Doubtful.

We could get started, probably make some habitable enclosures, but before we can alter the global atmosphere--a fundamental prerequisite of any other global-scale terraforming we might attempt--there are significant impediments to overcome that are as-yet beyond our capacity.

Namely, the lack of an Ozone layer and a global magnetic field. Both of these serve on our world to protect the atmosphere and the surface from radiation and solar wind. Without them, any gas we pump into the air around Mars is just going to bleed off into space like its first atmosphere did.

According to every British comedian it remains that way today.

We still do a lot of flood / tsunami drills, but the nuclear distaster has been forgotten.

Japan just recently reauthorized all the old nuclear plants to reopen, extended their licences thirty years beyond their end-of-life, and continues to dump radioactive waste from this disaster into the ocean unabbated.

There's a lot of footage from that day that will probably never air again.

Even in this, you may notice a scene or two where a camera pans around and you wonder, "Where did everyone go just now?"

Into the water. They're gone.

On the day it was much worse. Many times a helicopter was filming people running, or trying to drive away, only to rotate just enough to show the road they were on wouldn't take them out of the path of the tsunami. Then it would pan all the way around, showing some other part of the destruction, and when it came back the whole road was gone under the water.

I remember one heartbreaking scene where a guy hopped on his scooter and made a bee-line away from the wave, stopping to try to warn people crossing the road he was on that they were doomed. A few seconds later there was nothing but black water and wreckage where all of them had been.

Technically the twelfth year anniversary, but anyway..

Around 12:30 there's a moment that provides a very good reference for how the tsunami came: it wasn't a huge standing wave that crashed over the shoreline; it was a humongous, black amoeba that gradually overwhelmed the coast, the cities, and the people who stayed on the ground wondering what all the fuss was about.

It used to be a secret, and apparently various military R&D happened there--particularly of aircraft, which were also secret.

The surrounding area became a hotbed of UFO sightings, some of which were sightings of actual aircraft.

This fueled conspiracy theories, such as that the wreckage and survivors or bodies from the Roswell incident had been taken there for study or storage.

These conspiracy theories experienced a resurgence in the 90s due to the X-Files, but I am not sure what revived the momentum that led to the pathetic 2010s "raid".

>me (25 M) and my girlfriend (22 F)

I think you mean (15 M) and (12 F).

I think you're a few drinks from realizing the r/timecube.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

I AM MIDAS. ALL THAT I TOUCH IS GOLDEN.

I fully expect that of this situation as well. Makes me wonder if we couldn't do a study to find the approximate dollars per unit of time income that stimulates one's god complex. Like, at precisely what amount of cash grab does the human brain give up conceiving that it could ever end?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Welcome to post-truth civilization. Reality is now whatever makes the biggest impact.

I hope whatever future civilization replaces us is unable to rectify ours

I understood that reference.

Oh, we need it all. If it takes two seasons, so be it.

We're going to have to add a whole new category of Daves.

There must have been some point where SBF and his management team transitioned from running a mere ponzi scheme to thinking they had carte blanche to do whatever they wanted with the monopoly money they could create indefinitely.

For once, I actually want a docuseries about this. I understand people who had reasonable trust in this company lost dearly, but I think it would even make a great sitcom. This is hilarious. One of the companies was called "Dave"? Like, really? "Dave"?

I am convinced that Alfred is fully complicit.

Not only in aiding and abetting Bruce's vigilante alter-ego, but encouraging him to become Batman.

He didn't take the boy to therapy, he apparently taught him to release his stress with violence, and he instilled in him that the Wayne legacy was to improve Gotham's standard of living whatever the cost.

Alfred may not have known he was raising a Bat-man, but he definitely raised a violent fanatic with delusions of altruism.

Good, now make it permanent.

I wonder if they keep any data on that. Like I strongly doubt the sincerity of anyone using a dating app to meet someone of a gender they could be romantically involved with strictly for platonic friendship. I assume this is for people who are too socially akward to outright say they are looking for romance who are then nonetheless disappointed when it does not occur, and that it occasionally does occur despite having told the app it wasn't what they were looking for.

Why would a dating app bring people together for platonic relationships?

>met on a dating app

>going on dates

>thought he wasn't romantically interested
