the world is overpopulated and everyone who wants to have children should require a license to do so (and it should cost a lot - like, a mid-tier job’s annual salary).

he got booted from office and the people dont support his return (plenty of recent pro-coup demonstrations for that). what’s the problem?

technically it’s your lawn, you can do whatever you’d like to it.

the real question is should you

ah, some actual data, thanks! still, it looks like an average variance of 1 degree celsius over 2000+ years.

let’s be honest though - nothing is going to change in the next ~50 years or so, not enough to stop the slight raise in temperature. no one is willing to go back to living like medieval peasants prior to the industrial revolution. no one politician is going to enact any laws that will return society to that state. no coalition or governmental body is going to do it either. not in America, not in China, not in India, not in Europe.

we would need most of northern africa and all of central australia covered by solar panels, wind turbines everywhere, and probably actual fusion reactors generating power in order to markably decrease global temperatures.

yes the graphics are very shocking, to be sure - why is it only limited to 44 years though? do records not extend back further than that? I seem to remember reading somewhere that there’s climate records from as early as the 1880s but maybe that was in England only.

though, even 44 years, while easily half of a human’s lifetime, it’s just a tiny blip on a geologic time scale.

17c/62f is on the low side of comfortable though

Latvian heaven?

what’s with the current trend of porn in the foreground, crowded nonsense in the background? is adding complexity a flex of some sort?

smoking. growing up in the 80s, everyone was smoking - in bars, restaurants, airplanes, even hospitals.

everyone I knew, their parents smoked tobacco or chewed tobacco. I started smoking myself, around 16 or so, as did all of my friends & even people I didn’t associate with. it was just part of the culture - and yes, I was aware at the time that it was a dangerous activity, but kids are stupid.

and then around 15 years ago or so everyone stopped or switched to vaping. now I really only see homeless people smoking. it’s quite the culture shift.

no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature

I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun
