time will tell

So we can agree that we’re discussing and juxtaposing against each other very vague things, that might as well turn out to be completely false?

Extinction event level but not really, (…)

Much like the predicted scenario of allegedly upcoming climate disaster, correct?

I never said Toba didn’t happen.

I never said you did.

We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

We’re not.

We’re on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood “extinction level” events in the past.

Multiple times.

You should read the entire article.

I’m glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were “extinction level” events in Mankind’s history.

And we survived it.

I mean, the history of the planet involves mass extinction events when 95% of species died off so… not really?

And yet, life is still abundant, diverse and thriving. Isn’t it?

This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

The lists misses more reasonable things:

• ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
• spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
• vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
• vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
• as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
• do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
• don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
• learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides

…and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.

Life finds the way…

Headquarters! Mayday! This hit too close to our position!

Thank you, goodnight.

Do you think it is overpriced?

Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.

I’m a bit drunk, what is my typical state to visit the Internet and the title merged into “sodomite” before my eyes.

Jesus Christ, isn’t the perception a delicate thing…

$498

optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.

Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

Truth is dramatic.

Threat to Public Safety

Dude, you forgot which of two worlds is the real one. Hint: it’s not the Internet.

And that’s how I know that voting should be a privilege, not a right.

Hmmmmm, there’s definitely a merit in the idea, but I was more about dopamine excretion itself - from what I gather, the actual content should be playing the most important role in it, to the point that a, hmmmm, highly evocative scene would influence the brain no matter if seen in vivd colors or greyscale.

I need to do some research on the topic, to make up my mind. 😉

Interesting.

Gonna give it a read later.

Thank you. 👍

Can’t comment on the article’s content if it’s unavailable to read…

And judging from what little they decided to show, it’s not exactly an article relevant to what you’re saying here?

Could you provide a few links from some considerably respectable sources?
