Seen a few mentions of ad blocking, but I’ll throw one more option out there - DNS servers that block malware and c2 domains. I use quad9 as the upstream for my pihole, but cloudflare’s 1.1.1.2 is an option as well.

There are a few versions of “pick up card” responses that require the merchant to hold on to the card and contact the issuing bank. I’m not sure if a bank would instruct them to destroy it, probably more likely they’d ask the merchant to hold on to it until law enforcement showed up.

The onion looks like mainstream news, and mainstream news looks like r/collapse. Shit’s getting weird.
I didn’t say there was a solution. Stopping fossil fuels, along with plummeting quality of life, means less global dimming, which would accelerate our impending BOE, and the loss of albedo from that would further accelerate warming. We’re way past any possibility of a solution.
The industrial agriculture that supports our current population is entirely dependent on fossil fuels.
At some point humanity is going to have to face life without fossil fuels, whether that be by a far too late attempt at curbing climate change, or due to climate change/water shortage related reductions in population that reduce production, or just due to dwindling EROI as we have to drill in more difficult places to keep the oil pumping.
A study in the research journal Nature Geosciences concluded that fertilizer made from synthetic nitrogen and ammonia was responsible for feeding more than 50 percent of the global population in 2008 (Kinder Morgan, 2020).
Here’s that study: https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/wps/cato/0028024/f_0028024_22818.pdf
Seems pretty clear that if the use of a finite resource is the only way we can sustain the population - we’re overpopulated. Not to mention that said finite resource is also actively killing us and making agriculture more difficult due to extreme weather.
