  • My bad, didn't appreciate it was referring to happiness in terms of social freedoms.

    I meant for someone to have a good life without monetary worries on one side of the world it almost necessitates worse conditions elsewhere.

  • To be fair that's kind of true under capitalism.

  • With all the bad stuff happening in the world like politics war racism homophobia etc. What is some good news that isI happening that we don't read or see about?

  • Oh dear someone has had a tantrum and resorted to shouting and ad hominiums.

    I know solar is good and sounds like it works well for you in your part of the world. My only point is that it's not going to solve climate change like you make out.

    I don't play Fortnite or Rocket League lmao.

  • Yes they are the leaders in solar which is they are a good example... If the rest of the world was going at thier pace (it's not) it still wouldn't be fast enough.

    Then we've got the degradation to worry about so the panels will all need regularly replacing whilst silver, gold and rare earth metals run out.

    Rolling out that infrastructure is not likely to be smooth whilst most countries will be busy footing bills for the ongoing extreme weather. Not to mention the other potential blockers like wars, pandemics and lack of political will.

    That last line sounds boundlessly optimistic and condescending in equal measures. Magic is real lol please. Of course I know sunlight comes from the sky and electricity can be used to play games consoles.

  • I hadn't really noticed this, perhaps in hindsight you're correct. Can you be more specific?

    Gareth in The Office was pervy/racist who pretty much needed the abuse to prevent him making other's lives hell.

    With Maggie in Extras I saw it as a best friend banter type thing. The piss taking was done in private and came across in jest.

    If you're referring to Karl Pilkington, I think he new what he signed up for, was playing an exaggerated version of himself for comedic effect and made a lot of money in doing so.

    When Derek came out I couldn't get past the obvious, pretty much where I stopped following his material.

  • Extreme wildfires are here to stay. Can human beings really fight them?

    Jump

  • Fight? Sure.

    Succeed without significant loss of life and infrastructure? Doubt.

  • Pets are usually provided with everything they ever need by their owners so they have little reason to show their brutal side.

  • Still a strange take IMO.

    Bad individual human behaviour often pales into insignificance when contrasted with wild animal behaviour.

    Unless you count the ongoing ecocide we as a collective are in the midst of enacting...

  • As a massive fan of his older work, I was disappointed to see he has since turned his hand to creating transphobic jokes in his more recent material.

    Also find it a bit weird that he consistently proclaims how much he loves animals more than most humans.

  • Chuck some cheese sauce on that cauliflower, add some stuffing and we're getting there...

    Suddenly this hummus I'm eating for lunch doesn't quite cut the mustard. Actually on that note, include some mustard in the cauliflower cheese pls.

  • Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven...

    But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else's cuisines.

    By this logic the Japanese don't have curries and the Americans don't have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

  • Yeah never got this. The nation's favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn't it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?

    Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.

  • I love that even in the most fantastical scenario they couldn't envisage anything less than a 4 day work week.

  • As of 2023, solar energy accounted for about 4.5% of China's total energy consumption.

    In 2024 solar energy could account for around 5-6% of China's total energy consumption.

    If they add another 170GW in 2025, the percentage could rise to approximately 6-7%.

    They hope by 2026 solar will make up 8-9% of the total energy consumption.

    If solar is the future then we are screwed because that isn't fast enough growth... and that is without factoring in the rest of the world who will hit nowhere near those numbers.
