Just let me finish up this war in Stellaris- (new, cool situation event chain starts) Ooh, shiny! (Gets flooded with 10 more story notifications about new anomalies and log entries)

(Can literally pause, save and exit WHENEVER I WANT and all recent progress would still be saved)

So basically… plastics are the new wood? Surface-dwelling sea creatures suffered from ingesting ”microfibers?”

HBO X

I hope it’s sooner, couldn’t happen to a man here in America more deserving

Have you found that milk at the grocery store yet?

I use mine as firestarter at barbecues- ot did, back when summer still had rain in my area (the only time of year when it gets nice enough to bbq), now there’s a yearly burn ban that spans the entire season

Saltwater destroys soil and vegetation instead of facilitating its existence. And you’d need to add better soil and the means to produce more fertile soil (plant species that shed leaves often and have nitrogen-fixing microbes in their roots).

But such water would make rain in the surrounding area more likely and common, if it can be sustained. For instance, I hear there are plans to re-create an inlet in northern Libya that used to exist but dried up when it was cut off from the Mediterranean by an earthquake that pushed up a natural dam some 6000 years ago or something, so the surroundings can become greener. (But given the current flooding of roughly that same area, doing so would be a terrible idea for the people who now live in that below-sea-level area.)

Now it’s down to just the low-effort memes, ”religious people bad”/“reddit good everywhere else bad” circlejerks, unhelpful advice, and edgy 14 year olds who just discovered politics, thinking homophobia and fragile masculinity are “based” and that they’re communist because they hate their home country because something something pronouns, know 2 russian words (both obscenities), have been playing too many WW2-themed games and say comrade every 4 seconds all despite coming from money themselves and supporting a war being waged by a far-right regime.

I played video games more often than usual. I still do when I have the time

It survived this long?!

I just hacked into your email and saw who you’ve been messaging

Who is ‘Lil’ Sis’ and why do you ‘love’ her?”

Idk but I mostly block all communities involving the former (but the latter doesn’t bother me at all). I don’t use lemmy to argue politics or first world problems, especially with people who are often incredibly hostile to dissent. I use it to post pictures of my beautiful home state and talk about gaming
