Blue Ocean Event 2027

@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

This is a good explanation.

Look this up yourself with other sources though too. You'll want to fnd out how much ice coverage is left at the poles, how much we've lost this year so far, and the loss projection for if the next 5 years are as hot as 2023. Then look up what will happen to the earth with all the unreflected solar radiation we'll be absorbing without the ice caps.

You all need to lower your expectations. Billions of people are going to die.

I'm surprised green tea isn't more popular, especially as a morning drink considering it doesn't cause bad breath or rot your teeth with acids and sugar.

Maybe they need the laxative affects?

Are you able to read in your dreams?

I ask because it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t but I regularly have dreams where I continue books I’m reading irl (they usually devolve into naritive nonsense over time and then sometimes to blank pages, but the actual text is definitely deciferable), text messages, computer screens, and road signs, in both...

Sometimes I see signs I can read but that's about it.

A while back I had an incredibly vivid dream about getting to and on the tube at King Herod station. That tube logo roundel with the name in the strike through was so, so clear and in several places in the station, along with a map of the line I could read. Upon waking I spent a good ten minutes googling it as I was so convinced it had to be a memory and was a real place.

Books and the internet have never worked for me in dreams though and I've had plenty of dreams where I've been trying to text someone and couldn't as the keyboard was gibberish and words didn't work.

And kinda related I suppose- I had a dream I was trying desperately to unlock my phone throughout this long adventure, and when I woke up my memory of my phone unlock glyph was fried as I'd basically overwritten it by doing it wrong so many times in the dream.

The whole following day had me freaking out trying to unlock my phone, to the point of drawing the nine dots out in my notebook over and over and over again, trying to link them up in the way I knew had to be right but wasn't working.

When it finally came back I realised that I'd been drawing it out mirror flipped all day. It's made me slightly uneasy ever since for some reason. It hasn't helped that I've started to notice other mirror flipped things in dreams after that too.

What's the consensus here regarding Babylon Five?

I have the series on DVD but I’ve never seriously cracked it, only seen a few episodes. Was wondering what people here think, is it as good as the internet often says it is? I know it was an inspiration for one of my favorite franchises (Mass Effect) and The Orville had a cute reference to it by making its main actor the...

Babylon 5 is brilliant and you should really give it another shot.

What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?

Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can...

Sleep. I like sleep. It's incredibly soothing to switch off from reality and often my dreams are vivid and interesting.

Emasculation happens when 'feminine behaviour' in men removes pervieved power and agency and makes them feel degraded. Bare in mind, weakness is considered a feminine behaviour.

What removes power and agency from women is not us displaying masculinity, it's having our gender and sex used against us and/or against our will.

So being percieved as overly emotional/unstable, sexually promiscuous, not capable of intelligence or leadership, etc. and being raped and physically manhandled.

That is what is degrading to women.

OurTragicUniverse ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

I was working under a different understanding where emasculation is humiliation due to lack of ‘traditional masculine trait’

Men who lack 'traditional masculine traits' or behave in 'un-manly' ways are referred to with what sort of language?

What are the humiliating comparisons made to these men?

OurTragicUniverse , (edited )
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

Think about why is it demeaning to call a man a 'sissy'. What is that comparing him to?

And calling a man a cuck is emasculating because it implies he is weaker than, and controlled by, who?

Give it a few years. Global fresh water reserves will be 40% over capacity by 2030, and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.

And that's just water and food. Billions of people are going to die in the next 30 years.

What else are we going to do?

Smoke them if you've got them and enjoy what little time there is left as much as possible. There is no future.

OurTragicUniverse ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

So what's your plan? How do you think the next 30 years are going to pan out?

OurTragicUniverse ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

I really hope this doesn't happen. We are quite literally parasites and have proven as a species to be unable to govern ourselves without greed, corruption and bigotry.

Any surviving humans will not end up as solarpunk hippies, they will be bronze age cults warring for power and resources.

I plan to get fat, watch cartoons, paint and read books, and then die from the consequences of climate collapse.
What about you?

@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

This is already happening.

That's a good plan, here's hoping you've already set it in motion.

Rick rolls aren't funny yo. It's just tiresome.

How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

OurTragicUniverse ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

Salad because pizza is classed as a vegetable in your country?

This is probably the wrong place to ask but can someone explain the funky mosaic looking court badges they wear during Una's trial in SNW? (Pretty sure I've seen them before somewhere too.)

I tried looking it up but only got Star Trek badges in my search results and it was pissing me off.

OurTragicUniverse OP ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

@Amputret thank you!

Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account?

There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

OurTragicUniverse ,
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

Not really. My old account had a curated list of subreddits that was vast (hundreds) and content-wise, kept me miles away from the ugliness that is the actual front page content of reddit.

I went and browsed the front page once after deleting my account and felt kinda sick tbh.

I did go read the episode discussions for several Strange New Worlds episodes and Fionna and Cake though. I miss those big group moments where all the details are discussed and appreciated and nowhere else really has that in the same scale (I hate discord and it's not the same).

I didnt visit my tumblr for a week and acquired 30 new pornbot followers.
Tumblr Live and all the new algorithm fuckery is really messing up the site : (

Eh they cracked down hard on all queer and trans stuff to the point of banning users over posting fully clothed selfies, but hetro cis stuff is still everywhere.
The pornbots have been around for years but they've ramped up big time since Tumblr Live came online.

Bet you 5 bucks it's some stupid wicca thing in the usa.

OurTragicUniverse , (edited )
@OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social avatar

Which tribe?
It's gross and racist to make stuff up about native americans to add to your woowoo wicca stories.

Wicca was started as a sex cult by Gerald Gardener a 100 years ago, and it was based almost entierly off a book of complete pulled-from-her-arse bullshit about witch cults in western europe by Margaret Murray.

Do you know what happens when you put lemons in salt? The juices get sucked out and you get preserved lemons. Lemons contain 20% more water than humans but the result would be the same.

If you know wicca is stupid bullshit, stop sharing bad creepypasta about it.

Wasps are also pollinators and are just as vital to the ecosystems they live in as bees and other native insects.

I mean, they have a point.

This but also humans are inherently greedy, easy to corrupt, and prone to power hungry authoritarianism, so no system we create to govern ourselves has ever, or will ever, be fair or just.

The irony of a Star Trek fan saying this.

SNW and LD are the only two Star Trek shows with consistently good writing and acting.

So far I'm between Kbin, Tildes, Squabbles, Fark and Something Awful forums.

I'd like an invite to Tildes as they're pretty cool over there, plus that UI is so calming.

(Thank you for the invite!)
