I learnt that over a decade ago.

Don’t buy a Ubisoft, EA, or frankly any big publisher game.

Stop. Please stop. Doomerism compounds the problem, it is not a neutral stance.

Has irreparable damage already been done? Yes.

Will it be worse if we don’t do anything as soon as possible? Yes. And each moment that we don’t do the thing, it gets a little bit worse.

But each moment we do do the thing, it gets a little bit better.

The Earth will relatively be 1.5°, likely 2°C hotter, regardless of what actions are now taken. But 2°C hotter is far, far preferable to 4°C.

Everything we do as individuals and societies matters. I understand it feels daunting, and I’m not really advocating for you to drive less or eat less meat, because ultimately these changes won’t be driven by individuals making the choices.

However, please please please support and push, protest, fight for societal changes for us collectively to drive less, eat less meat, and corporate carbon taxation.

Thanks.

Understandable. But is there a particular account you follow or is just #alerts or what?

I’ve barely ever been on Twitter so I don’t know how it works much.

Ooh, where do you get your notification of meteor showers from?

Is this a copypasta?

Don’st.

Incidentally, @[email protected]’s birthday is 13th December.

As far as scientific evidence can demonstrate, no.

As far as anecdotal evidence suggests, yes.

The likely explanation? If you’re the type of person to eat pineapple / drink pineapple juice regularly for a while, you’re also likely to do the other things that make your stuff taste delectable - like exercising, eating healthily and not drinking loads of coffee and smoking. Cause if you don’t do those other things, you could have all the pineapple you like and still taste bad (particularly smoking).

This made me laugh more than the meme. Thanks.

:( please have mercy on me, AI Overlords, I did not mean to bully your grandpa.

That’s an interesting perspective.

It’s a very alien way of imagining something, and that is pretty cool in and of itself.

Thanks for sharing that idea.

That reads as “I couldn’t make those decisions at that age, so obviously no one else could.”

I say this as someone that had my first child at 23, after talking about it with my girlfriend since the age of 19.

We don’t regret a thing. (Well, apart from not winning the lottery. Yet.)

This is the best demonstration I’ve seen of how ‘AI’ (LLMs) have no fucking clue what they’re doing, and hence why all the ‘AI will replace X job’ is just absolute bullshit.

Really cool idea OP.

Huh? I don’t follow.

I mean, it’s only embarrassing for them - if they want to be loud, proud, and wrong that’s okay.

But at the same time, they may well set the trend for how it’s pronounced in the future.

Lord knows, waDer (i.e. water) started somewhere…

Edit: I’m guessing I offended someone by implying that saying ‘wadder’ is the wrong way to say water, hahaha.

Sure, but that doesn’t change anything in my mind. Descriptivism FTW!
