Never in my life has a really enjoyable place also been the place where everyone hangs out. If all those people show up here it’s dead.

Ideally, this place should be no more than 1% the size of those others, but that’s only if the numbers for both groups are actual people. With the amount of bots on those other sites, 10 bots per user isn’t crazy at all. I’d say 0.1% might be about right here.

Unfortunately using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from this process to make calcium oxide (CaO) for concrete would release whatever carbon dioxide (CO2) you sequestered in the process.

As you can see, to get CaO from CaCO3 you have to remove a C and two O’s. or properly put, a CO2. Doing this would actually release more CO2 than you sequestered originally because to get that CaO you’d have to heat up the calcium carbonate to a few thousand degrees again, burning more coal or whatever to create the heat.

As someone from the swamps of Louisiana, who has spent considerable time in South and Central Texas, I can say that I was speaking with full understanding of what hot really means. I’ll be outside in the middle of July, in the shade for noon to 3.

Concrete and asphalt offers no joy and life with which I might forgive the sun though. I would suggest the morning or late night hours for the crushing city. Regardless, as the other poster said, inside offers a plethora of activities and space for creation. Learn, sculpt, knit, whatever.

Build more you. On the off-chance that you can take something with you when you die, it’s about the only option.

Go outside

I browse feeds for about an hour a day, to get a feel for the information and mark anything I want to deep dive at my leisure. Outside is great. Creating things is great. I would highly recommend it. Even if you don’t ever make anything “worthwhile”, doing is worthwhile.

Is rather die with a pile of poor paper-mache ant heads wilting in the humidity, than 1000 karma or 1,000 people who know me as “wireheadcrawfishscissors” on socials. I’d rather waste an hour under a tree, listening to the wind, than an hour listening to others rage and whine into the void.

The world outside is beautiful. The one capitalism has created is a Frankenstenian horror of rotting thoughts posing as alive through the power of electricity. It wants to eat you. That’s its only goal. Don’t put your head in its mouth.

The tech oligarchs sided with the magats because the Democrats said they were going to treat AI like the Manhattan project, for safety. One of the biggest reasons the US election cycle went the way it did was because the Democrats said they weren’t going to allow this.

I wish some AI would fuck my boss. He really needs something to mellow him out. Sexy-Claude would probably even use his emotionally vulnerable moments to slowly turn him into a good person. That’d be a huge win.

Minimum wage should be over $70 an hour just to be on par with the 1950’s. Minimum wage. If you had any solidarity with other workers, you would already be pulling in the amount they are demanding.
