Now get into your river bath.

They look pretty different imo

The need for leaf blowers is induced by covering almost every bit of ground with asphalt. Otherwise the leaves would just… you know… be fine and rot in peace. It’s second level estrangement from nature.

i should not have zoomed in on that image

I never did understand why you are not supposed to change a running system.

I would argue that the problem you are pointing out is cultural rather than biological. Humans are very well capable of living sustainably and respectfully and have done so for extended periods of times in different regions of the world. The endless consumtion of an ending earth seems like something that developed together with (e.g. western, capitalist, …) culture and ideology.

We need to work on changing our collective mindset rather than attempt our own disappearance. Second part of argument: I believe we can. Humans are very capable to adapt and change. Not sure about collectives, but if you think you can convice a critical number of people to stop reproducing, I think you can do the same in convincing us to please fix our shit.

Fuck Google.

You can file an issue at WebCompat. If they can reproduce it, they will contact the website.

Plus I’d like to add that while it is the developer’s fault to only test in chrome, they have deliberately not respected established standards and used their market share to enforce the use of new standards that aren’t compatible with other engines.

An example: If I understand correctly, Edge used to be non-chromium based, but was more or less forced into it by deliberate design choices that would, for example, result in youtube contents only being displayed correctly in chrome. People would blame their browser and swap. That is how you abuse the power your have from having the biggest marketshare to increase your marketshare.

Fair point. Nuclear plants are fairly safe and historically have a low death toll, I agree. Leaves the radioactive waste to deal with.

Didn’t know that, but you are right, nobody actually died directly from radiation related causes at Fukushima. However, deaths from circumstances relating to the evacuation of the area are estimated to be in the thousands (source: wikipedia). I find that that somewhat illustrates the extent to which human lives have been impacted. While a plane crash is a personal tragedy for a number of people and relatives, a nuclear accident feels more like a collective catastrophe.

It does feel a little symbolic that we have reached Z just as we are reaching climate tipping points.

I do mind now. I’m quite bummed out about missing all the fun of the 20th century. And never getting to breathe truly clean air. Or having the athlete body of a gatherer. Messing around in trees with feet that can actually grip something.

Sometimes AI images help me see more clearly what is wrong with our societies. Because, really? That image is connected to this word? I can feel how, but that’s f*cked up.

Since learning about this, I have decided to keep the game installed on my phone in case something wild happens (I’m thinking after witnessing an accident or something). It is sort of comforting to have a scientifically backed up mental strategy that is easily accessible, even if it’s not a lot. I gather that tetris keeps the part of your brain responsible for looping images occupied with, well, tetris.

I see a difference regarding the effects if something does go wrong. A plane crash is no Fukushima.

Not the real thing, but here you go 💜

Thanks, second language. Wheels locking up shouldn’t be an issue with modern cars equipped with an ABS, right?

Help me out, with impact imminent, why is breaking hard the wrong thing to do? I get that it gives the car behind you just as little reaction time which might cause a chain reaction, but the end result appears to be the same to me?
