How do you switch? Is it a different app? I’m using boost atm for Lemmy

Does it get any better after season 1? The terminus plot was just incredibly stupid so I lost all interest. Empire was great though, especially as he didn’t exist in the books

Yeah, when w10 dies this is probably what I’ll end up doing too. I want to ditch windows but a lot of the programs I use don’t have Linux support

Do you have a specific recommendation? I’m interested in trying one

Yes, on the whole nuclear weapons have made the world more peaceful. Large nations rarely go to war with each-other, something which used to happen relatively frequently.

Of course the world isn’t peaceful, but it would be worse without MAD.

Wish they’d make a new release for the 4k version of Pirates. From what I’ve heard the one out now is pretty bad in terms of color grading and detail.

Which strawman are you flailing against? I havent said anything about human caused destruction, where are you getting that from?

We act like we are the only emotional animals, only animals who think, etc.

Who made that claim?

Listen, if you want to say we are destroying certain species, environments, etc.

??

if humans were out of the picture there is nothing that would prevent another species from evolving and becoming sapient like humans.

Of course not but there’s nothing forcing it to happen either. Dinosaurs ruled the planet for far longer than mammals and they never got where we are

You say we aren’t that special but show me one other species that has created a civilization like humans, I’ll wait.

I’m talking about sapiens not human caused extinctions.

eventually recover there will be some species that persist and a couple hundred million years later a new species will grow to reign the planet.

That is far from guaranteed

It’s not a zero sum game. I’d rather keep space research going to lower the risk as fast as we can. If you want to focus on the climate then we should end fast fashion which is much much worse for the environment. Also, space colonies are a chicken and egg problem, you cant just wait until the tech magically appears, you have to spend money inventing it. [Insert famous JFK quote about going to the moon here]

One finger curls on the monkeys paw, wish granted

We are that special, in 4 billion years only one species has done what we have done. For better or worse. It’s not certain conditions will be right for it to happen again

The Chinese government is the most ethical government in the world according to people in .ml haha. Really boggles the mind

Guess we’ll see.

RemindMe! 50 years

Then why reply at all? Zero effort is to avoid commenting, maximum effort is trying to answer, “Google?” is wasted effort

Very pessimistic viewpoint. We have issues to solve for sure but I very much doubt humanity will implode in less than 50 years.

You even get some heavy metals included for free! What a bargain

Was leaded gas common when you grew up? Just curious
