They’re just mad because grindr went down

Didn’t realise paymoneywubby was on lemmy

A species gradually changing is evolution, extinction is where the species dies out, bit of a difference

It only took humanity 50 years to wipe an average of 70% off the panet’s biodiversity

Does this not count as election interference the same way musk promising to pay people for voting is?

Ive got two that come to mind in terms of modern punk

Zeal and Ardor - top tier punk with heavy vibes and a grandiose range

La Dispute - some of the greatest and most emotionally devastating music you’ll hear

We’ll make a fine message to future civilisations

We’re all going to be fine.

Well I know what phrase I’m using at the next opportunity

Any other company would have been sued into nonexistence if they released a car that;

Lied in its marketing

Can’t tow for shit - aluminium frame holding tow bar collapses under ‘rated’ strain

Can’t be driven in water - electronics fail

Can’t offroad

Breaks when treated as anything but a soccermom suv

Stuck the accelerator on full blast during one user’s drive

Autopilot feature was stuck behind and update for the first year

And now denonstrably sets fire to itself if damaged from the underside (but dont worry, the company now sells a product to bandaid that open chest wound)

You should probably close the door then /j

An ez bake with a fan?

I’m not going to search too deep for the sake of my own eyes, but had seen reference to their other works in a post on reddit that go beyond “questionable aesthetics” and into straight up ‘that is a child’

Not entirely, that artist is also a confirmed pedo

Ohhhh THOSE kind of boots. Damn.

We need revolutionary individual and mass action

Ok, describe the action. Do you want me to describe how to organise a protest without the surveillance state quashing it or having the local police harass you and legally enter your home to search through your belongings to find a reason to arrest you?

Or are you thinking of more direct action like those kids who keep going around pulling down flock cameras or burgling their way into the offices of the many arms of the military industrial complex, to then be arrested and charged as domestic terrorists?

Or do you want me to fill a fire extinguisher with orange paint?

Glue myself to a main road to make the proletariat late for work and sit idling their cars?

You want to be real? Then treat this like we’re going to survive, but treat it like the only way we’re going to do so is through actual community standing up for their rights as a group,

Small acts of defiance from fringe groups that do nothing but feed into the atomisation of society through mass media hysteria and put more bodies into prisons.

Relying on personal consumption changes like “don’t buy from Amazon” is also insufficient and essentially a capitalist myth that the onus of climate change is on the consumers

I’m not doing it to sound like BP with their “Carbon footprint” bullshit, I’m saying the less people feeding money into this modern day slave labour business, the better off we are as a society. The lessened environmental impact is a bonus even if it is just a drop in the ocean.

“Pestering” your local politicians and voting for the liberal capitalist party over the regressive capitalist party is not proving to be a sufficient formula for change.

Ok, so instead of putting people in power who can enact change, we should do what exactly?

Continue to talk about it on a message board until we say something egregious enough for the clanker currently scalping our words to flag up a “person of interest” label and have someone come knocking?

If you’re going to make a post saying “nuh uh, we need to dismantle the system” then please elaborate on how you intend to do so and what comes after, how you intend to actually survive the future climate without going completely bougie isolationist and starting a homestead out in the countryside where you grow your own food, make your own power, build your own house and somehow do so with no money, bo community and without dying of preventable diseases.

This chap’s been designing and building a whole slew of them for that exact purpose (and for general solar heat collection in general)

No. I’m barely even a functional organism for about 90% of the day.

(But hey, I’m not a politician or a vacuous online personality, so I’ve got that going for me)

Start growing potatoes and a few varieties of beans, learn how to ferment vodka, and how to safely run a distillation to get alcohol strong enough to sterilise bandages or run a generator (<95% or so)

Get to know your neighbours and look out for one another. Being the person with big ratchet straps, wood planks and tarps, who’s also willing to help batten down the hatches is a good way of being part of the community, learn how to make flood defences and how to not die in one.

Get on a first aid course that goes on for more than just a day. Keep your first aid kit and your skills up to date.

Learn to maintain things without killing yourself by touching something charged (physically or electrically) or damaging the thing you’re trying to fix.

Get solar panels, charge caravan batteries to run inverters for when the rolling blackouts come.

Find out how to make the chalk paint they put over shop windows for the coming months when the sunlight is unbearable, IR blocking window films also help to keep the indoors from heating up as harshly, while lowering heat loss in the winter, the paint is cheaper but can be washed off when it rains, window films are easier if you’re not on the ground floor.

Switch to a renewable energy provider and cancel your amazon/whatever food delivery things you may use (I genuinely dont get why someone would pay double to order a private taxi for a fast food slop meal in the first place let alone the environmental impact of someone taxi-ing food around a city.)

Pester the shit out of your local politicians to focus more on environmental protection, and dont fall for the “voting is pointless, every party is bad” bullshit, because the worst and dumbest people you know are voting for the worst and the dumbest candidates that are ripping the copper out of the walls as we speak.

If things don’t get to 3°C and ~2bn deaths by 2050 it’ll be through the efforts of the people in power actually being forced to give a shit.
