“Nice guys finish last” tends to be something /r/niceguys like to say.

Think about it my man, by making this statement you’re implying that nice guys ought to get the girl, and that’s just not how life works, or how girls work.

Don’t try to be a nice guy or a bad boy or anyone - just figure out how to be your best self.

If you still think that being your best self is rescuing abused girls then you’re still doing it wrong.

This is so pathetic.

Great leaders are honored by their people. They don’t need to honor themselves with these baubles.

Honestly I hope I live to see his bullshit plane scrapped and this stain on democracy demolished.

Oh please. It’s like you didn’t even read my comment. Your claim may be “true” but it’s precisely what governments and polluters want you to be thinking and saying. “I personally can’t do anything about this.”

I guess it’s subjective.

Sure, climate change is starting to have an impact and more people might die due to malnutrition which is related.

My predictions within 5 years are something like :

• intensifying weather events like floods, storms, cyclones / hurricanes, to a point where insurance becomes a real unavoidable problem, putting trillions of dollars of real estate at risk.
• intensifying weather events like droughts where some traditionally viable agricultural areas no longer are, maybe a 10% reduction of arable land in any given region.
• localised famine events generating a few hundred thousand climate change refugees per year.
• increasing commercial interest in arable land in regions less likely to be impacted, farm values doubling in some areas
• increasing political interest in arable land in these same regions, with escalating political tension

I think societal collapse is still a decade away at least. However, the poor and impoverished are certainly going to start to feel the burn.

On the one hand I have a left leaning progressive mind set and have with young children - I’m heavily motivated to try to change our trajectory. On the other hand I’m 43 years old and I don’t remember a period where people weren’t predicting societal collapse in 5 years.

Climate change is bad. Mass extinctions, severe weather events, and famine, are all a certainty in the coming years. However, this needs to be balanced by technological advancements that are going to mitigate the effects. Just as an example, we can produce more food from less land than ever in history.

ex-fucking-zaccly.

Don’t like inclusion and welcome-to-country? I know a place …

I’ve been mulling over a kind of dickhead exchange in recent months.

There’s plenty of Americans who are just normal people, who might be considered “the radical left” at home. We should create a special class of visa for them.

In exchange, we could send them our own home grown wankers.

I’d never heard of the XY Problem before.

I get it - big opportunity to waste lots of time.

However, while I’ve never posted a question on stack overflow or similar, a common complaint is that it’s a toxic community because of responses related to this problem - a user asks about X and is accused of asking about Y and most responses undermine the premise being question Z.

I have been fiddling with trying to build a Dockerfile and container

Haven’t they already announced what he’s going to do? I heard it on a podcast in February or something, I’m not sure I remember. Maybe running as vice president to someone else and then that someone else resigning. IDK.

Not sending our best and brightest.

The stupidity of these people is breath-taking. I can’t find it within myself to feel sorry for them honestly. I feel sorry for the children of these morons I guess.

Old mate that voluntarily became cannon-fodder is sadly just too stupid to be allowed to draw breath. My knowledge of russia is meager to say the least but even I know their military operations run on fresh meat.

I disagree.

I dont think its particularly likely there will be famines in the next 5 years or so on a scale that can’t be countered by aid.

Sure, economies might start to feel some very serious consequences, shit might start to get very real, I just dont think we’re quite at the point where people start dying.

Imagine if one day there was an investigation into everything that was done and the instigators were prosecuted.

This is like the “both sides” argument in politics.

It resonates with people and encourages apathy supporting the status quo.

Its true that the actions of an individual aren’t very impactful. Its also true that large corporations are responsible for the vast majority of the problem.

However, if no one bought products from those companies, or owned their shares, then they would exist.

While “no one” is not possible, what if everyone just used 5% less, or 5% of people switched to an “ethical” 401k / pension funds that didn’t invest in these companies.

We dont need a few people doing climate mitigation perfectly, we need everyone doing climate mitigation imperfectly.

It sounds like such a small change, yet we’re unable to achieve it.

For example, here in Australia our conservative party is presently trying to discard our pathetic carbon emissions targets saying they’re unachievable.

That’s nuts. It kinda looks like a lot of those houses are in the process of sliding off the cliff.

You’re laboring under the common misconception that enticing windows and macos users is the objective. It’s not.

For anyone involved in any FOSS project (linux or otherwise), your objective is to make your project the best it can be. In this context the endless variety of distributions and their philosophies is a great strength.

I’m sure most plugs have identical features.

I love watching politicians try to understand the internet.

VPNs have loads of vanilla use cases.

It would be infinitely more productive to regulate the predatory practices of stream providers and reduce the incentive for piracy.

Amazing.
