Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C)
They actually said this would happen.
And yet, we go directly to our graves.
It seems we want to be dead.

I didn’t go into a building that was not my home for the first two years.
I haven’t stopped masking since the beginning in March 2020. And I am on my fifth booster.
And I have managed to avoid getting covid.

Goals.
I want the peace of never having existed in the first place. So, being entirely forgotten is a second best kind of peace. Best one can get now.

Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.
Stop using youtube. It is made of poop.

What vegetable is cool, but not that cool?
Goddamn it!
No. Radishes are cool as a cucumber. Or maybe not, since radishes are kinda spicy. But still. Radishes are might the best maybe be.
Edit: I was being silly. Which I never do. So maybe it didn’t come across like that.

Reproduction has always been horror. Life IS body horror: sex, childbearing, puberty, eating, aging, the micro-biome, the human virome. All very pretty disgusting when we pay attention.
Human DNA is 8-10% virus DNA. And there are 39 trillion bacterias, of about 10,000 species, virions outnumber them 10 to 1 in the human body. Viruses infect bacteria inside us. Then there is the Mycobiome. And while the amount of fungus in the human body is comparably low, certain sites are rather high. Like the ear for example. Do not read the “Human” section on the Mycobiome on Wikipedia.

Nebraska governor again rejects giving kids from low-income families $40 per month for food: 'I don't believe in welfare'
If he doesn’t believe in giving low income families a meager 40$ a month “welfare” then he should reject the saving Grace that is given from Jesus.
The point of the Gospels of Jesus is that the we are saved ONLY because of the Grace of God, and NOT because of our good works. PERIOD.
Nothing we do gets us the Grace of God. We can’t DO anything to deserve it. It is just given.
Edit: add “Like welfare!” To the end. I forgot.

What is the point of small instances?
People say that a few large instances would be easy pickings for the profit motive, and monetizing.
There is a lot of handwringing over on mastodon about how people should not be directed to the large instances by default. And that people need to join the small instances to make sure mastodon (or fedi-verse) is not taken over by a few who want to profit off it. They mock those on large instances. They tell people they should join small instances.
But I have seen many small instances close and leave people in the lurch. I have seen a few people have to move several times.
I have seen users be abandoned and left with a broken instance that doesn’t work, and the admin nowhere to be seen.
I agree. But maybe the medium ones aren’t too bad.

How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better?
I take comfort in getting older and getting closer to being dead.
I can barely wait. The comfort of nothingness is a great help.

World facing ‘hellish’ 3C of climate heating, UN warns before Cop28
“To get on track for the internationally agreed target of 1.5C, 22bn tonnes of CO2 must be cut from the currently projected total in 2030, the report said. That is 42% of global emissions and equivalent to the output of the world’s five worst polluters: China, US, India, Russia and Japan.”
That last part will not happen.
Zero hope left.
The good news is that non-existence is paradise.
