Climate optimism is just cope of the highest order. Some people will repeat the idea that 'we need significant, global mobilization comparable to a world war to minimize climate change' and then also assure you that these 'little wins' should instill optimism in you. Current power structures will never sufficiently reduce man's impact on the climate.

These are just my thoughts off the headline, I haven't finished reading the article yet, but damn does the double think piss me off.

Oh lmao. First time hearing of this but I love this factoid. Boy, Israel either really loves children or really hates them. They can't seem to decide!

that amount of money is simply not able to be accrued quickly, ethically, legally, and safely. a loan is the only thing that comes to my mind other than crime time. you could try visiting mutual aid communities and crowdfunding. you'll get something from your comrades, at least, but probably not 24k

If you're part of the global south, there's a decent chance NATO opposes you or someone you're closely affiliated with. Is your suggestion to those countries for them to just not be part of the global south?

Because that's incredibly hard to do.

NATO is a purely defensive alliance, not a battering ram.

You can definitely see how this isn't true, right? It'd be incredibly problematic to be opposed by NATO and to have NATO creep up to your borders. Superpowers flipped their shit over stuff like this in the cold war all the time. It's not any different today.

I ordered my Steam Deck through Dick Smith (Kogan.) I have no complaints. I had to use the warranty about two weeks after I received it due to bad pixels. I had a new Steam Deck within a week. They won't repair it because they can't, only replace it. Good enough for me.

Apart from the price we have a pretty good deal - our warranty covers a lot more defects that Valve themselves won't.

Umm accelerationism?? Don't you know that's dangerous and hateful

in a few hundred years historians will look back at this time of the internet and feel extremely frustrated that we had perfect record keeping systems that would retain all this knowledge and culture forever but we for some reason let companies blackhole it

The game is in a pretty rough state. I'm surprised 1.0 is coming. I guess it'll be a lot like it's predecessor, and be perpetually janky but still fun.
