But, we do have "technology" for direct carbon capture. Trees and plants. It will consume a lot of valuable real-estate, but we could plant a lot of plant life which would use carbon for growth.
There is just not enough will and to much economy incentives to not terraform earth.
I love the Americans in this thread answering the question literally
I haven't played Magic much, but boy let me tell you that this is Yu-Gi-Oh in a nutshell!
Unpopular opinion: I actually like MS Teams
Look, I know this might get downvoted, but Teams is... actually fine? Yeah, it's not perfect, but it just works. The best part is that everyone and their grandma knows how to use it because it's the corporate standard around here.
I can't tell you how much time I've saved not having to do the whole "can you hear me? let me try reconnecting... oh wait try updating your browser" dance that happens with other platforms. My company recently switched to Google Meet and honestly? It's been a downgrade. Teams might not be the coolest kid on the block, but at least I'm not spending half my meetings troubleshooting audio and video issues.
You da man brother!
Hey, so I canceled my YouTube Premium subscription a couple of months back and decided to pick up reading instead. It's a different kind of entertainment, but I'm actually really enjoying it. I've been finding some really great books, and I'm finding it just as hard to put them down as I used to find it hard to stop binge-watching my favorite channels.
I've noticed many introverts get exhausted socially because they're maintaining a "persona" in public. They're less drained with partners/close friends because they can just be themselves.
Ah, yes. Nothing fires up a debate quite like making someone else's problems about you
Mu dude, ad fellow tesla driver, I fully concur!
Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here's a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren't just NPCs in our personal storyline. They've got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it's with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?
(Unless you're allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)
I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but here goes...
I have this friend who I used to invite to every social outing. Without fail, they'd turn me down, just like in that comic. After a while, I just stopped trying. I mean, you can't expect me to always chase after someone who clearly doesn't want to be included, right?
Now, here's the kicker. I sometimes get comments from them or mutual friends saying they're not getting the chance to join because I haven't considered inviting them. And honestly? It makes me bitter.
Look, if you don't want to participate, that's fine. But your constant rejection has consequences. Consequences you brought on yourself and shouldn't be my problem to fix. I'm not a mind reader, and I'm not going to keep extending invitations that always get shot down.
Maybe I'm the asshole here, but I feel like there's a limit to how many times you can reach out before you just have to accept that someone isn't interested in hanging out. And when they complain later? That's on them, not me.
Agreed, fossil energy sources add more climate gases to the eco balance. I suppose the original idea of "carbon capture" was to capture the excess and store it back under ground.
