Ooh, I like this one.

With their own proprietary fork of Wine, which of course doesn't work as well as the original.

The longer he lives, the more time he has to live with the consequences that catch up to him.

Okay now it's weird how many people are citing things i've also thought about!

I expect him to be a quite significant figure in history textbooks, hopefully as an example of how not to lead, as the USA's version of King Henry VIII of England, and the reason why the constitution and electoral system was changed. A rare example of president->prison pieline taking place in the USA.

However. It just feels like he has some unholy power to prolong our suffering and tank any blows to his career or even his life. I fuoly expect that he'll stay alive as long as possible which wiol prevent americans talking so candidly bout him.

Or maybe it'll allow trump to see every last member of his cult turn on him. Maga voters will finally admit that whoever comes after trump is better, they haven't seen lasting change or security following his regime, and it wasn't at all worth the humiliation they subjected themselves to. They're like a really toxic F-ed up college fraternity.

I'll allow it, but only in prison.

I think historians will likely be deciding if we are already in ww3 or not. Although I'm quite surprised China hasn't moved on Taiwan

I totally agree. If recent Iran conflict war had gone much further or had successfully roped in the USA's NATO allies, it would have fit all those criterias.

It shows that we teeter on a precipice above the pit of wartime

We're already in WW3

Plus water supply rationing, like in Cuba

And I think it will come from AI. It's either that or aliens, and only one of those two actually exist.

Any idea if mass carbon capture could undo runaway venus-like greenhouse effects? I have no hope that humanity will put up with even minor inconveniences until lead starts melting at room temperature at the equator. It would give me hope if there was a way to undo runaway greenhouse processes.

countries dont seem interested in combatting climate change at all. plus there is one country that solely funds anti-climate change as thier economy depends on it, combined with the rest of the oil-gas industry. trying to get funding for research about climate change is a little dicey too.

Venezuela, a prod member of ExxonMobil Conoco-Phillips

I've heard New Zealand is a popular place for that.

Regarding North Korea, it seems like it is a national decision instead of an international decision. There have been cases where trade was allowed to occur with North Korea and it was North Korea which chose to close the program.

Even now, North Korea could theoretically force a more open travel system with Russia and North Korea chooses not to. Hell, North Korea probably could get a peace treaty out of Trump and chooses not to.

I really doubt we're the only sentient life but we'll never meet any is my bet. The observable universe is mind bogglingly huge. The unobservable is so much bigger. So many stars, so many planets.

The earth has been through many many climate changes, this isn't the first, it isn't the last

The earth don't care, it keeps chugging along, no it's us that won't survive

They have a light switch in their house and they don't know what it's for. They just flip it every so often.

Little did they know it's was actually a peace and war switch

Once at a dinner party, one alien was showing the switch to another and they flipped it back and fourth a bunch of times and started WW1

Couple years later, another party and BAM WWII

Here in Japan lots of people wear these while working, it looks like a great solution for mild summer temps of 28c, but sincerely is mostly unusable in the wet heat of other regions.
