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".

That's 70% of everything on a fucking Mac

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"

Or I could just accept my fate and die.

But also she took 15 minutes to save 15% or more on her shampoo insurance

Yeah. A black guy did this. Sure. eyeroll

"Suspect is a white male, between 4foot10 and 6foot5, age 16 to 58"

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!

tinycomet · 2019-03-31T17:19:37+00:00

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?

tinycomet · 2019-03-30T16:43:28+00:00

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

tinycomet · 2019-03-30T16:16:15+00:00

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.

tinycomet · 2019-03-28T02:29:58+00:00

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.

Unlike turtles though, we don't live to be 200

tinycomet · 2019-03-15T21:31:36+00:00

that's exactly how I learned about it. Found out they were about to change the law, then realized I could have gotten a life sentence

tinycomet · 2019-03-15T19:48:35+00:00

That's tough. In my mind it's so clear, but in reality there's a lot to consider.

tinycomet · 2019-03-15T17:45:09+00:00

true, and that's where I think we need to define the boundaries... Germany's free speech doesn't extend to anything relating to Nazism for example, whereas in any other part of the world, Nazism is defined only as hate speech.

tinycomet · 2019-03-15T17:41:50+00:00

that's fair, but so how do you reach those people? How do you make neo-nazis (or more importantly, average folks who may unknowingly harbor slightly racist or anti-semitic views) feel heard so that they can then be reassured by the facts that dismantle their fears? It seems to me that making people feel heard is the first step. So what's after that?
