I get that you have hope, but magical thinking isn't going to fix this unless you are literally capable of magic or you have a time machine powered by positive thoughts or something.

We are already globally over capacity on fresh water. Crops are already failing. The earth is already at heat storage capacity. Carbon emissions are still rising. Population numbers are still rising. Capitalist industry is still posting record profits.

Most people won't even consider a vegan diet and campaigning for community gardens and bike lanes isn't going to magically increase the heat storage capacity of the oceans.

So I am genuinely asking you, mitigation of resourse depletion, works how? Mitigation of thermodynamics works how?

What type of hard work do you think can fix this?

Pretty sure the 'enlightened centrist' in this meme represents the 'leftwing' party, does it not? That's the party that 'compromises' when the Overton window moves right.

Everybody on the actual left is represented by the crying figure.

Ah, I got woosh-ed.

It's only going to take a few more years as hot as the last two, for the ice mass at the poles to be depleted enough that the Earth will be absorbing more heat from the sun than it reflects.

This is called the Blue Ocean Event and it will set off the Clathrate Gun.

Once those happen (and they're going to, soon) the planet is quite literally going to be cooked in it's own atmosphere. Not much survives being cooked.

And while we're on the topic of apocalyptic and yet fully foreseen disasters that most people are still somehow oblivious to:

Did you know that we're going to be 40% over capacity on fresh water globally by 2030?

And that when this drought reduces humanity's numbers by several billion (and if the BOE doesn't happen first), the rest of us are still going to starve to death anyway, because 90% of top soil globally is at risk of depletion by 2050.

You might want to look all those things up, and maybe book a therapy appointment or something.

Depending on how organised you are, and how much soup/boiled root veg you eat, soaking your rice over night and steaming it over soup/veg you're boiling the next day, is going to be much more energy efficient than probably all other methods.

I think brown rice only takes about ten minutes to steam once it's been soaked overnight, but I have never actually tried this method myself as I don't eat that much soup or boiled root veg, and I have a bad habit of forgetting things if they're not in my direct line of sight.

I cook all the rice I eat in an enamelled cast iron pot, on an induction stove hotplate.

(I am hella poor these days and have metered electricity, this has been the cheapest way I've found so far that works for me.)

• Add 1 part washed brown rice into the pot

• Add 1.5 parts cold water into the pot

• Add salt or stock cube/seasoning if desired

• Bring to a rolling boil for 2 to 3 minutes

• Cover pot with foil and lid to trap heat and steam

• Reduce heat to the lowest it can go while simmering continously

• Simmer for 15 minutes

• Turn off heat but do not touch or move the pot.

• Wait 15 to 20 minutes for the rice to steam cook the rest of the way.

This method works great, unless it is the dead of winter and cold enough in my kitchen that the pot cools too quickly to finish steaming the rice through. In which case I add a little more water and bring it to a boil again, and cover, lower the heat and steam it again for ten minutes, while hovering over the pot shivering and debating whether or not to just eat it as is, or wait for it to be both mushy and crunchy.

Not to detract from this guy likely yes being a massive nazi piece of shit-

-but many deeply religious Polish Catholics who lived through WW2 and the atrocities, had (maybe still have, idk all my grandparents and aunties who did are now dead) Jerusalem crosses on their walls, usually displayed alongside their many JP2 pictures, crucifixes and black madonna's.

Also not to say that many of these Polish Catholics weren't also massive racists, but I'm pretty sure the Jerusalem crosses they displayed were a Catholic thing for them rather than a white supremacy thing.

We say from our echo chambers while marvelling at how inefficient and poorly run the world around us is.

You mean non-brewed condiment?

You wanna level up? Try Brzęczyszczykiewicz.

Lmao, way to go proving you can't read.

But hey guys, don't panic, we can still fix this!

If every country aside from the US just massively overshoots on their Paris accord agreements for the next decade, we will stop climate change in its tracks and save the world! And you won't even have to give up animal products, fast fashion, or your car.

So just stay positive and keep recycling everyone! Team effort, amirite?
