Yeah, I think that's actually the problem, I need to unsub from solarpunk because it cultivates a completely illogical view of the future.

No it means exactly what the definition for alarmism says. You can choose to believe "it means nobody has to do anything about the problem and no one is to blame".

And quoting Mein Kampf only means that the politician in question is either mentally disturbed or dog whistling.

No we're not. We are just on the cusp of four shitty years. People are overreacting to a demented old man. There's a long list of things the crazy fucker wants to do, and an extremely short list of things he will actually be able to do.

The media silos are feeding everyone panic pablum with a chaser of hysteria pills. We've had bad presidents before and everyone lived through them.

You seem to be missing warnings for nanoplastic and microplastic pollution. Also a warning for perchlorate contamination from forever chemicals. And one for wet bulb temperature zones near the equator that require hibernation or protective clothing during daylight hours.

There is no chill 2080 utopia in our future.

I do like the icons, they were a cute distraction.

I have no idea. I wanted a standalone alternative to Google Keep on one of my lesser used devices and this did the job.

Bought the license and it does what I need, plus it synchs to my encrypted storage on pCloud.

Peaceful protests don't lead to revolutions, violent protests do. When things get so bad that people start to violently destroy the infrastructure then you get revolutions.

Revolutionaries start real revolts by terrorizing the powers that be.

I initially read that as "fashion traitor" and pictured her wearing Gucci in a Prada zone.

I started working at age 13 back in 1980 because I wanted money to buy GI Joes, and comic books. So I started going to construction jobs with my shithead father on Saturdays and helped him put up sheetrock. My first legitimate job was the summer I turned 15, I was big for my age so I started doing deliveries for a furniture store, worked there for two summers until I was fired after a workplace injury. The guy I worked with was a racist Italian from Whitestone New York, and I was a smart slightly autistic black kid. His delivery truck only had one seat so I stood in the open door on the right side holding on for dear life. One day we were moving a heavy office desk upstairs and I was bringing up the rear, he lost control which resulted in the desk sliding downstairs and slamming me into a wall. My ribs were badly bruised so after I got home the store panicked and fired me, they probably thought we were going to sue. Anyway I went into a deep depression and couldn't leave my room for a month. One of my therapists later told me that it was the first appearance of my bipolar disorder.

I was legally employable, and of age but still got hurt on the job. I just had shithead employers.

I made an exception for Baldur's Gate 3. I'm only human.

I keep seeing this nonsense in my socials. No a self sustaining dictatorship is not going to suddenly appear in America. It would probably work in almost every other country on Earth, but in the USA it's impossible because of the individualist delusions all Americans are raised on.
