Based.

I didn't fly for years either (nor I do possess a car), so yeah agree, or at least reduce this as much as possible.

But nutrition also has quite an impact, especially when we must consider that highly carbon rich forests still get destructed for (inefficient) food. The high amount of meat consumption in rich countries is unhealthy as well.

Right but you have to begin somewhere, and being a good example for others certainly helps as well.

I try to change my life such that it doesn't impact me much while having fairly large effect. For instance I'm basically vegan (still eat meat occasionally, e.g. when it's otherwise thrown away), I even don't want to eat meat anymore, the taste just got worse for me over time.

It also has effects on the market, e.g. Meat replacement products are quite affordable and popular.

Looks slightly off TBH, sources? Nuts being lowest, while Palm oil being quite high. Nuts are efficient, especially when considering caloric value, but I'm pretty sure something like a potato is better per kg. Palm oil AFAIK is a very efficient (most efficient vegetable) oil, might be that the destruction of highly carbon rich forest is factored in there maybe...

Nah you got to start at the source, more efficient, eat the (future-) parents.

Yeah one person can do only limited (at least constructive) change. And that likely takes time, but also consider generational shift. I think it's very likely the dems will slowly (depending on AOCs popularity, faster) shift more progressive. Let's hope the democratic system isn't entirely degraded till then, and Trump get's less popular as well.

So just bury the head in the sand and let the world (or at least US) collapse (i.e. uncontrolled climate change, entire degradation of the social system to capitalism)?

As audiophile as I am (own very expensive (> 1k) headphones for instance) and additionally I'm musician/producer.

I don't think you can hear the difference between 320kbit bitrate vs flac in a blindtest (this is important, to avoid biasing yourself). I could notice what was a 128kbit mp3 and flac in a blindtest and already that was minimal (and is likely mostly related to the 16k cut-off of 128kbit mp3), but 320kbit, nope...

If you notice a difference it likely has to do with different mastering/LUFS etc. not the compression artifacts themself.

I recommend ad-blockers (ublock origin), I haven't seen ads in like years on my devices.

Or millenia, if at all...

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

I'm really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I'm thinking about shorting the stock, it's so vastly overvalued, and there's strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

Yeah it's sad that LG didn't maintain that niche of high quality DAC jack phones. Also still stuck with my V30...

Like not get what you've got?

But it's difficult to get a decent phone with a jack these days, that's true...

I know a lot of people that lost their headphones, I don't have that issue.

Also I'm a musician with pretty good custom IEMs. I have to use a very energy hungry external DAC (and while that I can't easily charge), if I wouldn't still have a jack (with a very good DAC)

My main issue with external DACs is how fast they drain my battery...

So I guess it means now, that if you're still undiagnosed in the US (and suspect to be autistic), better don't let yourself diagnose... Sad times...

You must not be old enough to remember the 2008 election, then. People were accusing Obama of being the literal antichrist

Oh I was old enough, I didn't follow the election that time that closely, as IMO it wasn't that important as the last 3 (and I wasn't that political either) Though something like the Project 2025 were just not existing that time, and while Trump maybe always a crazy person, that all of this is that socially acceptable (conspiracies, lies across all dimensions) is a concerning trend (towards fascism, as Hitler etc. used similar rhetoric).

Maybe in hindsight it’s hard to make a comparisons, but every election since then has represented the same choice between ‘sane’ democrats and ‘crazy’ conservatives.

Right, as I said, I don't promote what the policy of the democrats is, I'm just concerned what the alternative looks like...

I mean yeah for non-white people maybe. But teenage German girls, that's a novum

the same rhetoric that’s been used for the last 5-6 elections at least

Nah, maybe a little bit for the last trump election where he dipped his toes into autocratic territory, now that he got support again (even House and Congress) he can go full autocratic. Everyone that's at least a little bit educated politically and economically shakes their head about Trump, and did so before the election too. It's not a rhetoric that was used before that much. Electing republicans was always a little bit correlated with stupidity but not like: Go full Trumpler/Hitler, full on conspiracy, "anti-establishment" (the opposite seems to be true, thinking about that there were never more billionaires in political power than ever before). The stupidity for a lot of americans seems to be at an all time high too.

Nah I really don't understand why people were omitting this election, just because they were in slight disagreement with the democrats (over things, where trump is orders of magnitudes worse)...

the biggest reason is usually because they (rightly) feel like the choice has little actual impact on their day-to-day life

Yeah and now take a close look at what Trump was "able" to do in just 4 months. Lets sum it up: it's not a good outlook for the economy (and especially poor people) in the USA. And it does hurt globally too. A single vote may not have much impact, but it can prevent this shitty state the US is in currently ("if everyone thinks like that...")

Blaming those voters without asking yourself why there were more of them this election is nothing more than political masturbation.

Ah common that's bullshit, I mean I'm mostly blaming republican voters that were for the most part voting against their own interests... The system is absolutely flawed, but people should at least try to prevent the worst (which they seemingly didn't).

And just a reminder that the democratic party does actually have members in its caucus that have a higher than 60% approval rating nationwide, but for some reason they chose not to run those candidates

Yeah there absolutely better candidates, and I really hope, that progressives like AOC gain much more power and the democrats are able to turn left. But then, there's still the question if there's an election again that is not a total shallow joke, so that democrats (or maybe even other parties) get a realistic chance for power again.

Seeing the downvotes here to something in my eyes obvious, really makes me want to block lemmy.ml. Are there really that much Trumpler-loving-Tankies around here? Such a contradiction: Hypercapitalism fueled autocracy, the only thing (I think) tankies and MAGAs agree with is probably autocracy.

Yeah I know, it's still a ***ing big facepalm for me, to not show up in one of if not probably the most important election, "just because" the democrats don't follow a great agenda. As left-leaning as I am and as much as I disagree with (most) democrats, the alternative is, as we currently see sooo much worse.

I wouldn't vote because I support what the democrats are doing, I just try to choose the lesser evil.

I'm European, and my vote is basically always strategic, I never really vote for the party that I'm really agreeing with, just the party that I'm in least disagreement with. Yes I think the democratic system in the USA (if it's still alive) is flawed (as are basically all democracies to some degree), it's bad, sure, but rolling out the red carpet for Trump by not voting (for the democrats) is... sorry... just dumb.

It's sad that people rather don't vote, and accept the fact that the states drift towards an autocratic system, than just vote for the lesser evil (or engage themselves politically).
