Right. Keref Hinnom is 600BCE, so a wee bit earlier than the actual reference to ol’ King Shawshank redemption. But there’s oral tradition _probably_ running as early as 1200BCE. - I was talking Abrahamic tradition (as per the dude I was replying to, so not explicitly Christianity… in which case you’re completely correct)

Such a wild flex for an oil painter. “Oh, why is all this glassware just stacked up in front of the window I’m painting, you ask? 😈 No reason.”

It’s time to pray!

He’s done a whole series of these and they’re hilarious. https://www.markseabrook.com.au/

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ por que no los dos?

It was the reason I downloaded Steam, and back in those days I was pissed that I had the CD and the box and the manual AND they wanted me to go online and download more than a gig of data on my crappy dial up.

I got the game in the morning and I only got to play it later that afternoon… and I swore I’d never use Steam for anything else again.

Fast forward 20 years and probably a few thousand bucks later 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bronze Age 😋 #Ackchyually. Root narratives of Judaism and so the Abrahamic tradition from roughly 2000-1200 BCE

Ignore me.

I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House was really, really good at this… although, maybe, not much else.

The Last Will & Testament Of Rosalind Lee did it really well too.

Accusing me of magical thinking and then elaborating on or reiterating your point sort of closes the door on this discussion.

I could copy and paste a bunch of stuff, add a bunch of links. I don’t think it would bring us closer.

The scientific consensus (as I understand it and you’ve yet to convince me otherwise) is that global freshwater supplies are unevenly distributed but far from depleting; crop failures are regional and gradually being mitigated by advances in agriculture; oceans can still continue absorbing heat with severe ecosystem impacts, but there isn’t any reason to use language like “full capacity” limits unless you’re misrepresenting the facts to scare people; population growth is slowing, with consumption patterns, not numbers, driving resource strains.

I want to reiterate: you are not helping the issue by telling people the end is nigh. You’re also not being honest, so long as you’re claiming to have kept abreast of the way experts in these fields are talking.

I hear your concerns, man. But a cursory look at the current science behind how we describe things like BOE and Clathrate Gun don’t leave us with mere years between now and instant hotpot catastrophe.

I don’t think it’s useful (if your goal is to promote the mitigation of these events and a livable world for future generations) to catastrophise at that pitch and make it sound like we’re fucked.

We’re not fucked. Things are going to get a lot harder. A lot harder. Much badness. But we’re not fucked. There’s room to work here. And we need to start doing a LOT of work without making it sound like starting wouldn’t do us any good.

He can have Kimmel. John Oliver needs around the clock security.

Big polluters know their resources are finite. They’re deliberately cooking the planet because after some threshold has been reached, they’re going to pivot their enormous infrastructural and industrial capacities into geoengineering.

We’ll be paying BP and Shell to keep the planet cool eventually.

That’s not what he meant by “guess”, so I’m guessing English isn’t your L1. That’s fine. The thing I am gonna give you stick for is getting so riled up by a comic strip you didn’t get that you’re grumping at strangers about it 🤣👉🏼

I knew someone would think about commenting this. Glad to see someone actually did 🤣

It’s always so funny to me that the amount of saturation in these images is directly proportional to how long they’ve been doing the rounds on social media.

Who can build a nuclear weapon in two weeks? I’ve hunted for a source on this and can’t find one. Can you help a guy out?

Welp. That’s good enough for me! I’m coming over! 😉
