Well before they were an apartheid ethnostate, sort of like America used to be. Democratic, kinda, but only for some.

I guess this is worse?

Are you kidding? Cyberpunks get to fuck over a corp, this is absolutely a win for the user base!

Actually it's only sterile in the bladder, once it passes through the urethra it picks up bacteria.

There are specific people who are, together, responsible. The oil execs that chose to cover up the truth about global warming, the meat industry execs who did the same, the hucksters that sell the lie of carbon sequestration and ethanol fuel and hydrogen fuel as solutions, the investors that continue to pump money into oil exploration projects, and the politicians that have stopped any meaningful progress from happening. There are, in fact, individual people that we can point to and say "they are the problem" - it's not abstract.

We have enemies and they're killing us.

I imagine pretty much every East/Southeast Asian hacker is just assumed to be Chinese.

Factory farms where everyone is being fattened up in cages on a slurry of hate and memes.

You're treating the threat as something abstract, like there aren't specific people who are to blame for destroying the world. As if it's no one's fault, so violence falls on anyone in the name of survival. Even puppies and kittens lol

I think we have to treat climate change as the same class of threat as someone shooting at us, and that means identifying the shooters and .. "disarming" them.

Well, no, I'm not that greedy for life. After a certain point it's not worth it and I'll just make it quick and painless. Life isn't always preferable to death, I'd need to be able to live with myself afterwards!

Do you actually think this scientist was trying to say "there is no hope we're all going to die"?

If that's the case, the only thing left is revenge.

That's going to be a lot uglier than self defense.

Yes.

I won't die quietly.

Sure, but that's the point - a death sentence isn't certain death anymore, so saying this milestone is a death sentence is completely accurate.

Or do you think these scientists actually meant "we are all 100% going to die"?

Probably.

Billionaires seem to think nature is irrelevant. See: Elon Musk and his Mars fetish lol
