That’s beautiful to hear! How do you keep the passion alive for so long? What’s your secret?

Nettle stew. Yes, it’s good for you. It tastes like cow shit to me.

Not a troll question - but how is the sex life? Do you still yearn for each other? How often do you consummate, if you do? If you have stopped, how did that happen? Any regrets on that front?

We call diesel fuel “naphtha” and gasoline is benzene.

No worries. I’ll read up on that too, thanks for the additional reading material :)

That’s exactly my point, yep.

Nature naturally (pun intended) balances itself. If there’s no rabbits, the wolves die out. Allows for the rabbit population to recover. We play Gods with this. We overfarm, overforradge, deforest massive woods, that have existed in peace for eons. We simply don’t let nature recover, because we think we are masters of the universe.

I’m not a hippy - by no means. I consume, I raise children and (although electric) I drive a car. Still, I buy tyres, that are a huge pollutant, I consume electricity to charge it, which is not always renewable, etc etc. It goes on. But this means nothing. I am alone amongst my peers - in my extended circle of friends & colleagues (approx. 400 people), I can only think of 2-3 people that are like me - conscious about what they consume / throw away / reuse / recycle.

Then Jeff Bezos organises his wedding in Venice, and his guests all arrive with their personal plane, while I would not buy and drink coffee if it’s not made (at the very least) with the paper coffee pods…

Do I feel stupid? Sometimes. Am I ridiculed sometimes? Daily. But I stand by my principles.

desire for infinite growth in a finite system - results are obvious. the finite system will crash and burn. we are fucked, nature will recover when we make it not suitable for humans

My point was more in the tone of, the dialing on a smartphone is the tiniest problem that those devices have. Just kill social media. Yes, lemmy included. This human experiment failed and the repercussions are incalculable.

/s? Say /s please.

on a dedicated phone you had dedicated phone. No call history, no phonebook, no call log. So yes, it is technically more taps to get to the dialing stage. But it’s faster overall
