No matter how much we fuck it up, this rock will always be more liveable than anything we can realistically find elsewhere. This planet is our spaceship, we better start treating it like one.

So the hiding function in Connect should work for you, without having to do all the blocking.

Connect can just blur or not show any NSFW post, if that helps

Amazing things are being created at some workplaces as well

I tip my hat to you

As pointed out above, if you hate plants, you should eat as much meat as possible. Every kilo of meat represents at least ten kilos of plants eaten by the animal.

IIRC, this actually happens. When the balance is disturbed, the mushrooms go wild and destroy young sapplings. Could be I recall incorrectly and it's actually other species. I cannot recommend The Mother Tree enough, it goes into great detail of the history of research into this

Their system automatically makes a winner of the biggest party. In any country that uses that system, it automatically leads to two main parties alternating in power. The advantage is that you don't need "messy" and "unstable" coalitions, but can have strong leadership with a solid base instead. Except that perhaps string leadership is a dangerous thing to have in many cases, and except that if the balance tends towards 50/50, you can easily have problems getting anything done.

Depends on the molecule. The ones used in vaccines are nit dangerous. See for example https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202100244467/

It is a non issue. It is also not unlikely for Trump to go completely nuclear over this, hopefully showing a few more folks what a moron he is.

And we are still increasing the rate at which we are making it worse...

Ironically, De Croo was also criticised here in Belgium for that speech being way too soft.

Buffalo weren't eaten to almost extinction. And they don't give birth to 10 calves at a time.

It's a laughing stock here in Belgium

That's just convenient defeatism. People are part of societies and are sensitive to choices others make. It does not save the sharks if you stop eating shark fin soup. But when there was a campaign against shark fin soup in China, and people actually chose to eat less of it, then that does have an impact on the shark population. Things can change surprisingly fast. It's just a drop in the bucket, but we're several billion people dripping into it. The collective impact of significantly reducing animal product consumption is important enough to try for it.

In general, drop the "this is a nonsense solution, we should do this other thing instead". We need to do all the things to survive this. Focus on making others with the same goal stronger, convincing them to do this other thing too, instead of ridiculing their efforts.

...any economic system that does not take externalised costs into account. This is not unique to capitalism.

Both a camper and a pick-up or a minivan, yep, I could get used to that! Would just need some more storage space. Or a rental service I guess!

They renamed to XBUS years ago, exactly because of the memes.

I also heard about this whole social media thing called X!

The impact of beef is still gigantic compared to other food sources, even if it's local or grass fed.
