Are there any other tricks you can share to help with this? I had one while driving on the highway the other day and had to get off, park, and try to calm myself down. No idea what caused it.

I think we also should consider the machine of civilization can’t be stopped once started. Steering it is a monumental effort. My best guess is they don’t care, or simply can’t alter the course we are on.

Candell-abra is how I was pronouncing it. Yes, I know it’s the wrong way

Candelabra

I’m well aware that things are going to get dire. Venus by Tuesday, if the fish can be trusted.

I modded r/collapse for a little under a year. Joined the sub back in 2012 or so. I still read it, though I no longer participate.

We are absolutely fucked. I have been through the stages of grief more times than I like to admit. My goal right now is to hurry my way through the stages when I bounce back and get to acceptance. Every once in a while something will trigger me and I will spiral for several days.

Once you get past the grief, the anger, the bargaining, the acceptance makes things clear. Our world is run by people who simply don’t care. Their short life spans give them no ability to think long term for our planet or even our species. All they care about is the right now and fictional numbers going up.

Yeah this isn’t a small strike. They went after the leaders of Iran and their nuclear sites all at once.

Everyone should remember that Elon doesn’t care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He’s in it for the money.

He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he’s done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he’s pivoting back and trying to appease them.

It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

All my international coworkers when I travel ask me to use WhatsApp. It saves them money and makes it easy to connect to others. Anyone in this thread shitting on it has either never traveled internationally or is just an asshole.

Firefox offered me a survey the other day on this exact topic. I said I don’t want it in my browser for all questions.

“What if your browser…”

No, just no. Please stop shoving new features in that I won’t use.

He’s basically Jared from the first Trump term

Pakistan is now attacking military targets in India and the rhetoric is growing increasingly hostile. I hope cooler heads prevail but my optimism is fading.

War never changes

I’m going to approach this from the perspective of someone playing Kerbal Space Program. Early on in the career mode, you need money to build new rockets, gather science, and develop new designs that take you further into space. Without early on tourists, you’re sunk. They provide a lot of the hype and money so you can research/get to that next phase.

Real life is different, I get it. I doubt these celebrities paid much if anything. It’s just rich people doing rich people stuff.
