@empiricism By far the biggest single thing a person can do to reduce their impact on CO2 emissions, resource depletion, biodiversity loss etc is to not have children. Vegetarianism and veganism are certainly helpful, but as someone who doesn't have kids (in addition to many other measures to reduce my ecological footprint), I'm not going to stress eating the occasional hamburger.

@MeidasTouch When you factor in #inflation, it shrank. That inflation is mostly a side effect of massive govt stimulus, which prevented the economy from totally collapsing during covid, so worth it overall, but please let's be real about the performance of the economy.
@Sheril The qualities you enjoy tend to be associated with small communities. Unfortunately, small online communities tend to disappear if they fail to catch on or become big communities if do catch on which then attracts people seeking monetary or political gain, which then breeds the bad qualities you sought to escape at Twitter.
@clsytim I agree with this. I would be much more likely to pay a la carte. Perhaps a third party could work with online news sources, provide a purchase button on the news site, total a person's views for the month then just bill them once, cutting down credit card transaction fees. Based on the number of article views, they would then make a monthly payment to each news site.
@stux To be fair, 150 years ago the same cartoon could have read "Look how much space we've surrendered to horse drawn carriages". The important thing is being able to power our transportation sustainably so in 150 years the cartoon doesn't read look how much of our city we've surrendered to the ocean. #sustainable #renewables #EV #commonsense #globalwarming

How do people still think moving to the SW US is good idea? Will these people be bailed out at our expense when the tap runs dry and their property becomes unlivable and worthless?
@mrbitterness @flangeworthy @evacide The worst part is, even if you opt out, you're sti surrounded by everyone else's camera/microphone. When AI/the internet achieves true sentience and grows beyond human control, we better hope it is benevolent, since it will be near omniscient.
@jbonewald @davidbilla One person's paradise is another person's hell. Both sides seem preoccupied with remaking the whole world as their paradise. The trick is getting both sides to knock it off at the same time.
