the analogy holds, against all odds: you can stab yourself in the eye without even trying, and you sure could stab yourself in the eye especially well if you tried, but that still doesn't demonstrate any ability to perform eye surgery

this is a really shitty analogy
the problem with Mars, for example, would be too many eyes in this analogy
if we can poke out eyes it means we can fix that problem
(although there are several orders of magnitude too many eyes in the mars problem)
also, manmade global warming has a bright side: It means terraforming is possible!
Yeah, that is the brightside. We have the means to accidentally devastate planets! Hurray.
Next stop Mars. Fuck you, Mars.
...there is no way to really make Mars a less shitty place to live.
Challenge Accepted.
I meant more
I meant more shitty place.
Funnily enough I read that as more shitty place.
God damn it, now the joke doesn't work.

can't believe my niece's birthday party is from 9 to 11 a.m. tomorrow. it's going to suck so much ass. I'll have to wake up at 7 a.m. just like it was a workday. Boo-urns. probably only that early so that my brother and his wife can have another one bday for her later in the day but out in east Texas with his in-laws.
anyway, how is everyone? still alive? no suicides and whatnot?

How about a compromise?
Man made climate change, while right now doesn't mean we can terraform, does open up research avenues which may one day lead to that ability (which conversely, might negate climate change itself).
In much the same way that the first guy who stabbed himself in the eye may have triggered a "I wonder what you could do if you did that on purpose..." reaction in other peole.

At work for a half day but it's not busy and a bunch of work folks are meeting at a local bar after for lunch so it should be good times. Think I might have a scotch ale and some fried pepperoni or chicken wings.

No, it means we can terraform. To a very small degree.
Most places in the solar system are way way way too cold.
I meant terraform in the sense of making a place more like Earth, not make Earth um more like Earth.
It doesn't help Earth for shit.

Or Venus. It does not help for Venus either. But I think that's a lost cause anyway. At ground level, atleast.

Man, i'm learning SO MUCH HISTORY from video games. Whoever said video games can't teach you things never played Assassin's Creed or Sengoku Basara. Those are history lessons made fun!

You change your mind about your career every twenty-five minutes.
That sounds cool
yes, I do
although it's just changing beetween types of machine engineer, really
I'll be working for petroleum companies and therefore be evil, though

There's got to be a way to solve this in a cool, sci-fi like fashion.
Make America's baby boomer generation sequester carbon. Inside their bodies. Before we seal them inside a mountain.
There is always how they handled it in highlander 2 with that shitty shitty dome/shield thing.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
I have never seen highlander 2.

Highlander what? There were sequels?
No.
There was 1 Highlander.
There were 3 Indiana Jones films.
There was 1 Matrix film.
There are four lights.
Yeah, that is the brightside. We have the means to accidentally devastate planets! Hurray.
Next stop Mars. Fuck you, Mars.
...okay?
That's not what we're doing. We're directly influencing the greenhouse effect here. Without even trying.
Imagine what we could do to Mars, if we tried.
No, but we could make it harder to terraform because we don't have any real understanding of how to impact planetary climates.
