Cynical and bitter mutualist & consequentialist. I hate accelerationists and their apologists as much as I hate fascists.
I used to want good things, but everyone else seems to be fine with bad things. So now I’m pro-vacuum decay event.
I don’t have access to this account on non-work days
Of course, medical reversal of Alzheimer’s is not the same as reversing the brain damage that was already caused by it. Its more like they’ve potentially identified a way of stopping the bleeding, depending on how transferable this or a similar method is to humans.
I might be an atheist’s atheist, but if you are anti-empathy you aren’t christian, you just like old testament for it’s prejudice and horror.
Only up to a point, fossil fuels getting cheaper will reach a point where it wont be worth extraction outside of for niche customers.
If renewables become plentiful and cheap enough globally fossil fuels will more or less die off in use, even if right now they’re going upward in use its temporary. The problem is we’re stuck with severe consequences even if they do eventually largely stop. We’re stuck with severe consequences if they stop this very instant in fact.
What we really want is renewable energy to become so cheap and plentiful that not only do fossil fuels stop being used but carbon capture technology’s high energy cost becomes null and it just becomes a net good. ATM the technology is useless because the high energy cost ends up just putting more co2 into the air anyway than is removed.
I don’t know if my anxiety would allow me to explicitly state that I’m flirting with someone. I may force myself to try that though.
I wish I could ask if they were flirting with me, but I’m pretty sure there are a lot of contexts where if I asked they’d say no because I asked even though the true answer was yes. And if the true answer actually was no, then they’d suddenly probably just become uncomfortable. Both results are just a loss.
I hate it.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I’ve gotten pretty OK at flirt detection, but it uses like 100% of my concentration and focus and its exhausting. Usually worth it though.
