You're unrealistically optimistic. The earth will cook us off the face of the planet along with 90% of species. It's starting now and will take a few years to really get moving.

Don't worry, we don't have long enough left to institute an insect food delivery system of any note. Pretty soon the bugs will be eating us.

It's been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

I had absolutely shit parents so no I don't really sound like them. I had the classic "Bad 70's Dad", I couldn't be like him if I tried.

It was sarcasm.

Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?

Because they can't control them at home.

The fix was in on our climate by the 90's, the Co2 levels are above 450 ppm. This doesn't have an equivalent in many millions of years. The effects of heat building is cumulative, the earth still has plenty more room to store heat energy, and we've already put more than enough Co2 in the atmosphere to warm well past 2C. We've got years left, not decades. Wait till food distribution systems break down, that's when it'll hit everyone that this is already a done deal. Things will begin to break down rapidly in the next few years.

 

Everyone's favorite Gen X edgelord teenager finally gave our generation the visibility it deserves. We now have our very own branded shitty alt-right social media space.

Yeah but it's not a fucking city dude, the comments are addressing the hyperbole in the comment.

I wonder kind of damage it's obscuring.

How do you clean your ears, bellybutton, toes? And hopefully in that order. Some stuff needs extra attention, and some people have different skin types than you. Go scrub out your toes.

I remember watching a black comedian many years ago and his bit started "Why don't white people use washcloths?", and it got me thinking. I started using washcloths and noticed I came away cleaner, soap on a hand doesn't cut the skin oils and dirt like soap and gentle abrasion can. I also noticed, because I'm hairy, that I get lots of ingrown hairs, especially on my legs. Switched to one of those "poofs" and now I vigorously scrub my hairy bits and no ingrown hairs. Exfoliating helps.

Use a washcloth and don't forget to brush your tongue, you filthy animal.

 

Uhhh, sure about that figure? I mean, social media certainly doesn't rank high but I don't think a plausible majority would do without the internet entirely, and few would roll back every benefit they receive from it.

This is all required in order to go to a game, all tickets are distributed through the app. There are workarounds, I said I don't have a smartphone, and they allowed it using an mlb.com account. It's tedious. Perhaps this is an indication of what our future looks like, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate modern life without giving up all your data to prying apps, corporations and data brokers. This is just to go to a game, there's no opportunity to print out tickets, show a generated QR code, bar code, nothing. You must have the app to attend a game.

 

Hello, I am a 10 year beekeeper and bee remover. I've taught hobbyists and removers the ins and outs of beekeeping for awhile now, and I've gotten to the point that I feel there's very little that bees have left to teach me. I deal with a more southern climate, not much overwintering, and my bees are partly Africanized, like the local population. I can answer questions about hobbyist beekeeping as well as strategies for removal and relocation. Have a problem you can't quite figure out? Bees being a bit mysterious to you? Having trouble with a particular hive? Want to know more about what gear or woodenware you're working with? Hit me up here!
