The generation that is most aware of climate change and social justice, that wants a more free and equitable society for all? The generation that's had to watch the decline of Western powers through unrelated capitalism? That generation lacks foresight?

Truly one of the takes of all time

Also generational strife is horseshit propaganda to keep us distracted from the class war so maybe keep the pro-billionaire propaganda to yourself

the spacecraft doesn't immediately lose all the celestial relative velocity just by going into space, it's still moving extremely fast:

  • with the sun and earth through the galaxy
  • with the Earth around the sun
  • and is still affected by Earth's gravity, just now it's able to counter Earth's pull with a faster motion pulling it outward, so it balances out to appear weightless

Just by going into orbit and counterbalancing the Earth's gravity with rotational velocity doesn't mean it's not still moving extremely fast relative to the stars

wow a Unison comment on the wild! What kind of stuff have you done with it?

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Eh kind of but just don't buy anything and you'll be fine. And read the actual literature and studies out there

like a pretty hot take backed by the science, there are much better bioaccumulators than comfrey

I don't think society across the whole planet will collapse, short of a nuclear war in which case gold won't help one bit

Much more likely that certain areas will experience famine, war, disease, and reduced access to medicine.

Really the best bet is to be able to be mobile if an area has a significant decline you can move to where it's better

Finally, the last piece to stop using Google Drive

Absolutely agree. I know much more about operating systems and software that the average person, and I've only been able to handle a number of Bazzite issues with Kagi Assistant. Trying to find how to fix something on forums and regular search is extremely time intensive.

Of course keep in mind that if you're messing around with your OS you might just screw something up and have to reinstall, but so far I've not had anything even close to that. Bazzite seems to be pretty hard to break.

Really for me, Linux only became fun once I started using chat tools to help me learn how to make it do everything I wanted. And I've been using Linux off and on for work and at home for twenty years. It's just sometimes really arcane, and the differences between opensuse, Ubuntu, fedora, and mint made it feel like I never could learn how to fix things.

Sometimes things are harder than I want or just aren't working right out of the box. But then sometimes I'm able to do things that are actually impossible on other operating systems. So it's really a trade-off. Also it's getting better every single day. There was an issue I had last month with a controller, I messed around for 30 minutes but couldn't get it to work. I tried it last week and it just worked. So don't lose hope entirely.

I always heard they were larger and ate a specific diet of plants that are now extinct, and so have adapted to only eating low nutrition bamboo and it's caused them to barely be able to reproduce.

I think this one happened rapidly because of conquistadors and plague. A rapid empire collapse making the elite location untenable and unaffordable.

I recently read 1491 and it was excellent. It describes how these immense civilizations were in the New World, and how rapidly they collapsed as hogs infected with diseases accidentally escaped the explorer's camps and killed of 90% of the populations.

It talks about De Soto seeing the banks of rivers filled with dozens of cities of thousands of people, and then two or three years later explorers coming by and finding nothing but ruins.

That seems much more of the type of collapse that would just leave entire buildings empty and abandoned.

friendzone potion, you give it to someone crushing on you or hates you to turn them around. Some might argue showing up with beer / weed is a friendzone potion.

Same, I've blocked every single news and politics and it's bustling

 
 
 

"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
