  People still try to do this and insist on absolute emissions numbers rather than per capita to do so.

  Yes Canada’s total emissions with 40 million population is doing great compared to China’s, what a feel good statistic, I guess we should build those pipelines and liquify that natural gas

  Empathy can absolutely develop over time. This rhetoric is not useful. Even dumb fucking right wing pieces of shit feel empathy when their in-group is affected.

  If hate can be learned so can empathy, what you’re suggesting is dehumanizing

  I’m with you that the economic system is the root cause of the problem and I’m fighting that battle too in my own way. I have too much to lose to really fight it, but there’s a lot more direct action and community involvement I could be doing. Ideologically, though, I’m anti-capitalist and believe that the way forward is collectivism in the form of anarcho-communism.

  That’s a lot harder to achieve than going vegan, though.

  fair enough, no shortage of problems from the wealthy and capitalism at large.

  Maybe they should advocate for better fuel regulations and densification ;)

  ok be the worst version of yourself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not the one making excuses about individual climate action. I take individual climate action. I’m vegan, I am electrifying my house, I have consistently reduced my consumption. I aim for a lifestyle that would scale up to the whole world.

  If you think we need to eliminate the wealthy or nothing is worth doing, then do the thing you think is worth doing. I’m doing plenty, I’m not the one making excuses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  thanks for all your climate action 🫡

  Ok go ahead, instead you’ll do nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this thread ended up being more hostile to regular Americans than I intended but US culture and US global hegemony are the things that attract and amplify the shitty people from around the world.

  USA is the final boss of capitalist imperialism and the people have completely lost control over the reins. It’s now a matter of when they actually say enough is enough, be it now or after Fascism runs its course and hurts millions of others around the world as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

  We’re not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

  Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it’s dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don’t have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

  Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don’t feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop your billionaires from funding right wing bullshit in my country then

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  After all the shit you’re giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He’s a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he’s your creation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the AI bubble bursts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  similarly when there’s some simple arithmetic I can’t mentally calculate I use a cloud based coal powered statistical word generator because I don’t realize that there are existing dedicated tools for the job and it’s easier for me to defecate my stream of consciousness into a chat window than to take my eyes off vertical infinite scrolling video long enough to take basic troubleshooting steps

  yes we should be doing more to reduce driving, it’s relatively unsafe and I’m sick of our lived environments being designed for cars and not people.

  I’m pretty anti capitalist and wish the whole system would fuck off but they’re not suing because of the lack of performance of their investment, they’re alleging that United didn’t give necessary information to investors

  Oh hey it’s once again the “freedom advocate” who is always spouting off support for the most fascist oppressive shit going on in the world. I should learn how to block in this new app

  Other things that steal wind include buildings and mountains. In service of big wind we must level our terrain and cities.

  Becoming fascist to own the libs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish it was new… These lazy fuckers recycle their talking points and morons like the one above eat them up because it’s easier than a simple search I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is demonstrably false, most wind farms offset their carbon cost in a matter of single digit years and then it’s pure profit.

  These numbers exist, you don’t have to take propaganda at face value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The left went too far - time to move things right⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a leftist you should understand that it’s insincere to compare implementations of communism to the core inextricable functions of capitalism. Bad implementations of communism have wealth disparity, all implementations of capitalism have wealth disparity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-driven weather prediction breakthrough reported - The Guardian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll acknowledge my comment was rude, you are expressing humility now that wasn’t present in your original assertive message. You hopefully have a better understanding now.

  This misinformation about national debt that you unintentionally spread is used by conservatives around the world to deny people services

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-driven weather prediction breakthrough reported - The Guardian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people when faced with an overly simple explanation doubt their own understanding and try to see why experts and academics say otherwise.

  Others assume they know better than the experts and everyone is an idiot but them.

  Maybe you know a lot about a topic, and see others choose one of those paths when questioning your area of expertise.

  Which kind of person do you want to be?

  One thing we overlook in ideological debates is that most forms of socialism and communism would have no use for advertising and marketing. Imagine all this effort going to productive endeavors and having an IRL adblock.

  May my last online purchase be a beret.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your voice assistant is profiling you, just not in the way you expect, new research finds.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While this is true, it’s not difficult to verify. You can inspect the network traffic through your router from that device and see whether it’s communicating more often or with larger data packets while you’re talking near but not to it.

  That could be obfuscated with a powerful enough device that’s able to maintain the user profile locally and by sending the full profile each time, or by trickling the information out bit by bit as part of a regular heartbeat traffic, but that would require more expensive hardware and would eat up a lot more bandwidth.

  Not impossible, but not undetectable either. I’m willing to bet that studies have been done.

  Skepticism is good but without thinking through it, experimenting, or doing research to back it up it’s just paranoia. Conversely you could say my trust that others would have looked into it is naive.
