I've officially said my goodbyes. It's absolutely fucked over there. This is just one of many serious problems with Reddit. The CEO is tanking it harder than Musk tanked Twitter. He's musk'd it.

Society is a really shitty simulation made by psychotic sadists. No "hacking" was necessarily required. We all agreed to it by doing nothing to actually stop it. Some people just agree more fervently than others. Can definitely be argued as a sort of stockholm syndrome.

I agree! Especially here in the US. Solarpunk has gigantic potential in the Americas overall. I've got big travel plans next year I'm already saving up for but I'll definitely be finding my way to a convention somewhere in the relatively near future.

I fucking love Adam. I wondered where he went. Thanks!

Where was I to find the info on this? I'd like to go if another is held.

Update: I found the link for it at the bottom of the article. It's a german event, also.

I agree. They're not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.

Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.

I'm not vegan but I agree with all of this. Industrialization was the most stupid and evil thing mankind had ever done and it just gets worse and worse. Until things change, death and extinctions are imminent.

People are really inconsistent in general. Most people don't seem to have a defined moral code even when they're religious. This is a really good example of the issue, though. I've seen this too and it's hella frustrating. I don't know if there's really a solution. Capitalism encourages this phenomena though, for sure.

Plastic manufacturing and pollution hurts the entire world, including what is basically lobbyists that they let in to derail the conversation. 99% of plastic production should have ceased 10 years ago. This article made me cry (but thank you for sharing).

This is more specific to capitalism than just corporatism but I do agree with you.

That anybody can disagree with this is truly flabbergasting. China should not be the sole decider of whether our planet lives or dies. I don't... I don't get how anyone, even the Chinese, can disagree with that.

Update: I think it's the petrochemical industry. They've corrupted all the green energy focused subs here super badly from what I've seen so far. I think we've caught their attention already - which may actually be a good sign. We must be doing something effective enough to warrant it.

 

I'm wondering about making a voidpunk community here on slrpnk.net. I've got a bit on my plate to handle moderating it right now but it's a serious consideration for me later in the year. Is it a good idea? Do any of you here identify as such as well? I consider myself part of both communities.
