Before I forget

Happy first contact day.

To strive for a better tomorrow, to fight the demons of our past, to challenge the problems of today.
For infinite diversity, for that our combined strength outweigh our flaws.

In the darkness of today let us share the light, so our tomorrow will be bright.

Love long and prosper, my friends.🖖🏽

Reduzir o consumo de carne diminui drasticamente as #emissões de CO2e. Se ainda não estás pronto para te tornares #vegan, podes começar por #comer de forma mais #consciente. A vida dos animais não nos pertence, e o #futuro também não.

Cutting meat cuts #emissions—every bite counts.
If you are not yet ready to become #vegan, you can start by #eating more #conscious. Animals lives aren’t ours to take, and neither is the #future.

Bar chart titled "Greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of food product." The chart shows the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide-equivalents (kg CO₂e), associated with producing 1 kilogram of various food products. The emissions are weighted by the warming potential of different gases over a 100-year timescale. From highest to lowest emissions: Beef (beef herd): 99.48 kg CO₂e Lamb & Mutton: 39.72 kg CO₂e Beef (dairy herd): 33.3 kg CO₂e Prawns (farmed): 26.87 kg CO₂e Cheese: 23.88 kg CO₂e Pig Meat: 12.31 kg CO₂e Poultry Meat: 9.87 kg CO₂e Eggs: 4.67 kg CO₂e Rice: 4.45 kg CO₂e Milk: 3.15 kg CO₂e Tomatoes: 2.09 kg CO₂e Maize: 1.7 kg CO₂e Wheat & Rye: 1.57 kg CO₂e Peas: 0.98 kg CO₂e Bananas: 0.86 kg CO₂e Potatoes: 0.46 kg CO₂e Nuts: 0.43 kg CO₂e Below the chart, explanatory notes define greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e), noting how CO₂e values include other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide, weighted by their global warming potential over 100 years.

“Perhaps…humanity can change the future that I saw if enough of us were to suddenly wake up to the crisis we are facing and radically change our behavior. I hope we do. I would love for my vision of our future collapse to be wrong.”

“…life is open-ended and subject to change. The future is not something that is “out there,” something we can reach out and touch like an apple on a table. It is a self-emerging dance with an uncountable number of variables. And yet, these variables have a momentum and a trajectory. There is so much momentum behind the forces of history and our deeply entrenched cultural patterns that perhaps what I was seeing was not the future but a probable future. Perhaps I was tuning into the open-ended flow of historical currents, and yet currents that at this point in time have a high degree of inevitability.”

If super-bullies conquer the headlines with absurd crap, imagine a world without bullies in power.
It's on us to counter their #narratives with how we would like the future to be. It is up to all of us to fight for this future. Not tomorrow but now!
Write *your* plot of humanity and cooperation.

@amiya_rbehera This is an important and meaningful topic. So it will be ignored. 😢

Humanity dare not face what it has done to our world, and what we need to do to change things. Specifically, it's what we must give up — all that completely unnecessary *consumption* that we just can't live without? 🙄😢

Gemini may be good at coding but it is completely incompetent at a general level.

Relatively simple query to recommend children's activities in the local town, he made up the answers, after being warned that the answers must be true and verified, he made them up again

Question: What children's activities would he recommend in the local town?

Answer: Relax at a Beach Bar: Many beach bars along the Torrox beaches are very family-oriented. Kids can play on the sand nearby while adults relax with a drink or enjoy some local food like grilled sardines.

WTF

We are always a-looking ahed, and that iz the way tew look; if the man at the wheel looks back he will soon beach hiz vessell.
