Good thing they got those masks to protect their chins from catching COVID.

Alright stop, nuculate and glisten
Ice was stacked in polar suspension
The cold held those glaciers oh so tightly
Too much melt can’t be taken lightly
“Will it ever stop?” Yo, I don’t know
Turn off the gas, or we’ll all go
Climate extreme, global warming is a scandal
Soon both our poles’ll be too hot to handle
Melt, like a slow Hiroshima
It’s killing coastal towns surer than Katrina
Deadly, for all of humanity
COP28 was both late and a banality
Believe it or don’t, the water’s coming your way
Drop carbon emissions, don’t waste a day
There is a real problem, yo, who’ll solve it?
Antarctic melting is apocalyptic shit
Ice-ice-baby!
It’s losing ice-ice-baby!
They aren’t sorry either, and also don’t need to worry about carcinogenic hormones and hormone byproducts in their beef too.
Maybe, but clearly they also think food safety is a thing too.

Someone: “These people are dying from the droughts! So many lives ended!!”
Corporations: “Ended? No, those lives are just disrupted.”
It was Martin Seligman who did dog shock experiments and developed the theory of learned helplessness in 1967. While Seligman demonstrated that learned helplessness did occur, we still don’t know why learned helplessness occurs (especially in humans).
Pavlov was much earlier (1897) and formed the theory of classical conditioning where a primary stimulus (food) was paired with a neutral stimulus (a bell) under the right conditions until the neutral stimulus would evoke a similar automatic response as the primary stimulus (e.g. drooling).
What you are describing also sounds a little like operant conditioning, where a learned behaviour is reinforced or punished with the application or removal of a stimulus. Or in this case, where the link between a behaviour and a stimulus is eroded to the point where the learned link goes extinct, and the subject becomes desensitized to the repeated stimulus.
About to do a huge Christmas gathering, I feel this.
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
