    It's only uncomfortable if you make it uncomfortable, but if you're all adults it doesn't have to be. Maybe it helps to grow up in a less puritanical country than the US though.

    Also humans: we will breed you until your fruit no longer bears seed, because we decide when and how you reproduce

    gently, without mass starvation

    Even more gently if you want to make sure there's enough younger people to care for the elderly

    I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy

    Huh? The comic is complaining nerds are wasting adulthood on speedrunning and drawing comics instead of doing research that improves the world (like renewable energy).

    Someone has then created this portrait of him

    For completeness Olivia Vert made it for the Journal of Immaterial Science (also the Barbenheimer one, and some others but I think they only shared those on Reddit)

    This thread is like a Reddit/Lemmy Smart Guy combo. People who just assume paid researchers didn't consider this extremely basic thing they learned about in high school, and also hinting at IQ-based eugenics

    New web serial announced: Claw
    https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/1b58yl0/announcing_claw/

    **Synopsis:** *Joshua Munce, Sheila Hardy, Dan Whitely, Max Highland, Tonya Keifer, Marvin Su… this pair has many names, but those names aren’t their own; they’re names to sell. In a rigged and crumbling system, the only way to get ahead is to circumvent the rules, but that comes with its own risks. Police, investigations, prison. Too risky.* *There are other ways, more insulated, which are to play assist and help those people. Helping them to disappear, cleaning up messes, escrow services for the handling of good, payment, or guests. Always keeping it professional, keeping things insulated, with layers of distance. When others panic, with too many variables to consider in the heat of the moment, they can do the thinking. The fact they're a mom and dad with two kids isn't the cover, it's the reason.* ---------- **Author comments:** Claw will run for a short time to bridge things in the interim, and is a bit of a pattern break for myself, in more than one way. I'd describe the intended story as a crime procedural, running for a handful of arcs. A bit of a break from superpowers and magic, but with some other things going on to keep it interesting. Starts March 9th. **General life update:** Moved out, waiting for my stuff to arrive before I can move in. All is (reasonably) well. Did get stuck in the airport for pretty much a full day in total and arrived to find the water isn't hooked up in my new apartment, plus had time with family, so that's why things are launching next week and not tonight. I know the sci-fi story was much-hyped, but given circumstances (including the artist I hired for the site art ghosting me), I'm giving the proposed sci-fi work a bit more time in the oven. It should follow Claw.
