      Fuck that movie hurt to watch. I actually had to stop and take 400mg of edibles to finish watching. Seriously; do not watch it sober or you’ll punch your tv.

    This economic crash is going to be so much more painful than a nice quick asteroid impact that vaporizes you in a fraction of a second. Jealous of the dinosaurs right now.

      You’re romanticizing dinosaur’s situation tho. Most weren’t fatally hit by asteroid, but slowly perished from consequences of that hit afterwards, including worsening of air quality due to smoke and ash, different cataclysms like volcano eruptions and floods, and due to food shortage that happened due to aforementioned things.

      So kinda what we’re about to get anyway minus the asteroid.

        minus the asteroid

        Hey. Dont lose hope.

        But also saying clikate change is bad is violence. You need to enthusiadtically kill yourself, and the rest of us with you, or you’re a murderer.

        Thanks for pointing that out. That said, I sure wouldn’t mind being among the dinosaurs within the immediate blast radius of the impact point. Like sitting on top of a detonating thermonuclear device.

        I dunno, I heard somewhere that the whole world basically turned into an oven almost instantly. The vast majority of dinosaurs were dead on day 1.

        Edit: I think it was this RadioLab https://radiolab.org/podcast/dinopocalypse-redux

        Edit 2: Added the quote. All temps are in F.

        Which means that if you were a terrestrial dinosaur anywhere above the ground on the Earth on that day, you would have experienced some heat that is almost unimaginable. Maybe it started at a hundred degrees, because it was June. It was summer. But within minutes, it would have been 300 degrees. 500 degrees. 700 degrees. 900 degrees. Estimates are on that day, temperatures topped out at something like 1,200 degrees. At that temperature, nothing can protect you. Your scales, your fur, whatever you got, it’s not gonna do any good. Your blood will literally start to boil inside your body, and you will die.

          But if you don’t do everything in your power to turn the heat up, you are endorsing violence. How dare you.

          Even speaking out against being cooked like tjat is emcouraging violemce. How fucking dare you. What do you have to say for yourself?

    I’ve always seen the economy system as the biggest scam in humanity. Am I wrong by thinking like that?

      So, there are things called ‘economies’-what stuff gets made/done, who it goes to/is for, how it moves around.

      Money kind of exists to obfuscate this and alienate us from even the parts of it we physically touch.

      Then there’s ‘economics’, which is to economies as scientology is to science. Or maybe as the ‘patriot freedom privacy act’ is to freedom and privacy.

      It started off as something legit, trading and bartering. The idea of money as a substitute for direct bartering made sense too, since dividing some things isn’t practical. As to where things went bad, I’m sure there’s tons of debate on that. And there’s always been scammers, like that guy Ea-nāṣir and his damn sub-standard crap he passed off as copper.

      which economy system? Because its just the title of an important section of a government.
