  • if you mean bike (as opposed to motorbike) helmet laws I would drop them from your list, they're unscientific garbage which have been found to worsen public health

  • Beans

  • some crops replenish nutrients, e.g. legumes directly fixing nitrogen from the air.

    just because capitalist industrial agriculture is addicted to fossil fuel fertilizers doesn't mean it's the only way to farm.

  • "planes .. viable"

    continuing to have a habitable planet should maybe be worth more to you than saving max. ~10 hours of journey time getting from one side of a continent to another.

  • 19 downvoters bringing a strong "shooting the messenger" energy

  • the only reduced population size that's needed is the population of plutocrats, the rest of us will be fine

  • being an insufferable prick and a conspiracy wingnut about people's basic spelling mistakes seems like a really weird hobbie

  • if you think that a videogame with a gay character is "promotion of homosexuality" and "grooming", but you don't think the same about a videogame with a hetero character, then I would ask you why, and why you think that isn't textbook homophobia.

  • commit message

    I'm --><-- close to just deleting OARS completely

    Don't threaten us with a good time Hughsie

  • hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here

    to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.

    if you're desperate to use a bathroom, and you can't afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders' register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.

    claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.

  • cool, I'll go make a powerpoint, can you also give me the necessary:

    • parents with spare $600k+ (inflation-adjusted from 1994 when Amazon started) to give me to build a prototype
    • rich &/ or influential friends, from my family and my expensive education
    • expensive education
    • etc

  • wow that sure is an extraordinary claim that a brain parasite has similar negative health effects to vaccines I'm sure extraordinary evidence is right on the way...

  • the definition of enshittification is absolutely about money, it doesn't just mean "making things worse"

  • totally fair to be upset IMO. spare a thought for my friend whose gym rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanning for entry, then mandatory facial recognition a few months later (they cancelled their membership)

  • Amir Ghavi is an AI and crypto ghoul and Biz Stone literally cofounded Twitter, this new seems to be about what I've come to expect from mastodon team by this point

  • methane is odourless so you're likely smelling the additive they add to "town gas" for safety

  • v unsurprising that an anticommunist instance has so many people shilling for oil companies imo
