Humanity's true biggest flaw is that we haven't figured out a way to make all of our houses out of chocolate

The only thing that you need to be “woke” about is to stop supporting a traitor tyrant.

The real problem about liking BBC Ghosts and CBS Ghosts:

BBC and CBS only have one letter difference. Which often means I have to reread my tags so I don’t end up with CBB, BCS or BBS. These are all combinations I have caught before.

To the Anons

To the anons who have been filling my inbox all morning with hate: I hope you had fun. You may not agree with my opinions on policing content that has needed warnings and tags but I don’t agree with abusive hate. Don’t worry- you didn’t hurt my feelings.

You can kindly jump off your high horse- defending what you view as abuse with abuse is... well.. illogical is the best word for it.

On this website there is far bigger problems than the content you wish to police and you’ve done a mighty fine job of demonstrating what that issue really is. Hate. The spread of anon hate and abuse at the hands of people hiding behind the anon feature. Your cries of defending those you feel dark, difficult and problematic topics victimizes when they are warned and make the choice to engage in such content are no excuse to victimize another who did not consent in any way.

Hate is a problem on this site.

The global mass extinction

I just came over an article about fertility problems in humans due to anthropogenic chemicals polluting the environment. A big problem indeed.

See here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/reproductive-problems-in-both-men-and-women-are-rising-at-an-alarming-rate/

The last lines of the article say: “In other words, we need to stop using each other and our unborn children as lab rats for EDC exposures. The health and the future of the human race really do depend on it.”

Stop the pollution, yes. But is the human species with 7.9 billion individuals threatened? No, not really. In this article, there was not a single word about the enormous ecological effects of this human-caused pollution. Not a word about how this affects other species, which are already struggling for survival of their very kind. Only a brief mention about climate change.

So I thought to put the human population status in perspective with some other (rather iconic) large mammals (source: IUCN red list): Lion: 23.000- 39.000 decreasing Cheetah: 6647 - decreasing Chimpanzee: 172,700–299,700 – decreasing Eastern gorilla: 2600 - decreasing African wild dog: 1409 – decreasing European bison: 2.518 - increasing Human: 7.853.630.000 - increasing By comparison – the world wide wild lion population barely fills one football stadium. So no, it is not the fertility of the human species that I’m worried about, neither am I concerned about SARS-CoV-2, except that it comes from the horrible, bloody wildlife trade.

Life on Earth would breathe in relief if the human population gets down to a healthier size and stops confiscating everything on its path with its uncontrolled population growth and economic growth obsession. I also believe that a smaller human population size would benefit humans themselves and would increase wellbeing a lot more than the non-stop increase in pressure on limited resources and murderous competition over them. The figure below illustrates well how skewed the global mammalian biomass is with humans: 36%, livestock: 60% and wild mammals: 4%.

So, no I'm not concerned about humans reproducing a little less fast. I’m much more worried that humanity keeps pushing other animals to the limits of their ever dwindling living space, that threatened species are still shot as trophies, that non-human animals are still seen as tradable objects, that entire populations are still slaughtered because “there are too many” (how hypocrite is that, see the numbers) and that many people still deny other animals sentience and emotion, opening the door to objectification and terrible abuse (see the bioindustry).

I’m a also lot more concerned about the ecological effects of chemical waste, dramatic climate change, all this suffocating plastic waste and the wildfires scorching billions of animals, plants and fungi to death.

Right, the last video in my series about Star Stable, I’ve gone over the background and history of the game with the current controversy, now, it’s time to go over what I feel is the real problem of the game, in my opinion. So, this problem technically isn’t the game dev’s fault, they’re not really in control of it, so please don’t harass the game devs. This problem isn’t AT ALL the Ambassador’s fault, please don’t harass the ambassadors. Please be nice to each other/me in the comments.

And No. I do not SAY HOW TO FIX IT. Because, they aren’t PAYING me to do so. It’s bad enough I’m pointing it out. So, I refuse to give them free labor. If they want to know how to fix it, well, my email is pretty public.
