Masnick gives 20 levels of development. Elon stopped here:
Level Two: “We’re the free speech platform! But no CSAM!”
And that’s about it. Ex-Twitter has copyright infringement, hate speech and doesn’t give a fuck about local laws unless the law actually has teeth (Brasil, anybody?).
I agree completely.
It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.
Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.
It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.
I could tell you the facts, like how stopping eating meat is one of the easiest ways to make a huge change. I could give you some studies, show you how almost every report on climate change in the last 15 years has listet going more plant based is part of their recommendations. But you know what? I’m just fucking over with people that aren’t grown up enoth to even do the slightest little change in their lives.
We deserve the future that awaits us.
Your plan is to require every individual on the planet to make sacrifices that could kill them and their loved ones? You think that’s actually achievable?
No. I complete not registered the second half of your sentence while quoting it. No fucking idea how that happend. Complete brain fart on my end.
So what’s a realistic approach to the problem:
Getting billions of individuals to change across the planet? Which requires most of them and their families to die?
AND
Changing a few dozen companies.
Changes like this don’t happen in an empty space. If you have an Eco aware consumer base it help a lot.
Having a consumer base that is aware of and cares about the environment is going to help a lot on that regard.
Good start. Then go vegetarian of even vegan and you should be good ;-)
Seven years on, the utility has not delivered on its clean-energy sales pitch. NW Natural has more retail gas customers than ever. It supplies them little, if any, renewable natural gas. It sells them as much fossil natural gas in an average year as it did before. And it wages steady battles in the courts and in local city halls to keep the gas flowing.

I found this to be a good video on the topic.
It breaks down how LNG was labeled a “transitional technology” under Obama and has taken over the energy market, with plans to still expand it in a massive way, thereby taking away money and resources that could be used for renewable energy sources.

Do you believe that climate change is largely driven by human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels? If not, is there a different cause you would cite?
Didn’t say yes.
Here I agree, the question isn’t answered.
But:
Do you believe climate change is making disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires and heat waves more intense?
Almost said yes.
"The science is clear. Extreme weather will only get worse, and the climate crisis will only accelerate.’’
How is that not a yes?
Should climate change be addressed through government action or market forces?
Practically a yes. I award a half credit
“Under Harris’s climate plan as a 2019 presidential candidate, she advocated for a blend of government action and market forces to combat global warming.”
It’s not a yes because this is not a yes or no question. It gives a very clear answer though. How is this half credit?
Do you support clean-energy tax credits such as those for electric vehicles?
Again half credit. Not an actual yes.
“In 2022, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides hundreds of billions of dollars in government subsidies for electric cars and other clean-energy technology, including tax credits for clean-energy and energy-efficiency home projects.”
That answers the question, again.
So, in 3 out of 4 questions the answers are very clear. And giving a “long” answer to a complex question is, in my opinion, appropriate.
What’s cake day?

That’s great and I am happy for you how well your lifestyle seems to be going. Rural is always a challenge when avoiding meat, I know how much effort it can mean. Good on you for hanging in there.
Almonds have their issues, but that said are still ahead of the curve in regards to envirmental impact in comparison to animal products.
Yeah, I see your point. If it’s just about emissions full plant based of course would still be the best outcome, because even diary products have a huge environmental impact. Not as bad as meat, but still considerably higher than any plant based choice. I found it fascinating that an avocado that has been shipped across the ocean to Europe still is a better choice than local diary products, enviormentaly speaking.
In regards to research etc. I get your point. I tranaiended from vegetarian to vegan about 10 years ago and the first half year was a lot of research what I could buy and couldn’t and how I should make meals in order to not run into any problems. After that it just became my new normal. It takes zero effort these days, minus the occasional struggle to find a good place of go out.
What is holding you back from going vegan or at least vegetarian? I’m not trying to judge, I’m just interested. If you care about the environment it would seem a logical choice, that’s why I’m asking.
I still personally believe buying local is probably the best bet
You call it a belive rightfully, because in order to hold it you have to activly disregard the multiple studies that point to animal products beefing worse for the environment even if shipped around the world.
I am sorry if this doesn’t agree with your world view. It’s a reality that has been proven by multiple authors again and again now.
Water under the bridge, no worries. I didn’t realize you had deleted your comment because I replied trough my inbox. I deleted the response.
Yeah, but try saying something slightly to nuanced about the Israel - Palestine situation almost anywhere here and you get nuked.
