Better fire management of national parks. Time to start doing controlled burns.

This is dumb as rocks

The most charitable interpretation is “well crocodiles didn’t change in the last 100 million years but birds did so that means maybe crocs are closer since birds evolved to get farther away”

That’s dumb because both birds and crocodiles have been changing the whole time. Just because crocs look more similar to their fossils, doesn’t mean they haven’t been evolving/drifting/etc.

Same thing any time someone talks about “sharks haven’t changed”. It’s dumb.

This is some dunning Kruger shit.

K selection be like that

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit

I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.

I don’t have all the answers, it’s like saying I want candy and not knowing how to make it.

That said, maybe something like a tax on children, free contraceptives, free sterilization, free abortion. Pay people when they reach 45 if they don’t have kids. Robot caregivers for elder care in a decreasing population.

Exactly. That’s insane.

This is why I get so mad when people say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource allocation problem”.

No. There are not supposed to be this many fucking humans. Where the fuck are the animals supposed to live???

We need to return to preindustrial population levels so the animals can too

Kinda looks like an older kiefer sutherland

Awesome! So it changes my hardware MAC? very cool I’d love that feature.

Public toilets and water everywhere, handicap accessibility

Literally my advisor. Like damn.

I did two post docs and they were great. I learned many valuable things, foremost among them that it was time to get the fuck out of academia.

Seriously I regret nothing, I had a great time.

I don’t have kids but I’d kind of like to have adult kids when I’m old. So maybe I can adopt a college age person when I’m like 50 or something

The censorship gets to me, too.

Try asking bing image creator to draw Jesus. Not a problem. Buddha, Ganesha, David and Goliath, Zeus, no problem. It will give you great depictions.

Now try asking it to draw the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. No joy.

Censorship.

I asked my mom how much I cost to raise. She said about $35,000 per year.

I figured over 20 years that’s a lot of ski trips, corvettes, grand pianos, surfboards, nice dinners, and home renovation projects. So I decided I’d rather have those.
