Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.
Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.
We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.
In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.
I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.
1·1 year agoI vaguely remember something about them trying to revoke some kind of licensing that let people use their intellectual property, but they ended up settling for rewording the licensing because the backlash from the customers was significant. Ie. Boycotting.
Or something along those lines. Business fucks around, business finds out. They’ll try again in the future, but there are plenty of other table top games people can roll dice to now.
11·1 year agoNCBI’s GenBank has some and they’re trying to get more.
Here’s an article about why it’s hard. Spoiler alert, it’s poverty.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8795520/Also I suggest checking out GenBank and BLAST, whether you’re working in biology or not they’re fun to play around with.
Mining our information and selling it has proven to be a 1 trillion dollar speculative industry. Not sure what they want to do with it outside of trying to sell me shit I don’t want, don’t need and don’t have money for. Maybe someone will notice that people aren’t buying stuff based on ads, then the economy will be in trouble.
Maybe make the eyes the world instead.
Also the colored whiskers are strange, maybe keep them black.
There are always things people have in common. More-so today with the accessibility to media provided by the internet. That said being a friend to someone isn’t about checking a bingo card of similar interests. It’s about listening to their experiences and being interested.
What do people watch on tv, what are they listening to, where have they vacationed recently, did you hear about xyz happening in the news.
Kids. People with kids talk about their kids.
Some of that might overlap with your experiences, some of it won’t, it doesn’t need to. You just need to shoot the shit, hear what they’ve been up to, say what you’ve been up to, and enjoy doing it. Maybe do an activity of somekind while your at it, maybe just eat dinner.
The age range is just when people get busy with life and have less free time to actually do things. So they have less to talk about. Work becomes their lives. That changes eventually, wait another five year period. You get settled in your career and your focus shifts more towards what’s going on in your actual life.
You should look up ‘speech communities’. It’s a linguistic anthropology thing. Essentially boils down to ‘people talk differently and about different things depending who they’re talking to and where’. In your case you want a group of work friends to talk about work topics with, separate from your group of childhood friends, who you can talk about non-work topics with.
