yep it’s a great topic, someone in my family actually got their degree in that exact topic
Oh yeah, people that call themselves empaths tend to mostly just be narcissists in my experience. Other people having agency and feelings and their own internal life makes them so uncomfortable and they decide to call that “empathy” rather than what it is.
true enough, I was just going off the text of the meme rather than the popular notions around “empaths”
well the buffet at the orgy is always on point so just skip the restaurant next time is my advice.
Yes, people can sometimes tell how you are feeling by observing you. I get that it’s an uncomfortable idea, but it isn’t always just “a guess that makes them feel good”. It is possible to have an actual skill or talent for reading other people’s current mental state or emotions, just not if you’re a Lemmy user.
Thankfully that is going to happen anyway through simple economics. Fossil fuel extraction is functionally already a peak technology, out of which every bit of efficiency has been squeezed by over 100 years of frantic and lavishly funded scientific development, whereas solar, battery, and wind technologies have been absolutely plunging in $-per-Kw to deploy and have much much further to go. So governments can try to slow this down as much as they wish, but it’s as much a fool’s errand as trying to rescue the horse industry in about 1920.
Now as for the question of “why isn’t this more efficient technology resulting in savings for, me, the consumer?” I can only encourage you to look at the entire history of extractive, investor-driven capitalism for the answer.
1-800 OYSTER is one digit short of a working number, dashing my dreams. 1-800 OYSTERS offered me a free medical alert device, but it is unknown at this time how many liters of water per day it can filter.
haha yep that message was a more a secret one for my fellow browncoats ;) That opening battle scene blew my mind so much when I first saw it, like the Buffy guy made this? For TV? On a TV budget?!
