  • So you're saying it's impossible for humans to create art without first seeing art? That creates a problem of how to first piece of art came from.

    Also have you never drawn anything during class as a kid? Because I definitely did, my old notebooks are full of various drawings and I had no interest in art outside of boredom in class. Art comes from imagination, not nothing.

  • The vast majority of cars sold here are small used cars, most people don't buy new cars around here. Like most cars you see on the streets are a decade old and maybe once old ass electric cars appear in the used car market there will be a switch.

  • I did say prison is supposed to rehabilitate someone as that's the only way a prison is effective. The American system doesn't even work as a deterrence since you got like the highest percentage of your population imprisoned among the better off countries not run by just a warlord.

    Even if you are using prison as a theoretical deterrence putting someone who had a psychological break in there deters nothing.

  • Prison is supposed to exist to rehabilitate someone who commits a crime, if she had a psychological break prison is not really the place to send her.

    I think she should get psychological treatment though instead of probation, they should get to the bottom of what caused this so it wouldn't happen again. Also I would definitely need some counselling after killing someone during an episode.

  • Something similar happened to me though I have never sold anything but bought like 3 items over 5 years and my selling got limited for some unknown reason. I figured it's no great loss and deleted my account and made a new one.

  • Yea, I have heard, that's why I'm saying a better solution would be to build proper public transit. Like a political group I'm a part of are trying to get the city to expand the tram network to the surrounding areas in the county. We got them to expand it to the harbor recently and the construction finished like at the second half of last year.

  • What even is white? Like who is considered white seems to change every 5 or so years and the people in Europe usually don't even identify as white.

    Like in my native language calling someone white doesn't even make sense or exist. Also calling someone back in my native language is actually insulting since black and dirty are the same word and people assume the former.

  • How do you propose the consumption would change without alternatives? For example the meat industries is subsidised to hell, why would people stop buying meat if its the effordable option. You will never achieve systematic change with individual action, that has like never worked.

    Another example is the requirements for cars is driven by car companies, not individuals. That was lobbied heavily and a lot of cities got redesigned for cars instead of walking.

  • I grew up in a small town of less than 6000 people and we had bus lines connecting it to larger cities and a bus line that went around the town as well, I never had to take a car anywhere and you usually didn't see more than 3 cars at once because everyone either walked or took the bus.

    The problem with EVs is that won't be adopted at a rate to make a difference while building public transit could happen faster so as a stopcap they do nothing currently and probably won't until it's too late either while only working as a distraction while public transit could be just be built with the same political will behind it as EVs have.

    Getting everyone to switch to EVs is not happening in several decades, for example here in Estonia people mostly buy old used cars because new cars are ungodly expensive EVs even more so, I have seen one EV in 10 years.

  • Georgia makes the best soft drinks in the world in my opinion. My personal favourite is pear flavoured Natakhtari: https://natakhtari.com/lemonade

    Also fun fact: Lemonade means soft drink in a lot of places in the world, I hear that's lemon flavoured water in the US.

  • It's the same thing with recycling, companies trying to sell the idea that climate change is a personal failing of every single person even though said companies are responsible for like 90% of carbon emissions.

    The problem with EVs is that we already have a better fix for this: public transit. Like trams and trains are both electric and would solve the microplastics caused by tires. Car companies are just pushing EVs to make a profit as always, the percentage of adoption required to effect climate changes isn't happening in the next several decades so just fix the issue centrally with proper public transit and actually effect climate change before we all die.
