bad day at the office

  • What kind of boot is that? Some kind of chainsaw gear?

    • Deadly global heatwaves undeniably result of climate crisis, scientists show

  • To my knowledge, there had been an understanding that scientists were being fairly conservative with their statements of how bad things were going to get, and how fast it was going to happen.

    I know of two primary drivers for this (which I am somewhat oversimplifying for brevity):

    1. Scientists really didn't want to get it wrong by saying X will definitely happen by year Y, and then be wrong, thus giving ammunition to climate deniers and vested interests running counter-PR such as oil companies.
    2. Scientists didn't want to paint a picture of unstoppable, inevitable doom that no person could possibly imagine a way for them to fix, or contribute to fixing, thus leading to the mindset of 'if there's no way to stop it why even try?'.

    • Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

  • Linux Mint reporting in. I've been running it on all my machines for... over 6 years now, not sure how much longer than 6 though. Did not look back, I can do everything I want without issue.

    I, too, enjoy having an OS that doesn't fsck with me.

    • Six verified Reddit employees discussing the current atmosphere at the company. Featuring "First the company needs to get rid of Steve", "It's garbage", and actively hoping to be laid off. : r/ModCoor

  • I... had not thought of the situation from that perspective.

    On the one hand, I want to look at this and say 'conspiracy theory'... but on the other hand I could potentially see this being possible.

    On the third hand, when in doubt, apply Hanlon's Razor: don't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
