IMO whether we're fucked or not is not a constructive argument.

In either case, the interpretation of climate change can lead to the same conclusion: a) we're fucked up to the point of no return. So we can keep our wasteful society as is until we extinct, because changing our society will not achieve anything. b) we're not in that bad situation so we can keep our wasteful society as is until the situation gets really bad and requires change.

Anything could be used to justify not making changes and majority of society/indistry ppl in power are super resistant to it (which likely reduces their profit).

In reality, it's not black and white. Even if the 'no return' scenario is real, we can still lessen the climate change effect or delay catastrophic end if we make changes now.

AC could die all of the sudden too. One of my friends had it last summer in Tokyo, had to spend week w/o AC. It happened when he was awake in the morning, but I heard other horror stories of AC stopped at night and waking up with severe dehydration symptoms.

If it only drives the far-right, does that mean Facebook contributed shifting in window of discourse? (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window)

They added chronological, follow-only feed in recent update. Would you return if they have it now? How much ppl returning will be an indicator of its future.

Using engagement for metric will ofc render algorithmic feed "better", i.e. addictive. Their value is not about mental wellbeing.

As Japanese expat I'd appreciate they used nori properly at the outmost. It holds things together so when I eat rolls I often see sesame or rice outside of nori with mild fear of falling out.

And not some random snakes around there, it's the exact same snake.

Give a proper first aid for minor injuries. People tend to dissmiss minor burn/cut/bruises, but first aid right after it is what minimizes lingering pain,.

I'm still more concerned the potential of harm for peole could've recovered if they had better medical access, since the damage is irreversible.
