Climate change has not been out of the news cycle for months, and it probably won't ever really be again. Every day there are new reports of flooding or record heat, or data centres using up all the water, or melting glaciers, etc.
And how are corporate ghouls being stopped by Greenpeace hanging a banner on a oil rig?
I hate to be the one to say this but what's the point?
Like sure it was probably a fun, camraderie inducing exercise for the Greenpeacers and it got them out doors and doing teamwork, but it's not bringing attention to anything the general public doesn't already know. And it's certainly not changing opinions on anything for the higher ups, except maybe harsher punishments for eco-activists.
So if the resources used for this stunt are more damaging to the world than not having pulled it at all, and the activists involved are going to be arrested and face serious repercussions for tampering with an oil rig, what was the point?
That was a fun read!
~~I really hope these are all somehow from real textbooks. The more of these that I see, the more I'm starting to think they're ai.~~
Lmao I just watched the video this is from. Ignore me and go play video games for several hours.
You're lucky, I've never done that and still get them.
Why does this even happen?
Seconding The Silt Verses! It's such a good story and beautifully told.
The guy who played John Chriton in Farscape.
He was very suited to the action and comedy stuff in the show, but there's just something kinda gormless about his face that made him mathing out and frantically writing sums on the floor seem more unbelievable than the muppet space opera going on around him.
My urge to spirograph the Vatican is getting stronger.
What textbooks are you using?
Krysten Ritter in Orphan Black: Echos. They gave her glasses and a blazer and it was not convincing.
I've met computer nerds who look like 50, but I haven't seen the media the image is from so maybe his acting sucked, idk.
So basically, we need more Luigi's. Or for some benevolent psychopath to start a luxury suicide cult for billionaires and warmongers. Or a time machine.
