I go by “test” on live.hexbear.net, or “tset” or “tst” or some other variant when I’m not logged in.

We watch movies on the weekends and sometimes also hang out during the week, you should drop by.

The thing about the life expectancy in Gaza might not be correct. Everything I can find online gives a life expectancy in the 70s.

Nearly a decade shorter than the life expectancy in Israel though https://healthpolicy-watch.news/wha-76-occupied-palestinian-territories/

Thank you for this fascinating writeup!

Because it’s so cheap and easy to start, it would be really simple for a billionaire (or single nation) to just start doing this in secret without the world noticing until the temperature reduction signal became detectable by the scientific community at large. At that point, we’re locked in and the single-actor geoengineer has effectively taken the world hostage. This fucking sucks for obvious reasons.

This part kind of confused me though. Wouldn’t we only be locked in after decades of aerosol dispersal had accumulated a substantial warming debt?

Some Hexbears are currently matching donations in this thread, so now is an especially good time to donate

*I actually don’t know if the matching is still happening

it definitely doesn’t have to be like that. Adult life does not need to be a hamster wheel of drudgery for society to function.

Maybe the goal of the offensive was to generate positive headlines that might prolong western funding for a little while longer?

also, I think youth is more emotionally vivid, and emotional experiences form stronger friendships
