The worst part about getting comic book movies are the fans. I'm not hurr durr new fans, but I rarely see them asking comic vets questions, instead I just see them pushing their ignorant tale as the way things are.

Apple's Tim Cook, Tesla's Elon Musk, and other influential US tech leaders have condemned the White House's decision and will continue treating this climate crisis as a threat to humanity that must be acknowledged and addressed, not a petty game.

Throw me in with that lot, too.

To be fair since he's been working on ads issues for 160h+ a week for the past couple of years his carbon footprint is probably super low now.

I'll have you know the ad service is running on the repurposed Roadrunner cluster which comes in a dainty 2.345 MW for its size.

On behalf of my community here at NeoGAF -- a beautifully diverse, global membership & audience of every country, ethnicity, religion, orientation, socioeconomic status, and video game platform loyalty -- I denounce ... and I pledge to act in spirit with the mission statement of the Agreement, both personally and professionally as founder and CEO of NeoGAF.

It's uplifting to read something like this when everywhere else you look feels like some sort of terrible waking nightmare.

I finally encountered an unsolicited conspiracy person

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I recently picked up Battlegrounds, which is a battle royale style survival game. I initially played solo and have started doing duo/group games. Maybe I'm lucky, but no one has been weird or mean thus far. Then today happened. I started the game, I'm airdropping in, I'm almost on the ground, and we're discussing our first target.

"You know the Sandy Hook shooting was a conspiracy, right?"

I was kind of at a loss for words. There was zero introduction. I know these people must exist, but I've somehow avoided running into them. He's like, "I know you just wanna play the game, but let me just say this one thing. Back in [year], Obama signed the [whatever] act which allowed the use of propaganda on the American people. You can go to [some website] and look it up."

He then went on to tell me how he was an Iraq combat veteran who nearly died, and how he was in law enforcement for 12 years, and how he's an expert driver ingame (at least, before he hit me with a bike and ran into a mountain).

I kept waiting for it to be some sort of youtuber trolling thing but it never happened.

If there is a Hell, Trump will surely spitroast in it.

But there isn't, so the best we can do is make him suffer in his last decade of life.

Poison his eyes. Give him no moment of respite. The second he crosses the border up north, I'll be tomatoing the orange fuck. Maybe he'll get some fucking vitamin E, despite his hate for humanity.

If he doesn't get assassinated (which would be a shame) I hope he shits himself to death.

I've had a few problems here and there but the staff is really good about addressing the issues as they pop-up in the stickied thread. Though, in all honesty, I would strongly prefer to pay for a premium membership that is ad-free, Gaf still is leagues better in their handling of ads than other websites.

[benjipwns]

Yes, I'm in! And its very heartening to hear from the owner of GAF take this position. I always knew you were a good person Tyler! As a member of 10 years on this forum I can say its the nicest online community I've ever been involved with. I'm glad you are putting up a fight when its needed most, so thank you.

Thanks for the lengthy write up too!

And Tyler really needed that thread, nowadays he barely gets quoted. I bet half of GAF just thinks he's a mod with the creepiest avatar.

You can't just say "in" when it comes to reducing your carbon footprint!!!! YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING!!!

A great way to reduce your carbon footprint would be to turn off your TV, your videogames, your computer, and go for a fucking walk.

Can I bring my Switch?

No!

Appreciate you taking a public stand. Many big sites with diverse users would avoid taking sides during such a politically charged time. Knowing this risk you did this anyway, so much respect.

All of us will have to be bolder about our political choices going forward.

I can't say that I do a ton personally on the climate front.  I mean, I do drive a "gas guzzling" sports car.

Then again, I did buy a small townhouse to have a short commute.  It's only a 7km, 12-minute drive in to the office for me.

I imagine doing that and foregoing the larger house with a 35 minute/40 km commute every day along the highway is the most significant thing I could do in regards to my carbon footprint in any case.

It's all good, man. You're not jerking yourself off about how you're "in", while not really being "in". None of us are "in". We're all part of the problem, and posting on a web forum does absolutely, positively nothing to solve the problem.

We need the likes of Tim Cook, Elon Musk and Tyler Malka to step up and start moving the planet in a positive direction.

[etiolate]

The performative aspect of goodness has always disturbed me. Good deeds are tasks you do by default. You don't brag about your carbon footprints or shit like that. It's also odd to me which choice acts of goodness garner more performance. Out treatment of the homeless is terrible on all political fronts. You don't see a lot of bragging about that, but something highly ephemeral like a single person's impact on the climate over the eternity of time? That sort of thing is branded and sold by now.

It's likely mostly to do with laziness. There's many low impact ways to say you help the environment, including yarping about it online.

[benjipwns]

Sentiments like this are why I joined Neogaf. Good on you all. Personally, I'm going to learn how to ride a bike so I can cut down on my emissions and I've started saving for solar panels. I encourage everyone here to look into the environmental benefits of cutting down on meat consumption. This is something everyone can do. Cowspiracy on Netflix is a good primer for the issue.

[benjipwns]

I still can't believe that the turd and his goons aren't prosecuted with at least a life time jail sentences.

Do Gaffers not understand the Paris Accords doesn't apply to individuals, but businesses and nations as a whole? It literally has zero impact on how you live your life. Zero will change about the day to day life of Americans except maybe some of those that work at or near coal plants. You learning how to ride a bicycle (presumably in your mid 20s or later) or installing solar panels has absolutely nothing to do with the Paris Accords. At all.

Woah, slow down there buddy, they just found out about party primaries and the Electoral College last semester. Now we're covering the executive branch and its functions and powers.

They won't get into international treaties/accords/promises unless they go the IR route.

[benjipwns]

I disagree, and I don't think that treating masculinity as though it is inherently bad is doing liberals any favors. Honestly the number of times I see the word "masculinity" in liberal circles it's almost always preceded by the word "toxic."

Masculinity isn't inherently bad!

The issue is that the people attracted to this have a very fucking narrow view of masculinity that causes a lot of damage in its wake.

See the complaint about "YAASSS QUEEN" - it's fucking homophobia, plain and simple.

well, when you put it that way i still don't understand how it's homophobic

Saw a guy play Switch the other day in the same train, sat right next to him, saw he was playing Mario Kart, I pulled out my Switch and asked if he wants to play a round or two.

He packed his Switch in his bag, stood up and went away. Saw him sitting on the stairs when I left the train, still playing Mario Kart.

I mean The Bore can all collectively leave society and go live in the woods and forage for roots and berries together the rest of our lives and it won't meaningfully change the world's carbon trajectory.

Don't beat yourself too much. Not saying personal responsibility doesn't matter, it does, but stuff like Climate Change is what governments are needed for: large collective bodies that can independently or co-operatively tackle the negative externalities of human expansion and growth that harm the collective of the planet.

[Nola]

Climate change is real, and it's an issue that should be tackled, but I'd be lying if I said I personally give a shit.

If most people are honest, I think thats how most people go through life. Maybe making small changes where they can when its convenient, but thats about it.

Just implement a carbon tax and use some of the money for green investments and be done with it IMO. Things will largely work themselves out from there and people can keep being the selfish pieces of shit we are.

[etiolate]

I don't know the science of climate change well enough to want to proclaim it anything, but I've always approached the question in the view that if there are ways to improve life through a change in processes and approach then why the fuck not?

I think the one trade-off is the impact shutting down certain types of energy plants and processes can have on a town. It's not just the loss of jobs at say a coal mining plant, but the loss of connected businesses, and the impact on local private businesses that depend on an employed neighborhood. You don't get just one ghost town, but ghost towns in the connected town businesses, such as railyards and rail factories that entirely depend on shipping goods like coal.

You can't just give all those people the finger, so if you're putting in changes then you also have to put in new opportunities for those people. And don't say stupid shit like call centers, that can be easily exported or made pointless by software.

Also, watched the Weinsten interview on Joe Rogan and that story is more disturbing than it initially seems. Apparently students were roaming the parking lot, hunting for the Professor. He was warned this by the police who couldn't help him because the President of the College had told them to stand down.

And while he was doing the interview, various faculty signed a letter standing in solidarity with the protesting students. However, the letter hasn't been posted anywhere yet except on a public google doc, so I'd wait til it hits the college paper's website before believing it.

I really feel they dropped college standards and people are going to college who aren't qualified to be there, and they're giving them bullshit degrees and classes to keep them at the school and eat up their student loan money.

Not true. It's possible for humans to have a negative carbon footprint through efforts to remove more carbon than the individual produces.

Now, that's very hard, but it is possible.

Bill Maher uses the N-word.  Calls a person a "nicca!"   Hates blacks.  Has always been racist.  Just showing True colors.  Obv. thinks all blacks are nicca's.  Bad man said word.  I never watched him because I always knew.

All that up until Trump got elected and the mods said it was crass.

[clothedmacuser]

Come on, there was no real reason for him to say nicca there. Blowback is understandable.

My issue is with the same people that sling around "house nicca" as a branding iron and then get offended when comedian Charlie Bobo calls himself that.

[clothedmacuser]

The people who do so tend to be black, Bill Maher isn't black.

Is it really that hard to understand?

No. 

But those same people act like it's the worst affront to exist until they are shamed and they act contrite.  Call other black people the worst thing you can say till Evilore tells you to knock it off.

If it weren't for the very people that act the most indignant over "house nicca" while also using it "casually" than I couldn't say boo about it.

Edit:  The people on GAF I mean.  Those timid hypocrites.
