Human extinction is now the main scenario.

As the UK passes 5 days of 35C or more before the end of June those of you who understand that 2+2=4 , regardless of what you want it to equal, may wish to remind yourselves of why human extinction is now the main scenario... meaning seeing (or rather feeling hot) is believing....

"2027 will likely soar to between 1.7°C and 1.8°C for the calendar year average."

"Permanently passing 2°C next decade now seems unavoidable."

"This places the planet squarely in the danger zone for a number of the great tipping elements including the West Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets, Boreal Permafrost abrupt thawing, Ocean Current disruption and Amazon collapse."

And this final quote requires translation into normal language...

"We can only hope that these upcoming systemic shocks finally jolt global leadership and the voting public into treating the crisis with the structural seriousness it demands."

"With structural seriousness it demands" means millions of people go on the streets and remove the regime - revolutions.

"The crisis" means billions of people die quick violent deaths due to social breakdown or slow agonising deaths due to starvation.

Israeli Quadcopter drones were used in Gaza to emit the sound of a baby crying.

When people rushed to help what they thought was a baby suffering, they were shot.

This is what the Filton 24 did to one of those Quadcopter drones.

@AccountRam66302 @EdbieLigerSmith It's less about mass spontaneous protest, it's about sustained mass protest - if even half the attendees did this day after day, causing maximum disruption to the economy, things would change

[Ed Dickinson @Ed_Dickinson_]

@AccountRam66302 @EdbieLigerSmith The two are intrinsically linked - when people treat protest as a day out, they are personally emboldening the controlled opposition internally and externally and, therefore, the strength of the state

@Dykeocletian @axiochrono Now this is the kind of nuance I love to see

@conor_brn Bro no we love a diva - look at any other sport and see how emotional they get

Though, granted, this is a pub game

Pigs don't just feel fear themselves. They also feel the fear of other pigs — and try to comfort them.

In one study, pigs watching another pig in distress first showed fear themselves and then tried to comfort the distressed pig through snout-to-snout contact. Pigs who'd previously endured the same ordeal reacted even more intensely — they seemed to recognize what the distressed pig was going through. (Goumon & Špinka, 2016.)

On factory farms, pigs trapped in gestation crates aren't just feeling afraid themselves. They're feeling the fear of all the other pigs around them. But the crate's iron bars stop them from even turning toward their fellow pigs — let alone comforting them with their snout.

@fionasins_ There have been baseless political attacks from the state through the medium of Labour and Reform, as well as a huge amount of hit jobs from the media - these videos are completely tame in comparison

Corbyn tried "kinder, gentler politics" and look what happened there

@LolliXLII @GarethElton @InexpertKironte @pcgamer Disco Elysium manages this predicament perfectly, it's a replicable system

@LolliXLII @GarethElton @InexpertKironte @pcgamer So make your stats/builds different the next time around - each play through is a story that is supposed to be different, using the exact mechanics you described
