Yeah aside from the fact that it's going to likely affect their decision. Like I wanna see this guy face justice but not at the expense of my family getting fieebombed inside our house

Her last name is actually zelenska IIRC Ukraine has gendered last names

Climate change isn't really an existential threat. To be a filter it has to kill all humans and even the bleakest models don't predict that.

Also for it to be a Great Filter it has to be something that ALL civilizations do to kill themselves. Seems unlikely that all civs wou ld even have analogs to gossil fuels in quantities sufficient to do this kind of damage. And the idea that zero of them actually course-correct when they notice it seems equally implausible

Yeah. I always tell newbies "nobody ever got a promotion for work their boss didn't know they did." Sadly if you produce 100 units of value and the boss only knows about 10 of them the guy who did 20 units but won't shut up about it looks 2x as valuable even though he's actually doing 1/5 the work. Trick is to be doing the most work and have people see it

I mean, sure lots of atheists are assholes. But many of us were raised religious. For sure I know more atheists raised religious than I know religious folks raised atheist. Either way folks should just let folks make up their own minds

Enough money that I can retire in six months. So idk, like, call it a cool $4M/yr and I'm yours in office for 6 months. Otherwise I guess MAYBE my same salary at somewhere walking distance where I only have to work 3 or 4 days a week at 8 hour days.

My mental health is just so much better working from home. The upside would have to be enough to balance that and realistically nobody is actually going to do that.

Are you suggesting we just let Putin take over Europe Nazi-style or is this comment unrelated to the article?

Cringe. Recently learned that "the youths" have basically morphed the phrase into just meaning "anything bad". Like, that word was so useful though to specifically mean "something that someone does which flies in the face of social norms to which they are oblivious, but which makes onlookers uncomfortable". That word condensed a damn paragraph and I want it back

The term for this is "the euphemism treadmill". Basically every word we have for someone being unintelligent was at one point a medical term and for 100s or 1000s of years human beings have been making the same lame joke with whatever the current word is. We can get mad at people for doing it, but history shows it's guaranteed to happen anyway.
