Any parts that can be used to improve a human life should be used that way. Then any parts that can be used to improve animal/plant life should be used that way. Then the rest should be disposed of in the manner that consumes the fewest resources.

But, I'll be gone; you guys can do whatever with it; I won't care.

That rate seems high. But, I have done post-mortems on a bad developer's run at a company, and found they did very nearly nothing. No commits, no issues opened or closed, some comments, but that was almost their entire digital footprint.

Most developers I've worked with are obviously not doing nothing, though some of us (including myself) get stuck doing a lot of work on a project that never makes it into production due to shifting priorities.

There's stuff I've experienced that I can't understand or explain. Certainly, I trust other's witnesses of their own experiences, even if they seem supernatural to me. But, I don't consider that good enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

It's all I have for proper threading. I won't forgive Reddit for how they treated me and my communities. But, if you are willing to use Reddit, I'm sure it's going the have user advantage (and because of that niche interest advantage) for quite a while. I hope it serves your needs and brings you joy.

You might try building a community here, but that is the "slow boring of hard wood" and it can be difficult to find joy in, especially at first.

We use it as medicine for our dog. And, if you have parasites, it's good in human doses. I think it can also be given prophylactically. I haven't seen any evidence it should be used to treat any virus, respiratory or other.

Ah yes, the leftists mortal enemy, the less-idealogically-pure leftist.

Of the people that care enough to vote, leftists are a clear minority. We need to find people to work with on specific, community-building goals, even if we can't agree with them on everything (or anything!) else.

Judge might sentence him, but ACAB includes DoC, so he'd miraculously escape custody.

II think it's entirely possible the world is fucked. Climate crisis won't come during his 2nd administration, but the 4 years we lose in national and international regulation is going to make it impossible to prevent.

It'll be slow, but before 2061, I expect the death of the global Internet, and global shipping, and most air travel. Electrical grids will fracture or fail and the pieces used for smaller (at most regional) grid. Cities won't be able to maintain the sewer pumps, and Cholera will start killing people again. Gas lines will stop maintaining pressure.

I don't plan on sticking around that long. My BP has always been bad, so I figure just indulging my vices will make this no my problem, and I don't have a partner or descendants.

If you prefer not embracing despair, I suggest looking into how you and your dearest can survive without infrastructure. Local food production, local power and medicine production. Don't count on supplies you can't retrieve within a day of travel, and don't count on the state to maintain roads. "Solarpunk" might be a good search term. Also, might prepare for unpredictable shifts in the local climate, like preferring indoor growing.

If anyone has data that says we can avoid climate collapse with no new national or international regulation before 2029, I'd love to hear it. Please.

In 2061, I can see Halley's Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It's the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don't have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

So, with his leadership, is there any chance we won't have a global climate crisis before 2061?

I need someone to convince me, please.
