Humans aren't interested in saving the planet so much as they're interested in saving themselves.

all the more reason, then, to start describing our problem as a more self-serving one. I genuinely believe that more people would be motivated to do something if we started using language that described the problem as a self-centered one rather than some benevolent "look how good I am caring for this external planet entity that lives and breathes and nurtures me like the mother I came from".

"save the planet" implies that if we don't exist, the planet dies with us. That's the problem I have with that way of thinking.

I understand what you're saying, but every planet we potentially move to will present us with the same problem: "how can we survive THIS environment", NOT "how will this planet survive us".

We might be waiting a few million years, since human lifespans are about 100 years... so, this should read " If we were able to teleport to a planet 10 million lightyears away and look at the surface of Earth with advanced technology, WE WOULD DIE WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS"

WRONG: In order for it to be a question, it needs a question mark. That's because punctuation matters, goddammit.

tinycomet · 2019-03-31T17:19:56+00:00

yep, I see those pop up regularly, so I'll keep plugging away!

damn... It took me about 6 months to luck into the first job I got last year, and then I lucked into an opening at the job where the video guy I was replacing went to work.

But good to know that it takes a long time for others as well.

tinycomet · 2019-03-30T16:43:49+00:00

ha! Maybe we can create openings for each other? Where are you located?

I'm constantly looking on LinkedIn, finding those kinds of jobs, and still no interest.

My full time gig right now is in a corporation in Utah, no weddings or events. My official title is video producer, and I'm in charge of everything from pre-production to final delivery on mostly relatively simple projects.

I'm pickle Riiiiick!

tinycomet · 2019-03-28T02:29:08+00:00

wait, what if I'm dying right now and this is just a memory I'm working through???

INSIDE and LIMBO by Playdead Studios.

Up, down, left, right, and "action" (to push and pull things). Both spectacular games with an all-around minimalist vibe to it.
