Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes
Companies want your money and nothing else. Any wokeness you are perceiving is a strategy to make the most money out of their customer base.
Companies pandering to "wokeness" have done the math and figure more of their customers support it than not. This isn't really wokeness, it's pandering.
no, I'm in Australia. idk what the deal is
If you enjoy fighting this hard, if you have the free time, and the money and the energy to do so, and it makes you feel good, you should, but recognize it comes from a place of privilege.
Most people are overworked, broke, and tired. To expect them to cycle to work and grow their own food, and spend their weekends community building, when megacorporations are polluting more everyday than anyone ever could in a lifetime, is out of touch with reality.
Until we can make sweeping systemic changes to society, any individuals efforts to reduce consumption is futile, and thinking that everyone must do everything they can to save the human race because humans are so vital to the universe is delusional. Humans can go extinct, it's fine, it wont matter.
Sorry I can't help, just wanted to say I'm jealous, it doesn't come out in my country until August.
Another vote for connect. It's my current go to after trying jerboa, liftoff, summit, and thunder. Although thunder is a close second.
We're not going to all die in half a century.
We haven't even reached the tipping point yet so if you want to believe humans can still be saved, that is still technically a possibility - at least short term.
Ultimately humanity will go extinct one day, there's no way around that. If you want to believe the worst news (I'm not saying you shouldn't) then sure, it looks like humanity is in its way out sooner than later. But it's not within your lifetime, not even your kids if you have one, This is a slow burn, it's gonna take hundreds of years at least.
And ultimately there's nothing you can do about it. Even if you go vegan and stop driving, it's not going to change billionaire superyachts and private planes. It's not going to stop Nestle ruining our rainforests. Or BP destroying our coasts with oil spills. It's not going to stop our politicians being unable to enact policies to save ourselves.
The extinction of humanity is not in your lifetime and not your fault. Stop worrying and go watch TV
Gojira are great! I saw them at a festival probably 10 years ago without knowing who they were or anything about them and they blew me away. Such a unique sound
Yes absolutely! I like that I can basically catch up on all Lemmy content in an hour or so. It means I don't spend hours mindlessly scrolling (like I did with reddit) and gives me more time to do something more meaningful
Who in their right mind would think this idea is anything other than trying???
Australian here, never met anyone who boils tap water before drinking it. Some people have filtered water taps installed but our tap water is usually pretty great, I drink probably 2-3 litres of it a day
What is this article? Some random family made their own rules for spotto. Every family has their own rules. How is the newsworthy?
