Ahh, chicken little the world is not cooked yet. But it’s close.

When you have not enough food, when the water shortages start and when the world temps stay so high we can’t bear it, well then itll be to late to fight back.

Good news is, the world will heal when the virus dies.

    I like asking which heaven or hell? Mormons have this thing called eternal darkness or some shit and you need to be really bad to go there. But they also have 3 heavens, with the bottom class heaven for heathens like me.

    I kind of hope it’s like a resturant. Yes, i’ll have the Heaven of the day, hold the damniation. Yes, yes, i’ll take an order of angel wings and a harp. No, lets save and get just silver, no need to be flashy.

    Or better yet, which heaven did the Christians go to? I’ll take the other heaven please.

    Now a map with tourism overlayed, and corporate ownership and/or rental properties in the EU. I argue this because I know qol is amazing Italy, Spain, etc… and because I live in Spain, I can attest my quality of life is amazingly better than USA. But it’s full of airbnb’s and similar that have priced out locals by raising rent beyond the norm. My rent €1400 a month for a 2 bed place, twice what it is 100km away. If Tourists drive the economy means that you’re dealing with shops and stores that are for tourists only and not locals, prices go up, etc…

    So these numbers would show me if places heavily dependent on tourism and “lower” quality of life scores, coincide.

    I also add a walk into the mix. No phones, no TVs, no computers… nothing with a screen - I do this every day and it’s easy because I now live in Spain and that’s the life here after 7pm. But in the USA i was the weird one.

    Speaking of, it’s 8am Saturday here. So I’m off to do nothing. See ya

    I’ll start with a joke, “so this guy has been randomly teleported onto a TED talk stage in his underwear…” and then I’d probably talk about how the over prevalence of “easy” in our day to day life has allowed us to become complacent and encourages us to stop fighting the inevitable downfall of life as we see it. All so billionaires can keep existing and we can be doomscrolling without being worried about life outside around the world.

    I’d fill the full 30 min.
