Because Houston isn't a city, it's just a never ending suburb.

I'm so bummed about Rowling. I loved those books so much growing up. Its such a shame the person who put such whimsy and magic in the world has gotta spew that hate. RIP Harry, a wizard no more

Personalized timezones based on solar noon for wherever you will be that day. We'll need an army of precogs to chart every one's future noon whereabouts. But I think it will be well worth it.

Lol what part of fuck the oligarchy do you interpret as me "protecting the rich" fuck em. Bring out the guittiones I say. Fuck dude. I'm done

Lol I'm not trying to harass anyone. Just push back on the notion that all the world's problems can be laid at the feet of the rich. And if we're gonna collectively pull ourselves out of this ecological disaster we've gotta change. Be willing to eat less meat travel less, consume less overall. And plant a damn garden while you're at it!

You're right in that I don't know anything about you. Except that you're willing to completely miss the point of what's been said and decide to take offence.

And so nothing changes and the planet continues to burn. Keep up your conspicuous consumption because some dickbag has a yacht and custom tax scheme. It's whataboutisim. For sure fuck the oligarchy. But if all the billionaires died over night it would barely make a dent in our co2 emissions.

But hey! At least you got yours. Don't worry, the global south will suffer sooner and worse than you.

I don't like this argument that it's just the rich screwing us over. Ya, they're dickbags with no small responsibility for perpetuating our current situation and their insane lifestyles. But all of us need to use less junk, travel less, and eat a whole lot less meat.

I know so many people who will talk about the environment, but will still think nothing of hopping on a plane for the most frivolous of reasons. Won't even consider public transportation. Eats meat every day.

Ya the oligarchy is fucking us over big time. But that doesn't absolve you of any sort of personal responsibility. Reduce, reuse, recycle. And plant a garden while your at it!

Chappie was great!

 

Ohh ya baby!

 

I stand with the otters

 

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
