Yes, the climate crisis is a huge problem, probably the biggest mankind has ever faced. Everyone should do everything they can to try to minimize it (I sure am).

You’d say it started going downhill in 2019 or 2016 ? /s

There is good news though: climate literacy is going up, more and more people realized everyday throughout the world. It hasn’t really reached the political level in most countries but I see a trend of countries taking more and more action against climate change. Of course we are not there yet, but we could be in the future. This is not to say that “the climate” is not worsening, but there are improvements here and there. I truly believe humanity will make it, likely not with the same population count but still. Life on earth is almost guaranteed to survive, it has lived through worse than that. It has to get worse for people to really realized and act against it.

Climate change is one thing, but it’s not “ALL”, there are many metrics by which the world is getting better all the time.

All in all though, and I think it’s the most important: doomer talk is not helping at all, it demoralises people, and it prevents them from acting, if people believe we are done for, why would they make any effort ? Why would they try to fix it ?

Seeing the strong word you have about the climate crisis, I can only imagine you are doing everything you can to minimize it, are you ?

🎶It’s get.ting bet.ter all the ti-i-ime

I have to admit. it’s getting bet.ter

A little bet.ter all the time (can’t get noo worse)🎶

I’ve seen this argument so many time… It’s not going downhill, we are just getting older, we understand the problems of the world better, we are more informed, we watch the news and we start to have that nostalgia feeling that it was better before. It was not ! The world is getting better for so many metrics, sure there are issues, there always has been, it’s not perfect. Sure there are localized places where it’s temporarily getting worse ( the US might currently be living through a rough time, but it will pass).

Overall, it’s getting better all the time. We are currently living the best time in history so far. Millions of new stuff to discover, infinite access to the cumulated knowledge of mankind. More democratic country than ever, famine is getting down overall, health is getting better too. Poverty is decreasing too.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t do anything to try and make it even better, we definitely should do everything we can, there is still a lot to do to make it the best world possible. But please stop with this constant whining about the past. It was not better, you simply didn’t know any better in the past, and your memory of the past is tainted because your brains actively choose to erase bad stuff and only remember good stuff (this is a real human brain unconscious behaviour, look it up).

If you look inside (even using magic ability), it will be predicted and then it will be empty. It will be even harder for you not to look.

Where’s the house ?

I guess I would be closest to “the prog purist”, though I love power metal, and other subgenres too, so I could also be in the “it’s all metal” category.

This list seems to be incomplete, there are other metal fan archetypes

I beg to differ; you can definitely have that society; proof is: we are currently living in it!

:-D that’s actually funny. Keep it up, ignore the people that don’t understand satire and downvote.

Even knowing that Disney made Tarzan, Jane doesn’t “feel” like a Disney princess.

You know who feels like a Disney princess but isn’t ? Anastasia !

The “Holopeve” sounds like the newest tech device which is going to financially fail and be buried after a couple years of hype.

“The Holopeve is the future of gaming” “With the Holopeve, people will never walk the same as before” “Preorder your Holopeve now”

Jane is considered a disney princess ?

Exactly.

Soo… everyone is giving you advice to help you “overcome” this tendency. I disagree with them all ! First of all I am the same as you, but I have come to realise that finishing projects doesn’t fulfill me or bring me any joy. Quite the opposite, when I finish a project, the end of the project is very boring, a lot of work, and once done I just feel empty and drained, I’m just glad I can finally stop. What brings me joy though is starting a project, learning new stuff required for that new project, all that initial phase of the project is the best feeling, I’m hyper focused, I’m in a trance-like state, I have millions of ideas and thoughts about it, then once I figure out how to do it, I slowly abandon it and I don’t want to finish it and that’s ok, I’m happy because I’m doing the best part (imo): learning how to do it, figuring it out, proof of concept.

If you are like me, don’t listen to all the people pushing you to finish, they don’t get it. Do what you like. We don’t have to be productive in all our endeavours, just having fun while it lasts is ok.

Hypothetical GOD created the earth 5k years ago, in that case dogs only appear to be tamed wolf, but are really created by god. Besides, if we are allowed magic, anything can be true

“Shite” is slang for “shit”

Scots would find that hilarious, as I’m writing it I realised maybe you are yourself from scotland

I find it hilarious that most people in this thread are complaining about being called a “something vegan”, like I can understand not being happy with the current AI trend, but it seems like the word “vegan” is what makes everyone ticks, it’s NOT an insult, the “normal” vegan are very happy to be called like that, because what it refers too is something that they agree and identify with. If you agree and identify yourself with what those journalist are calling “AI vegans”, the name doesn’t matter, embrace it, call yourself that to easily express what you believe about AI.

Vegan is not an insult, it is a compliment.

This is a very valid question to ask. The answer is “sorta”, but only when you remove the weights.

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know him, and the video was really great.

We could be looking at the stairs from underneath.

You meant vertical I think, but get it, this order makes sense even though it wasn’t my first instinct
