  • I gain nothing from his suffering.

    I would, I want to see him suffer.

    I think Brevik also proved to other murderers that’s it’s okay, you can kill as many people as you want and at the end of the day you’ll be given good food, comfortable shelter, and entertainment. My life is no better than Brevik’s right now. It’s worse. I have concerns to deal with that he has staff to handle. I might as well do like him and improve my life. In fact I think you’ll get a better prison if you commit mass murder than if you “just” violently disable someone. I know the one Brevik is in is far more warm and comfortable than the ones in my local area.

    I can’t name it all, but it felt significantly smoother with my Intuous tablet, and the zoom function was nice and useable, unlike Krita’s.

    I had a cracked CC 2015 or something for a while, failed to back it up before I formatted my PC, didn’t find another. Settled for CS5 for a while and it was a marked downgrade, felt significantly worse to paint in.

    Eventually my harddrive crashed and I lost that one too, but I didn’t really care as I mostly gave up drawing after losing the CC one. I’ve tried Krita enough over the last few years to know I’ll never enjoy digital art again unless I fork out for Adobe, who demand a steep subscription service, rights to everything you make, and if you buy a lifetime license I’ve seen multiple reposts that they have proven they won’t honor it. Frankly, I do not enjoy the 2020s at all. In general I feel like it would be completely fine if we managed to just wipe ourselves out sometime soon.








  • Only one can likely be credited as directly causal to a human extinction, but I’d think several factors can end up contributing to keeping us grounded even if we stick around for several additional millennia. And we could to some extent experience several of them simultaneously. For example if it is necessary to successfully create one or more technically possible (unbeknownst to us) technologies, but they remain unproven for the entirety of our species span of life on Earth. And while this is attempted, we end up with shortages that make soace exploration and colonization politically impossible, as the resources are never allocated for the purpose.

    In this case we’d have both problems, but solving either one of them would still not get us out there.

    In another example, perhaps even the technology is proven eventually, but due to scarcity rhe window of opportunity temporarily closes, and then wars, plagues, and a few other factors set humanity back to the stone age with a small population. Perhaps some predatory animals end up very successful at hunting us to extinction. Or perhaps we’re gradually finished off by several famines.

    One could maybe point one cause out as more consequential than the others, but if the problems end up being such a quagmire I’d say they all played a part in filtering out humanity from interstellar colonization.
