Except we live in 2025, and we have modern green technology enabling us to do a lot of things differently.

We can get our power from renewables, and newest sodium battery/pumped hydro/thermal storage techniques are brilliant and more eco-friendly than ever. We now have modern green fabrics, hydrogen steel, etc. etc. We now have greener agriculture technologies, as well as efficient biogas collection and utilization. You can even make some polymers, like polyethylene, out of that alone!

We have what it takes to reverse course. But following that path means upsetting fossil giants, while also investing heavily into the infractructure. And right now, it is easier for politicians to ignore the passive crowd than it is to ignore their sponsors. We need to tilt that balance.

It's no use going for collective blame and doomerism.

"We have nobody but ourselves to blame..." yeah, except that guy over there burning coal and guzzling fuel like there's no tomorrow. "The only way is to wipe humanity" ...or do something about it for once.

As long as we're here, no matter how bad it is, we have to step against it in the ways we can. It's not us who makes it so. We don't want that. And it's essential to make it a very clear and loud statement one can not turn away from.

Look up your local climate activist groups. See what can be done. Participate in protests. Do it.

More like complaining about features no one asked for.

Tactile controls are superior, because they can be used without distraction, and the chance of user error is lower.

Besides, they involve less circuitry and are therefore much more reliable.

There absolutely are great uses for large touchscreens, but car control panel is not one.

I see. But sometimes, progress really makes lesser problems than there were before.

We have cheap and generally eco-friendly solar, we install plenty of wind, and now we have a much more ecological way to store the power, too.

The rich care about their profits, and if eco-friendly tech delivers that, they'll be all-in. Some fossil kings will try to stop it, but at this point, this trend is irreversible, because others among the rich are ready to destroy them.

Here's the thing: sodium chloride aka table salt is extremely abundant. We are not expected to run out of it in any measurable timeframe, and the effect of sodium mining on the oceans or ecosystems at large is negligible.

Same cannot be said of lithium, which currently forms the backbone of battery tech. It is rare, and its extraction is extremely polluting. In fact, lithium is responsible for a huge chunk of renewable energy's ecological footprint.

Switching to sodium technology is like switching from silver to sand. It's just one thing we truly have enough of.

It all boils down to whether you believe the art is born in the hands of artists or the eyes of the beholder.

To me, do whatever you please! Marry her, draw rule34, make her a zombie, whatever. The original creation is still there, no one's forcing the unofficial changes. The author is only responsible for the original work.

And Serana herself is just bits of code. Her marrying or not marrying you is all puppeteering either way, and no one gets hurt by that.

More like "Serana doesn't even exist IRL"

sorry fanboys

Linux is exactly where you should go with old computers.

With a proper distribution/DE combination, you can run it on 20+ year old computers with no issue.

But overall, if your laptop runs Windows 10, it will likely run every Linux distribution easily.

Heard of that claim before, but didn't find studies to back it up, so didn't include it here. Won't be surprised if it is true, though

Damn I use the "obsessive compulsive" scheme and I really do have OCD

How do you know?!

TL;DR The most prominent correlation is between pedophilia and CSA victimhood. Survivors are more likely to develop pedophilic tendencies themselves, though most still don't.

Absolutely. Bring justice to chomos!
