European diet can be very much centered around meat too unfortunately, farmers also have a lot of power here. Guess it is still better than the US, but we are part of the problem too.

I agree that just stopping subsidies and let everything in the hands of market forces won't do. We cannot juste expect things to work better in the current system, it would need many other forces and institutions to develop another type of agriculture and scale down meat production and consumption and make other products more affordable for everyone, it cannot come only from making meat a luxury good.

In France, an ecological politician tried to talk about it recently, now she is receiving hundred of tweets of people taking pictures with huge pieces of meat, very proud of their own stupidity (including other politicians). I observe some changes around me though, in countries (home and host countries) where meat is still very important in the common diet, but far from being large and fast enough unfortunately...

Intensive agriculture and our economic system at large is going to screw us all everywhere: it causes climate change, and it also prevents (not rich) people to adapt to it. So fucked up.

Just doing strange stuff for me right now, telling me I reached my number of free articles and loading entirely again 5 seconds later 😅 anyway someone shared the article in another comment if needed :-)

I have access, weird 🤔

I am myself an introvert so I get that very much. The pairing is about trying to diffuse the anxiety. If I feel it is not working well, there are ways to mitigate the issue. For many exercises, interaction can be a nightmare for introverts. I was organising a role play in a master course and I know I would have hated that when I was a student, but I am trying to rely on my own experience to avoid huge mistakes and making people too inconfortable. It is important to read the room but also to experiment to see what works and not!

Lecturer here, and I would say it really depends on the setting and the content of the class. I tried different things that worked, pairing students to introduce each other for two minutes, then they have to present each other (small groups). Surveys with menti for large crowds, and I am also answering the questions (mix of personal/content/opinion questions to understand the general atmosphere ok the lecture hall).

In a summer school, I did something I really liked, the walking exercise. 3 rounds, 3 questions: students have to walk in the room, and when I clap they have to pair with the closest person and discuss the question. Then we share altogether. But again the content of the questions may really depend. The summer school was about transformations for sustainability, targeting PhD candidates. We were asking about an important event explaining why there were studying sustainability, one question was 'what are you good at' and the last one was 'what do you think should be transformed to become sustainable.'

Bonne nouvelle en soit, maintenant attendons les détails (montant, redistribution, moyens d'y échapper, etc.), et voir si d'autres pays voudraient suivre. Je suis assez pessimiste mais faut dire que les politiques écologiques ça donne pas envie d'être optimiste en général...

C'est un bon résumé de la situation aussi avec quelques liens intéressants pour ceux qui ne sont pas trop au fait ou veulent aller plus loin ensuite :)

Haha damn I really need to work on it, I am already bad in real life at noticing satire, it is even worse online 😅

"Lower class hexbear mob"? Seriously?? Or is it a satire?

If not, you are using your free speech against others here, showing how superior you think you are. Why couldn't they also express their voice?

How is the second statement problematic? It is a fact, that is largely documented in academia and many movements everywhere in the world. Disappointing decision....

If you want to know more, Timothée Parrique's website is a great source of information, with many references, academic and non academic, and many topics around degrowth! https://timotheeparrique.com/academic-articles/

So true! I was really sceptical at first, not being a huge fan of either western movies and Kung Fu ones, but this TV show is definitely something else! Starting season 3 now 😁

Currently, Warrior! And recently, Barry (one of the best tv shows I've ever seen)

Merci beaucoup ! Je suis arrivée tout récemment sur Lemmy, j'avais commencé sur Lemmy World, mais pour aider un peu la charge, je suis passée sur une autre instance, c'est donc mon deuxième premier post sur cette communauté !

Pour le partage, de rien :) je n'ai encore rien vu de précis en français la dessus, mais je me suis dit que c'était quand même une nouvelle importante, avec beaucoup de conséquences des deux côtés. De meilleurs articles devraient sortir bientôt. Mais je vois pas mal de gens s'écharper dans les réseaux (je bosse un peu sur ces questions) entre ceux qui applaudissent ce qui se passe dans ces pays qui s'affranchissent de la France et ceux qui estiment que c'est se vendre aux Russes. Pas mal de bouleversements en Afrique en ce moment pas que dans les ex colonies françaises, c'est une période importante.

Finished the two seasons of From that are out recently :) more like binged watched them actually 😅 I loved it, I was afraid of watching a modern kind of lost (never really got into it), but it is totally different, and rally my type of sci-fi horror/thriller. The actors are also doing a great job!
