hey thanks for the details, I misread the ice shelf dropping off as total losses. it's still the worst winter on record. https://www.reuters.com/world/no-quick-fix-reverse-antarctic-sea-ice-loss-warming-intensifies-scientists-2023-08-08/

this is the problem with temporally displaced persons - you just can't tell if they're displaced in the timeline continuum or if they're temporal criminals in the act.

prune first and find out later

instead of adding ice this winter, they lost ice. during antarctic winter.

I have a theory about this:

it's hard to get game devs to move to fucking maryland. to baltimore of all places. these jerks could live damn near anywhere and the studio wants to be in baltimore? so they're left with the folks willing to do that, and anything they can't accomplish - that's what mods (and dreams) are for.

I derived plenty of enjoyment with Fallout 4, Skyrim, FNV (not exactly a bethesda title but one that also shipped with tons of bugs).... at around $40 each, with all their DLC stuff, I think they're great values. Just not worth the new release jazz.

there's so many mods for that.

this is why I never buy Bethesda at release. Let the modders come, and perhaps Bethy will fix some shit themselves, you never know... give it six months or a year and you'll always have a better experience, and often cheaper and with more dlcs.

fuck that. fuck everything about crying, killing yourself or ignoring the issue.

what an example for your kids. we should be tearing the doors off of the petroleum companies, forcing them to stop the disinformation, tearing down the super pacs that they fund and basically anything would be better than your proposals.

fuck everything about that defeatist bullshit.

solar shades out in a lagrange point

this seems to be an unpopular option compared to injecting aerosols into the atmosphere but I hope people give it more thought; it's damn near the only controllable solution we could engineer that we could dial up or down depending on conditions on the ground. injecting more shit into the atmosphere in the hopes that it acts predictably seems to be a wretched way to solve 300+ years of injecting shit into the atmosphere.

I see little to none of it talking to the people in the community around me.

the slow boiled frog doesn't hop out of the pot. I think there's a tremendous amount of dismay in the scientific community that's not coming across in the media. The main outlet I don't see downplaying the issue is the Guardian, here are some examples of their reporting on the actual climate researcher's reactions:

There are plenty of americans who feel that pineapple on pizza is a crime.
