That's what I find confusing. We (global we) have already had enormous crop failures and disasters recently. https://www.agweb.com/news/crops/crop-production/farm-bureau-finds-2022-weather-disasters-amounted-21-billion-crop-losses these events can get amplified on social media and then it's disorientating to me when the effects slip away.

I think what I want is data:

I don't doubt it's going to get worse, but I'm struggling to understand the details of that. You're saying famine in Chicago, full on North Korean style society? War, yes I said already we already do that all the time. Not new. Warlords, not new. Loss of knowledge? Vague. I'm sorry but this is what I'm talking about. How did you reach these conclusions, if you know?

Shouldn't we put more weight into your friends opinion?

Another person replied to me with a list of things that are a constant in our world. Except 'collapse of civ' which is exactly the kind of conclusion I'm raising doubts on as there isn't as much to support it. Again, focused on regional impacts and not places that are going to be obliterated.

Another person said 'wait till permafrost melts'. This is already baked into models, it's not expected that all permafrost is going to melt everywhere.

Idk. I'm eagerly waiting for AR7 and I'm regularly checking in on a few places. I'm aware of the narrative that IPCC leans towards conservative estimates or is overly optimistic. Internet forums don't seem to offer much to this conversation and it's mostly people echoing what they already believe. I'm not seeing any exceptions to that norm here in this thread.

The few places:

An article/search topic that swayed me a while ago:

I expect that geoengineering is going to happen on a larger scale, it would be counter to how people operate to not pursue that option.

It just makes me realize how much I hate what I do for a living.

That's not the question. Do you think music nowadays puts more emphasis on the appearance of the artist than before? Idk what it is but I find reactions like this annoying. Like OP makes a good point and then we have to hear a lot of 'well, actually' bs.

I found that our cat seemed more calm or at ease after she was spayed. I'm not a cat psychologist. From what I observed it seemed better for the cat to be spayed. She had also shown signs of the frisky behaviour. I'd be curious to know from people who didn't spay their cats if that behaviour mellowed out, and how quickly.

I'm big into woodworking and routinely stress my joints (it's all handtools). How bad is this?

I get sharp knee pain from time to time and it's from a tight IT band. Stretching with a roller (the pain) makes it go away immediately. I've had it since I was a young person.

I haven't noticed any of this yet. The only thing I notice so far about getting older is that there is no chance in hell I'm jumping down a flight of stairs.

I'm guessing that's the 401? I know someone who used to commute on that and it sounded like fucking hell. Hours every day, in the car, driving, snacking, listening to the radio. You leave work and just get on a road in your car for hours.

People talk shit about paying a lot of money for tiny places in the city but I'd rather live in a box than commute 3-4 hours a day for 30 years.

I don't know anymore.. I'm more confused about the severity of climate change as time goes on.

Climate change is not a big deal if the life a person is expecting to live is only a slightly more stressful version of a life without climate change (I think this is where we are currently). It is a big deal if it has the same degree of impact of that a mental health disorder might have - work, relationships, and overall lifestyle are significantly impacted and that person needs to make major adjustments to learn to live with it. I don't see a middle ground here, but I'm also not thinking that hard about it.

I don't know where we are going. And yes... I know the world is a big place and some people are going to feel the worst aspects, but to keep things simple (and relevant) I'm only thinking of other "middle" class Canadians living in large urban centers. If this argument takes into account every person on earth then the answer is just going to be a meaningless 'yes'.

For charging and multi-port hubs C. For single device data ports I prefer A. For low power applications I prefer A. I actually prefer everything about A except all the things it can't do that C can.

The slim side of a USB-A is always 'up'. That's the convention. For monitors 'up' is usually the side not facing you.
