Oh, I hope that didn’t come across as a trap question, sorry if it did. I don’t know the exact right answer myself.

I guess my thoughts on the “too hard” statement comes from the feeling of fighting for every inch I can get against the hyper-sucessful businesses creating the gross system I’m forced to be in. People’s basic needs are not taken care of and mental health is in crisis. I find it hard to justify judging people based on anything other than how they handle directly interacting with something or someone. After all, I buy local as much as reasonably possible and have reduced the meat consuption for my family, but sometimes I’m just exhausted and get a burger because I’ve been craving one all week. Those in power need to enforce moral imperatives on others in power before I focus on individuals.

I am glad to read that last part. Not enough small changes are celebrated and encouragement goes so much further than criticism. Especially when it’s in such short supply.

Uhh, Mostly because the graph already shows lamb and mutton to be half the impact as beef.

Genuinely, thank you for sharing. That’s an interesting takeaway and a little different than mine. What do you think matters more the ethics of destroying/replacing the system vs the ethics of negatively affecting/interfereing with those in the system? Example: Would it be ethical to kill/euthanize all the cows in a cramped feedlot along with whoever is in charge so it wouldn’t happen again?

I predict goat and sheep cheese is better than cow cheese in emissions, but is it about the same 10:1 ratio for output?

Ok, sure. Tangentally related, have you seen the ending to the show The Good Place?

Ty. I guess OP could be hinting at that. I don’t pick up on hints very well, and thought they were saying the news should also report about vehicle accident and death rates sometime.

I mean, how many times have we seen news reports of people intentially driving into protesters? I do wish they had the leading cause of death for comparison tho. Probably cancer, looks like a low-estimate is 6000 people a year just in Chicago.

Are you saying that OP is making a “cheap false equivalence”? They are commenting on news coverage, so I don’t follow what you mean.

That doesn’t make the comparison invalid, it can just be misleading to those with poor data literacy. Knowing how many “preventable” deaths from each source is valuable, but only if people are planning to do something about it.

Well hell. At lvl 200 you should be able to just buy a conjuration book and chug a fortify magika potion to summon your own.

That sounds a lot like library ebook renting. Makes sense to me. Ty

I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you.

I mean, I had no faith to begin with that you would do anything but sit back. That’s why my advice was to get active instead of talk.

Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen

I’m used to reading, “go f*** yourself.” but this may be the first time I have read “go f*** myself.” Grabbed this for you to help you watch 🪞 (* >ω<)

I hope you eventually find joy by not obsessing over other people. Lead, don’t dictate. (-ε- )

Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I’ll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.

Actually, I’m glad they responded. I’m getting a huge kick out of the poorly done trolling attempt.

Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won’t celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That’s the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.

That is, assuming you aren’t a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.

Really appreciate it. I’ve been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.

For temporary solutions, yes. They have three major, perpetual issues that are not solved by tourism money.

1. Rising sea levels.
2. Too many boats making waves rocking the foundations more.
3. Too much groundwater extraction (seawater pressure will push inland with less groundwater pressure).

Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That’s how it’s supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.

They are being shot at. Injuries requiring hospitalization with a chance for permanent disability isn’t “performative.” I can hope but can not trust enough people remain in the police and national guard who are willing to prevent escalation.

As to civil war, I lived in a place where multiple people were hopeful for civil war to start and another place where my high school teacher joked on Facebook about open season on liberals and needing bodybags. I feel a need to prepare for the scum around me, since several are already impersonating ICE officers or killing people.
