I started referencing the Earth Simulator about 2 decades ago… my particular life has progressed from the plentiful 50s to the dire 20s, icecaps melting, pollution killing us slowly and we have zero ability, to grab this bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground.

And not the first time I’ve said it, I have no clue how many of you are real, versus AI constructs designed to entertain and infuriate on occasion.
