circumvent the laws of thermodynamics.

The alternative is we start building a better tomorrow TODAY.
