  • Yeah every fertilizer plant in Bangladesh and most in India were shut down earlier this year due to the closing of the straight. They may have reopened by now, but they lack of production could have impacts. Stores of fertilizer were used up to compensate and with heat/water stress, you need more fertilizer.

    There is still time to plant things if you can. Do some research to make sure you can harvest in your climate zone (and the zones have been updated now as well in the last few years)before the frost arrives, if it ever does. Be prepared to baby your garden to make sure it doesnt scorch in the heat.


  • This el nino is literally breaking all records or expectations. We haven’t had anything even close to this strong since 1877, the year without a winter, when an estimated 50 million people (3% of global population at the time) died from famines and heat stress. This is much stronger than scientist think even that was. It’s so ridiculously above any prediction of what was even possible that they don’t know how to describe it.

    There are already crop failures reported and the Midwest looks ripe to turn into a dust bowl again.

    There will be extreme weather the world over this year and next, no doubt. I expect massive famines in much of the poorer parts of the world but even greatly affecting food prices in the west and China.

    It is completely impossible to overstate just how devastatingly bad every new piece of data is looking.


  • You children will grow to love the panopticon. They will learn their place and never question it, even in private, because there is no private anymore. They will never have any original thoughts or conversations because those lead to crimes. If you don’t want to commit crimes, then why are you not repeating the norms of the society we have created for you? Clearly you are formenting some criminal plot.

    Against the wall citizen!

    It’s not overconfidence to know that I don’t listen to ads. Even if they are playing near me, I drown it out with my own hatred for them. If I don’t hear or see them, how do they affect me, precisely?

    These posts are always about GENERALITIES in human behavior. Not the extreme ends or random differences. And yet there are always hordes of people claiming that EVERY SINGLE HUMAN ALIVE reacts the same to advertising.

    What overconfidence you have in your own knowledge of the human mind that you can tell me about my own.



  • These companies are robbing the planets environment of so much energy and resources in order to rob us of our time so that they can rob us of our money. When you think of the scale of waste, it is literally incomprehensible to human brains. Almost certainly, MILLIONS OF YEARS OF COLLECTIVE HUMAN LIFE have been needlessly and carelessly wasted by other people intentionally. I genuinely cannot think of a more purely evil institution in the history of humanity.
