Sidechat

So i just rewatched Harry Potter and the chamber of secret and noticed that the supposed giant snake, the basilisk, isnt a snake at all. It not only lacks 1, but both of the visual indicators that differentiates snakes from lizards, external ears and eyelids. Shame on you Rowling.

Not to mention it shares a name with a literal real-life lizard. Maybe it‘s just an oversized basilisk lizard that lost its legs.

Rowling shouldn’t get 100% of the blame. The animators, VFX designers, and whoever else had to present this design to her, and she approved it.
 
Morning peeps!
It's snowing here today! But it's only supposed to be less than an inch. (about 2 centimeters) Something that has become all too common lately. When I was a kid, we'd get like a foot of snow every other week. It's only snowed three times this year and we've only gotten a total of like 2 inches. It really sucks, global warming.

farming sim 22?
 
Farming simulator summed up:

Growing Crops
  • Press W to drive tractor forwards
  • wait 5 minutes in real time
  • Press D to turn tractor right, Prees S to back up to align with field
  • Press W to drive tractor forwards
  • Press A to turn left, press S to back up to align with field
  • repeat
  • Some time later, have money to buy animals
Growing Hay (realising you actually need to feed animals)
  • Press W to drive tractor forwards
  • wait 5 minutes in real time
  • Press D to turn tractor right, Prees S to back up to align with field
  • Press W to drive tractor forwards
  • Press A to turn left, press S to back up to align with field
  • Press W to drive tractor forwards
  • deliver hay to animals
  • repeat

Truly. It's very sad and very scary. When I was a kid it always snowed in England around christmas time. Now it almost never does. We usually get a sprinkling of slush at some point in the spring and generally lots of flooding. 40*C summers now, every year hotter than the last. We are now growing olives and making wine in the south of the country - that wouldn't have been possible just a short time ago.

I saw wildlifes in Greece this summer and there were several in South Africa when I was there. Really strange to see them in real life.

My grandparents live in North California where they get terrible fires and the aquafers are drying up. It's becoming a desert, fast.

And that's just the economic West. The rest of the world has it worse and fewer resources to cope with and respond to it.

I'm all in favour of climate activism. I did some myself when I was younger, I should get involved again. Our governments are well aware but just don't have enough support to make the kinds of changes that are needed and still stay in power. It all makes me scared to have kids, tbh.

I’ve been considering getting The Hunter: Call of the Wild. Maybe you should look into it.

I don’t want to get controversial, but hear me out. For me personally, while I’m all in favor of solving climate-related issues, I’m skeptical when it comes to backing certain solutions. For example, wind and solar farms require a LOT of land to be cleared of vegetation (which is a natural CO2 absorber), and they’re made of a lot of non-recyclable materials. Plus, those windmills are powerful enough to kill eagles.

This is why I’m a strong supporter for the indoor farming industry. There’s this company called Freight Farms, and they build indoor farms inside shipping containers and then ship them across the world to impoverished communities. If that can be done on a big enough scale, the land usage for farms could decrease rapidly, allowing more land for forests. Maybe we can even use it to grow the palm trees used for palm oil domestically so that we wouldn’t have to rely on deforesters overseas. We could also grow our own coffee beans in a climate-controlled environment. Also, we could grow our own cacao beans to become less reliant on the HIGHLY exploitative cocoa-growing industry in Africa so that I can eat my chocolate with a clearer conscience.
