The last IPCC climate change report predicted that shits gonna get real fucking bad for a while, but at the rate we’re going it should at least turn around sometime between 80 to 100 years.
We could shut of all fossil fuel usage tomorrow except for where it’s needed (eg a single generator to kick start a countries power grid if things actually go down) and make a painful hard switch to renewables. We could begin using renewable energy sources to start extracting CO2 from the atmosphere.
I don’t know and can’t speak to how effective that would be, from memory the earth would continue to warm for some time to come even on their optimistic predictions.

It’s a local thing. My town doesn’t let you ride on the main street sidewalk, but you can everywhere else. There are signs posted at the end of the street that you would never notice.
That being said, ride in the road. Assert some dominance.
Unless the cars on the road are going to fast for comfort or are too agressive, then do whatever you can to not feel like you are going to die at any moment.
When I learned to drive there was a pretty big emphasis put on paying attention to cyclists in round abouts. Nowadays the official rule for how a bicycle should go through a round about is: in the middle of the road. Even as a car driver I love the boldness of this approach.
Well if this is actually recent, then it is definitely intentional. Trees are usually trimmed in early spring, cutting them back that much in the middle of summer puts a lot of stress on the trees and risks killing them.
(if memory serves) According to a podcast I listened to yesterday, they don’t own the trees. They’re public property trees. Trimming was not scheduled.
Yeah I saw this and while I’m not a tree management expert I’m like “they basically left no leaves on these poor things”. With the insane heat we’ve been seeing, this can’t be good.
This isn’t a standard tree trimming practice, because it looks like total shit and is guaranteed to fuck up the growth pattern. No city would pay to do this to their trees.
The person you’re replying to is wrong. The city hasn’t given a permit to trim the trees for the past 3 years, and the way it was cut is harmful to the tree (25% of canopy is the maximum that should be removed at any time).
Is this supposed to distract from the fact the company broke the law to try to break a strike and likely harmed the long term health of the cut trees? Is there some reason you don’t want us to stay on that topic?
Those trees will leaf back out and be completely fine.
My point is y’all don’t know shit about trees and have knee jerk reactions which make the movement look bad.
You all are “derkaderka dey cut da trees!” like it’s the end of the world, and it’s literally fucking nothing. And y’all over here, which thankfully no one knows about, playing arm chair tree surgeon/botanist/biologist claiming the sky is falling.
The trees are city property. You can’t just cut city trees because you feel like it. The city has already fined them and the penalties will only increase if the trees don’t recover.
If you know something the Forestry Service doesn’t you should get in touch with them. They outline pretty clearly that what is pictured is bad for the trees, and it’s a bad time of year to do it because it makes the trees more susceptible to disease. This isn’t an opinion, it’s in the government handbook.
Go have whatever argument you’re dying to have with someone else.
You know the city does that, right? The city did not give NBC Universal permission to trim these trees. NBC Universal did it anyway and lied about doing it themselves every year. They very clearly should not be responsible for doing it since you do not do this in the middle of summer.
You know how some shops that have loyalty programs? Get points when you spend money in a shop that kind of thing. The fraud is when a customer whom does not have a loyalty card is served by a cashier who does have a loyalty card and the cashier swipes their own card to get the points. The t&C of the card likely says the person who spends the money is the one entitled to the points.
I put it under the category of victimless crime because the points are made up and the only real loss is the corporation running the program and fuck those programs.
Oh no, also they don’t get the valuable customer data they were looking for either. That’s the whole point of those cards, to track their customers better.
I worked with someone who did this for 2 years before getting caught. They raked up over $3000 worth of store credit. Got caught when they used some of it in front of another employee, and that employee snitched.
But for real I hate loyalty programs. They data mine the hell out of loyal customers and offer pennies in return if you’re lucky.
Okay after I finally got over how adorable kitty is being all cozy and cute, I noticed the blanket. I need one like it where did you get it?? Or how did you make it? It looks as cozy as the cat
Just to disinguage firther, send your messages on reddit thru chatGPT first, tell it to “speak like an redditor who secretly wants to sell you reddit gold” or other sutch oddities
promptRework I do not care about the pixels on some reddit nonsense site. I hope reddit admins remove anything critical and people will simply stop using it. to be honest about the upsides of reddit gold, keep negative tone, be verry casual, be verry short
responceI couldn’t care less about the pixels on that Reddit nonsense site. But hey, gotta admit, Reddit Gold does have some perks (if you’re into that stuff). Still, it won’t change my mind – hoping the admins take down any critical stuff, and maybe, just maybe, folks will finally wise up and ditch it. #UnimpressedAF
