Reply to comment by !deleted1759 in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wonders whether Americans should stop having children in the face of climate change by ziq
Did you read what she said? She is only making a suggestion about personal choice. Is it eugenics because she has a platform that primmies don‘t have?
I think you're projecting a lot about her and your conceptions about other politicins. AOC, from the impact she's made in only two months of being in office, is almost nothing like other politicians. Do you believe people lose their radicalism as soon as they look towards changing politics to help the people with the shit end of the stick?
Yes, shes not that radical, but radicalism and praxis isnt a binary situation.

Reply to How streaming music could be harming the planet by ziq
So basically what its saying is they if you're going to stream a song more than 27 times "buy a physical copy" read:download the song.
Also spotify mobile streaming comes from their servers, but streaming on desktops is p2p-powered which I believe isnt nearly as energy consumptive. I should look more critically at the numbers they gave and do some research into how correct or overblown they are but I dont think it would be the best use of my time.

Reply to Is that a singularity in your pocket or are you just happy to see me enslaved? Transhumanism’s class problem by theheart
Made me think too: how the hell is a robotic leadership going to provide us meaningful global change? A certain large sect of voters arent going to trust robots and another large sect of voters will feel threatened by a robotic leadership and do what they can to stop it. Will it lead to a robot-led insurrection leading to a worldwide robot vs human civil war? Or more likely, the robots will be programmed to help the capitalists that created them and under critisism say they are "programmed to help humankind ."
The last part of the essay about the nerds desiring transhumanism because they arent comfortable in their skin makes me think of a meme about the nerd and his high school crush but the nerd has rocket blaster arms and a half robot face and robotic legs sponsered by DARPA yelling "I am the alpha! I am the pinnicle of humananity!"

Reply to comment by conseil in Lobbying by multinational corporations and trillions in government subsidies for unsustainable agriculture and fossil fuels are driving obesity, malnutrition and climate change, a major report has warned by ziq
"Ya, fuck yall for saying I eat less meat even though I could. Im not doing anything wrong, its the corporations that need to be held accountable and stop what they're doing and im so glad that's gonna happen soon!
/sarcasm
Ugh.
Its also possible to boycott these corporations when its possible too. I think the mindset that individuals arent in the wrong is a pretty harmful mindset.

I have a hunch that most pragmatic vegans will be against this new discovery, even though those same vegans say that vaccines are still worth taking even though they contain animal parts.

Reply to enbies at the clothing shop by An_Old_Big_Tree
If I thrift (I normally do) I go to womens cause they have cooler stuff. If im buying new I go to mens cause i'll want it be bland and (unnecessarily) better quality. Its fucked how basic mens clothing is usually black or tan and womens is blue or purple or something with an unnecesary pattern and generally worse in construction.

Ya, I'm not sure why I don't use Tor on desktop all the time.
I didn't know about Lightning browser. Thanks! The only thing keeping me from switching away from Kiwi browser is that Kiwi has a night mode that is really nice to use with my amoled screen.

If anyone reading this is using chome, Why? Google is learning everything you do online because of it. Firefox is a fantasic desktop browser. I didn't want to make the switch a year ago but when I did I loved it. If you're on a mobile device, Firefox, DuckDuckGo, and Kiwi are all great open source options.

There was some discussion about this on Hacker News. uBlock is able to block more ads than just what you have on /etc/hosts. I don't know the terminology so I cant expand on that.
Also not nearly as easy as installing a browser extension.

If you have a belief and you do nothing, do you actually have that belief?
I like this a lot. Definitely going to quote this whenever I can and do what I can do live by it.
Also going vegan, planting trees, harassing corporations, going straightedge, and any other positive action/praxis is going to influence others simply through societal pressure, but pragmatism to help others make positive actions can do a lot too. Its much harder for people to start doing any of these things without meeting people that already do them.

Reply to comment by !deleted8205 in Let's Discuss: Corporations and Individual Choices by happy
everyone is doing it so how can they be wrong? It's not surprising they believe that when the entire system is based on democracy.
I like this a lot.
There's definitely other evil industries besides the meat industry and the tech industry, every industry is going to be evil, they all take part in the violence.
I think I read it somewhere on Raddle today, if you believe in something and don't act on it is it really something you believe in? Edit: that was bloodrose in a few posts down.

Reply to comment by spacersparanoid in Lab-grown meat could be worse for the climate than beef by An_Old_Big_Tree
I did the math a while ago and I think it came out to be the worlds yearly supply of seaweed would be depleted in 3 days by feeding it to just American cattle.
It would probably be better to just plant more seaweed and let it do its plant thing than use it as a bandaid for cattle.
