traveling through the conduit in the mako must have been insane. i feel like we don't talk about this enough

The “Thunk” will always kill me.

Oh, those look fantastic! (And thanks to the commenters for the link to Angela Clayton's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4P2VAMnCSM )

I firmly believe what ever you’re obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you’re real unlucky it was probably twilight.

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

This is leaving out the most crucial piece of why that was a normal reality: UNIONS. Union participation percentage is a measly 10% across all industries for the latest statistics in 2025. Unions are the ones who could fight against the requirement for everyone and their mother to need a minimum of a bachelor's degree. they could fight for working hours to be properly compensated so that the work week was actually 40 hours or less and everything over was actually paid for. The reality of the work place and why we work so much more for so much less is because we are not unionized. the reason europeans seem to have it so much better is because of their strong union culture. there are solutions to these problems and we need to stop obscuring the why.

correct.

does anyone let charn go in bring down the sky? i mean he literally says he was there to kidnap and enslave people. just because you didn't sign up to drop a rock on a planet doesn't negate that...
