Schrödinger's PratIt's always "you need to build up a tolerance to crop failures" and never "billionaires should build up a tolerance to not having yachts".
mark@Rhodium103 I'm also constantly annoyed at long term solutions such as light colored shingles and better insulation. Like, wtf! The fixes are to stop spewing shit into the environment. Now
Ariaflame@ATLeagle @Rhodium103 Why not both? And those are things that help *now*. Energy not used is energy not being generated by fossil fuels. The less energy being used, the more we can fulfil all our energy needs with renewables. I take it therefore you don't have a heater or an air conditioning unit?
@ariaflame @Rhodium103 my problem isn't why not both, my point is that we are only doing one, and its the dumbest one.
I'm lucky enough to have been able to do many energy saving upgrades to my house. The people that don't have control of those choices, or money to do it are impacted.
That was a very twitterific response. Congrats on bringing the "why do you hate waffles" conversation back into my life
@ATLeagle I know people are limited. So they do what they can. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. And sorry, I encountered some other people that threw me back a bit into that mode. I really don't know who you mean by 'we' there.
A.Stringer@ATLeagle @Rhodium103 with absolutely no consideration for the other non human occupants of this planet who require it to survive (producing fake trees springs to mind- good luck nesting in that if you're a bird)
@Annekin @Rhodium103 or humans who live outside or mostly outside. Or humans who don't control any of these things.
