It’s happening in Oregon too. An attack on education.

You kidding me? If I spend just 0.1% of that bad boy every year, it’ll last me over a thousand years!

Don’t forget the Pastafarians and their noodly appendages

Yes, with a house and just you and your mom, it’s doable. Even with a car, it’s doable. Why? Because it’s been done before (so parts are already made, how to guides, etc), not an entire planet of 8 billion people AND a completely new series of issues we have to engineer around and can’t fuck up or we all literally die. We also don’t have the time (like we are out of time) to implement much.

I think trying to fix it is completely imperative. I simply don’t believe it will get fixed. It should be fixed, yes, imo - but I doubt it will be. Partially because our government isn’t taking serious action to do so. Partially because every environmental scientist, environmental engineer, biologist, ecologist, I know is extremely depressed or suicidal.

The worst thing that would happen if you didn’t fix up that house, is that you’d be living in bad conditions but not unlivable ones. The amount of dissociation people have from the seriousness of what’s going on around us is stunning. I assume a profound lack of education about the environment or biology. Things are bad.

I never stated that it was the only option. The fact that it was taken away is significant, especially because it was a symbolic act of protest rather than an effective act. Aka it didn’t even do anything and they still don’t like that. Why tf do we even have a draft? If we really need one, we can pass one through the government at that time. It should be retired. It’s weird.

Maybe, but we’re getting into a classic discussion about nihilism here when it comes to doomerism - if nothing matters, how should I feel? Depressed, or finally free to do whatever since it doesn’t matter anyway?

The reality is:

• As it currently stands, with current technology and current input/output, we are facing literally 6 of 9 separate world ending catastrophes which are feeding into each other. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/07/recklessness-defined-breaking-6-of-9-planetary-boundaries-of-safety/

As of 2021, according to SRI, we had already gone beyond the safe limit for five of these planetary boundaries: • climate change; • biogeochemical flows (i.e., excessive phosphorus and nitrogen pollution from fertilizer use); • biosphere integrity (e.g., extinction rate and loss of insect pollination); • land-system change (e.g., deforestation); • and novel entities (e.g., pollution from plastics, heavy metals, and what are commonly referred to as “forever chemicals”).

In an April 2022 update, SRI found that a portion of a sixth planetary boundary – fresh water use – had also been crossed. In addition, in a June 2021 interview with the journal Globalizations, Dr. Will Stefan of SRI said that a seventh planetary boundary had also likely been crossed: ocean acidification (one that has been theorized as a key contributor to previous mass extinction events in geologic history). One other boundary has been too uncertain to judge: atmospheric aerosols from fine particle pollution caused by fossil fuel combustion. Yet, we are clearly pushing this boundary too, when considering that air pollution from burning fossil fuels has been blamed for 8.8 million deaths worldwide per year.

If a used car salesman said, “just get this baby a new engine, new transmission, new brakes, tires, and new radiator and she’ll be perfect!” Would you buy the car or trust that’s everything wrong with it? Or would you assume it’s “as is” or worse?

Best case scenario, we put up a gigantic aluminum or whatever space blanket in space to reflect a certain percentage of the sun’s energy to buy us some time. But it doesn’t appear to be happening.

Because the rich genuinely think they are immune to the laws of science. Look at the Titanic sub - they will bet their own lives on their hubris. Including with the planet.

Agree to disagree. This really shows me that most of the people who protested Vietnam are dead. Not signing up for the draft can be an act of protest. The tiny choice we used to have is now gone.

Anemia, pica

The automatic enrollment for the draft really freaked me out. Not even an illusion of choice anymore. A clear step towards fascism. Jesus.

We can have different opinions. Imo climate change denialism is a cope. I also hedge my bets by also planning for retirement. But as it stands, we’re all on hospice.

Thus millennial thinks we will all die in 10 years or so from climate related disasters and none of us will live to retirement age as things currently stand.

The Yearling

They are public servants.

some of which indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

‘Some of which’ sounds like perhaps some reports indicated the presence.

Let’s agree to disagree. There are clearly numerous people itt “having a stroke” because they all thought these mushrooms were psychoactive after reading the article. That’s bad writing. It’s a bad piece. It is what it is. We don’t all do our best work on everything. But if she’s supposed to be informing us, she failed.

Yes I am on a low tyramine diet, that is actually how I found out about my genes (migraines from tyramine lead to gene test). There are also several meds I can’t take as well. But I had never known about DMT interacting with it.

What? PCR is used constantly every day by the CDC and in the medical industry to identify species (usually pathogenic) via genes. Kary Mullis got a Nobel prize for it. It’s literally as mundane as any other lab test now.

They don’t contain anything like that: https://diamondshruumz.com/shop/chocolate-bars/dark-chocolate/

That’s interesting, I have genes that basically mean I’m on a natural MAOI at all times. Should I stay away from DMT then? Is that why Salvia was such a hellish nightmare?

These don’t have DMT

I used “articles” as a synonym to the word “reports” in the quoted text.

The company’s literal website (linked in the article) has an FAQ that states this, which is where I got the info. The author should’ve done better. She should’ve stated that psilocybin isn’t in the original recipe.

Further, read this thread. There are numerous comments from users who are confused what these bars are made of. Doesn’t seem like good reporting to me.
