Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change

These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening … millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won’t like that.

And we’ll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.

The fact that this person is still in US politics doesn’t say much about him … it says a lot about the American psyche … how disconnected does a country have to be to think that this individual is fit to represent them?

Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don’t follow any ethics when it comes to that.

If you push them in one way or another … they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they’ve changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.

They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another … they can do one thing in one country that can’t be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.

It’s getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more … it’s the corporations that have all the power and control.

Now we must do all this in a noisy place where it is dark and many people are also ingesting liquids that are affecting their logic. It is quite dangerous … someone may lose an eye.

Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.

When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.

As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost

Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone

Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity

What? … what’s that? … wait … let me buy the ‘listening app’ for $3.99 monthly subscription first … oh yeah, now I hear you … yeah, feels shitty being a product … oh wait … now I have to buy the $5.99 one time payment app ‘thoughts and feelings’ … there, now I feel I can feel it … yeah … feels shitty

Didn’t the world fight a world war to stop this kind of government from taking full control over a people?

In order to fail, you first have to achieve something … and in terms of the wider universe and our planet … humanity has only just started

Freddie: … can I make a call from the afterlife?

This is exactly how I think humanity will play out the climate crisis … ‘let’s maintain the economy and wealth of a handful of people, let the majority die, let the population go down and everything will eventually equalize and normalize after millions die off’

So, if you aren’t wealthy now … you’ll be dead soon

“Governments don’t want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”

Don’t exist until they’re gone … I’m a middle child in a family of eight … mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest … as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.

Also … the most valuable content I find or want online for my own uses is all text based … reading blogs, forums, news sites, articles, creative writing, wikipedia

I really don’t care about design or flashy lights and pictures … I just want to read the news

I often just toggle the read only view as soon as I find something I want to read and seldom care about what a site looks like … on the other side of that … if the site is so messed up or controlling that it refuses reader view … I skip it and move on

Wow, Riker must have done the splits in order to do his chair maneuver on the seat he’s on

I was a mod of a small niche reddit sub for about six years. When I started working on it, there were only about 200 subscribers and it was a pretty quiet place. Over the time I managed it, I had to work the group to get them interested. I’d regularly post, comment and like whatever was happening. But at the same time, I’d do searches throughout reddit to look for like minded people and just let them know my sub existed. No big marketing push but just a little reminder that my sub existed. I’d set out private messages to people and connect with them … about half wouldn’t respond … a quarter would say they weren’t interested but about a quarter would say thanks and that they weren’t aware of the sub and would have a look.

After doing that for four or five years, I grew the sub from 200 members to 2,000.

I also learned that on any social media about 90 percent of users are just lurkers who like reading stuff, liking stuff and maybe once in a while commenting. It’s only about ten percent of the group that are active, comment, post new content or even create new content. The larger your group, the larger that ten percent becomes and the more content your group generates and the more activity happens.

Keep working it … it’s all up to you in the early stages, you have to put in the work to contact people, encourage them to join and talk and chat with your base to keep them engaged. You create the content or highlight new stuff or keep posting content you find and share to your group … all your users are there … they are the 90 percent, you are the ten percent right now.

As your group grows, eventually there will be one or two people that will be enthusiastic and they will help with content … then as the activity grows, there will be a few more active users who will post and comment regularly.

Your group will never suddenly one day jump to 10,000 users and your community becomes a hive of activity … it grows organically like a plant in your garden. Right now it is small and fragile and anything can bring it down … you not tending to it will mean it dies. But if you water it, tend to it, look after it eventually it will grow into something big and there will be many people that will come around to help you with this enormous garden or field of crops that have sprouted from your activity.

Don’t change the logo … just keep it as is … I identify the app more for the app than for the site it was associated with … I associate Sync with Sync … I don’t associate it with reddit, lemmy, kbin or anything … I just associate it with Sync which makes the most sense to me

That logo only means Sync to me … and as an app I think it should remain that way

Award a bunch of posts and memes making fun of r/spez

I think part of it is about retention … retaining all those users, especially those with high karma levels (or at least users who believe they have high karma) from abandoning the site and ending their accounts.

I’m currently in the process of ending my four accounts I have on reddit. Two of them are over 100,000 in karma and when I read this post, the very first thing that popped into my mind was … HOW MUCH WILL MY ACCOUNTS BE WORTH?

So it’s now making me think … if I can just keep up my account for another while, maybe I can cash in on all that karma I accumulated.

I am sure that many other redditors are thinking the same. The way this reddit admin posted the info is really weird too … it sounded like some salesman just enticing people into an idea but not fully being able to say much about it and instead making vague suggestions that something big is coming in the future.

I know a sales job when I see one … and this is a sales job. Many people will fall for it … if not just to hang on to see if they can at least cash in our something … anything when the announcement happens.

Say or think what you want about me … but I’m ending this relationship and deleting my accounts … I don’t trust big corporations to say or do anything that might give me a chance at anything. Any action they elicit from me or any user will be gamed to only benefit them. If not enough people figure that out … reddit will make bank in the short term and that is all they are counting on.
