Yikes, this should go in /c/collapse.

It also breaks down to CO2 after, right? A small amount but still.

Not really a hilarious assumption, but it was only this year that I actually learned anything more than the names of a few STIs. It's good to familiarize yourself with the risk profiles and treatment options of the common ones, and get tested regularly if you're sexually active.

My responses to that are:

  1. What counts as arable? Can you grow literally nothing on it, or is it just unusable for mass industrial mono-cropping at a scale that competes?

  2. IIRC even if ruminant grazing is the most efficient way to produce food on this land, it's still be a severe environmental net negative as opposed to other non-food uses, namely rewilding. Of course this is true for cash crops as well, and I don't know how the payoff compares, but a lot of animal agriculture defenders like to use this argument to imply that grazers can just be slotted in on the margins with no downside.

  3. Based on the map in the article, a substantial portion of land still goes to farmed livestock feed. Eliminate all of that first and then we can actually see how much of this beef is purely ranched.

Meat eaters do love to champion the most ethical and environmental corners of their supply chain, and I appreciate that, but everyone I know that buys a half cow for their deep freezer from a sustainable local farmer refuses to draw the hard line in the fast food drive-thru. "Conscious" meat exists to justify all meat consumption rather than replace it in the supply chain, from my experience growing up on a small hobby farm trying to produce it.

Thank god I am terrified of spending money. I impulsively do really stupid shit all the time but my fucked relationship with finance and value keeps the frivolous shopping at bay.

It's incredibly hot in my region for this time of year; basically summer temperatures in October. It's a bit trippy when the leaves are all changing or fallen and I can't split wood without pouring sweat and overheating after ten minutes.

You know exactly what that picture is, and it's how I prefer to hang my toilet paper rolls because I'm in the small minority that finds it more aesthetically pleasing.

The only positive thing I got out of that place was some great albums from /mu/, but even there the toxicity was so incredibly rampant. I wouldn't shed a tear to see the whole site nuked.

I don't tell people. They infer both almost immediately from my physical stature and vocabulary. gigachad

Still a hot take probably but everyone I know hates JS.

I think this is accurate on a larger scale, but I'll often do things like breaking up a large chain of methods with an interim variable just for readability. A few lines of simple math is better than one line of bit shifting wizardry that does the same thing but doesn't show the semantic meaning of the operation.
