When the 2018 paper came out, I already moved to higher grounds.

Petroleum capitalists fucked this planet and our future, but I still haven't given up hope for humanity, or whatever comes reign over. I did all I could to admonish, prep, and solidify, but you can see how unsuccessful I was.

We can also sign for when we need to be inaudible.

I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.
