I don't think it's doom yet, just when we can't turn back from the path to future environmental doom.

Depends where you live. The global south is going to have a pretty rough time of it while parts of the north are going to get relatively cooler. And I don't know who Paul Simon is, if you're referring to my sig. My quote's from a Peruvian priest.

Yep, especially since the global south is poorer and less powerful. And oops, I meant to say that to Valrifell. I'm stupid. Let's try it again.

And the changing climate in the poorer global south will undoubtedly fuel more strife and human migration leading to more refugees and bad things happening.

Also, isn't everyone?

Not if you're vegetarian...
Though I was exaggerating. There are plenty of tasty and healthy things.

Vegans are more often than not rather pushy with their lifestyle (and that is annoying), but vegetarians on the other hand...not a single word from 'em.

I like my veggies, but I also like my meat too!

Best is a mix of it all, vegetables, meat and carbs. I do a lot of cooking at home and I’m very into my food.

DID YOU KNOW India has more vegetarians than the rest of the world combined? And their vegetarianism is either the kind that doesn't allow eggs or the kind that doesn't allow dairy.

I typically find that meat eaters are more pushy than vegans. I've been harassed for not eating meat but never for eating dairy.

So I'm going to give a transcript of the conversation I just had on the phone. Only changes being her name not being included.

"Hey Jenny, I can't play Starbound tonight I got work in the morning."
No this isn't about that. I'm calling to say I'm sorry.
"For what? What did you do?"
I lied!
"...About what?"
I'm not the 2nd Sexiest women on NationStates!
"..."
I only came in third!
"...This is why you called?"
I have broken your trust in me!
