overpopulation. The world's population has been skyrocketing in the last hundred years, and health care is keeping a lot of people that would have died earlier alive (whether with on-going care or not..) so now we have the good farming land running out or being developed over, or needing huge amounts of petroleum based fertilizers to farm, and climate change causing tectonic shifts and all these people that is going to see a horrible mass-starvation in the next 50 years. We need to draw a line in the sand and say that not everyone gets to live and the population of each country should be limited to about 10 % of what it presently is considering the parameters in play.

Recycling feels good, but is essentially useless. It doesn't matter if I recycle everything possible when wealthy people take private jets across the globe for a dinner, whole regions of my country still do not believe in climate change and continue using Styrofoam packaging as if it were the *cure* to climate change. Capitalism wants you to take on the responsibility of recycling (regardless of whether it's actually beneficial or not) because that means that they don't have to change anything. McDonald's in Seattle may give the impression that they are "going green" by using paper products, but when McDonald's in Alabama still serves everything in Styrofoam, it's apparent that they are only making regional changes to keep their bottom line steady.

More than likely the river backed into the spring due to flooding. I was at Wakulla recently and it was extremely clear. That being said, climate change leads to more frequent brown outs of springs and can alter spring chemistry (through an increase of storm frequency and intensity). Source: been there, and I’m a hydrologist Edited to add when the water table is low, water from other conduits will be pulled in the direction (high to low hydraulic head) of the spring and can cause more tannic water to come out of the spring, but this will vary depending on aquifer levels. We see that with some of our springs here near Gainesville that sit at a higher potentiometric elevation.

Yes, we should be altering the path and deploying more clean energy. (I'm not claiming JK is interesting in that, although I believe EM is.) But there's no scenario where a great deal of short-term human suffering is avoided without fossil fuels. I'm expecting this winter to be really quite bad for much of the world. Maybe the winter after that too? But certainly this winter. Entire industries are shutting down in Germany because they lack affordable electricity and chemical inputs. And that's WITH Germany buying up all the world's LNG. Developing nations can't afford to import it any more. Very destabilizing. I don't think the 2022 impact of climate change is going to stack up to the impact of 2022 energy-crisis / fertilizer-crisis. Maybe JK doesn't really care about GW, I don't care. Broken-clock being right twice a day. On this point JK regurgitating EM is regurgitating true statements.

I take the philosophical view that we are a higher form of life. Worth preserving. Worth bettering. Human consciousness is for all we know unique in the cosmos. This planet and everything on it is ours. To do with as we please. To exploit how we want. If we are the only thinking beings in the infinity of the universe we owe it to the miracle of creation -that infinitely improbable set of circumstances which resulted in all this blather - to see it through to enlightenment or to the bitter end. If suffering is inevitable then embrace suffering as part of life. A challenge to overcome. All these crises we’ve created we created to test ourselves. I believe we are equal to these challenges. I believe we will pass the test. Live more harmoniously with nature. Reduce the suffering in the world. Create a more equitable system that benefits all humankind. Dying is easy. Living is hard. Hard yet rewarding for those with the mental fortitude to embrace it. There are millions of people who devote their lives to tacking the worlds ills. War. Poverty. Hunger. Disease. Climate change. Worthy people. What is the alternative an idyllic Eden like planet spinning through space trees, birds, animals. Sparkling oceans. Pristine air. No people to witness it. No one to appreciate the wonders the universe has to offer. What a waste. The point of life is to live it. The point of sentience of intelligence and of consciousness is to explore it. Use it. Create. All of the art. Culture. Spiritual and sensual experiences you could ever hope to have came from human progress. Human thought. This nihilistic belief you hold. This fatalistic view of humanity. I reject it. It’s just weak. Weak and wrong.

autism

https://old.reddit.com/r/autism/comments/x2hohz/not_trying_to_offend_or_hurt_anybody_but_i_have/imkf7xa/

I've started to realize it's the neurotypical ableists (everyone "normal") who have pathologised the word "autism" in our current gross culture, and any sort of neurodivergence in general. Most are happy to be in a herd of whatever sickly culture they are in, poor actual morals and faked integrity. Many autistic folks see and feel this for example with the earth and climate change injustices that continue to add to our rising CO2 pipeline and mass extinction of biodiversity. I no longer aspire to agree that the way things are run by the "normal" are even remotely correct or good. Also if you want to start with feeling proud based on what society has sort of celebrated, many inventors and "geniuses" if you will, clearly were autistic and as some would say "gifted". Google for some fun lists to start. But on the other side, autism is truly a spectrum of uniqueness and some have very severe comorbidities and physical daily life is more of a severe struggle, I guess if you are not suffering severely physically maybe feel lucky and find ways to be proud of what your autism might assist you with in terms of passion, focus, fulfillment, and over all what is interesting to you is good enough to be what makes you special perhaps; and saying no more often to things that you learn are stressful to you, even if it is stuff normal people expect you should be able to do. Disappointing them sucks, but masking/aka fixing yourself for them, to go along leads to extreme burn-out. I must perform for my job to support myself, and just resent the societal expectations of a 40 hour 5 day work week. I also dislike confrontation so get stressed when I want to advocate for my needs that are out of "normal" expectations. Also if you have any special interests that there are groups or clubs related to the subject, you might consider pursuing for joy and joining because it can be easier to connect over the subject of a true special interest. You might also bump into a neurodivergent person who could be compatible for future socializing. I get along with other neurodivergent people much more comfortably (I.e. ADHD, other autistic people even if they are not aware they are autistic, etc.) Also if you are on social media, try following some #actuallyautistic people. Also Autism Speaks is not a good site for info and apparently is terrible org.

Still defies the logic of climate change and it is still ignored, you’re just trying derail OP’s original argument to it by trying to make the ice sheet balance an argument on semantics. Earth’s change in temperature occurs over hundreds and thousands of years, regardless of humans existing. The earth’s temperature rose at certain points millions of years ago, then they dropped again, then did the same thing again long before humans, like it is now. You don’t want to admit the way climate change is reported is highly distorted, which was OP’s original point, so instead you attack OP’s choice of words. You’re wrong and have no argument on the topic of the post. Nice try attempting to seem right though.

I’ve been playing D&D for less than a year. You just gotta go big or go home with your premise, and make sure everything has a purpose. It doesn’t matter if the initial idea feels derivative of other media (the whole “what if monsters were good guys?” trope has been done to death in recent years but I went with it), once you start ironing out the details it will feel original on its own. How it started out was: “okay this is gonna be fantasy America. What better way to represent the country’s corrupt politics than with a creature literally built out of lies?” Then I had to answer “How did it come to be?” Well I already had Opal in the works, I knew she was going to be an aberrant mind sorcerer based off of a character from Bug Fables (I wont spoil it because Bug Fables is legit the best game I have ever played surpassing even the legendary Paper Mario: TTYD that it was inspired by, so go play it already please), so I thought “okay, bring her in here, that explains how the thing got there, but what’s the lie being told?” At this point I realized that that a creature caused by irresponsible use of new technology and exacerbated by corrupt politicians denying the problem was a great allegory for climate change, and this is where “go big or go home” comes in. In this case, literally going big. Millions of people per year are already dying from pollution-related causes, and a creature whose size is that of everyone it kills would be terrifyingly massive if it killed over a million people on this scaled-down continent. As for the gimmick of the boss fight itself, knowing what the boss was gonna be several weeks in advance helped me decide on it. In the end I went with “what if the creature just fucking lied about whether or not you hit it?”

It is at best an oligopoly, if not a straight up oligarchy. * "Socialism" the way Westerners use it is a misnomer. (They inevitably mean "authoritarianism"). * Climate change is real and humans are accelerating its course. We're all about to have some serious egg on our faces in the next couple of decades. * News in the US is horseshit, period. Not "left side" or "right side" (although IMO the right is more blatant about not caring that it's horseshit). But compared to other countries, US citizens don't know fuck all about what's going on in the world.

https://old.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/x2n19l/global_warming_will_happen_faster_than_we_think/imkeimo/

>In October, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report setting out why we must stop global warming at 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, and how to do so1. It is grim reading. If the planet warms by 2 °C — the widely touted temperature limit in the 2015 Paris climate agreement — twice as many people will face water scarcity than if warming is limited to 1.5 °C. That extra warming will also expose more than 1.5 billion people to deadly heat extremes, and hundreds of millions of individuals to vector-borne diseases such as malaria, among other harms. >But the latest IPCC special report underplays another alarming fact: global warming is accelerating. Three trends — rising emissions, declining air pollution and natural climate cycles — will combine over the next 20 years to make climate change faster and more furious than anticipated. In our view, there’s a good chance that we could breach the 1.5 °C level by 2030, not by 2040 as projected in the special report (see ‘Accelerated warming’). The climate-modelling community has not grappled enough with the rapid changes that policymakers care most about, preferring to focus on longer-term trends and equilibria. The IPCC is conservative in its predictions. This paper, published in 2018, details the reasons to expect global warming to occur faster than expected. This is related to collapse because global warming on its own can destroy the food system through floods, droughts impacting food production.

Recomment: I liked it because it was a book grounded in my favorite mythologies (Daedalus and Icarus; labyrinth) and weaved them into the main story really well. I find the death of Pan a meaningful scene and a splash of water into the face about the climate change. There was also Percy with the horse stable (another of my favorite myth) and the mountain explosion scene where Percy shows his limits (almost dies using his powers). The Calypso island was a nice break from the realities of the tension between the gods and the titans as well. Main characters (Percy, Annabeth, Rachel, Grover, and Daedalus) that appear in this book all have proper amounts of page time and show their powers in their own ways.it also features Nico and Percy’s conflict. It sets the tone for how strong the Kronos army has become It brings the whole team together in a great plot of double betrayal (Luke and Daedalus) with the labyrinth tying everything together. This book has been referred to multiple times in following series including HOH (Daedalus’s notebook) and TBM (labyrinth)

Has there ever existed a time in the history of the world that one place wasn't extremely hot, anther place wasn't flooded, another wasn't experiencing a drought, when ice wasn't melting somewhere and where there were no fires? The climate has always been changing and that will never change. However your ability to see different parts of the world in real time has certainly changed over the last 20 years. And that's what's got you confused about what's normal and what isn't. What was distal is now proximal, and confusing the heck out of your brain when it comes existential risk. Your world is perfectly ok. Yes weather is changing, always has, and that has always been a threat to humans living in those areas where it changes inhospitably. While you may be scared of the weather, is it not scarier to believe that some people think they can control it? Can you control the weather?

Because they want good publicity from pretending to be green while not wanting to limit profits by actually being green. They only started even pretending once climate change became more mainstream and undeniable. It’s like cigarettes all over again. Companies and even government claim they’re fine while scientists and doctors yell out in unison that they’re terrible for you. Then one day it becomes impossible for government and corporations to deny so they switch over and start making minor changes for good publicity. The only difference is when the switch happened this time, people here just took the side of the fossil fuel companies

Seems like the kind of person who might complain about high energy prices 10 years from now and then vote for a conservative climate change denier because you think they’ll fix it. Making some wild assumptions here, I’m sure you’re a nice person.

Or would you care to imagine a solution where they're able to get the care they need? I wouldn't say that because I don't think they deserve it. It's not that I agree with the system, however that's what we have to deal with. ***The proportion of the population that actually does think this way is unfortunately large enough to stop progress.*** It kind of sounds like you've never had to actually try to convince a large group of people to do the right thing. Like you've literally never actually even tried. ​ >Damn, how did we ever build all those roads, sidewalks, parks, and other public places? Surely that wasn't socialism. You're so fucking scared of republicans that you can't even dream of advocating for yourself. What a pathetic person. I thought I was advocating for myself here. I don't disagree with these efforts, but you can't go around making things unpalatable to everyone. ​ >I understand this feeling very well. It's the principal conservative pillar of "I got mine, fuck you". Climate catastrophe is gonna affect poor people the worst and you can sleep soundly knowing you can continue to ignore them. Are you sure you don't like Tucker Carlson? Cause he does have the same values you're showing here of market solutions where the poor shift more and more money to the top while the problem persists. Just be honest and say that you want EVs because you don't want to have to sit next to poor people and save yourself some time with these replies. No, you don't understand. There's a difference between "I got mine, fuck you", and "I'm trying to do my part." There are things in life that I can control, and there are things that I cannot. Huge infrastructure projects are not under my control. Personal behaviors are. So when I recycle, I don't recycle because "I got mine, fuck you", I do it because I'm trying to do my part. When I conserve water, I don't do it because "I got mine, fuck you", I do it because "This is the thing that I *can* do." I'll vote progressively because that's something under my control. I actually enjoy public transit, particularly light rail, mostly because I really hate driving. I can't take it everywhere though, and it's going to be a long while before the buildout can cover my needs. I just don't see the good in maligning people for wanting EVs because you think it's just because they don't want to sit next to poor people. That's more or less been your schtick from start to finish. Sure, it's a baby step, but those are the steps directly under my control.

It's arguably no less unreasonable than saying BRT is just as good as rail when it factually isn't. So seems like you both made some questionable statements talking past each other. The thing is, all you're really arguing is for a cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy. You use the inevitable consequence of building almost exclusively for the car the past century- everyone being forced to drive- as the reason why no one will ever use anything else, but that's dishonest to me- not least of which because I can look at other nations who didn't do that. As is claiming that building a rail system will be prohibitively expensive, and yet building and rebuilding and rebuilding roads costing trillions of dollars over time won't even be seriously addressed. And it's not like roads haven't had enormous consequences, many of them not exactly positive- pollution, climate change, noise, traffic stress, long commutes, expensive investments in cars themselves, required subsidization especially in areas with low population density, high numbers of traffic deaths, etc. Cars are what we use because it's really all we have and it's the only real system that has received the investment necessary to make it useful on a daily basis. But that's not an honest argument that no other system could ever be useful. So while I don't disagree that roads are here to stay, I completely disagree that they're the only realistic choice in all circumstances and situations, or that they are what we should be exclusively or even mostly focusing on going into the future.

It's because our civilization is collapsing. This doesn't have anything to do with policies or wars. It's not something within the control of governments. It's simple physics: there isn't enough energy on our planet to continue fueling our increasingly energy-intensive lifestyles. And that's not even considering pollution and climate change...

CNBC prophesied global destruction as a result of “human-caused climate change,” based on a study published by a liberal science journal. The journal, of course, omitted any mention of a human impact on climate. “A massive ice sheet in Greenland is set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot by the end of this century, in a melting event driven by human-caused climate change,” CNBC freaked out in an Aug. 29 story. ➖There was just one problem with CNBC’s claim. The original study, published by Nature, never mentioned the words “human,” “people,” “fossil fuel,” “oil,” “gas” or “person” once. So much for “human-caused climate change.” CNBC appears to have arbitrarily inserted that language into its report. Climate Depot founder Marc Morano told MRC Business that fearmongering over the Greenland ice sheet is an old media trick: >Here they go again. When current reality fails to alarm, the media makes scarier and scarier predictions of the future. Hyping another frightening computer model projection of sea level rise is old hat for the media. Nature also endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020, publishing an editorial two-and-half weeks before the election headlined, “Why Nature supports Joe Biden for US president”. The journal whined in support of Biden’s candidacy: >We cannot stand by and let science be undermined. >Joe Biden’s trust in truth, evidence, science, and democracy make him the only choice in the US election. Sounds like Nature is just another rubber-stamp organization for Biden’s extreme green agenda. More recently, it released a propaganda piece celebrating Biden’s $740 billion “Inflation Reduction Act”: €Scientists welcome ‘enormous’ US climate bill — but call for stronger action. On the same day that CNBC published its apocalyptic story, another report came out completely undercutting the eco-doom narrative. The Greenland ice sheet gained seven gigatons of mass in just one day — the largest daily gain ever recorded during the summer, according to Disclose TV’s summary of data from Arctic research institution Polar Portal. ….. The CNBC reporter who wrote the article, Emma Newburger, did not respond to a request for comment on the recent report that the Greenland ice sheet gained seven gigatons of mass in one day.

Pollution is also in the air, which is causing the atmosphere to heat up along with weather patterns to change. Admittedly, a lot of that lower water probably has to do with over use, but climate change from pollution is a contributing factor

Sooner or later automation will displace a large portion of workers in the Western world; Given how governments have failed to act on climate change, it is unlikely that any country is researching ways for the economy to change to maintain economic stability. How do we get competent leadership from government before petty infighting tears our countries to shreds?

Your definition is “I don’t think it’s worthwhile to do, so anyone doing it is “woke” and thus, bad” without any actual facts or evidence either way. Hope you’re also calling Chik-fil-a and Hobby Lobby “woke” because they are making healthcare decisions based on religion, and that’s a social decision. You, my good sir, need to get checked into a mental hospital. You are dangerously stupid. Also, not to bait you, the troll, but “climate change bad” isn’t the argument. The argument is “fossil fuels are temporary and the world is literally on fire and suffering from them, so let’s try to not all be dead in 50 years”. But that’s nuanced so let’s just say “woke is bad

No offense, but your entire comment is full of logical fallacies, some of which are utter nonsense. The climate change argument you make is full of fallacies. First of all is the assumption that socialism is automatically better at dealing with climate change or that similar actions could not be taken while maintaining a primarily capitalist economy. But lets say for sake of argument that I grant you that, then your argument is still a fallacy. We can all probably agree that within the next ten years there is not going to be a global socialist revolution that sweeps away capitalism and all the prior existing governments in the world. believing this would be a delusion, not to mention that massive loss of human life and ecological damages that would inevitably occur. Nor do I think it would be moral for socialists in government to expel, imprison, or execute all opposition parties within government so they could have a dictatorship to enact all their policies unopposed. If you don't believe in those two things then where is the basis of your criticism of social democracy? A lot of this seems like you assume you either would have no opposition or that the people who disagree with you won't be able to vote. The next fallacy of yours has two parts. One, that social democracy cannot exist without the exploitation, as though the lightbulbs in hospitals in Sweden are powered by the tears of African orphans. This criticism seems to be a meme originating from Leninists online that has been accepted by other leftists and mindlessly repeated, based on the assumption that wealth in one place inherently necessitates the extraction of wealth from somewhere else. Which I don't think holds up to the actual economic data. The second part of your fallacy is that social democrats are indifferent to poverty in developing countries, which isn't true. Social democratic parties in organizations such as the Socialist International and the more recently formed Progressive Alliance, both of whom include parties from both developed and developing countries, have long recognized in the declarations of their Congresses the need of cooperation and reform in trade policy to deal with the poor working conditions of workers in developing countries and environment destruction and pollution, and the need of governments in the developed world and developing world to cooperate in order to raise people out of poverty and develop the economy in poor countries. Lastly, yes, we should oppose authoritarianism. If a government shuts down the free press and arrests protesters, that government should be condemned, I don't care what color their flag is. And if this government clings to power by suppression free and fair elections and by using of violence against the civilian population, then it is the natural right of the people to respond with armed rebellion

We’ve been making things with Concrete for at least 1000 years, this seems more to do with newer construction. I think that more governments should do something like the Inflation Reduction Act and allow for retrofitting to make things green. Even if some people don’t want to accept that Climate Change is human caused, we should at least all agree that we’re not exactly helping the issue with our current burning of fossil fuels.

> Most of that is in spite of Ottawa, not thanks to. The way I heard it from my parents, when Alberta started going after the oil reserves, they couldn't get the Feds to help them out in any real manner for creating the infrastructure to extract oil. That may be true, but maybe it's also time to let go of a grudge from 70 years ago (Leduc #1 was 1947). Take lessons from the experience, but realize the grudge is not productive. > Once the industry was running, the feds came in and threw down the national energy program, claiming their chunk of the pie that they wouldn't help bake. Oh good, a 40-year-old grudge. Again, take lessons from it and avoid a repeat, but also get over it. > Further adding insult to industry, with the provincial transfer payments, Alberta has been sending significant money out while exemptions in the calculations get added to things like Hydro(their energy, but not ours), continually putting provinces like Quebec as a "have not" even during periods when Quebec is out-performing Alberta. This sounds like whining. There are always going to be problems since the economy is dynamic, but the fundamental goal of the program is sound. However, if you listen to the rhetoric, people are against the very concept as well. > Then you add the regulations around oil and gas to fight climate change, pipe-line blockages, all that other stuff we fight over, added on top of the collective online opinion more or less being "Look at Alberta putting all their eggs in one basket" any time we have a hard time, but siphoning out disproportionate tax revenue any time we're not, and it results in the feeling: You mean, the necessary regulations to stop the oil/energy from killing everyone, and ignoring all the subsidies and advantages they also enjoy? You were happy to point out the special treatment Quebec Hydro gets federally, but let's not pretend that oil gets some sweet deals provincially and even federally too. It's hard to take your position seriously when it is cherry-picking so hard. > You can disagree with any individual point, but at the end of the day, low cost of living, high salaries, strong economy, good health care? That's all provincial. Good health care? You can't seriously believe what Alberta has qualifies as "good", even if it happens to be better than other provinces. Good is an absolute measure, not a relative measure. Even if Alberta is "best" (which I very much doubt), it doesn't mean it is "good". > Being unable to get our oil to sea, being 1 of only 2 provinces that on average pays in to transfer funding(Even during massive oil+gas recessions), I'm happy that Alberta is doing so well relatively that we can still help people other provinces out, even when we are off our own peak. What kind of mindset thinks otherwise? "Everyone's doing badly, but because we're also going through a tough time locally even though everyone else is suffering even more, we're going to stop helping out". Um, no. >and having pipeline companies bailing from the province due to resource extraction red tape(That the feds picked up to soften the blow)? That all originates federally. That's a very simplistic breakdown of why pipeline companies "bailed". Having Keystone cancelled on the US side is one giant thing you are ignoring, for example. > Then our province votes massively conservative, and still gets slapped with Liberal policies. I mean, you just finished listing out a whole set of things that were provincial and not federal. You can't play the "federal government runs our lives" card and the "Alberta is super successful despite the federal government" cards in the same game. > At the end of the day we don't receive very much at all from the Federal government, the majority of their policies are neutral at best and harm our provincial economy at worst, and our votes mean essentially nothing. The full extent of the Federal Government's interaction with Alberta can be boiled down to "Take money, provide a couple services not equal to the money taken, demand compliance with opposing political party laws" You apparently don't understand money or government budgets if you think governments fund programs from taxes and transfer payments. Also "laws" aren't "opposing political party" things either. And not all Albertans view the federal government as the "opposing politcal party" either, although I didn't vote for them last go around. Arguably, I have even less federal representation than you because my MP does not represent my views and NEVER has. > If we could hypothetically take the entire land mass of Alberta, delete all of the surrounding Canadian provinces and just have direct access to port and a trade agreement with the US, can you think of even a single way we would be worse off that isn't "Conservatives are bad and we'd vote for them", or "I like vacationing to BC"? We'd lose EI and various other social services, but long-term? We'd have more money net by re-establishing those to only cover ourselves. This is such a stupid hypothetical that it's not even worth discussing. "What if the planet were different?" or "What if everything since 1867 happened a different way" is a non-starter. However, if you think Alberta independence is a real or beneficial thing, you're kind of...well, so wrong and misinformed about so many things that it's effectively impossible to have a useful discussion with you. >The Feds also definitely do not back-stop us during recessions, so that doesn't change. I must have missed the part where things like the BoC interest rate is set differently for Alberta... > I could be ignorant, but I am not aware of a single thing the Feds do for us that is a net positive or cheaper to be done Federally than it would be Provincially. If you ever find yourself making a statement like "I'm not aware of a single thing", it's very likely that the problem is your lack of awareness or your bias blinding you to something. I am not a fan of Kenney, Trump, or Harper, but I could find something that each of them did well. However, I'll admit I'd be hard-pressed to find something positive to say about Smith.

Either that or we return to Uranium mining, which locals also reject because of fears surrounding radiation. NIMBYism is intolerable due to climate change happening and hurting people in real life now. The longer this is tied up in the courts, the more locals will suffer as their access to cars made with such materials remains limited. At least until Nevada stops screwing around, lets the mine happen, and makes Californians pay for it with suitable upgrades to the nearby railroad line (which has been studied by NVDOT for a while; and is part of their most recent state rail plan).

Temperature is a bigger issue, drastic changes will warp the neck. If you keep it stored in the hard case and keep your van a "livable" temperature, it will minimize the issues. I've taken my custom shop P-bass all over the world without any issues, other than some occasional action/truss adjustments after flying. I suggest learning to do your own set-ups, if you're going to travel a lot! Hollow body or acoustics are a different story though. You'll need to properly manage the moisture if you're traveling through different climates. You can buy humidifier packs designed for this as well. There are even hard cases with humidity management built in. Temperature changes can also contribute to cracking. I've owned two >$4,000 upright basses, and both were damaged by climate changes. I don't own uprights anymore lol.

Yes we have. Before climate change it was "global warming", before that it was "acid rain", before that it was "next ice age", before that it was "the hole in the ozone layer". We've been dealing with a forever collapsing climate for centuries. London had a mini ice age that lasted for a few years and then had a few years of extra hot weather. We have actual records of these things happening. Climate collapse is something we've been flip flopping on for decades.

We literally saw one side launch a terrorist attack on the US Capitol in an attempted coup egged on by Trump and yet there are still people who use this "both sides" bullshit. We see one side that is against public education. One side that are climate change deniers. One side that doesn't want poor people to have any health care. One side that is against reproductive rights. One side that does everything they can to suppress voting. I could probably spend hours writing about the vast differences between Democrats and Republicans. Once again, people who use the "both sides" bullshit are either ignorant on the issues or are spewing what they know to be bullshit to push an agenda.

What happened is that the ultra low interest rate environment pulled a lot of demand forward; at a cost that we are now experiencing, and will continue to do so into 2024 unless they jack rates past 5% (doubtful). What you are hinting at is stagflation, which is exactly what we will get instead of a depression; assuming the job numbers stay healthy and the fed doesn't move the rates past 5%. Past performance won't necessarily equal future gains. Historically, you are correct but we are are an inflection point. There are many macro economic factors you may not be seeing including the USD as a reserve currency, the yield curve (take a look at 2y and 10y treasury yields), unfunded liabilities and demographic shifts. That isn't even taking climate change into account which will affect regional real estate markets in the coming decades. Personally, I play the long game and the region I have invested in will be poised to take advantage of people flocking there from climate change. It ain't Texas, thankfully. What I meant by a "real slowdown" is that we've only hit the tip of the iceberg from a "high" rate environment. I have friends in the mortgage underwriting business, this isn't 2008 but we will see people have more options with sellers giving even more incentives to buyers. Yep I noticed they reduced the price from 649k and then it sold. Bad example on my part. The buyers who will really have good options are the ones with stellar credit who come in with a DU. Are there penalties for sellers who decide not to sell after offers come in? I think the prices will be sticky for a bit until sellers realize higher rates will stick around.

Why? You aren't open to different philosophies on how to combat climate change? Maybe you're thinking in the context of the United States, but don't look at this like US politics. Look at the political realm I'm talking about as having more than two parties. Simply. It's not a bad thing for a topic to be political. Quite the opposite, and I imagine much more gets done through legislation than anything else. Edit: "why are you booing? I'm right." What an eco chamber this shit is.

Yes, absolutely, 100%. You maybe believe in the sincerity of your own individual faith, but as an institution there is nothing credible or sincere about the beliefs of white evangelicalism. I was raised my whole life in white evangelicalism. The sincerity of your faith extends to the power you wish to hold over others via politics. I left evangelicalism years and years ago, but last year I read a book called White Evangelical Racism that really goes into the history of how evangelicalism in America has existed to exert power toward white supremacist and patriarchal structures and maintain wealth and political control. I know you won’t, but I suggest you read it! Even here, you’re more concerned with your own sense of offense that someone insulted your religion rather than, say, the dying planet vis a vis climate change, all life forms dying, disaster and death for billions of people, etc, which is what this post is about. You will know them by their fruits, et al. Not sure what to make of people who deny science at the expense of other people’s lives (and our planet’s future) and defend the wealthy over the poor and the powerful over the marginalized. Seems like rotten fruit to me. I would never ever say “you’re not a real Christian” about someone who calls themselves one. I will say that is certainly not how I would express Christ to the world.

Honestly, at this point, climate change deniers deserve hell. How could you? I wasn’t an avid climate change believer in that I knew it exist since I was like in Middle school learning about it in school. Until each year, I’d see the figures people claimed and warned about years ago, actually exceeding what was expected. Each year summer gets hotter to dangerous degrees. I live in the northeast and literally people can’t live. People are sweating 24/7 in dangerous extends, the subways are full of sweats, and i don’t think we can bear the uncomfortableness much more. This isn’t about ‘Liberals’, this is science. Even religious scholars, atleast Christians anywhere but America, Muslims, Jews all believe the value of taking care of our planet and the destruction society is causing it cus we are actually facing the reality of it. Antarctica is in shit conditions, wild fires keep getting more prominent, ice glaziers melting and other HORRIBLE realities of the consequences of not acknowledging the shit condition our planet is in.

Fun Fact: There is NOT enough free nitrogen in the world to support life as we know it. It was only after scientist realized the amount needed vs the amount in bird poop (primary source for free nitrogen) that efforts were made to synthesize and release more nitrogen in to the world. About 40% (or more) of the nitrogen in the world today is man made/produced. How's that for 'climate change'?

Location: Western US **Food** Red Hen is going to die. The bird who has been eating all the other hens' eggs cannot avoid the stew pot much longer. After searching three grocery stores for pearl onions without success, I managed to find them in the frozen food section of the Asian grocery store for $4 for a 12 ounce bag. Unfortunately, it's too hot to serve that bird this week, so we may have her clucking around for another week before my wife gets out there and serves up Hen's death warrant with extreme prejudice. I managed to find affordable potato chips at Target this week. We got three bags for less than $6. I don't understand how _actual_ grocery stores are unable to stock food while the place where I pick up $12 graphic T-Shirts is sick with chips. Our plum tree had a good amount of fruit on it this year, but it didn't truly get ripe until mid August. I love plums, but I'm now eating about 3-6/day, and I'm sad to say that I'm kinda getting tired of them. Utah's recent heat wave is [impacting home vegetable gardens](https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2022/08/18/utah-heat-climate-change-vegetable-gardens-food-prices). All the peppers I've picked here at home this year have had some kind of heat damage. The cucumbers haven't been faring much better. My wife's pumpkin patch looks like a horror show two months before Halloween. We're usually sick with tomatoes by August, but not this year. We got a dozen tiny cherry tomatoes off of three plants yesterday. **Habitat** Valley Fever is [on the rise in the California Central Valley](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/29/california-valley-fever-disease-climate-crisis).

The VC Country Fest in Valley Center, CA [is "cancelled die (sic) to extreme weather"](https://imgur.com/5pKSvnT). That was going to happen this Saturday, but the National Weather Service has posted an Excessive Heat Warning for the area, and the temperature is supposed to hit 103°F (39.4°C). Where I'm from, that's a typical summer temperature. When we went to the fair this year, it was around 104°F. I guess the good people of metropolitan San Diego could die if exposed to those temperatures. We're expecting to blast past 103° this weekend, however. We may break records Saturday through Tuesday. Good thing my wife got all the green funk out of the pool. I plan to knock back a suitcase of light beer and hang out in the pool over the next week to try and beat this heat. **Social** Masks are increasingly unfashionable to wear in public. I haven't gotten any rude comments lately, but I can sense a lot of bad energy off of people who see me wearing one. Even the Asian grocery store, where the shoppers have previously been assiduous with their mask compliance, had way fewer than half of their shoppers wearing masks last week.

Say what you will about the federal and state government response to COVID, at least 10 million people weren't forced into the streets en masse in the oppressive heat. **Economic** We got the class schedules for my youngest this week. They've been put into a class of 43 students. I'm _hoping_ they plan on hiring another teacher at their grade level, but I guess we'll find out. At the beginning of the pandemic, I bought a #8 clipper guard and have been cutting my own hair. This week, however, is the first time since February 2020 that I got my hair cut professionally from the place on the corner. The price of a cut has increased from $10 to $17 (it was cheap before, I'm not complaining about the increase). But my usually ebullient hair cutter had a really negative, tense energy around her. I'd worried that they wouldn't be able to stay in business, and the energy she was giving off made me worry that they're barely surviving.

Republicans are doing it on purpose cause they want to privatize education across the board. How is anyone going to be able to afford said education when most people cannot afford basic necessities as it is? And why are dems not fighting harder for teachers? This is truly absurd. Capalitism is a fucking cancer on this country. I don't know what we should replace it with, but clearly captalism is not meant to help the collective good. In fact it often works against it. We can't get any real traction on climate change cause of big oil "donations", can't get healthcare for everyone cause of big pharma and medical interests lobbying and buying politicians, can't have peace with other countries cause military indulstrial complex has made war their buisness models, can't get safe water cause our goverments are more concerned with fake problems like who goes in which bathroom, pronuns, and medical descions for private citizens, can't raise wages in this country cause the billionares will be only able to afford 4 mansions in the hamptons instead 7.

It's a combination, and can become a vicious or virtuous cycle. Our elected officials are supposed to show **leadership**, right? There's many things Republican officials could do to (gradually) change the opinion of their constituents, or to 'claim' ideas that would go with standard Republican themes, but help the environment; instead, they've helped move their base even more towards idiocy. Nuclear power, for example, could make a lot of money for big companies, and it's not a Democratic position. They could move from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 :). They could be pushing for wind power, since it would help rural areas. Even electric cars ... Big oil has tons of money, but I bet you big electricity does too :) Don't get me wrong, there's lots of blame on the idiots who vote them in, but Republican politicians have shown leadership on **denying** climate change rather than try to fix it.

Here in CA it costs less than half to go 300 mi on electricity. You will find cherry picked posts, but generally it's about half. This means you have to justify the EV price with something else, gas alone will not make up the difference. Climate change, performance, time savings, etc. TOC is generally better with an EV of the same performance and luxury level.

I go back to my main point. People considering moving to this area need to do the research and math and consider what is important to them and make sure they understand the trade offs (every place has them). I lived in a HCOL city for 12 years before I moved back to this area. For most of that time I lived in apartment buildings because single family houses were all ~$1M. I considered buying a condo but the costs freaked me out. Many people who lived there couldn’t afford to even consider it. Eventually I was sick of living there because I lived in a tiny box with annoying neighbors and did what I said above and decided that the trade offs worked for me. Now I live in Ohio and I’m happy with it. On the flip side, I hope people who are in positions of authority regionally note everything you say here because addressing these things will be important for long term growth. Just telling everyone our housing is cheap and we won’t be as hot because of climate change is not enough to convince people to move here.

A lot of it depends on if you're convinced Snowpacalypse from two winters ago is going to be a regular climate-change feature in Texas or if we just lucked out this past winter. Traditionally speaking I go most winters not wearing more than a medium-heavy jacket and maybe a beanie. You don't really need a scarf or long johns, and unless you wear sandals during the winter months you probably don't need heavy wool socks either. We're more likely to be wearing shorts on Christmas than to need to bundle up like the Michelin Man on any given day the entire winter.

Your brain is having a brain fart. There's no guarantee a kid won't die before you and leave you with the crap anyway. And children are not your caregiving slaves. No one person can do it, so unless in the next few years you can pump out roughly around 20 kids, and send them all to school to be doctors and nurses and surgeons and pharmacists and anesthesiologists, etc., who can then take 24 hours shifts to care for you... you're gonna need to be in a nursing home with a full time staff. YOu need a day staff, an evening staff, overnights, weekends, etc. No one person can do everything for you 24/7. People need time for their own lives, to get sick, get cancer, need caregiving themselves, take vacations, etc. It requires a full shift-staffing model. This one of the biggest things that these idiot breeders miss: They think one or two of even 5 kids are enough, and that they don't require any professional training. That's not even remotely true. Besides which, we're about to have to live in a broiling hellscape of climate change, your tchotches are not going to matter in 30 years. You'll be burning the furniture to cook on. ;)
