I WISH TO DANCE ON SKATES

[scaredyclassic]

[quote=JPJones][quote=scaredyclassic]Wow. It’s fun.

I think I’m gonna get some skates and skate all the time.[/quote]
Heck yeah! Start doing squats and get a bosu ball to work on ankle strength when you’re home daydreaming about a good skate while all the rinks are closed. Ice skating is my zen thing, but knees and hips are prone to injury without at least a little conditioning.[/quote]

going round and round in circles, hour after hour, till midnight, music on, people weaving in and out, felt like I was in an altered state.

People hate any change. Just asking people to give up cars and meat isn’t quite mud huts …

It’s all so sick.

they begin to see it

The percentage of greenhouse gases from meat alone not dairy contributing to global warming is disputed but the UN says 15percebt. Others say considerably higher…25-30 percent. Google meat and global warming. Not an obscure topic. Dairy is a fucking nightmare.

Simple to stop it all instantly. Just….stop…

[quote=flyer]Yes, Scaredy, I think most of us who are aware of the issues facing the future of our earth are trying to do all we can as individuals, but, until ALL of the major players, per the link below, globally, are on board and are taking action to make changes, our individual efforts will remain a drop in the bucket. That said, we all have to keep trying.

Really? Doing all we can do? Really?

MARC maron riffing on the subject, “we did everything we could”. pretty funny.

not one less airplane trip. gotta get to europe, before the world ends.

It is absolutely immoral to eat any meat or dairy at this moment in time.

while you’re down there, if you want to stay in downtown, I recommend Citizen M hotel. Very hipster and very very clean. I especially liekd iron Heaven (not a gym0.

[scaredyclassic]

since we all know this, it would seem like we’d all be driven to some form of radical action, since we probably have people who will survive us in the fuutre we give a shit about, but surprisingly, we only care about ourselves and our small pleasures in the present moment, so onwards to more steak, dairy gas and environmental destruction for bigger houses, bigger lawns, bigger cars, more for us now to enjoy and nibble away so that the entire system dies with us or shortly thereafter.

Hooray for us. We are all little Trumps.

Plenty of 35$ Tix. He is a really good storyteller. Netflix specials of prior shows are great too

[quote=gzz]I like pet rabbits. You can buy them for $5 and feed them veggie scraps and let them trim your lawn. They keep the grass short rather than destroy it. Bulk rabbit food is just hay pellets and leftover middlings from processing of corn and wheat. It costs $10 per 50lb bag. They require no vaccinations and fixing them is only $20-50 for males. Females are about $200 and that’s the only big expense.

So cheap environmentally friendly.[/quote]

Vegan pet. Only way to go.

When this civilization falls it will be an incredibly short period of time before there is almost no trace it existed.just a little sliver in the geologic record.

Have you ever heard of the 10000 year clock?

https://www.10000yearclock.net/learnmore.html

Cool engineering project in remote desert to build a desert clock that will outlast the destruction of everything you know as us.

Difficult task…the earth tends to swallow everything

“Welcome to the 10,000 Year Clock website
We are building a 10,000 Year Clock. It’s a special Clock, designed to be a symbol, an icon for long-term thinking. It’s of monumental scale inside a mountain in West Texas. The father of the Clock is Danny Hillis. He’s been thinking about and working on the Clock since 1989. He wanted to build a Clock that ticks once a year, where the century hand advances once every 100 years, and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium. The vision was, and still is, to build a Clock that will keep time for the next 10,000 years. I’ve been helping Danny with the project for the last half dozen years. As I see it, humans are now technologically advanced enough that we can create not only extraordinary wonders but also civilization-scale problems. We’re likely to need more long-term thinking.”

Weirdly I agree with scaredy and phaster (mostly weird that I’m agreeing with scaredy)

AN specifically for you, I’m linking my favorite essay. I know it’s a bit of a read, maybe 30 minutes, but I re-read it every few years. This nails it!

Phaster, I make no sure and certain claim when fusion, or if fusion is our energy future. I just see no viable path forward without it. You and I seem to agree on water, it’s just that water is a subset of energy availability. Currently oil still has the best EROEI, but has nasty long tail costs. In fact all current energy sources except geothermal have those costs, especially nuclear. My biggest fear about nuclear power is that it dovetails so cleanly with human capacity for short term thinking at the cost of long term environmental health.

Back to water. My preference would be a combination of restrictions on usage, raising of prices and outright banning of growing certain crops. Almonds for export are the poster child, but in CA rice and cotton should never be grown either. Market forces by themselves will not stabilize or assure food availability or the survival of civilization in a desert.

Frankly I disagree with almost everything I think within a couple days.

Pet food sucking up us water

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/100423-pet-food-water-footprint

Take the indirect water cost of feeding the dog. Per dollar of pet food, 140 gallons (530 liters) of water are used indirectly in the production process, for a total of 200 gallons (757 liters). Water is needed to produce the meat and cereals that go into making the pet food, said study co-author Michael Blackhurst, whose research was published in February in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

The exploitation of animals for human needs is bad and may kill us

[quote=an][quote=scaredyclassic]Dog meat high end shepherd cuts are up 40 perc from last year[/quote]
I hear organic bitter melon beat it and went up 66% and organic durian is up a whopping 125%[/quote]

well, yeah, but meat is a necessity, like air and water. Can’t live without a decent slab of dog meat every day. Unhealthy.

i kind of relate to alex jones. we work ourselves up into believing the things we say. trial lawyers call it “trial psychosis”.

[scaredyclassic]

[quote=sdrealtor]By definition lawyers think they are always right. It’s the job description yet as we’ve seen here worse than a coin flip[/quote]

I’m not sure that’s accurate. More like, confidently assert your client’s desired outcome to others as if it is incontestably correct, regardless of what you think, while telling your client the position is nuts.
