@cursedsql Oh, that's not what I meant. It would probably be good *for me*.What I meant is that it doesn't make climate disaster, war, AI and fascist death cults go away.(I never had a Twitter and fedi is currently the only social media I use.)

Today, I read the comic book "Aliens: What if...". It's about what might have happened if Carter Burke - the most hateable character in the entire franchise, a villain who puts even the titular aliens to shame - survived the events of the movie.And now I don't think I can ever un-see how much Carter Burke physically looks like Sam Altman.

Let me be clear: I don't think a Harris presidency would, on its own, "fix climate disaster" or "avoid World War III". Those two things are beyond the powers of the US president, whoever she or he may be.But I do think a Trump presidency would *exacerbate* climate disaster and the risk of World War III. Because those are definitely *within* the powers of the US president.

If I search for "Decommercialized zone", DuckDuckGo autocorrects to "Demilitarized zone".This seems eerily insightful.

@datarama and the Dresden books. But they never really resonated fir me.

@faassen I live in a small apartment in a city centre, so no gardening for me anyway.(My lifelong preferred activity to center myself has been programming, and lately that has started feeling meaningless.)

I am thoroughly tired of living in this particular time.

If you're a computer toucher:What are some cool creative things you do that *aren't* on the computer?

So, I played Undertale.Wow.

@amydentata Here is a great profit-making private-sector model for asteroid mining.1. Demonstrate the technology necessary to alter the course of asteroids for mining.2. Threaten the governments of the world to pay you a large sum of money, or you drop an asteroid on Earth.(I *think* it was qntm who originally came up with this.)
