And that was before Pelosi made AOC fire her most visibly leftist staffers.

Communism is better than nothing, but it’s going to have to be a global communism to make a difference, since any one of us on the planet can clearly consume 5x+++ their share of resources annually.
Even if we got 75% of the world population with the program, we could still have a consumption problem 5x that of America, because the greatest consumers will be the last to join the revolution.
Climate Stalin is the only thing that might, might improve the situation we’re going to find ourselves in. Other than that, we’re just going to pollute ourselves and everyone else to extinction, hence my belief that all non-human flora and fauna would be better off without us.
Garlic
He is a dipshit, but there is also precedence for people cropping themselves to get on the dole:
And you are going to magically manage energy demand through gentle suggestion?
Coffee tastes bad, coke zero is great first thing in the morning, and egg nog is better without any alcohol in it.
Who cares
Humans need to go extinct for the good of every non-human on the planet. We’re never going to get a critical mass of people worldwide on the right page to continue increasing our population without wrecking everything.
Live long and die out.
We have cameras to see if the mail has come yet, which of us moved the big broom, check in on things while we’re out of town, etc. They can be useful even if you’re not in a risky neighborhood.
ETA: We have no firearms, because we don’t have any interest in maintaining the proficiency necessary to ensure that we don’t accidentally kill each other. Even aside from that, we have no interest in hunting, and the likelihood that a gun would ever make a positive difference during some remotely-possible home invasion is basically unmeasurable.
This is why I don’t read Nextdoor anymore. I live in a boring, safe suburban neighborhood, and all I read on there were people freaking out about nothing, propagandizing themselves and each other. Fascist hellscape, Nextdoor is.
The Psychologists in my family only refer to Myers-Briggs in an anecdote from grad school: it was used as the ideal example of how to design a terrible test.
They say that, if you’re going to do a personality test, long-form MMPI is the best of them, but personality tests are just academic exercises that don’t tell the therapist as much as they could learn by just talking to the patient.
I’d love to know under what conditions this proposal is constitutional.
The supreme court is a right wing sclerotic fistula providing passage to creeping fascism, but reinterpreting Article 3 Section 1 is a tall order. By only saying that justices shall “hold their offices during good behavior” the Constitution is traditionally read to mean that only impeachment, retirement, or death will end a term.
But by simply subtracting the number of kids I’d otherwise have by one, I’m preventing 21 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year.

There is simply no way to make enough lifestyle changes to offset that. I’d have to live car-free for 55 years to offset just a single year of a theoretical child’s existence… and that kid is going to live for 70-100 years.
Obviously those things are on a different scale, but there are 3.7 million children born in the US alone every year.
That means it would take 193 million people -per year - switching to an entirely car-free lifestyle to negate that.
Or 400 million people per year switching to a plant-based diet.
Billionaires and the military doing bad stuff doesn’t justify the ecological harm of enlarging the human population.
Right here, in living color for you:
The audience on Lemmy is self-evidently overwhelmingly from developed nations, where most of the ecological harm per-capita is done.
I don’t understand the anti-antinatalist stuff. Having a kid is literally the worst thing you can do to the environment. Shouldn’t we reckon with that?
Uber Eats on my Android is 280MB for some reason.
Strangely, my largest app is Samsung SmartThings at 822MB. Maybe they include every driver for every possible device or something.
No car or motorcycle should ever exceed 80db SPL at 2 meters. If they do, it’s RPG time.
