Gotta rewatch Forever Knight I guess.

The Earth is huge and doesn’t really care about us. We disappear, in a hundred years nothing’s left except some exotic isotopes in a thin geological layer.

Correct. And I weep about it almost every day. One, because I miss it (and my youth), and two, because I look at kids today and it can’t be fun.

I am comfortable with the knowledge that I spent the best years of my life in the '90s. The music, the clothes, the general vibe, the prices… The few wars of the era look like kids playing Risk compared to what’s brewing now.

The lifestyle and material conditions enabled by a century and a half of fossil fuels are coming to a close.

It will only get worse from here. There is no recovery.

Yes, and what does sodium intake have to do with anything?

Utter nonsense.

That’s … not what causes gout.

That’s a challenging wank.

Imagine a woman in hot pants with thighs like a Robert Crumb dream woman.

Yeah, I think I live in a dreamworld like in the old show Computer Chronicles when computers were presented by scientists and used by engineers to do actual work. It was easy (for me) to grasp.

Now we have every sector of human activity, including those I consider at best useless, at worst harmful, like endless advertising, merchandising, propagandizing, misinforming, etc boosted exponentially because of essentially free computer power.

Not building a leisure society and using our tools for good, instead we just amplify the worst aspects of humanity.

Because that’s what computers used to be for. Now we drive engagement.

Are you using a hair dryer on your frozen pizza?

Try a 1980s Genicom with separate containers for toner and waste toner.

Hyperbole and a half style artwork.

But a third is less than a quarter!
