Good, made a decision decades ago to have a vasectomy as there are way to many people in the world and misquoting Thoreau, what use a kid if no livable planet to raise them on ?

I always felt if the need to be a parent overwhelmed, I could adopt any number of abandoned kids.

I like kids but I’d fell way to guilty about having any. Not having them also let me retire at 35 and pursue my own interests, I’m now 58.

I’d suggest not, cats destroy and entire ecosystems, I’d suggest cat owners are self absorbed, entitled, narcicistic… or some combination.

Hell, there toxoplasmotic shit kills dolphins as it washes into the ocean.

Fuck my bf in the ass…

I’m at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I’d block for that.

I disagree with most people most of the time, I’m a stranger in a strange land

Good question but I assume its becase thats where the people are and /or they are unaware of alter natives and/or theybdobt give a shit?

Same same with X and all things Meta for that matter

I dont use Reddit becase of it’s shitty commercial explotation. I was never on Twitter.

This is the internet, people who disagree with you are on it.

This is my partners favourite game.

Fair Email. I grabbed it from F Droid and paid direct though.

What instructions? All I get is “this is for paid members only”

Still so much 2FA via SMS where I am in Aus.

I’d prefer to move everything over to something like Signal but I neeed a phone # to register for that but how do u tell the bank my Signal ID is @hanrhan.666

Is there a how to for Linux?

Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.

Not what u want but that’s where I am and it works well.

Be interested to see the responses

This is the most depressing thread I’ve read for some time.

It’s horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it’s good news. It’s like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?

Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”

You both use Signal, problem solved.

Burn it.

There is (or was) a North Korean Restaurant in Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. The staff were apparntly North Korean, so not sure how that worked and I was going to go but never go there back in the day.

The worst dishes (for me) I’ve had were in Malaysia , o coild nit find sonethbg Ibloeod, i started oit disliking the food in Myamar (before the recent civil war) not did start to find food I liked and the most suprisingly good food was Nepalese, at a little place owned by a Nepalese family. Not a fan of tomato based dishes so…

Outback Steak house ? Lol wot?

Maybe the owner died before they could oaas the torch ?

Linux, seriously, it’s in my phone, my router, my desktop, my ISP and nearly the entire infrastructure of the internet upon which I rely uses it.

Conservative politics, as Mill points out, stupid people are attracted to it. Many of them will plant a sign on their lawn to let you know.
