If I have follow-up questions, do you mind if I keep in touch?

I’ve looked at temperature/climate/meteorological maps, and done alot of reading of scientific papers, and that’s how I came to my conclusion.

That’s cool AF. Is there any noticable lag? And is it good for streaming/torrenting,as well?

Then let’s make it exciting! Lol.

Yeah, space is fucking majestic, horrifying, awe-inducing, scary, and gorgeous.

This is perfect, thank you!

I was leaning towards SurfShark earlier, but I’m looking at these now.

I’m aware that life is likely going to suck everywhere, and that China isn’t immune to climate change. I appreciate your thoughtful answer.

The crux of my question though, is in your opinion, do you think that Chengdu will be a comparatively “safe” zone, at least for a while, due to the natural geography, shit-ton of nearby agriculture, very fertile soil, more temperate climate?

That seems to be the consensus.

I’m trying to plan something.

I appreciate the help, but I don’t have anything concrete yet. I do have a plan though.

A hypothesis I have is that the world gets warmer, China will be somewhat of a safe haven/last refuge, for somewhat “normal” climate/weather/daily life.

Do you agree with that or have any thoughts?

I’ve read that compared to the rest of the world, China overall, but especially Chengdu/Sichuan, and eastern China somewhat as well, will remain much comparatively cooler and more temperate as the average global temperature rises, and that China’s natural environment and geography will somewhat or moderately temper the potential temperature increase, and delay the number and severity of extreme weather events in China.

I think this makes a great meme, but I gotta say that I kinda prefer Bioware, lol.

I appreciate Lem, though

I agree that carbon/water based lifeforms are the most plausible/numerous to exist, yet I would also love and be fascinated by aliens that are like cybertronians/transformers, “natural” robots that still have recognizable biological functions, and meet the criteria of being alive and sentient. Like a silicon-based lifeform that drinks, I don’t know, argon or ammonia.

I once read a pretty excellent scientific paper, a thought experiment, about an alien lifeform that could possibly live inside stars, and withstand the extreme pressures and heat, and would gain nutrients from different areas of the star, based on the thermal gradients/chemicals, almost like space-dragons.

If you ask me, I really fucking hope that there are aliens out there like the Quarians and Asari (Turians are my favorite) but also extremely weird lifeforms and worlds that defy imagination and understanding.

Like (even though it’s incredibly unlikely) a planet-sized singular organism that thrives off of limited mobility.

Or even worlds where, through some exotic combination of elements and materials, combined with the weather/atmosphere and extremely strange chemical and physical reactions, basically defies the laws of physics of what should be possible.

But you also don’t want to make aliens too “alien” to where people won’t have any recognition or care of their struggles, personalities, life attributes.

I like “human” aliens, especially if they are portrayed as being very psychologically/culturally different from most humans as a whole, but I also appreciate the truly weird and strange barely recognizable ones.

I’m very sympathetic to your ideas, and I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of life on other worlds being so “alien” that humans might not recognize it as life.

But I do think that for the most part, it would be relatively easy to figure if something is alive, sentient, and self-aware, just in an “alien” form.

Why not both?

Like, I really do hope/think that there are at least some, and probably many, aliens that are similar enough to humans to interact, form relationships with, and fuck.

But that doesn’t mean there can’t be exotic alien lifeforms that capture our imagination.

I like a healthy mix.

I’m trying to order nukes off of Ebay but I’m having trouble.

Then again, no one’s accused me of having nukes, but I like to be prepared.

I’ve read that he was somewhat of a dick towards sub-saharan southern African countries, but that could have just been a misunderstanding/slander.

I’ve also read that he supposedly financed one or more armies of fundamentalists that would often rape civilians, or that he allegedly had a dungeon where he would sexually assault women, but I’m 99 percent sure that both of those claims are neoliberal horseshit.

What I DO know, is that he was a brilliant man and a motherfucking titan of a person. A true badass.

He greatly took after Mao, and was “friendly”-ish with the USSR and I think China.

He helped fight the Eurocrakkker colonizers in Africa.

While I mostly agree that “great man theory” is horseshit, I don’t think anyone can deny that he was a true titan of a person.

Liberated Libya from a U.S. backed dictator, instituted a form of socialism (even though Libya was more secular than neighboring countries, I don’t like that Libya supposedly had an Islamist bent to it. I don’t mean in culture/society, I mean like the law) but besides that, Libya under his ba’athist leadership seemed like it had a lot in common with the Soviet Union.

Local democracy and democratic control of the means of production, with the guiding hand of the state preventing capitalist overreach, and very high living standards for a continent ravaged by imperialism for centuries, and he helped fund numerous national liberation and socialist groups and revolutionaries.

This motherfucker built a whole ass aquifer that crakkkers said was impossible to build, until it was destroyed by NATO, unfortunately.

I like to think of Gaddafi as being like Libya’s/Africa’s Fidel Castro. A larger than life gentle giant.

My one major complaint, is that I think that he gave up Libya’s nuclear weapons way too easily.

I understand that the west had their boot on Libya’s throat, and having millions and millions of people and many countries and movements depending on him would likely cause any person to have serious psychological/mental stress on them, coupled with lessening of sanctions, I understand why he did it.

I know I’m rambling, but I feel a slight attachment to Gaddafi because he reminds me so much of my grandfather.

And it’s fucking horrible and anger-inducing that he was overthrown, tortured and murdered by Libyan gusano terrorist NATO-financed nutjobs.

May he rest in power. Africa and the world isn’t the same, without him.

99 percent of the time, the only problem that liberals have with the Vietnam war was that the U.S. lost, not about the suffering and death of millions of innocent people, or the fact that the U.S. tried to overthrow Vietnamese democracy and socialism.

Probably relatively cheaply, lol.

But I understand that reference

Beautifully put comrade
