honestly i've delt with more people who refuse to change anything because "what's the point" than I deal with outright deniers anymore.

But most of the people who express that opinion aren't saying it because they think that climate change is unstoppable.

They are saying it because the changes that we know can help fight climate change, that we've known about for years, that international leaders can implement, aren't being done.

And this statement, from someone with a lot influence on global carbon emissions than the average person, seems very out of touch. He is telling off the people whose house is burning down, while ignoring the arsonists.

I agree that we definitely need more supply, but there are a few things that could happen as prices increase, eg people downsizing from large places to smaller places, and people sharing accommodation.

Also, hopefully some people will sell their Air BnBs, increasing the property on the market, they'll probably become Air BnBs again, but maybe it will help with prices.

Again, more supply is needed, and rich investors will probably have a field day, but even if prices don't drop, they should at least stop sky-rocketing.

It's a real shame that injury meant he didn't get to go out on his own terms, or have a proper send off. However, he had an amazing career, and he may go down as the last player to kick 1,000 goals.

At least now he'll have more time to take the bins out.

Agreed, the main reason I use still use Facebook is that it is home to largest communities for by hobbies. The subreddits for those hobbies were practically graveyards and on lemmy it is no better.

Of course, this doesn't mean it can't change, but for some things other communities are better right now.

I'm sure the wet lettuce is being prepared as we speak.

I remember looking this up and the difference is around 1%, so if you're worried about caffeine intake you're better off leaving a mouthful in the bottom of your cup than changing beans.

True, but sometimes it's about harassing and arguing in bad faith, so I totally understand why sometimes the default answer is "google it"

Easiest way to do that would be raise the tax on fuel, but that would be very unpopular.

Everyone in Australia has one, so that's one more country.
