I'm in the same boat as you already have my citizenship and flying over in October to scope out a few cities and meet up with family and work out paperwork to transfer my job since I'm full time remote and so is my wife.
No you are 100% right I should probably delete my post to not put more of that out in the world. Or change it to be more what my main focus is spend time with the people you love as we don't have much time left but I guess that could be about anything we could get by a bus at any moment.
No you are right if it was just a country's policy that could be reversed that would be one thing but we already hit 1.5C and even if stopped everything today it's going to be rough but we are not stopping everything today. We are going to accelerate for the next 4 years to make old rich people even richer. The climate doesn't stop on a dime if we stop at 3C it will coast on its own to 4C. Also I do help where I can to ease the suffering around me. I donate $300 a month to my local food bank it's not much but they tell me that's feeds 20 people. I am part of a Mutual Aid Network. I still help I just have switched my energy from trying to change things to just harm reduction. Kind of like human civilization is on hospice and I'm the nurse that is just giving them morphine.
Note I do this as a disabled veteran that needs a certain medicine in order to live. Once that med can't be made I become confined to my bed then die a little after.
All counties are about to hit a birthing cliff. We will have lots of hard choices about what to do with our elderly ironically there will be lots of suffering that that generation caused due to the consequences of their actions they thought they would not see in their lifetime.
Helmets work better now than back then. Go to the VA you will see lots of traumatic brain injury vs before they would have just been in a body bag. Also movie vs real life. In real life there are worse things than death down range.
Also helmets now focus more on shrapnel than bullets since. You are more likely to be taken out by IED or artillery than a snipers bullet and if you are no armor is stopping that.
No I really don't I see water wars and cold war style espionage but no WW2 style conflict. But I also think we will have Societal collapse by 2030 due to climate change and being unable to grow food. Honestly after Cheeto got reelected I have just gone numb to all the of it. I am savoring each day.
I hug my love ones just a little longer than I used to. I write a log of each day to I remember it a little better. I have made a bucket list and I'm trying to check off as much as possible. But even with all that I sometimes catch myself mourning the earth. Also it's good to video your love ones it's awkward but it will be nice to hear their voice when you can't anymore.
People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don't need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.
Oh I guess the wired one is rgb free I got the one that works with the charging Matt so didn't have a choice I just turned off rgb on everything and it saves all that on onboard memory
I mean the power is on all the time she just has to wish for them to blow up but yeah I would have go live with some monks after I did the first batch to make sure my mind is centered but I'm willing to make that sacrifice
Lol I deserve it X is so cringe
