If you called for help but no one came, how would you feel? Despite sad songs sung by cowboys, believe that not all roses have thorns. Dare to be stupid but don't be an American Idiot.

  • Absolutely

  • No one will experience a better climate than today
  • We're probably not heading into over 4.8 though. Probable outcomes are between 2.5 and 3.5 (both of which are horrific.)

  • Genuine question - is degrowth compatible with human nature?
  • Well, you've got to keep in mind that Native American societies (like Communist ones btw) faced constant cultural and physical genocide from Capitalists wherever the two systems touched. This is exactly like the "well, Communism lost so Capitalism is better" argument, when Capitalism was violently enforced (in favor of dictatorships, against democracy) wherever Communist revolutions took place.

  • Carbon capture more costly than switching to renewables, researchers find
  • Going vegan is a relatively small difference from going vegetarian, which is a small difference from just drastically cutting back on meat. The big thing is that our current systems are unsustainable for animal rights and the environment and everyone needs to cut back on meat drastically at the least. But I imagine that if you could stop driving a car entirely, that would be a bigger difference than losing a reasonable amount of meat from your diet. Though, cutting back on meat is an important step that all of us can take with much more ease.

  • Yeah, I agree that detached houses should be an option. But the degree to which they are the option is inane. We (in USAmerica at least) need to be building like a third the detached houses we are and like a hundred times the mid-density housing we are.

  • Common discourse tactics of the "Alt"-Right
  • Yeah, this is my go to. Though, I'm not certain how the earlier ones stand up.

  • Asgoriel fanart by 子薯Shon
  • Beautiful!! ;)

  • TIL In the USA, PMI Can Be Canceled With a Good Payment History
  • Yeah, banks aren't amazing, but from what I'm seen, whatever bs they pull is like the thing least wrong with the American financial system. It at least makes sense.

  • Hasn’t worked yet, but there’s a first time for everything right?
  • I have had times when closing the application and reopening the project fixes the bug. But only on godot.

  • ‘We’ll all have to go vegan’: Wisconsin dairy farmers fret over immigration crackdown
  • I just want to say, this meme is doing numbers on Tumblr (yes I still use Tumblr, don't @me), so far that number is 14.

  • Opinion: The best trade retaliation? Hit the U.S. with a carbon-tax tariff
  • We is Canada here? Yeah, they probably should, but that's not really relevant to this discussion, which is about Canada retaliating against US tariffs. This is not a discussion where China is relevant, because its about the US and Canada. I don't disagree with you from a policy standpoint, so I won't make any more responses, but relevance is important.

  • Opinion: The best trade retaliation? Hit the U.S. with a carbon-tax tariff
  • While I agree that we should be looking at other forms of pollution as well, I wonder why you're bringing China up in a discussion about Canada imposing a carbon tariff on the USA?

  • So you want to join the fediverse?
  • I just checked that one out, I've been trying to limit my social media to only computers, so no apps is almost a plus, at some point I might move my main over to piefed. Mbin seems mostly confusing to me rn.

  • So you want to join the fediverse?
  • Thank you so much. This helps a lot.

  • Nice infographic I found on Mastodon
  • Ok, yeah, that would be the ideal end point. Such a software would have to be able to process data from all our current softwares, and so far my usage of mbin (which only tries a few things) has been mostly confusing. Making one that works and is usable would be an extreme challenge. I think it will happen eventually, but it'll be a while. Would be killer though.

  • So you want to join the fediverse?
  • I'm new here (the fediverse in general), this is exactly the type of thing I want to see. Everything seems much better here, but its harder to navigate (as in to find stuff appealing to you.) I will be looking through some of this stuff.

    I'm trying to set it up so that I don't create too many different accounts and stuff. Is there a good reason to go make an account on a piefed instance as well as Lemmy? Because it looks like Lemmy and Piefed instances can be federated with each other.

  • New Data Shows Giant Petrochemical Plant Has Failed to Boost Local Economy - Inside Climate News
  • With you on that. I doubt that the data will do us much good rn, but its still good to see mega-corps getting called out on devwashing (economic development washing, IDK if there's already a good term.)
