Switch 2 hinted for an early 2024 launch

I hope Nintendo actually makes this a huge step up from the Switch we’ve had since 2017. The OLED switch was nice, but it’s what the switch should’ve been from day one.

Oh and dear lord PLEASE let them fix the joycon issues. I would love to play my switch more in handheld mode but because both of my joycons have drift, it’s impossible to play in anything but docked mode with a pro controller.

[image] Cars are an incredibly inefficient way to move people

It really fucking sucks that the auto industry lobbied the US government so goddamn hard in the 30’s - 70’s and got so much of this country built on car centric infrastructure while also systemically dismantling countless forms of public transit nationwide too. Most major cities and metropolitan areas used to have a pretty comprehensive streetcar system, yet where are they now? That’s right, manufacturers like GM bought majority stakes in those companies and then had their infrastructure dismantled all in the name of “progress.”

‘Project 2025’: plan to dismantle US climate policy for next Republican president

Oh of fucking course they want to dismantle what few fucking climate policies we have in this country. God forbid the EPA says you can’t dump your shit water in natural mountain springs so we don’t contaminate our drinking water. How DARE we want to attempt to lessen the impact of climate change on our planet so that future generations just might not have to live in an unlivable world.

Meltwater from Antarctic Glaciers Is Slowing Deep-Ocean Currents - Eos

Hasn’t this been known about for decades at this point that with less and less polar ice the ocean currents will be less and less effective? But as per usual when it comes to climate change, no one that could make an actual difference gave a shit, so now we’re seeing what scientists have warned about for decades. It fucking sucks having to be here, seeing all of this transpire, knowing that you’re helpless to stop it

It would take millions, if not billions of people to band together and make drastic changes for there to be any measurable difference. The largest offenders are all mega corporations that simply put quarterly profits over ensuring their impact on the planet is minimal. Without those corporations changing their business models permanently, no individuals lifestyle choices will ever matter more than a small fraction of a percentage point.
