 @breadandcircuses point the finger wherever you want. We are all guilty. Nobody cares enough. It will happen someday. We really donβt care. And before someone starts a refutal, remember that you are using a phone or computer, none produced in an environment friendly way. @gir1dhar @breadandcircuses Many of us *do* care. I am using a phone, yes, but that does not absolve Exxon of its culpability nor mitigate the degree of its culpability. If it had not funded misinformation there would have been commercial pressure to minimise environmental damage as we advanced into the computer age. @JMacfie @breadandcircuses im not doing whataboutism. What im doing is mea culpa. There is a big difference. Im watching my part in the process. @TappinLisa rhymes with another lovely Scots word that always makes me smile - "sitooterie". A place where you sit outside. π @breadandcircuses It is more pathetic than funny... Filled with pathos about the world then and now.  @breadandcircuses Youβre probably crying because the dinosaurs in the comic are very dear to this comic series public and have been for a while, and this strip implies their death. While the dinosaurs ending in real life is well-known, we never expected to see the dinosaurs on the series die. Seeing characters dear to you die can make you sad, and therefore can make you cry.    @breadandcircuses I know exactly how you feel, Exxon knew in the 70s that burning fossil fuels would destroy our climate but they kept quiet. Greed over planet.  @breadandcircuses @aloa5 @charles_ex @Ginger149 small stuff could cut half @sh33p_purple  Now I want a movie about an intelligent dinosaur civilization that is aware of the the catastrophe, debates and stalls, then at last, tries at the very last moment desperately to do something --and fails. Then at the end they suppose that future life will *at least* remember them: but of course we don't-- all their tech was made of organics, and worked in ways we don't recognize now.   @futurebird @breadandcircuses @futurebird @breadandcircuses It's not quite what you describe, but check out the Quintaglio Ascension trilogy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintaglio_Ascension_Trilogy @christopheguinet @breadandcircuses that's cute and all, until you realize that the AnPrim message is very directly calling for a eugenics-based genocide because that is the effect that their suggestions, if implemented, would have. @davidfetter well, would you point me to an example, I admit I don't know their other messages.  |
@breadandcircuses Because it is sad.
