Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.

Thank you!

Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.

Cool! Still not gonna put all my eggs in the fascist-sympathetic basket

You’re better off leaving Rumble behind

Has Mozilla indicated any openness to taking that approach with Firefox?

I have a similar setup, and no. Once it’s configured, it’s easy peasy, but it would probably be a difficult and confusing process for a non-technical person to get through without help. Addy.io is a great service that a non-technical user shouldn’t have any issue using

My therapist has years of training to know how to appropriately and responsibly help people with their emotions and trauma. An AI can say words that might be similar to what a therapist would say, but there’s no way I could ever trust an AI to handle such personal and important parts of me

That was an excellent and well-thought out response, thank you for sharing it! It’s a thorny question for sure, and I appreciate your nuanced view

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I am a trans woman who was raised Catholic, so I feel similarly. I’ve had to do so much work in therapy just to get to a place where I can accept myself for who I am. A lot of those old beliefs were baked in deeper than I realized.

I carry a lot of resentment towards my (very devout) parents for raising me in the church, but I also recognize my experience is not emblematic of every person’s experience being raised in a religious household.

Oh, not too bad. Feeling annoyed with my hair, today. I’ve been growing it out, and it’s about shoulder length now. However, when I started to grow it out, I did it with an undercut. Now I’m trying to grow the undercut out to have all my hair the same length, and it’s at an awkward stage right now. I can’t really put my hair back, because the disconnect is too stark and the undercut is awkward length. But my hair gets greasy after like a day, so wearing it down means I have to stay really on top of washing it. Not the end of the world to deal with for a few months, but just kind of obnoxious

Gang stalking is not real. I recommend reaching out to a therapist as a first step. If there are other resources you need, they’ll be able to help you get them too.

Right now, nothing, really. There’s a lot of confusion and volatility at the moment, so I’m trying to keep a cool head rather than react blindly. I’m going to keep my head down at work, keep contributing to my 401k like normal, not make major unexpected purchases, and maybe re-up on some bulk staples. If shit keeps getting worse, I’ll adapt from there

Ah shit, is there a ban on politics questions? Sorry. I’m almost always on mobile, so I miss stuff in sidebars a lot

I’m glad that’s worked well for you! For the overwhelming majority, keeping their money in the 401k and continuing to make regular contributions, regardless of market volatility, is the wisest course of action.
