Cody basically says it's just a video on climate change (which people are reluctant to watch) but to grab their attention, it's ACTUALLY a video TO Jordan - an idiot's idea of a smart person - about climate change.

I really like how he explains stuff. Looking forward to part 2.

It will be all of these and more, and it will continue to work to kill us slowly. Not a single event, but thousands over years, it has already begun and we're only accelerating it.

Some of us will survive to see the later parts of this century, but it will be a different world than pre-2000.

Heat has already been a killer.

Floods and hurricanes have already wreaked havok.

Water scarcity has caused deaths.

Ecosystems ravaged by humans are past their first stages of collapse.

And it's all getting worse.

We can try our best, but it won't be enough.

I just hope to care for those around me and try to spread good.

To help a starfish.

Yep, and cooking is easier and safer (I don't need to worry about cross contamination)

Being vegan is way cheaper and that's not even accounting for the massive subsidies the meat and dairy industries get, from our taxes.

At March 12th of this year, we'll likely hit 366 days, an entire (leap) year of record breaking temperatures.

Less deadly and more contagious!

Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

They'll have to pay for the ammo themselves, of course.

Another millennial adding on:

  1. Bringing a sentient life into a world of suffering and climate change that will only worsen seems malicious to that life, at this point.
  2. My partner really doesn't want to go through the body changes that come with pregnancy.

Additional emphasis on #3, even if it didn't compromise safety, a healthy pregnancy is expensive! Healthcare from any complications is financially devastating.

Small aside that adoption is not off the table for us, but we're not financially comfortable to get a dog yet, which we've been saving for for a few years. One of us would need to get a huge raise to be able to afford the costs of adoption and raising of a human child.

 

Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was alsoem once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.

Than it was.

Not just nostalgia tinted glasses, it really was better in the earlier years.

I think that's a question that every Jewish person would have a different answer to. For me, I'm an Atheist Jew; but religion is more than blind faith, it contains culture, values, and yes peoplehood. I like being part of a small and tight community, sharing ethical discussions and rituals with those in it.

Like most similar questions, yours comes down to semantics. How do you define religion? A people? My concern with questions like that is it can be interpreted by some maliciously. E.g. They're not a religion like us, they're a race and we must exterminate them.
