Does it count as DIY or professionally installed if you are a professional doing it yourself?

I’m loyal and respectful enough with the people I care. Isn’t that enough?

Nope, you need to actually meet people, do stuff, talk, go places etc. Simply existing and "being nice" is not enough.

Then you need some friends. On the how to acquire one, there are a few ways. One of the most effective outside of school or work is to join some club, some class or some sport activity. For instance, I joined a latin dance class lately (salsa, bachata) and I've met lots of very friendly people. Every Friday they also organize a night out to some local clubs to dance, and there you can meet lots of other people with a similar interest. It's just an example though, pick something interesting, join a group of people etc.

You just need to be proactive. Staying all day in your room commiserating yourself is definitely not sexy

Frankly, those are just local problems and thus negligible (compared to greenhouse gas emissions).

Tell that to those dying because of those toxic emissions.

So don’t be stupid about it: make as much of them as you can out of waste fats and oils, then stop. Easy-peasy!

Sure, I agree, but if you want biofuels to be a significant enough part of the fuel mix, you need to make them at scale, which means you need incentives and by incentives I mean making them profitable enough so that it makes sense to invest billions into making them. At that point it becomes a race towards who can make the most at the lowest price to make the most money, and guess where that brings you. Otherwise, if you limit fuel crops, you'll get a very small production at a high price, since the scalability and possibility for growth will be limited.

Biofuels are best used for filling the gaps left over after cities are fixed for bikeability and everything reasonable to electrify is electrified

This is really what I'd like to see, using the massive taxes on fuels to finance sustainable mobility like trams, rail, bikes etc

Biofuels are great and all to fill that gap, but the moment they become more profitable or cheaper than fossil fuels, it's the moment you're gonna have massive problems.

So you spend your entire day either working/studying or staring at a blank wall?

Btw, it doesn't really matter if you do something actually interesting, it's the attitude that counts. I've tried doing the same thing/going to the same event with different people, some very positive and outgoing, and some very negative, and the experience has been very very different.

If your attitude is "I'm not interesting, and I don't do anything interesting" then guess what, you won't be interesting to anyone around you. Btw, going to the pub for a beer can be very interesting. Walking somewhere can be interesting.

I mean, Zola Larson wouldn't even be such a bad name (zola is how Gorgonzola is abbreviated in Italy)

Not really. Biofuels are better than normal oil-derived fuels in terms of excess CO2 being dispersed in the environment, but they are still overall bad. They still release harmful particulates, they still release lots of NOx, and they are doubly bad in terms of land utilization, where you use huge swaths of land to cultivate plants with the sole goal of making them into fuel, rather than using that land to make food. Moreover, in a lot of places the cultivation of biofuel plants is being done by burning down forests and using that land for farming.

Biofuels are definitely better than normal petrol or diesel, but they are still overall bad, and I'd also argue that if we 100% switched to biofuels we'd have massive issues in terms of land, farming-related emissions, deforesting etc.

Ah! Rigor mortis joke

So Justin Bieber circa 2014, i.e. dropcrotch pants, aka diaper pants.

I think those are some of the most hideous pants ever. Or do you mean like Swiss Guard pants?

Tbf "from the river to the sea" and "Israel destruction" are pretty much the same thing.

No, it's not about inclusivity or lack-thereof, it's about you needing to at least KNOW the language before proposing changes to it. I don't need your ignorant opinion. No one needs it. We have enough people talking about shit they know nothing about from their smug high horse, as if their opinion is just as valid as truly knowledgeable people. Learn Spanish, speak it fluently, and then come back.

Or maybe you are one of those people that are flabbergasted when they hear the word "negro" in Spanish?
