Certainly, we’re going to have Musk and Murdoch pushing for Dutton to get in and our dumbass populace will buy whatever those two media networks are selling as usual.

Same here. I just completed it a couple of nights ago and it was delightful. Vibes.

Nice! So vindicating when that happens.

All I can say is that you’ll need them within 6 - 12 months of getting rid of them.

My Dad’s a carpenter and growing up this essentially describes our backyard. So much timber that gets left over at the end of the job that he’d grab for a carton of beer. So much of it soaked and white-ant ridden.

Perfect example.

This is the one hobby where you actually might use the thing you’re hoarding just in case.

Defeating the purpose would be more like washing your disposable cutlery that you’re just about to throw out. Cleaning the house is important.

Yes. Everything is pointless and nothing is forever. Might as well enjoy the life we’ve got. Non-existence is better for some people, but I think on the whole life is worth living for most people.

At least there isn’t evidence of microplastics being harmful to humans, but they certainly harm ecology.

I go one further and also use public/private key pairs that my acquaintances must use to decrypt the scrambled letters I mail them.

I’m not advocating for people not doing things within their power and influence (i.e. influence their friends and family), but I think it’s clear that systematic collective change is more effective than expecting billions of people to change their individual choices.

Advertising works, and Coca Cola Company has effectively endless resources for advertisement.

We have to push to influence legislation that will force companies to comply. Otherwise we’re just complaining endlessly about people not doing the right thing while these companies freely profit at the expense of the environment.

Yeah, let’s try and change the habits of billions of people rather than the practises of 1 company. Way simpler and effective solution.

In fact, let’s not even worry about the fact that the company in particular does everything in its power to keep people buying their product.

Oh yeah, the circles of influence are definitely helpful for your mental health.

And true, I suppose even the earth blowing up doesn’t matter in the scheme of the universe.

I suppose I’m not 100% on Nihilism in that sense.

I still value life of course, but the climate change existential dread which I feel pretty constantly is alleviated when I tell myself its only complete societal collapse/mass extinction event, rather than total destruction of life on the earth.

Nihilism and the fact that it’s highly unlikely that humans will destroy the ability for earth to sustain life, just make our society collapse.

Humans lives aren’t as important as life itself.

I would’ve thought the Euro?

That’s a really good one

True. I suppose depending on how they designed it, they could keep them though. The PS portal for example has a screen and haptics/adaptive triggers.

That’s a thin client obviously I understand.

Oh yeah that was at the forefront of my mind when writing that. A handheld would have the option of a much larger battery than in the dualsense, but there’s the question of how powerful this thing is expected to be and how much juice is required for that.

I hope the haptics don’t go away, it’s the best new feature of the ps5 IMO.
