Friendly reminder that it’s not about denial anymore. It’s about how urgent is the existential threat of tipping points and how radical and fast should we act.

One side says, let’s stay reasonable, let’s not hurt the economy, don’t panic because of the these crazy Greta maniacs. Source: We managed a lot of crisis in the past, sometimes it’s not that hot, lobby money.

The other side says we have to hit the breaks immediately or a lot of people are going to die. Source: Science.

Lord, what have you done

I second Stone Soup and FTL! Both amazing, but ugly. Also:

  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Slay the Spire
  • Mario 64

Does the good ol notpron-riddle count? I don‘t know, if it‘s solvable on mobile devices.

In Germany some schools offer exactly that in day schoolGanztagsschule.

In theory students get time to do homework in a dedicated hour and the last hours are filled with extracurricular activities.

But often times teachers assign too much homework and there‘s always at least one day when you have maths other sth else in the late afternoon, what‘s hell for everyone involved.

I wouldn‘t send my children there, but there are families who are thankful for this system and children who are capable to live an 8-4 day.

Around 4 times a year I get a whole weekend for myself. Sometimes I don’t even tell any friends that I’m alone at home. Oh boy. As a father of two, these weekends are better than anything else.

FTL is so insanely good!

Dirty Wars is a 2013 American documentary film about American foreign policies and war crimes. It was the first time that I heard about their manipulations, wars and assassinations.

People are already dying because of the heat or starving because of droughts and water scarcity. Based on the IPCC report it will become even worse, especially of we don’t manage to avoid the tipping points of the climate crisis in the next few years.

(Sorry, English is not my first language)

If I understand you correctly you criticize my usage of the word existential, bc it implies that the climate catastrophe will kill all humans? If yes, then I have to correct myself. While this could be a possible outcome, it’s not based on actual research.

Your suggestions are great, thank you! What’s still missing is a game that let’s you hire people with different skills and watch them do their stuff (Theme Hospital, maybe? There have to be better examples nowadays!)

A close example could be Game Dev Tycoon I played for a while. But unfortunately you really had to micromanage every step.

Cool, thank you so much! DF is on my list but the graphics … 😅

Awesome suggestions, thank you.

I see a pattern of games mentioned here! What do you call games like theme hospital? I’d love to skim a few recommendations for these kind of games that let you hire different employees to run parts of your business.

These features and other protections built into macOS (which we will discuss in more detail below) mean it’s not an essential requirement to install antivirus software on your Mac.

However, as good as these protections are, there have been occasions when malware has managed to infiltrate the Mac platform, and times when Apple hasn’t responded to a threat as quickly as Mac users might hope. If you want the very best protection from threats, therefore, consider adding a dedicated Mac security suite.

The IPCC report is what you‘re looking for! And since it‘s it‘s almost impossible to even reach the goal of 1,5 degrees, we should hit the breaks better sooner than later. It‘s not an „oopsie“ problem we would face otherwise. People are already dying.

Sounds great, thanks!
