So much this. We need to take back our time and cut down towards a 20 hour work week on average. 4 day work week is a START.
- Comment on YSK that fracking is not safe. People living near fracking sites are more likely to develop serious diseases 1 week ago:
Many ways away from fossil fuel, both solar and nuclear would have been great options, but even with early solar, we would have had to use coal or gass for base load without nuclear was what u was trying to say.
How we let them was just by not standing up and not holding them accountable. That is still the issue today. They knew for DECADES and still is profiting with government subsidies everywhere. We need to push politicians away from lobbying and give them the support they need to be firm with the 1%.

It is if you consider the cost of the redundancy required for renewable energy to serve as base load one you cut oil, gass and coal out of the supply.
Nuclear can cover this base load until we develop better storage systems for large scale use.
If we had just built nuclear with the modern architecture developed in the 70’s onwards we’d be able to move away from fossile fuel FAAR more easily today, without any mjor disasters from the reactor technology from the 50’s.
- Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android. 1 week ago:
I don’t have the app, and searching for “gemini” only gives “gemini settings” which when clicked opens the promt of “do you accept changing Google assistant to gemini”, clicking “not now” just sends me back to setting search.
- Comment on I require nothing more 1 week ago:
Just cut it down. /s

I expected a normal meme. But alas, it is moth month. I like moth month.
- Comment on The current system of online advertising has been ruled illegal 5 weeks ago:
And a few fines to popular websites and news reports about it and people will start to learn what the law is and don’t implement meta haphazardly. “just happen” will quickly turn to “rarely happens” once it becomes enforced.
- Comment on The current system of online advertising has been ruled illegal 5 weeks ago:
Also install consent-o-matic, it handles the popup of most popular websites by default without tweaking ubo.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 1 month ago:
Then you are just doing it wrong. Bread goes stale faster in the fridge due to easier crystallization
- Comment on This ICE-snitching app is actually promoting a meme coin 2 months ago:
No. You can have an opinion, but that doesn’t prove it isn’t settled in facts.
- Comment on He's so negative. He's so weird. 4 months ago:
“low support needs” is the preferred term. Still having needs neurotypical people don’t, but not a lot of them. High support needs would be the opposite.
- Comment on We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition. 6 months ago:
Listening to the same song over and over is no longer for enjoyment, it is for the feelings of safety that your body is comfortable in.

Not possible for me 🫠

Person 1: “fuck you!” Person 2: “a real fuck to you to”
- Comment on Researchers say an AI-powered transcription tool used in hospitals invents things no one ever said 8 months ago:
You can’t do that with personal information like the ones doctors needs transcribed. It has to be local.

Time to introduce the guillotine then
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 8 months ago:
I instinctively closed your comment after reading “short attention span” because I knew what you were going to say. Had to go back to comment because I realise the irony.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
I agree with your arguments. We’re on the same side of all of this.
I disagree on having to remove one if both are bad. It would be like the trolley problem. 10 people suffer repeatedly indefinitely vs infinitely many suffering eventually. Moving all use to sugar cane will be worse for the environment than spreading some honey and some sugar cane. See my previous monocultulturalism point.
Personally I think honey vs sugar cane is equal, so for me the choice is bad either way. I don’t know which is worse, I try to use less, but what I use I feel is ambivalent, so I use both.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
I am not vegan, but simply trying to understand how honey is bad, but as you say “unavoidable collateral damage of agriculture” or not.
There are many ways agriculture could be less harm, less pesticides, less monotone growing practices, more spread out growing. We do not have to accept these practices to not starve.
I don’t think honey collecting is worse than agriculture (even of direct plants for human consumption), so I don’t think vegans should discount honey.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
Do you avoid all sugar products, or just honey?
Sugar growing also kills animals. You cannot avoid all harm, so why discount honey for the harm you know, but not discounting harm from growing sugar?
Reducing harm, sure, but it seems selective to discount honey for small amount of harm, when other things you (assumed) eat do equal (potentially unknown to you) harm.
Do you need to know every process of growing/transporting something to eat it? Or does you list of edible products shrink as you learn every new form of harm?
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
(Strawman)
Killing a few bees when collecting honey
Vs
Killing a lot of insects and rodents when tilling land to grow sugarcane/corn(sirup).
Why discount one not the other?
